It was February 2009 when my family hit rock-bottom. Little did I know that, one year later, TIME Magazine would name me one of the world’s Most Influential people for my role as a leader in the Tea Party movement.
I did not feel influential on that cool February morning. I felt like a greying mother of young twins who had just lost her Atlanta family home to foreclosure. Our family was not alone in our suffering. Millions of Americans had lost their homes too, in what was called the worst foreclosure crisis in American history. Millions more, like my husband and I, were also newly out of work, with the U.S. unemployment rate climbing to levels not seen since the Great Depression.
Things looked bleak for our family. But we did not lose hope. We did not lose our belief in the American Dream. Most importantly; we did not lose our sense of responsibility to our children.

The liberals have the Ford Foundation and George Soros and conservatives have the Tea Party.Its like bringing a knife to a tank fight but freedom will win.
what's the tea party accomplished other than polarizing the party and costing us two elections
If your not a conservative you would not understand 4:17. Principles are more important than politics. Becoming a moderate republicrat is no solution, only a slower decent to Hell. That said,
as a member of the Tea Party Patriots, we need more Wicomico County participation. All of our surrounding counties are growing in membership, not so much here. Time is getting short. Wake up, get together, make a plan.
5:16. great rhetoric. Please articulate ANYTHING the far right has accomplished other than ensuring the election of Obama TWICE
Anything new and good takes time to build momentum.
I only know one person from the tea party and damn he's a unprincipled moron. What are the tea parties values? Is it a party requirement to be old, fat, white and just plain grumpy? Just saying.
your momentum is headed in the wrong direction
