Opines Wendy Day, Common Sense in Government, Day was instrumental in the first of Michigan's Tea Party organization:
"Politicians will lie and manipulate us. They will go to Lansing and Washington and make really stupid decisions....
"We marched into the streets in 2009 full of vigor and hope. We were angry and ready to do battle with someone. For a year we developed our groups and tryied [sic] to learn all we could about how to save our Republic - but then we realized things were not changing as quickly as we hoped."
Wendy summarizes her views:
"Our country wasn't going to be saved in one election cycle. The battle is almost too big to wrap our arms around and the more we pay attention, THE MORE HOPELESS IT CAN SEEM. Politicians will lie and manipulate us. They will go to Lansing and Washington and make really stupid decisions.
"Tea Party groups have worked to find a path that they think will lead to some success. Some groups are working to change the Republican Party from the inside. BUT THEY ARE FINDING THAT POLITICAL PARTIES ONLY EXIST TO GET AND KEEP POWER. The Republican Party is committed to electing people with "R" behind their name."
This being said: What does the Tea Party do about the new huge income tax levied on the citizens of Michigan? What does the Tea Party do to limit the current rapid expanse of State Control over local government? What is the Tea Party's official position on the radical expansion of state dictatorial powers as in the alarmingly expanded office of the Emergency Finance Manager?
Now that the Tea Party has been instrumental in the election of many Michigan Legislators: What power of influence does it have over the new legislature? We thought it was the purpose of the Tea Party to limit government and prevent new taxes.
Were we wrong?
