We either get politicians who uphold our views or we become politicians and do it ourselves.
Thinking about a spot on my village council myself. We have minimal local government and I would intend to keep it that way.
Your viewpoint is a super explanation of the how’s and why’s of the Tea Party and why it exists. I agree whole-heartedly and would only add another way to express one’s opinion without the expense of running for office and all that’s connected to it is simple, BOYCOTT!!!!
Up until now it hasn’t been very organized. I think the Tea Party movement should also express it’s opinion and suggest various people, places and things to BOYCOTT!!!. I would venture a guess it would be much more effective than running for office.
The nation cannot stand another four years of Obama & Company. I just hope we can hang in there until 2013, when I expect he’ll be gone.
