“The Founders would surely disagree with you”
Oh really? Last time I checked, the Founders mentioned the God-given right to life in the Constitution. So you believe they would support a right to abortion? Or the undermining of the backbone of our society, the family, by gay “marriage”? I find it interesting that you think the Founding Fathers would support these abominations.
I have had pro-life events that our local “tea party” group refuses to advertise, because they “don’t want to touch social issues”. Someone posted a thread on here a few months back about a man in California who was asked to leave a tea party rally for distributing pro-life literature. I agree wholeheartedly with the Tea Party’s stance on fiscal responsibilty. But I’m sad that they won’t go near issues of social responsibility like abortion.

Understand the Tea Party is different in different area’s, which is why we are the United States, meaning more local control as the founders wanted it.
Our Tea Party here has supported anti-abortion meetings and strongly stands against gay marriage, so if this is your local critical issues are these make it happen at the Tea Party, because the Tea Party is the closest you can get to “We the People”. Meaning if you cannot get it to happen at the Tea Party meetings then it is not that critical to your group. We see morals as number 1 overall issue, fix it and we are on the path to fixing all other problems.
