When the Wall Street investment bankers said...
"This campaign was about you and your families and we the people. It's about changing our government to work for the people, not the investment bankers and multinational corporations. when the three men in a room tried to tell us who would be on the ballot, 12,000 of you said, 'No.' And when the lobbyists came and spent millions of dollars to buy this election, we said, 'No, we won't vote. You won't tell us how to vote.'

When the Wall Street investment bankers said 'we don't need to make things in Ameirca anymore', we said, 'No, you are wrong.' You are destroying our jobs, our homes, our health care, our social security, and putting our children in debt and poverty."

This was from the concession speech in NY-26... of the Tea Party candidate.

This message can resonate with tea party people, and there's no reason we can't court that vote.

1. Absolutely!
but first , we might convince OUR party's top elected officials to remove their kissing lips from the naked buttocks of the Wall Street investment bankers.
Seriously.

2. When Wall Street talks about "the people" it usually means the rich. nt
