Good Guy of the Week - The Tea Party

While demonized as racists and extremists, Tea Party-ers are normal people who are fed up with what big government is doing to our country and are willing to stand up against it. They are, quite literally, supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America. Someone needs to do it!

Here are the 10 core beliefs of the Tea Party:

1. Eliminate excessive taxes.

2. Eliminate the national debt.

3. Eliminate deficit spending.

4. Protect free markets.

5. Abide by the Constitution of the United States.

6. Promote civic responsibility.

7. Reduce the overall size of government.

8. Believe in the people.

9. Avoid the pitfalls of politics.

10. Maintain local independence.

Sounds sort of like the ideas that the Founding Fathers had... Imagine that.
