Inquiring minds want to know: Who and What is the Tea Party?
Many groups and organizations are working night and day to capture the heart, minds, and support of the Tea Party, but, who and what is the Tea Party? This is the question that is asked each day by those misinformed or those who’ve never taken time to actually understand what this movement is about. Frequently I am asked ‘exactly what is the Tea Party?’ Well, that answer depends entirely on who you ask. The main stream media searches out the most absurd or fringe elements they can locate to associate the entire movement with that particular perspective. We have been considered or called fringers, tea baggers, extremists, domestic terrorists, racists, old white people, conspiracy theorists, and many other colorful expressions have been used to explain the phenomenon we call the Tea Party. None of those expressions are even remotely accurate. After traveling the country 3 times, attending several events in DC, and a few hundred Tea Parties I can say with all sincerity and honesty that the Tea Party consists of true, freedom loving Americans concerned about the state of their country and the state we are leaving it in for future generations. The Tea Party is an organic movement...

Mortgaging the nation?s future? I?ve been around a long time and I?ve seen a bunch of, well, stupid things. But folks, let me tell you, there?s something in the water in Washington DC that causes a complete shutdown of one?s ability to reason or be rational. We are facing a crisis. Yawn. And, never one to let a crisis go to waste, the President is proposing to once again pile more debt on the backs of our sons and their ladies. And, if they ever get around to it, our grandchildren. It?s the housing crisis. Again. Full disclosure here, I spent about fifteen years as a mortgage banker. The current problem in the housing industry goes back to two events. The first was passage of the Community Redevelopment Act that basically said to banks if you continue to structure your mortgage lending in a way that refuses money to high risk borrowers we (the banking regulators) will destroy you with fines. The second event occurred sometime in the mid-late 90s and was when homeowners woke up one fine day and decided their home was no longer ?mama?s nest? but rather, an asset on their personal financial statement. The result of...

Freedom of information? Says who? I?m going to make the non-rash assumption that our gentle readers are familiar with the Freedom of Information Act or FOIA, which is widely used by citizens at all levels of government. As you undoubtedly know, the purpose of FOIA is to make sure citizens have the opportunity to access information that government agencies use to formulate policies or to made decisions on a wide variety of matters. I know you?ll be shocked, shocked, to find out that some folks in government would just as soon you and I couldn?t access that information. Just ask Eric Holder. It turns out that the latest shot across the bow attacking citizen access comes from Washington state. The Seattle Times reports on this development starts out like this? State lawmakers are exploring a plan that could limit how governments respond to requests for public documents, allowing them to get a court order if they can prove that a request creates a “significant burden.” Seems like some ?government leaders? feel like they?re being harassed and want it stopped. They cite people who?ve made ?too many? requests or who file ??broad and onerous requests that consumed large chunks of staff...

Term Limits is Back in the News. Is It the Best Solution to the Problem?
Term Limits is back in the news. I’m interested in your thoughts because I can’t seem to make up my mind. Per US Term Limits (USTL), “U.S. Senator Jim DeMint is [introducing] a “Sense of the Senate” amendment to gauge support for term limits…” Sense of Congress resolutions, whether attached as amendments or stand alone efforts do not have the force of law but are often used to float ideas for consideration or build support for them. DeMint’s amendment is to legislation preventing members of Congress from profiting from insider trading. USTL President Phil Blumel approves, noting, “The heart of corruption in Congress is the sense of entitlement that individual members feel. Passing [term limits] would cut through the corrupt culture that permeates Washington, D.C.” In addition to the Sense of the Senate amendment, DeMint is also the author of actual Term Limits legislation which would have the force of law if passed, SJ11. It would limit members of the US House to three two year terms and members of the US Senate to two six year terms. The bill was introduced in April of 2011 and currently has 10 Senate co-sponsors, most notably Mike Lee of UT, Rand Paul...

