Freedom 21--Henry Lamb: Where is the Tea Party?

By Henry Lamb

Democrats rarely miss an opportunity to denounce the Tea Party, and are quick to announce that the Tea Party is over. Still in shock about the effectiveness of the Tea Party in its effort to take control of the House of Representatives from Nancy Pelosi, Democrats
are trying to convince themselves that the 2010 mid-term election was a fluke. They just can’t believe that the Tea Party could do it again in 2012.

Where is the Tea Party? It is not “occupying” public parks and leaving mountains of trash that must be cleaned up at public expense. The Tea Party is not “occupying” California ports, disrupting the flow of commerce by forcing working people to lose days of work. The Tea Party is not shutting down restaurants and blocking streets to congregate in tent-cities where drugs, sex, and filth identify the “occupiers.” The Tea Party is going about its business, organizing and learning to be even more effective in achieving its goals.

The Tea Party exists because ordinary people realized that government was out of control and Congress was unable or unwilling to fix the problem. The Tea Party exists to return the federal government to the limitations of the U.S. Constitution, to end the out-of-control deficit, and to force the government to work within a balanced budget.

Democrats consider these goals to be extreme.  Democrats go ballistic when Tea Party-supported Representatives refuse to rubber-stamp Barack Hussein Obama’s demand to spend money the nation doesn’t have - in order to reward his supporters in the green energy industry, or to expand largesse to the democratvoting, dependent segment of society who believes government owes them a living.

The Tea Party is maturing, evolving, coalescing with 9.12 groups and existing property rights, and tax-reform groups. The Tea Party is growing into a genuine Freedom Movement. Instead of “occupying” public space, Tea Parties, and the organizations with which they are coalescing, are holding weekly and monthly meetings to study issues at the local, state, and national levels.

They are learning about sustainable development, and Agenda 21. They are learning how the 17th Amendment removed the states from participation in the national government. They are learning why and how to repeal this amendment. They are learning how domestic policy is influenced by Global Governance. They are working with other organizations to learn how to influence state legislation. And they are holding conferences and seminars everywhere.
