WHO SAYS THE TEA PARTY IS
DEAD?
by Tom Balek - 1/25/2012
Recently the mainstream media has
taken great glee in announcing the death of the Tea Party. They
are giddy with the notion that they have succeeded in their
mission to eliminate the Tea Party, the primary threat to their
failed liberal ideology.
I can attest that in Montana, and
across the nation, the Tea Party is gaining momentum every day.
Tea Party members and supporters are running for, and winning,
positions at every level of government. We hold candidate
forums and work directly with political leaders and prospects.
We investigate and steer legislation. We educate our
families, friends and neighbors on the importance of restoring
fiscal sanity and productivity to government, and protecting our
constitutional freedoms.
The Montana Tea Party Coalition,
made up of affiliate groups from all over the state, continues
to grow and take on important projects. It is a powerful
force in Montana politics and government. Registrations
for an upcoming training session for Tea Party leaders in
Montana quickly overran expectations and required an increase in
capacity.
The Tea
Party has evolved. Just a few short years ago the
movement was very visible as citizens stormed the streets and
capitols, expressing deep concern over our nation’s precipitous
decline, and not quite knowing what to do about it. While
the liberal media slaps each other on the back and hangs
“Mission Accomplished” banners, today’s Tea Party is working
hard behind the scenes and getting results. It is cause
for great optimism for the upcoming elections and beyond.
