TEA PARTY

Unsilenced Cal asks: Do you know when the Tea Party began? Ans. After the February 19, 2009 rant by Rick Santelli about Obama’s ‘Housing Bailout’ on CNBC . But, that was just giving a popular name to a movement, already in progress, against government’s out-of-control spending. The movement began with protests in 2008 against the TARP giveaway begun by Pres. Geo.W. Bush. I know because I then stood with other angered and aroused Americans in Columbus. In a mere 3 years, the Tea Party movement has re-invigorated debate about three key principles - Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutional Limited Government and Free Markets. Sounds simple, but if you don’t go back to what was right in our history, you won’t know what’s wrong with our government today. The Tea Party has not one leader but thousands of leaders, each a ‘visionary’ fighter like you and me working to improve conditions in 5 aspects of life in Obamaland. More on that tomorrow. PS. Ask God to especially reward a Marine father who recently died trying to rescue his two children from a fire in his home.
