From Brendan Farrington of The Associated Press on March 23:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. –- If you thought Tea Party activists were mad before, you ain't seen nothing yet.Instead of being discouraged by passage of health care reform, tea party activists across the country say the defeat is a rallying cry that makes them more focused than ever on voting out any lawmaker who supported the measure."We're not going to stop. Obviously, the whole tea party movement started because we're about smaller government and less spending and less taxes. There is absolutely no way we can pay for this," said Denise Cattoni, state coordinator for Illinois Tea Party, an umbrella group for about 50 groups from around Illinois.Cattoni says the health care defeat doesn't deflate tea party activists. "We couldn't stop it because of the shenanigans that went on in Washington," Cattoni said. "People are definitely more driven today than they were yesterday without a doubt."

I know that I am. I am more determined than ever to get rid of these people and get back to a limited government as the founders intended.
I think the Obamacare has given our ideas more of a voice in American politics. The teabaggers and conservatives alike are outraged, but I wish the media would cover it more.
