Publisher's Synopsis
"After the 2008 election, many believed America was inevitably lurching hard and permanently to the left. The grassroots revolt that is the tea party movement stopped the left′s momentum and may have reversed America′s trajectory. This book′s inside story is the first account of this happy reversal of fortune."Grover Norquist, President, Americans for Tax Reform "When CNN′s Anderson Cooper is calling you obscure sexual fetishes, then you′ve got to be doing something right. The tea party movement is the long awaited conservative counterrevolution. To paraphrase Abbie Hoffman, ′buy this book.′ John O′Hara delivers the meaning behind this movement and what Americans can do next."Andrew Breitbart, Publisher, Big Government, Big Hollywood, and Big Journalism "Fifty years from now, historians will be reading O′Hara′s book to understand one of the great pivot points in American politics."Tucker Carlson, Editor, The Daily Caller "A must–read, behind–the–scenes tour of the movement that has magnified the voices of millions of concerned Americans. John O′Hara effectively demonstrates how our Constitution and basic principles of freedom are under fire. More importantly, he equips citizens with the knowledge and encouragement necessary to win the battles for freedom still ahead of us. Get this book, get informed...then get busy!"U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (SC), author of Saving Freedom "John O′Hara helped spearhead a movement that is now redefining the American electorate. This inspiring read will further rouse a new generation of patriots not beholden to a political party, but to the rugged individualism and free–market philosophy on which this country was built."Jonathan Hoenig, Capitalistpig, LLC and Fox News Contributor "Informative and entertaining. The differences I have with the book might be resolved with O′Hara at the next tea party. See you there."Gene Epstein, Barron′s Economics Editor "Captures an inside look at this incredibly important movement. Many left–wing talking heads say it was artificially created, but O′Hara shows how it was a spontaneous grassroots effort. For anyone interested in understanding the new dynamic of politics and how this movement will affect the upcoming election, this book is a must read."Dick Armey, Chairman of FreedomWorks and former House Majority Leader
