Enraged to engaged: Tea party backers explain why

More than ANYTHING else, education about the foundations of our great nation holds the key! My Grand-daughter told me yesterday she's now a freshman in HS, and has yet to study a drop of American History. She says she can't wait til' next year when she does. I told her the second she has her History textbook - let me have it for a weekend....then we'll discover the TRUTH together....FRESHMAN in HS before ANY American History taught.....

Enraged to engaged: Tea party backers explain why:

Bill Warner is hardly a naive man. He ran his own engineering firm for three decades, and sold the assets just before the economy tanked. He built his dream home on a majestic hill abutting a national park, back when the housing market was steady. While some neighbors have since been foreclosed upon, Warner is resurfacing his flagstone deck.

And so he understands that in the world of politics, his little group—the Lincoln Club of the Morongo Basin—is but a molecule in the figurative drop in the bucket of power and influence.

Its stated purpose is 'to promote, educate and advance conservative principles of fiscal responsibility, small limited government, free enterprise, the rule of law, private property rights, and the preservation and protection of individual liberty.' The organization has some 25 members and has raised $10,000.

'It's our way of doing what we can do,' he says."