An invisible man at the center of power?
A few days ago, in a piece published at Liberty, I noted that my mom always told me that I?d be known by the people I hung around with and that the President?s mom had obviously not passed that wisdom on to him, given the string of felons and ?should-be? felons he associates ? closely ? with. Today, I must reiterate that message and highlight another Obama enabler, a man who probably gives a clear picture of the ?real? Barack Obama, and a man who may actually be the most dangerous man in the country. At least to those of us who prize the concepts of individual liberty and limited government. His name is Patrick Gaspard. Chances are you?ve never heard of him and he would like to keep it that way. Mr. Gaspard follows in some legendary footsteps of people who you most likely have heard of and he almost certainly wields more raw power than all of them put together. Put simply, he is Barack Obama?s Karl Rove, on crystal meth and steroids. Among the positions he?s held, and we?ll have more detail later, he was an executive of 1199SEIU, arguably the most powerful union in the country...

Obama Burdens America?s Children with $5 trillion more Debt
Democracy and Power: 104 Future Debt Burden
Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt. ? Herbert Hoover
All democracies institute programs for current voters and shift the debt to future workers, even the unborn. Social Security, Medicare, prescription drug benefits for seniors are prime examples in America.
Obama Burdens America?s Children with $5trillion more Debt
Bush II spent much too much money and increased our debt. President Obama spent more money, and in four years increased our debt by $5 trillion. Debt is an unpaid tax that is pushed off to be paid by future workers, i.e. our children and grandchildren. President Hoover once said, "Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt." Sad but true; this is an immoral burden on the young and unborn. [Read: http://www.freedomworks.org/blog/teda/when-pretending-fails-to-hide-bankruptcy]
How have the political elites failed America and America?s children? First, the federal government has not had a budget for over 2 years. A budget is a road map to balancing anticipated revenues with authorized expenditures. No institution can exist without a budget. Intentionally and harmfully, Congress and the President have breached their most basic duty of establishing and honoring a budget.
Last year, President Obama presented a budget that was so incompetent that the Senate defeated his proposal by 97 to 0. Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) proposed his Path to Prosperity, which cut spending. Promptly, Obama invited Ryan to hear the President speak on the budget, where the President personally ridiculed Ryan. Intriguingly, in response to Ryan?s Path to Prosperity, President Obama then offered a second budget, which cut spending from the President?s original budget. Ultimately, America in 2011 did not have a budget. The deficit was over a trillion dollars. Unbeknownst to most young Americans, they got ?another day older and deeper in debt.?
Now it is an election year and President Obama is proposing more spending and an additional trillion dollar deficit. Obama wants more money for ?career centers? in community colleges, extending unemployment benefits, more money to k-12 education, control over interest rates on college tuition debts, more money for basic research at universities, money for clean energy, money to prevent wasting energy, money for roads and bridges, more money for the Internet, money for a financial crimes unit, and another bureaucracy to investigate risky loans and packaging of mortgages.
Additionally, President Obama wants to bailout homeowners to refinance at a lower interest rate. Admitting a previous program was unsuccessful, Obama wants to spend $10 billion more. Please know that every request by Mr. Obama is maintained by a confussing array of existing federal programs run by thousands of bureaucrats, which control billions of dollars.
Obviously in a typical election ploy, President Obama has pandered to every interest group for his re-election. Sadly, Mr. Obama insists on more money to be tranferred to large voting groups, and refuses to direct and supervise the bureaucracy. Instead of buying votes and coddling federal employees, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the United States of America should be demanding that the gigantic federal bureaucracy cut spending, initiate new priorities and save America billions of dollars.
Simultaneously, the CEO of America must seek solutions to the ever-increasing debt. In addition to Obama?s $5trillion increase, the big drivers of debt are Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. These three federal programs are 44% of the expenditures in 2012. In 2022, they will be 54% of the federal expenditures. The following is a recent report by Douglas Elmendorf the Director of Congressional Budget Office (CBO) as reported by the Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Elmendorf warned that the primary driver of the deficit later this decade would be the cost of an aging U.S. population, particularly the rising costs of government health-care programs. For example, the CBO projected the government would spend $1.6 trillion on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid in 2012, 44% of the federal budget. In 2022, the government will spend $3.0 trillion on those programs, 54% of the federal budget.
Who will ultimately pay for all of this spending? Remember Herbert Hoover, "Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt."
America needs a President and Congress which has the integrity and courage to concentrate on the debt and the drivers of debt ? Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. A few politicians have made references to the problem. Some like Ryan have made bold solutions. Legislatively and administratively nothing has been done by President Obama or Congress to reduce the debt, and, until the young people of America communicate their distain for the politicians, little will happen.
Pity the young and the unborn. [Read: http://www.freedomworks.org/blog/teda/stop-the-fiscal-war-against-our-children-now]

