The Tea Party Road Map

By Talk American Guest Writer - Lisa Miller


In the September issue of the "New Guard", Congressman Paul Ryan mapped out his plan to reclaim the American Idea. As a Tea Party leader it was necessary to respond with an alternative Tea Party Roadmap.

I urge careful consideration as a complete reversal may cost more lives that it might have saved at Fort Hood. I have a recommendation that might help arguments on both sides.
