Everyone who watches the news knows what's taking place here in Massachusetts and what's at stake as far as future policy and legislation. But what most people don't get the chance to do is to actually feel what's in the air here in the cradle of American history. So I wanted to travel to Boston to touch the moment, firsthand, and to share that experience with people who can't be here. Monday night I boarded a redeye from the west coast, and I exited just hours later in the midst of one of the seminal battles of the Second American Revolution. 

  I spent much of Election Day with my Tea Party Patriots Co-Founder, Jenny Beth Martin, just touring around the city and talking to people. We've been in hotel lobbies, bakeries, coffeehouses and restaurants, and we've seen a city consumed with politics. Despite the rain, occasional snow and sleet, people came out to vote, and possibly in record numbers. The mood is very upbeat, and my impression is that the majority of citizens sense something historic and feel they are participating in an opportunity to push the country away from politics as usual. We keep hearing phrases like, "it's our chance to send them a message," and "we're tired of politicians who don't listen to us."