Earmarks in the Senate - How Your Senator Voted
Fiscal conservatives have long understood the danger of earmark spending. Rep. Jeff Flake, who spent years fighting for an earmark ban in the House of Representatives, called earmarks the ?gateway drug? to out-of-control spending because of the way that lawmakers can be enticed to vote for a controversial bill by offering them earmarks for pork-barrel project in their home state. Led by Flake, conservatives succeeded in forcing leadership to impose an earmark ban after Republicans re-took the House in 2010.
A number of fiscally conservative senators have been fighting against pork-barrel spending in the Senate as well, and yesterday, February 2nd, Sen. Pat Toomey (PA) introduced an amendment to change the Senate?s rules to ban earmarks. FreedomWorks placed a Key Vote notice on this legislation.
Unfortunately, the amendment failed, 40-59. Sen. Toomey even managed to get seven Democrats to vote for his amendment, but thirteen Republican big-spenders voted against the amendment along with 46 Democrats, absolutely ensuring the bill?s failure. See how they voted here.
The thirteen Republicans who voted to defend their ability to fund pork-barrel projects are:
Alexander (TN) ? (202) 224-4944, @SenAlexander
Blunt (MO) ? (202) 224-5721, @RoyBlunt
Cochran (MS) ? (202) 224-5054
Collins (ME) ? (202) 224-2523, @SenatorCollins

Inhofe (OK) ? (202) 224-4721, @InhofePress
Lugar (IN) ? (202) 224-4814, @senatorlugar
Murkowski (AK) ? (202) 224-6665, @lisamurkowski

Shelby (AL) ? (202) 224-5744, @SenShelbyPress
Wicker (MS) ? (202) 224-6253, @SenatorWicker
It is important that we let our Senators know that we oppose their wasteful earmarks ? they are a corrupting practice, and our country cannot afford them.

