Were hearing that the Tea Party is dying away. Dont believe it. The Tea Party wants what We the People and real conservatives want not what Republicans in Name Only (RINOS) or Democrats are doing.

Those multi-term career politicians dont care what the people want. Its about themselves and their power over us. However, most of the newly elected legislators are Tea Party candidates who take their oaths of office seriously and believe that the US Constitution is the Law of the Land.

The Tea Party, these new legislators, and a few others are listening to the American majority and want to: 1) stop bailouts, 2) reduce size and intrusiveness of Government, 3) lower, NOT raise taxes, 4) repeal/replace Obamacare, 5) cease out-of-control spending, 6) bring back American prosperity by securing our borders, saving American jobs from illegals, etc. (Open borders and amnesty benefit large companies wanting cheap labor and Democrats who want more voters). Conservatives supposedly share those same Tea Party goals, plus: 1) strong national defense, 2) inviolability of our Constitution, 3) right to bear arms, 4) value of every human life, 5) freedom of speech, 6) freedom of religion, and 7) importance of the family as the fundamental building block in our society.

These conservatives goals, although quite admirable, are useless if only on paper and not being pursued. Its mostly lip service as they do whatever.

On the other hand, the Tea Party and their newly elected legislators, have to fight RINOS, political business as usual and the administration, in attempting to achieve any of these much needed endeavors.

The Boston Tea Party saved us once and hopefully now the Tea Party along with freedom-loving Americans can save our country once again, this time from our own self-serving government. God Bless America!

YOUR VIEWS: What about the Tea Party?

A man holds up a tea kettle during an Atlanta Tea Party tax protest in April 2009.

It was February of 2009. President Obama had been in office less than a full month. His approval rating was over 60 and nearly 60% of the House and Senate seats were held by Democrats. The country seem poised on the edge of a new era, perhaps even another New Deal.

Not a few mainstream Republicans believed their party needed to do some serious soul-searching, house-cleaning and image-adjusting. A task force at the Republican National Committee was hard at work on just such a set of recommendations.

But there was another spirit in the land as well. In Washington state, which had easily gone for the Democrats in November, travelers on Interstate 5 could see a huge billboard reading: "Give me God, guns and gold and you can keep the change." The reference to Obama's 2008 "hope and change" theme could not have been clearer.

That same spirit of determined pushback was evident in plenty of other places, coast to coast, and it got more visible as the weeks went by.

Before Obama had been in office for a month, much of the nation saw an astonishing meltdown by cable TV personality Rick Santelli, an investment analyst on business news network CNBC.

For close to three minutes, Santelli harangued the live host and other on-air contributors with a fiery denunciation of the Obama plan to help homeowners whose property was worth less than its mortgage.

Santelli referred to "paying losers' mortgages" and strongly implied the program beneficiaries had no one but themselves to blame for their situation.

But then he uttered the magic phrase that altered the course of politics, if not history, on that chilly morning: "We're thinking about having a Chicago tea party in July," he shouted. "All you capitalists that wanna show up to Lake Michigan. I'm gonna start organizing."

6 Years Ago At CPAC Meeting, The Tea Party Movement Ignited

There will be glad rags galore a Sanctuary care home in Worcester, as residents and staff welcome all to a vintage "Time for a Cuppa" tea party.

The event will take place on Tuesday March 3, between 10am and 4pm.

People from the local community will be invited along to the residential care home in School Road, St John's, to enjoy for a fundraising tea party for Dementia UK.

The homes activities leader Bridie Gray said: The team and our residents love an excuse to get their glad rags on to support a good cause, so we thought a vintage themed Time for a Cuppa event would be perfect way to raise money for Dementia UK.

Our chef will be baking some delicious treats, so we would love to see some new and familiar faces at our event to support our fundraising efforts.

Staff will be dressed from top to toe in their fabulous 1950s finery, with polka dot dresses and neckerchiefs galore.

There will be vintage crockery and bunting plus an abundance of mouth-watering cakes in return for a donation to the charity.

Between 11am and noon singer John Estelle will be entertaining the residents and guests with music from the era.

Time for a Cuppa is Dementia UKs annual fundraising event; a national day which brings people together over a cuppa to raise money for the provision of Admiral Nurses, specialist dementia nurses who provide care, advice and support to the loved ones of people living with dementia.

Amy Cudmore, Community Fundraiser at Dementia UK said: There are currently 140 Admiral Nurses in the UK to support families living with the effects of dementia, which simply isnt enough. Dementia UK is striving to increase the number of Admiral Nurses by 50 per cent, by the end of 2016, to support the growing number of families affected by dementia.

Glad rags, tea and memories at care home

Establishment favourites like Jeb Bush will be testing their messages while Tea Party rabble rousers like Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin will be rehearsing their best applause lines. Nigel Farage, the UKIP leader, will also be making a guest appearance.

Who isnt going?

Now that his presidency-seeking days are over, Mitt Romney, never a hit with the grassroots, probably relished checking No on his invitation. The top two Congressional Republicans, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, have also declined. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, as two figures the Right most loves to hate, will certainly be coming up in conversation.

Whats on the agenda?

In addition to bashing the aforementioned Democrats, the speakers will tout their pro-gun, anti-abortion bona fides.

More divisive will be immigration, with relative moderates like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio flouting the party line. Gay marriage is increasingly accepted by the country at large but still riles up the conservative base, and on defence Rand Paul, the libertarian with isolationist instincts, may take some flak from his more hawkish rivals.

Why is Nigel going?

To commune with kindred conservative spirits and to get some international exposure before his own party conference, which opens in Margate on Friday. Mr Farage shares the small-government ideology of libertarians like Mr Paul, although he admits he is less sure footed with the Evangelical Christian crowd.

His message to groups like the Tea Party will be that UKIPs surge in Britain is a sign that they will not have to remain on the fringe forever.
