Hey all, looks like I am going to be able to interview a Tea Party organizer from Florida. Not sure when, but soon. What I need though, is input from our readers as to what you would like to see asked. Of course, I know the topics I want to cover, but as always I believe that two heads are better than one…or in this case, many, many heads. So let me know what you think, what you’d like to hear because I am open to all suggestions. I will work the best ones in on my interview, which I will post both here and on my personal blog.
Be creative and thoughtful!

I believe that future generations should have the same opportunities that myself, and those that came before me, had. My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. I don’t want to have to tell my daughter, “You can do whatever the government tells you to do.” We are at a crossroads in this country; are we going to be free, or are we going to be slaves to the nanny state. I choose freedom.Comments
Consider asking a question to verify that the Tea Party movement does not promote starting a third party -or- promoting third party candidates.
That’s my fear…splitting the conservative vote.
I agree with The Conservative Lady. I think the Tea Party is already doing a fine job of forcing the Republican party to go back to it’s conservative roots. I’m nervous that a 3rd party candidate might emerge in certain elections if there is a candidate running for Congress whose platform may be 90% in tune with the local tea party but not 100%. In my opinion, the most conservative candidate needs to be chosen in a primary. If the most conservative candidate does not win the primary, but someone who is almost as conservative does win, I think we then need to support that candidate who we agree with on 90% of the issues instead of splitting the vote and ensuring that the liberal Democrat wins. The fighting between conservatives needs to be done in a primary, not in an election.
With that said, if the Republican candidate is just as liberal as the Democrat, like what happened in the NY 23rd special election, then I think a 3rd party candidate would be ok. But only in that specific situation when the Republican candidate is no where close to being a conservative.
Here is another question to ask — What is the Tea Parties position on the new liberal Coffee party? Could we possibly see a Tea Party vs. Coffee Party debate in some localities?
