I read the Chronicles description of the Tea Party (16 Jan 2010) and noticed that they missed the reason for people being there. The 1,200 to 1,500 people did come to hear people like Marco Rubio and I speak, yet it was not because Rubio was running as much as the fact that people are stepping up to say what is going on in Washington is wrong and we are speaking out against it. It also is about people coming up with an answer of how to fix it. During my speech I brought up Term Limits, this was the loudest applause that I got. I have no doubt that the reason for this is that the people of America do not trust their government and are starting to say that regardless of party we need a fix, that more spending is not the answer. The people want those who in the past, have gotten us into it this situation need to get out of the way. We want someone to come in and fix it, someone who is not there for themselves.
The second biggest applause that I got was for the strong emphasis on the Fair Tax, people simply want a tax system that doesn’t punish success or give away their hard earned money to those who mooch.
We are glad that the people running for office came to speak but the media and all politicians need to know that the truth is that we want our freedom and our money to stay the same way that it was meant to be when the founders established this country.
The next fact that was missed was those in the tea party need to get out into the crowd and talk to the people, which is what I did. I found out that, people want to be more organized and get better educated. The Tea Party needs to make plans for what’s next; even if we get our people in office can we fix it. That is what we who spoke at the Tea Party need to answer! What next?
