Conservatives, we have a viable party as a foundation. The Tea Party can be a national third and eventually second major party. Remove all funding and volunteer support from the GOP and funnel it to the Tea party. The time now or never.

We should also begin a draft Cruz movement. He would be an effective first national Tea Party candidate for President of the United States.

It seems to me that as a separate party we would have more leverage than we now do as an amorphous bloc within a GOP that is openly hostile to us.

Let the GOP be the party of corporate elites with no allegiance to the American people. They may have all the campaign money but I bet they won’t get all the votes.

With the rise of the internet and social media I suspect that big money won’t be able to buy elections like they have in the past. It doesn’t take as much money to organize and get your message out.

The tea party took out a major GOPe player in Virginia, Eric Cantor, and it forced Mitch McConnell to fight for his Senate seat. If we organize as a separate party we won’t be restricted to just picking off GOPe sleazebags in the primaries, we can fight them right through the general election.

The tea party is a not really a political party. It's more of an anti-political party. It's mostly people that want their elected representatives to represent the people.

By formalizing it into a political party we will no longer be the voice of the people. Political parties are lobbied and tend to become corrupted. As long as we don't have leaders to corrupt, we will remain the voice of the people even as some voices move on to become political candidates.
