Let's Take Our Country Back.

Happy Birthday Tea Party. Tax Day Tea Party February 27 marks the official beginning of the Tea Party Movement as we currently know it, will be left open for discussion and debate. This much we can be sure - it was on this date in 2009, that small groups of people met in cities across the country to protest the $786 billion Stimulus Bill. It was from those small events that the Tea Party became a mass movement garnering national attention and having a significant influence on the direction of our nation politically, fiscally and socially. The message of those first Tea Party events was simply “enough is enough.” A year later, we have developed such political momentum that the Republicans “need our help and support” and the Democrats “must take into account our voice and conservative influence.” Neither party can now make major decisions without taking into account the power and influence of the Tea Party Movement. Many people have tried to paint a picture of the Tea Party Movement as angry Republicans, religious right-wingers, obstructionists, out of touch conservatives, astro-turfers, tea baggers and a host of other descriptive names and/or phrases. The fact is, there are five general principles that define the Tea Party Movement: 1) Fiscal Responsibility, 2) Personal Responsibility, 3) Limited Government, 4) Rule of Law and 5) National Sovereignty taxdayteaparty.com/…/happy-birthday-…
