A. The Tea Party is a a political party that began about a half a year ago. This group criticizes the government's plans to refinance mortgages. They want to begin a new party in Senate. They are currently trying to get more influence in the Senate and in House of representatives by voting for republican candidates. The party has 10 objectives: identify constitutionality of every new law, reject emissions trading, demand a balanced federal budget, simplify the tax system, audit federal government agencies for constitutionality, limit annual growth in federal spending, repeal the health care legislation passed on March 23, 2010, pass an 'All-of-the-Above' Energy Policy, Reduce Earmarks, and lastly- reduce taxes. This movement is happening all over the united states.
B. All in all, the party has a large agenda and has a lot of work to do. The party is getting especially popular now because of the economy and because the ideas of the party are ideas that the citizens can relate to. If all goes well, and many of the candidates backed by the party get voted, this could happen in the near future.
C. In my opinion, the party seems friendly now but sooner or later something is going to turn the majority of the population again the party. The party is going to change in some way. Its either going to be zealous right party or it is going to be moderate.
I think because this party is so young it has a great chance of being disbanded. Also the name"tea party" almost sounds like they want to be a joke. I doubt many people take them seriously because of their name. I suggest they change their name if they want to get ahead. As you say they have lots of work to do to get any real recognition.
