Based on the first reactions on facebook, about 50% of the persons sees a problem with the current Tea Party association. If I would criticize ourselves, I think we have indeed too few attention for the original Boston Tea Party.
This is our current text:
"TEA PARTY CHOOSES PAUL
The Tea Party represents a shift in America's mindset toward fiscal responsibility. We are opposed to any candidate who supported TARP or the bailouts that have plagued America's economy. We stand against the Federal Reserve and the trillions of dollars they have loaned to foreign banks, causing massive inflation across the globe.
We, the Tea Party, stand behind the only candidate who predicted the housing collapse - Congressman Ron Paul. If you are a Tea Party member, it is up to you to make Ron Paul YOUR President!
TEA PARTY HISTORY
Who really started the modern Tea Party movement in America? There are many who will claim that the Tea Party was established in 2009; however, the Ron Paul grassroots started this nationwide brushfire leading up to December 16th, 2007 when we raised $6 million dollars in a single day for Ron Paul"
I really think we have to improve this text! One of my earlier suggestions (about ten pages back) was to at least mention Ron Paul is regarded as the intellectual father of the Modern Tea Party. I still think that's a good idea to add.
However, more important our text totally lacks mention of the Tea Party of 1773... I think we should add it into the website text as well. I'm not the best writer, but I do believe the current text should be tweaked a bit!
