Tea Party Update: Holding the winners feet to the fire

Russ Steele

How the real battle begins. This came in a Tea Party Patriots Newsletter this morning:

Tea Party Patriots is launching a Perpetual Legislative Watch/Congressional Accountability Project. We have already been watching the legislators for the past 20 months. We have no intention of letting up now. On the weekend of November 12 - 14, local coordinators from around the country will meet with the incoming Congressional freshmen for an orientation. We will have legislative experts who will guide the freshmen on how to first defund and ultimately repeal government controlled health care. We will have economic experts to help them understand the things they will need to do to reduce the federal deficit and restore fiscal sanity to the country. We will have experts who can provide guidance on how to restore Constitutional governance to the country. We will help them to bond together to restore the Constitution in the upcoming legislative session. Finally, we want them to know that if they do the right thing, they will have the support of the people.

The Tea Party is not going way, it is going to get stronger. In addition to the above actions Tea Party members have also moved in to a lot of precinct and state-committee posts. We’ll see more of them over the next couple of years, especially at the state level where redistricting will be one of the major local issues in 2011. Stay Tuned.
