My political views have since I was a kid someway or another reflected the concerns of Tea Party movement.

The Tea Party movement as I perceive it is all about recognizing the difference between state and federal powers. And that there are limits to federal power that need to be respected.

The Tea Party has imparted political energy to common-sense American constitutionalism.

One of the beauties of the Tea Party movement - and the many, many like-minded citizens that don't participate in the Tea Party movement - is the fact that it is independent.

People ask me if I'm the father of the Tea Party movement... I was the spark... that started it.

It is not an overstatement to say that Obamacare was the single most important catalyst leading to the tea party movement.
