ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As activists across the country hold national tea parties, Campaign for Liberty president John Tate issued the following statement:

“The concept of the modern day Tea Party began on December 16, 2007 when supporters of Ron Paul’s presidential campaign came together and raised over $6 million online in one day. The tremendous success of that event lead activists in the freedom movement and members of the Campaign for Liberty to begin planning today’s Tax Day Tea Parties.

“Success always brings company, and it is very positive that so many conservatives, libertarians, Republicans, constitutionalists and even progressives have come together and joined our efforts. All Americans who are sincere about cutting out of control government spending are welcome to stand with Dr. Paul and the Campaign for Liberty as we fight to take our country back.”

That's good. It isn't like one of those RP purists on here complaining that neocons are actually fighting for lower taxes and less government.

The complaints come from those who know that the newcomers simply don't care about smaller government, they just care that they aren't in charge anymore. Further, these nincompoops will be treated by the MSM as representative of our cause, just as the fringes of our cause were used in the primaries. The picture that is painted of us doesn't hold as much weight when Hannity or Joe the Plumber are front and center.

I'm glad to hear that Tate is embracing the growth of our message of limited government :)
