The Tea Party movement is not a political party, so to speak. It is basically a cheerleader movement. While it is driven by political issues, it is powered by the people. the motivation is not to be political, but to make an attempt to return to the idea that the government is "for the people, by the people."

If politicians do not hijack the Tea Party movement, the country will win big in November. The Tea Party movement is not the Republican party. The Tea Party movement is also not a third party movement. It is a movement of people in America who are tired of the way professional politicians have wrecked the whole government. People who support this movement are wanting to take this nation back from those who have kicked the Founding Fathers out.

The movement that will turn the nation around will not be about politics. It will not be about popularity. It will be about truth and the American way. It will be about what this nation’s foundation is made of. It will be about the people being represented by our elected officials, and about only electing officials who will represent. The Tea Party movement will, if not infiltrated by professional politicians, inspire new leadership from among the common people.

If given the freedom to do so, this movement will include all races and all political parties, all religions and classes. However, it will likely not be populated by many liberals. If this movement can overcome, and even ignore the bashing and false criticism that all political parties, and the media throw at it, America stands a chance for recovery from the current overloaded governmental power that is controlling her, rather than representing the people. Chances are that it would mean that the Republican Party would also be a winner.

The call for people to get involved by voting, and encouraging their friends to vote, will strengthen the possibility of Americans being heard in the DC. Our votes will speak loud and clear, and will be easily understood if the Tea Party can inspire people to kick apathy in the pants, and roll up their sleeves prepared to go to work to rebuild.

It is a good movement. It is a movement that stands tall for America. The people need to be stirred up, fired up, and pumped up with good old patriotic thunder, and American pride. At the same time, issues that are wrecking this nation must be addressed with strong, aggressive, and thoughtful criticism, and presented with worthy alternatives.
