TEA PARTY GROUPS UNITE IN NATIONAL TEA PARTY FEDERATION A broad coalition of national and regional Tea Party groups have announced the formation of the National Tea Party Federation (NTPF). The NTPF is established to create a unified message and media response amongst key leadership and their affiliates. At the same time, the NTPF will act as a clearinghouse and to promote the Tea Party movement’s objectives of:

•Fiscal Responsibility
•Constitutionally Limited Government
•Free Markets

Repeal 0bamacare should be there explicitly, albeit it's kinda covered in the “Constitutionally Limited Government”

Ah. Good work. Tea Party groups need to have a unified message.

“Free Markets”

-

So the globalist RINOs have taken over the tea party movement?

“Free trade”?

How about - buy American! How about BALANCED TRADE. How about open markets for American exports??

We’ve got “free trade”. It’s what’s destroying our economy.

The tea party - if they allow this globalist “federation” to assimilate the movement, just guaranteed their irrelevance.

They’re acting no different that the RINOS.

As long at the Tea Party does not align it with a specific political party and supports real conservatives with this set of objectives, it can influence the selection of candidates in the primaries and outcomes in the elections.

The Republicans need to understand this is not business as usual and the Democrats need to be very afraid. If Tea Party becomes a separate political party (as some have suggested and the democrats/media want), then it is shooting itsself in the foot. If the Tea Party becomes a large voting block with a set of common sense values, then a favorable outcome can be achieved.

In that vein, these objectives can be used to recruit "independents" and democrats (what was that poll the other day). When Democrats/Progressives/Socialists and their attack dogs in the liberal/socialist media trash the Tea Party it grows stronger.

I had an interesting thought the other day. Democrats were always saying, "It's for the children." When you think about what the Obama/Pelosi/Reid Socialists are doing to America, we now own the cause - It's for the children. How are we going to leave America for the children? Massive debt? Sky-high taxes? No jobs and opportunities? A world-class weakling? Third-world health care? Think about it.
