The media has portrayed the tea party membership in a negative light since its inception. The main reason for this is fear. They are afraid that the sleeping giant of the true spirit of the United States will awaken to retake our rightful heritage and rights. The majority of the “tea party movement” is over 50 years of age. The future of the tea party and this country is the next generation of young leaders. As this movement grows and is enhanced by people of all ages, we will succeed. 

Joel Killian of the Wilson, NC Tea Party has the qualities that will ensure our success: family values, religious values and the vision to see our country’s future at a young age.
