The tea party movement, sometimes called Tea Party Nation, is
essentially a big-tent organization that has not directly
concerned itself with the major social issues, such as abortion,
gun control, or gay rights that have fractured the body politic.
Their sole focus has been on freedom, lower taxes, and less
government. Yet the fact that their goals would indirectly affect
all of the social issues has not been lost on their supporters.
The tea partiers come from all over America, waving their tea
bags in protest. They come from Main St. not Wall St. and share
a common anger and distrust of the government that stems from
its plans to dismantle the country’s constitutional basis. They
are as diverse as America with black, white, Hispanic and many
naturalized citizens. Their numbers include Glenn Beck fans,
Rush Limbaugh dittos-heads, disaffected Republicans,
Democrats, as well as scores of libertarians, constitutionalists
and independents, united in their common purpose against the
tyranny of government.

The seminal event in the tea party’s history was Texas
Congressman Ron Paul’s celebration of the 234th
anniversary of the original tea party on December 16,
2007 on the steps of the Boston State House during his
campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. Born
and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Paul graduated from
Gettysburg College and the Duke University School of Medicine.
He and his wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began
his medical practice as a specialist in obstetrics/ gynecology,
having delivered over 4,000 babies during the course of his career.
After being elected to Congress, Dr. Paul served on the House
Banking Committee during the late 1970’s and early 1980’s,
where he was a strong advocate for sound monetary policy and
an outspoken critic of the Federal Reserve's inflationary
measures. An unwavering advocate of pro-life and pro-family
values, Paul has consistently voted to lower federal taxes,
spending, and regulations. He tirelessly argued for the return
of government to its proper constitutional role. His conservative
voting record prompted one colleague to say that he
pe r soni f i e s the Founding Fathe r s ' ideal of the
c i t i z en- s tat e sman.
After a 12-year hiatus, Dr. Paul returned to Congress in 1997,
and has remained unwavering in his advocacy of reducing the
size of government and reforming the nation’s fiscal and
monetary policies. His 2009 book, End the Fed, boldly calls for
the Federal Reserve dissolution. His ideas for limited
constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return
to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed
currency have made the 74-year old Paul the avatar of the tea
party movement.
