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. The most challenging task is to confront our ballooning and unsustainable entitlements and other usurped government spending from State and local governments, commerce, charity and the individual.


Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid grew to an unsustainable level through the legislature’s lack of prudent fiscal responsiveness to increased life spans and political pressures that expanded care under Medicare and Medicaid without regard to the costs. I submit these programs should never have been anything more than minimal fully portable safety net protections executed through private products. The conflict arose when the government decided to run these programs.

Questions President Obama SHOULD be Asked

By Jamie Walker Kirkland, WA

Anyone that’s ever been in or around politics knows that candidates have to answer a lot of questionnaires.

Additionally, there are probing questions that in some cases the media has a responsibility to ask on behalf of the public whose interest they are charged with representing and reporting.

But when it comes to the Office of the President, and specifically this one, there are a number of questions that the American public has no idea what he thinks or how he would respond. And regrettably, the media has ostensibly surrendered its role to be the investigative agent of the public.

So, as a start, here are a just a few questions that “We the People,” would like to know the answers to:

1. Which of the Founding Fathers do you admire, and why?

2. Why have you sealed all the records of your past? What does this say about you?

3. Why did you feel obligated to go around the world apologizing for what you perceive to be the sins of America’s past?
