If the midterm elections were a declaration of war on the status quo, Rand Paul leads the battle charge. Voters fearful of growing government and debt have found voice in the Tea Party phenomenon and the movement continues to deliver a message that Washington, D.C. has found impossible to ignore.
In THE TEA PARTY GOES TO WASHINGTON, the newly elected senator and self-described "constitutional conservative" explains why his party has to stand by its limited government rhetoric and why the federal government must be stuffed back into its constitutional box. Given the problems our nation faces, these are not mere suggestions, but moral imperatives.
Rand Paul and those who voted for him want to stop borrowing, end the bailouts, and entitlements and the spending. In THE TEA PARTY GOES TO WASHINGTON you'll learn:
  • The history of the Tea Party and why it isn't "extreme"
  • How both parties operate outside the Constitution
  • Rand's plan for a balanced budget
  • Why the Tea Party will endure
    • Now is the time to get America back on track— this is the moment of the new revolution that will take us back to our grass roots, to the country of our founding fathers.
    It's a new day in Washington— as the Tea Party graduates from populist outrage to political influence, Rand Paul stands poised to become one of its greatest champions.

        Kentucky ophthalmologist and now Republican Senator Rand Paul presents a cogent, if dry, autobiography. He then expounds upon constitutional conservatism as expressed in the "open-mike" environment of the Tea Party. That populist party has evolved into a viable source of thought-provoking and sometimes quite successful political candidates. While the book provides a history of the Tea Party movement and why it may endure, Ric Reitz's reading is pedestrian, awkwardly phrased, and less than engaging. His tone does not vary throughout, and he provides no vocal characterizations. Still, libertarians and those who are interested in the movement will find the author's thoughtful and well-researched ideas expansive and enlightening. W.A.G. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
