I  applaud the actions of my fellow leaders in the Tea Party.  Their steadfast actions are commendable. As a Marine and also as a career Navy officer, I know how important it is to have a cohesive force to properly execute its objectives.
The Tea Party is not much different. Each group has their specialty, their own operational mandates and objectives. A few organizations overlap in operations but the mission is the same.
However, the Tea Party is unique because there are numbers of small Tea Party groups, but, only a handful of major leaders. Each major Tea Party organization has found their niche.
For example, the Tea Party Express has done a wonderful job with their cross-country express traveling from city to city, spreading the message of the Tea Party. No doubt, they have plans in the works for another nationwide express. The Tea Party Nation has just finished the first national convention, which by all measures, has been a smashing success. The Tea Party Patriots have the ability to create large events, gathering Tea Party members from across America into a single rally. Let's remember the achievements of the Tax Day Tea Party as they protest big government and high taxes every 15th of April.
Of course, my organization, www.TeaParty.org is constructing the backbone approach to this grassroots movement by providing powerful tools and inspirational leadership for the Tea Party members of all the groups. We created the first Tea Party Fax Project and have already faxed over 600,000 Pink Slips to Congress.  We have created the Tea Party Radio Network which will soon flood America with the message of the Tea Party. Our membership site is compared to none! We are developing a Tea Party certification process where candidates can be certified by the Tea Party and thereby able to be endorsed by millions of our members. Candidates who become Tea Party certified publicly state they will hold true to the foundational principles of the Tea Party as their platform.
Even though all the Tea Parties are independent, all have the same theme, the Restoration of America. The Common Sense, Constitutional Conservative approach to Government is our life blood and our mantra. All groups big or small hold fast to the principles laid down by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution and Bill Of Rights. The Tea Party strives to insure those Judaic/Christian principles embedded in our great founding documents by demanding these precepts be carried forward into office by those we endorse.
Our plans for the Restoration of America are being reviewed by our leadership and I expect America will soon see a united effort by many Tea Party groups focusing on certain specific and strategic candidates. Some candidates the Tea Party chooses to endorse will be Independent candidates, others will be Republicans and I believe several Blue Dog Democrats have also caught our attention.
Taking a step back, one must ask themselves, what type of impact will a grassroots organization have on the November elections when that group, as a whole, can put hundreds of thousands of ralliers at a single event, drive a Tea Party Express across America, city by city, sponsor national events raising millions of dollars, send millions of Pink Slips to Congress, blanket America with the Tea Party Radio Network and then endorse specific candidates?
The Tea Party hypothetical situation encapsulates the most fascinating question of them all.  Hypothetically, what type of impact will the Tea Party have if all of our 10 million members send a candidate just a $1.00 donation this week, then another candidate a $1.00 donation the following week, week after week and so on and so on.
What type of impact do you think the Tea Party movement can generate if only half of what I saying comes true?
The Tea Party is still growing!  Just last week, TeaParty.org counted over 7,000 new members and I am not even addressing our friends at the 912 organizations, Minutemen and Veterans groups.
One must ask themselves a simple question, is the Tea Party reinventing politics in America?
 
Newsflash

It’s time to Raise Cane! Charlie Crist’s bailout of U.S. Sugar must be stopped. Even the liberal New York Times is calling this a bailout and would cause Crist’s cronies to raise your taxes! That’s right! Crist’s unelected Board Members of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) boondoggle of a deal is TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION and a BAILOUT OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.
