The politicians and the media have already disrupted the intent of the Tea Party. This movement was meant to oppose overspending, government bureaucracy and expansion. Even Fox, Palin, and the Nashville event coordinators got it wrong, not to mention the rest of the media and political pundits.
There's plenty of time, keep the faith. I believe the movement's not necessarily Republican or Democrat, more Independents and just concerned citizens.
The whole "grassroots" tea party thing was just a Fox News-sponsored, Republican-founded neocon circle jerk to begin with.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
