Letter to the editor:

Tea Party has done a lot for U.S.

Those who have been bashing the Tea Party lately haven’t been paying attention to the good it accomplished.

After Barack Obama took office and immediately rushed through his “stimulus” package, he embarked on a mission to socialize America and fired the CEO of General Motors, a private corporation, which he had no legal authority over; then insulted our allies, England and Israel; then bowed down to a foreign leader, etc. That’s when the Tea Party formed. It got so strong that the GOP gained control of the House of Representatives.

Obama was frightened of this and has ingeniously tried to reverse his image. After all, an election year was looming and he wasn’t finished with his agenda. So after two years without an increase for Social Security, the first time in history this was done, he predictably gave the OK for an increase for 2012. How transparent can you get? Hey, it’s an election year coming up, right?

From what I’ve been reading, many people are regrettably buying into it. Suggestion: Study what is going on. Educate yourself. Read and check with Snopes.com for truth and accuracy. Study the issues. Then vote.
