Good question.

The battle we are in is an intellectual & moral. The anti-reason, statist education system needs to be exposured. This envious gang hate the good for being good--therefore they hate America, their benefactor. This crowd has had free reign for long enough!

The Tea Party Movement needs to be more positive rather than just against. The movement should focus on principles almost everyone in the country can become passionate about: individual freedom, liberty and capitialism.

Avoid issues that divide people in the movement and that emphasize the negative--especially the social issues--anti-abortion, anti-immigration, prayer in public schools, etc. These issues will split conservatives, libertarians and independents. The most direct way to gain political influence will be to attempt to reform the Republican Party. If not, the movement will not need them if they stick with the core principles all can agree without compromise.
