The Tea Party and the Remaking of Republican Conservatism by Theda Skocpol and Vanessa Williamson - Oxford, 2012. call number: 320.52 Sko"(The authors) conducted interviews with Tea Party members to explain the forces giving rise to the movement and its impact on the GOP and the U.S. political system. Aptly demonstrated are the Tea Party's overriding desires to remove President Obama from office and, as important, move the GOP, seen by the Tea Party as too moderate, to the extreme right." - Library Journal review excerpt
call number: 320.52 Lea
"Leahy, an early activist and new media champion of the Tea Party, systematically and reasonably defends the movement as more than a flash in the pan, and suggests that it has its roots in the limited government ethos of Jefferson and the founding fathers. According to Leahy, the federal government has historically broken four key promises that the founders agreed to in principle: to abide by the written words of the Constitution; refrain from interfering with free markets; uphold the traditions and customs of the "fiscal constitution"; and commit to thoughtful deliberation in Congress." - Publishers Weekly review excerpt
