Rick Santelli's Chicago Tea Party

Tea Party Poll Posted: 19 Jun 2009 01:56 PM PDT People often ask, “What’s the point of the tea parties?” “What are you trying to accomplish?”  “What are your goals?”  To provide answers to these critical questions, perhaps it would be beneficial to create a basic poll.  Here’s a list of potential objectives for Tea Party protestors.  List your top five: Balance the federal budget Lower taxes across the board Increase state sovereignty in political, economic, and social issues Institute constitutional term limits in Congress Decrease federal spending Borrow less money from foreign powers such as China, Russia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, etc. Make Congress cite chapter & verse in the Constitution when passing bills End all federal bailouts Increase ballot access for Independent & Third Party candidates Increase the value of our Dollar Throw out every single candidate, regardless of party affiliation, who voted for any of the federal bailouts Increase transparency & accountability at the Federal Reserve Reform the entire tax code Elect Washington outsiders in upcoming elections Start paying down the national debt Throw out big government & big spending incumbents, regardless of party affiliation Make Congress read the bills before they actually vote Build the foundation for a new, third party Start running for political office ourselves This list is by no means exhaustive, and there is some degree of overlap between the various categories, but it serves as a good starting point.  What are your Tea Party’s top five objectives?
