Synopsis

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 endureNow 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.

Excellent book! Gave many insights into a hard fought election victory and the rough and tumble world of Kentucky politics.

Goodreads review by Katrina on March 04, 2011

Disclaimer: This was a Firstreads copy. This book is a primer on Tea Party philosophy as told through the campaign of Kentucky's current junior senator. It is short on autobiography and quite philosophical which is refreshing. I was glad to encounter an even-handedness in Rand Paul's laying of blame f......more

Goodreads review by Christopher on December 01, 2015

I'm biased. Rand Paul could scratch out the words "I'm Running for Preezy" in crayon on a sheet of notebook paper, and I would buy it and rate it 4-5 stars on Goodreads. With that qualifier, this was a great book! Seriously though, this is a great book to get to know Rand Paul. I wish the title were d......more

Being from Kentucky, I followed this bazaar senate races very......more
