The American Tea Party

Firstly some might ask what is a 'Tea Party' and well this website allows you to explore into its meaning, in that tea parties were set up to help the people of America get their views and opinions across if they are not happy or satisified with the way the politicians are running the country. Furthermore, by joining a 'Tea Party' it also allows a large volume of people to come together and protest for what they think is right or in this case what they think is wrong with the way the president and other political candidates are trying to solve particular issue or get their points across.

In addition this website has various links you can click on including one thats titled "A message from the President" and on this webpage it displays different questions that people may ask about the way the country is going such as; "Are you sick of not being heard by your leadership?" and "Do you feel as though your very freedom is slowly slipping away?" therefore these questions touch upon some of America's key values and so it is no wonder that several 'Tea Parties' are being organized when the people of America are questioning some of the founding key factors that make America different from other countries around the world. It is also these reasons that American's are very passionate about bringing change to their country that will have a positive effect because it is evident that they are disappointed and want to get back on their feet: "We are active America. We are real and we are going to change the landscape. We are bringing honesty, integrity and morality back to American politics."

The Tea Party of America also have a link that reveals their mission statement: "Restore America to its once revered and respected state.Support and defend the Constitution of The United States of America and its laws.Bring respect and honor back to our Government through the election process.Always remember and respect that “Freedom isn’t Free.”Respect and honor the Patriots.Maintain an organization for all Patriots and not the agenda of any one individual or special interest group." and directly under this there is a quote from Thomas Jefferson that just about sums up what the people of America are feeling and this is why they have the mission statement they do.

Therefore, it is clear to see that the citizens of America are very annoyed and angry with the way the country is being run and so to go about creating a positive change they have recognised that they need to come together as one in order to have the type of government they want and not the government they have.
