The Tea Party is not a branch of the Republican Party. We reject politics as usual.
Washington D.C. is corrupt. The Establishment — both Republicans and Democrats — are corrupt.
Special interests and campaign finance money are heavily influencing everything that happens in our political system, which heavily influences our government, which heavily influences our economy, which is headed towards collapse. They are entrenched with The Media on both sides acting as Establishment guard dogs and lap dogs, instead of watch dogs for The People.
The Tea Party must reject politics as usual and business as usual. We must reject Establishment politicians like Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. This has to be a true grass roots movement that is “of the people.”
2012 is the year that we will change everything. We have to. This might be our last chance. Our economy, government and political system are seriously broken. We are on the brink of becoming Greece, except our fall will be orders of magnitude more disastrous.
This is serious, people. Please get involved! We need you! Now is the time. Grab your pitch forks and your credit cards. We need to take back and fix our government in 2012.

The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution make the PEOPLE the sovereigns, NOT the politicians.
For those who are interested:
Here is a link to the Hillsdale College short six week videos on the Constitution.
Part IV speaks to this issue of who really is the sovereigns of this nation.

Hate to break it to you, Bob but the Rick Perry machine has already co- opted the Tea Party movement here in Texas. The State Tea Party Express, as they are called, now has a tv ad playing extolling the virtues of Perry and Scott Walker, his peer from Wisconsin. It’s a Perry campaign ad thinly disguised as a Tea Party movement with Walker along for the ride as camouflage. I’m surprised they didn’t wrap Rick up in the Gadsden Flag.
