The Tea Party movement must bring meaningful and tangible deliverables from all this effort and protest. Saying we don’t like what they are doing and demanding fiscal prudence is important, but ultimately it is short term thinking. We need the power that is building in the Tea Party movement to have lasting meaning.

I for one believe the following are a part of what we are all after:

1. Voting out all House and Senator Members who have had more than two terms, and/or voted for the tax increases and bloated budgets of Obama. No one should be spared in 2010 and 2012.

2. Seek to elect congressmen who believe in low taxes and small government, and are willing to solve the problems we are facing with meaningful legislation once elected.

3. Vote for and approve the Fairfax legislation. This will give States and the People more power by pay taxes only when we consume, abolishes the IRS, and would stimulate the economy at a level never seen before. http://www.fairtax.org

4. Vote into law term limits for all members of the House and Senate. 2 terms maximum for life.

5. Vote into law that Congress must maintain a balanced budget except in time of war. After War is over, then the budget must be back in balance within 5 years.

6. Finally, and most importantly, vote in a new Constitutional Amendment(s) containing items 3, 4 and 5 so it will be very difficult to remove by future congressmen or the President.

These are simple steps that will ensure our national government respects the People who elected them, ends career politicians which breads corruption, and enacts a logical and well thought out tax program.