South Carolina School Choice Bill is a Win-Win
The school choice movement is rapidly gaining momentum in South Carolina. Last year, a school choice bill failed by just one vote in the South Carolina House of Representatives. A virtually identical bill, H. 4576, has been introduced this session and grassroots activists are determined to ensure that it passes. More than 350 citizens gathered in Spartanburg, South Carolina to rally for parental choice in education last night. The successful event sent a loud and resounding message to legislators: pass the school choice bill or ultimately pay a heavy price at the ballot box.
Cato Institute Scholar Andrew Coulson writes that ?if they gave out awards for good policy design...the folks in South Carolina would be top contenders for gold.? The bold legislation would boost competition, increase parental choice and save taxpayers money. It would provide tax credits of up to $500 per child to families who send their children to private schools. Unlike most existing school choice programs, these tax cuts would be extended to homeschoolers. Coulson is correct; South Carolina is leading the fight for real school choice.
Granting tax cuts to parents that opt to homeschool or send their children to private schools would be a step in the right direction. A poll by the South Carolinians for Responsible Government found that 63 percent of South Carolinians support tax credits while only 29 oppose them. Many families are struggling to afford the cost of their children's private school tuition. Taxpayers are immorally forced to pay for government schools via taxation regardless if they have a child attending the school. Lowering the tax burden on families would enable them to send their children to better schools.
The bill would provide tuition assistance to low-income families through privately-funded non-profit Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs). The size of the scholarship is determined solely by the individual SGO. The Individuals who donate to SGOs will receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to 100 percent of their tax liability and corporations that donate may receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to 60 percent of their tax liability. These donation tax credits will encourage people to contribute to a good cause of helping low-income families pay for good quality private schools.
Education tax credits will help students escape failing South Carolina public schools. The disturbing statistics show just how bad South Carolina public schools are right now. During the 2010-11 academic year, a whopping 76 percent of South Carolina public schools (831 out of 1,037) failed to make adequate yearly process. South Carolina has consistently ranked in the bottom ten states on 4th grade reading. Only 58.6 percent of South Carolina high school students graduate on time, according to Education Week. The South Carolina Policy Council found that the state has the lowest SAT scores in the south.
The one-size-fits-all education model has failed children in South Carolina. Public schools in the Palmetto State are not preparing students to compete on a national scale. Education spending has skyrocketed but academic achievement and parental satisfaction remains low. It?s time to implement new, bold solutions to shake up the education status quo. After many years of attempting to pass a school choice bill in South Carolina, there's a very good chance that this will be the year that we finally achieve victory. We know that our over 20,000 FreedomWorks members in the great state of South Carolina are willing to stand up to the special interests that are blocking parental choice in education.

