There is a political movement seen so differently by commentators - depending on their political affiliation - that it's hard to go by just what you hear. To get the real Tea Party News, you need a computer or at least access to one. Dedicated websites are the most complete and reliable sources of information. Still, these need to be read with discernment as well.
On the surface, the Tea Party (TP) is a grassroots movement of citizens who feel unrepresented by the current government in the US. They are conservative in viewpoint on almost all political issues, especially about free markets, national defense, secure borders, and the economy. The TP is a loose organization of local groups with a central body mostly devoted to fund raising for specific candidates, presenting petitions on priority issues, and raising public awareness.
Even the start of this political entity is obscure. Ron Paul's presidential campaign is taken by some to be the beginning. Others trace it to blogs that called on people to let Congress know of dissatisfaction by sending a tea bag to representatives. This was to send a message that taxes were too high, money was being wasted, and liberties were being suppressed. The organization is celebrating its 5-year anniversary in 2014, which sets it's birth in 2009.
Considered by some moderate Republicans to be a third-party threat to conservative solidarity, the TP faces a lot of opposition from Republicans and Democrats alike. Some opponents call the movement racist, secret-agenda driven, and not truly grassroots at all. The popular view is that the movement will fade away. However, it seems remarkably valid, resilient, and enduring to many, especially true fiscal conservatives.
It's easy to find source material by going online to TPNN (TP News Network) and signing up for email bulletins, reading recent reports, and tracking local and national events. There are other dedicated websites, as well as local groups. Each local group may have its own particular focus, which some see as strength for the entire movement and others see as chaotic.
A lot of current coverage concern alleged IRS targeting of TP-affiliated groups for special scrutiny, delays in granting tax-exempt status, and denial of applications. Although the administration and the President have dismissed the allegations, Congress is taking them more seriously and trying to get answers to specific questions. Continuing failure to get the facts for whatever reason - some say accidental loss of documents and others say deliberate refusal to cooperate - has kept the issue in the national headlines.
Knowing the absolute truth may be impossible in this political climate, but it is still important to be as informed as possible. Using the internet to follow candidates, read alternative news coverage, and see what the mainstream fails to report can help form opinions that can shape voting and influence the national direction. It's no time to be lazy; action is required of all citizens at this critical time.
If you have a computer, go online and find out what's happening. If you don't, the local library and community college will have ones for the public to use. There is no way to stress the importance of everyone being politically savvy in these troubling times.
