Living in California, I very often feel as if I'm the only one who is concerned about our current government and who strongly defends the Constitution in the spirit and intent with which it was written. However, it appears from the recent Primaries that Americans are making their voices heard about the way this country is being managed by our government. Virtually every race was not divided along party lines nearly as much as along how the incumbents supported or opposed legislation over the past 1-1/2 years.
As of now, our democratic process seems alive and well with a united voice showing displeasure over uncontrolled spending and invasive government. What we saw in the Primaries is essentially the heart and soul of the Tea Party Movement.
As I stated before, the Tea Party is not about Republican, Democrat, or any other party line - it's about fiscal responsibility, government limitation, and freedom of the states to govern their areas. This is why they chose the "Tea Party" as their battle cry...their displeasure mirrors the early settlers' concerns about governments (not ours at that time, but rather the British).