The Lean Forward Files: ?Our Differences Are What Unite Us?? Huh?
?To lean forward is to think bigger, listen closer, fight smarter, and act faster.? ? MSNBC.com
Substantively, what does this quote mean? What message is MSNBC trying to put out with its two-year, multimillion dollar self-branding campaign to ?lean forward?? The definition provided is a jumbled mix of vague and essentially meaningless platitudes. The murky, nebulous slogan itself is clearly just meant to be memorable and hopefully catchy. The viewer must examine the content of the commercials in order to discern what is actually at the heart of this campaign.
Although there are a few feel-good, uncontroversial broadcasts included in the advertising blitz, the bulk of the commercials are spent putting forward a progressive political agenda. Phil Griffin, the chief executive of MSNBC, has been quoted as saying, ?MSNBC has established a sensibility, a position, a platform,? and that, ?MSNBC is really the place to go for progressives.?
"Declaration of Forward?
The ?lean forward? campaign strongly supports this assertion. The progressive message underlying them all fundamentally differs from conservative arguments. In the initial commercial ?Declaration of Forward?, MSNBC claims that we are the ?United States of Come-As-You-Are? and that, ?our differences are what unite us.? This simply isn?t true. Our differences may make America unique or even beautiful, but what unites us as Americans are our shared principles. It?s troubling to see the progressive network co-opt the name and language of the Declaration of Independence in the ?Declaration of Forward? commercial without recognizing that it is the principles laid out in that very document that weave us together as one people.
?Do Their Part?
Hardball host Chris Matthews appears in an interesting ad spot called ?Do Their Part?. In it, Matthews says, ?I think one of the problems of the country is that we?ve all been basically excused,? through tax cuts or allowing others to serve in the military. He?s pushing a theme of civic responsibility, but it?s more than a little bit hypocritical since he himself did not serve. Regardless, he argues that Americans must ?do their part in this country, including paying fair taxes.? This doubtlessly refers to the progressive outcry over income inequality and ?tax breaks for the rich? that I?ve mentioned in an earlier blog post.
However, looking at the numbers from 2009, the top 1% of earners paid 36.73% of income taxes. The top 10% of earners paid 70.47% of income taxes, and the bottom 50% of earners contributed only 2.25% of income taxes. In fact, the bottom 47% of earners paid no income taxes whatsoever, which is an oft-disputed statistic that PolitiFact.com has verified.
What percentage would Chris Matthews consider a ?fair share?? Should the top 10% of earners pay 90% of all income taxes? How about 100%? Shouldn?t 47% of Americans contribute something in order to do their fair share? Matthews? implicit claim that wealthy Americans aren?t paying enough in taxes only makes sense if you believe that the federal government has a revenue problem, not a spending problem.
?As Much An American?
That isn?t the only mildly ridiculous ?Lean Forward? commercial featuring Matthews, though. He also appears in ?As Much an American?, in which he slams Republican candidates for not admitting that the president is, as the title indicates, as much of an American as they are. For one thing, who?s saying that Obama isn?t? Is it really fair to demand in a commercial that the Republican candidates say something, and then blast them in the same commercial for not saying it yet? How are they supposed to respond to that?
Besides, wouldn?t this be a more appropriate demand to make of them in an interview? After all, Matthews does host a political television show, so this wouldn?t be particularly difficult for him to set up. The fact is that he wanted to take a cheap shot at the Republican field of candidates and he picked the most unfair format through which to do it.
?Blueberry Pie?
Perhaps the most famous of the ?Lean Forward? commercials released so far would be Reverend Al Sharpton?s ?Blueberry Pie? commercial. The near-incoherent, rambling story told by Sharpton was quickly parodied on Saturday Night Live. Even a blog post on the famously liberal Huffington Post website admitted that it?s ?pretty wacky.?Still, of the many advertisements in MSNBC?s branding campaign, this one may have the most truth to it beneath the silliness.
Sharpton?s point is simply that the Bush-era Republican party made a mess of governing through deficit spending, bailouts, and expanding entitlement programs, and now Republicans are denouncing the Democrats for doing the same things. In other words, Republicans engorged themselves on the taxpayer-funded blueberry pie, and now they?re hypocritically attacking Democrats for feeding off of the same diner table.
Here?s what he doesn?t understand, though: The Republican party has undergone a major transformation after what amounts to a takeover by the Tea Party. Republicans who paid lip service to fiscal conservatism for decades while wasting tremendous amounts of cash are getting kicked out of office all over the country, and their replacements are serious when they talk about a return to limited, Constitutional government.
Put simply, Sharpton?s criticism is fair, but doesn?t apply to a new class of representatives who are on the frontlines in criticizing the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress for continuing and magnifying the policies of deficit spending, bailouts, and government expansion. The Tea Party is forcing Republicans away from the blueberry pie, but Democrats are asking for seconds, if not thirds.
The massive success of Fox News, a network that makes little effort to disguise its conservative leanings, has clearly influenced MSNBC to embrace its progressive identity in an obvious effort to boost ratings and viewership. The ?Lean Forward? advertising campaign is, at its heart, polished gimmickry.

350 Citizens Rally for Parental Choice in South Carolina
Last night more than 350 citizens of Spartanburg, South Carolina rallied for parental choice in education. FreedomWorks joined the Spartanburg tea party for this fantastic event that drove a very clear message home: legislators should support parental choice in education or they will be replaced by the citizenry.
Check out this great article in the Spartanburg newspaper this morning. Here is an exerpt.
More than 350 activists and community members gathered in Spartanburg?s Cleveland Park Thursday night to deliver a unified message to lawmakers about what was described as the state?s oppressive educational establishment: pass a bill through the General Assembly providing tax credits for families who send their children to private schools, or pay the price at the ballot box.
?Our kids are stuck in a failing system,? said David Spielman, campaigns coordinator for FreedomWorks. ?Our kids in South Carolina, you know the whole joke goes, ?Well, we?re not Mississippi.? We need to inject competition into the system; it?s just that simple.?
FreedomWorks, a nonprofit group that advocates for less government and lower taxes, anticipates it will spend between $500,000 and $1 million in the Palmetto State this year trying to get a tax credits for private school bill passed. Such bills have failed to win state lawmakers? approval since first being introduced in 2004, which supporters blame on entrenched interests.
