Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
RESPECT - We got a little bit, Baby!
Last night CNN hosted the first ever Tea Party debate with Tea Party Express and more than 150 tea party groups across the country.
It was a historic night and the Tea Party Movement was given the respect it deserves. The staff at CNN did an excellent job! The people behind the scenes who help those in front of the screens were professional, supportive and patriotic. Those in front of the screen were too and willingly gave the tea party the microphone for the day.
Tea Party Express has spent nearly a year working with CNN on this debate. The Florida Tea Party Group leaders helped fill the seats with Florida Tea Party Members. Tea Party Express never took center stage and instead gave the applause to individual tea party groups nationwide. Tea Party Express has proven their heart to the tea party groups and earned our respect for their hard work.
The candidates made sure they shook hands with attendees afterwards in the debate hall and at the After Debate Party. From the conversations at the party, it appears there was no clear front runner but two were crossed off the list. Huntsman came across as an elite politician and Ron Paul went over the top with blaming America for the 9/11 tragedy. There will still be the strong Ron Paul supporters who will argue that point – but the tea party members have had enough with Mr. Paul.
Rick Perry took a beating for some of his policies and admitted he made some mistakes along the way. Mitt still will not admit he was wrong about Romneycare. The tea party is strong on wanting that apology but it seems we will not get it. Santorum had a great moment when he called out Ron Paul on his 9/11 stance. Cain plays the “Godfather” role well and the audience loves his answers. Newt's one ling zingers are always fun. Michelle knew more about Obamacare than anyone else on the stage and is adamant about repealing it in 2012. The tea party stands with her on that issue.
We will be packing up and heading home today. My feet hurt and we are exhausted. But the good outweighs the bad. We are proud of last night. We hope America and those who called us names we did not deserve, saw who “we the tea” really are. We are America and we are proud to be a part of this movement. We will continue to stay together and work together to unseat President Obama and many of his far left friends in Congress. It is our time now and we will not rest until America is returned to her Constitutional footing once again.
Thank you CNN, Tea Party Express, all the candidates and the tea party members from Florida and across the country. Respect was the word of the night and it felt good to feel that again. We will be singing this all the way home today and we hope you will join us in a chorus across America. Respect.
God bless and safe travels.

It was good to see some familiar faces on national TV! And to have Ted Wendler start the program off with the 1st question! We picked out Hank Madden, Billie, Gayla Reed, Lynne Holicky, Lu, and of course the Express crew. Good Stuff, FCTP! We're all proud of you!

Three are three items I would like to see the Tea Party start pushing the Candidates for an answer to: 1) What are their positions on Gun Rights and the 2nd amendment, 2) Are they aware of Agenda 21/ United Nations/ United States connection and how it is infiltrating into all aspects of American's lives: energy, water, food and loss of individual freedom. If not why not, what are they going to do to change it! 3) We they follow the letter of the Constitutional law?

Last night may have not been a home run, but how many times in history has an organization risen from birth to prime time television in just over two years? This was a major plus in the column of the Tea Party, it's members, and all American citizens that so love this country. "We The People" have gotten our NOSE under the edge of the tent. It was an amazing evening, one I will never forget. Hopefully, this story will be told to my great-grandchildren in the context of "We almost lost our freedom, you must keep watch now."
Thank you Billie and everyone else that put in the "volunteer" time to both enable and empower the voice of the people.

@ Mr Sisson
I like your idea. Ask a question and let everyone have a chance to answer it before you move on. I'm not saying give them unlimited time still have a time limit (which I would have at say two or three minutes instead of one) but give all of them time to answer one question at a time. I don't really like Rick Santorum or Huntsman but they should all be given equal amounts of time to voice their opinions. I do think this debate was a lot better then the rest of them have been on this point but still not very good.

Many of the questions, as rephrased by Wolfe, came from the liberal "perspective." ex... would you throw grandma out in the snow and how far?
How about in the next debate someone ask each candidate, "How would you restore our representative republic?" "How will you reverse the avalanche of regulations pouring out of every deptarment and agency?" "How will you minimize the over-reaching power of the Fedaral government?" "How will you secure our borders?" Then give each candidate time to answer fully, even if only two questions are addressed in the entire debate.

@Phyl Kimball
I'm watching the video now it is some pretty amazing stuff. My guess is that most people are not going to watch it, especially when they see it is Alex Jones doing the interview. Most people are scared to even start learning about something that might go against their viewpoint. I'm not sure if it is out of fear or what but the idea that 9/11 might be an inside job scares people to death because we don't want to even think that the people in power would do something like that. I know because I was one of those people at one time. I'm still not 100% convinced it was an inside job but I am convinced there are a ton of unanswered questions and, at best, a questionable job was done with the investigation. Thanks for the video I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
