It has been 10 years since more than 1 million grassroots activists from all over the country gathered in Washington, D.C., on the National Mall to protest against reckless spending, bailouts, and a government takeover of healthcare. The Taxpayer March on Washington, as it came to be called, was a flashpoint that defined the political process. Now, in the next year, the conservative grassroots are set to define the issues for the next decade.
Days after the 2016 election, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., suggested that there might be "some sort of actual Tea Party of the Left." Plans were immediately set in motion to formalize his concept.
Proponents of the Women’s March and other protests that have broken out in various city centers and airport terminals across the country often compare themselves to the Tea Party movement.
The GOP establishment just set a new low by mimicking race card antics of left-wing activists like Al Sharpton in a desperate attempt to have Senator Thad Cochran defeat challenger Chris McDaniel in today’s Mississippi primary.
FreedomWorks Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council, Tea Party Patriots and Committee to Unleash Prosperity in partnership with a coalition of conservative organizations and prominent individuals, launched the Save Our Country Task Force.
