Tea Party in the House!

Who's ready for tea? Reports had been circulating about the formation of a tea party caucus, and now here it is! The house is ready to serve tea, as the tea party caucus officially formed yesterday. The group opens up with 28 Congressmen, with the main contingent coming from Texas. Here is a list of the tea party caucus members, lets show these folks our support:

Todd Akin (MO-2)
Rodney Alexander (LA-5)
Michele Bachmann (MN-6)
Joe Barton (TX-6)
Roscoe Bartlett (MD-6)
Gus Bilirakis (FL-9)
Rob Bishop (UT-1)
Michael Burgess (TX-26)
Paul Broun (GA-10)
Dan Burton (IN-5)
John Carter (TX-31)
John Culberson (TX-7)
John Fleming (LA-4)
Trent Franks (AZ-2)
Phil Gingrey (GA-11)
Louie Gohmert (TX-1)
Tom Graves (GA-9)
Pete Hoekstra (MI-2)
Walter Jones (NC-3)
Steve King (IA-5)
Doug Lamborn (CO-5)
Cynthia Lummis (WY)
Tom McClintock (CA-4)
Gary Miller (CA-42)
Jerry Moran (KS-1)
Randy Neugebauer (TX-19)
Mike Pence (IN-6)
Tom Price (GA-6)
Denny Rehberg (MT)
Pete Sessions (TX-32)
Adrian Smith (NE-3)
Lamar Smith (TX-21)
Cliff Stearns (FL-6)
Todd Tiahrt (KS-4)
Joe Wilson (SC-2)

Some highlights on this list would most notably be Mike Pence from Indiana who is chairman of the house republican congressional committee. Pete Sessions chairs that committee. Joe "You Lie" Wilson. Minority leader Boehner says that he welcomes the tea party, but refused to join saying that he would only by a party of the Republican caucus.

Either way I was not expecting so many lawmakers to participate in the tea party caucus. This is just fantastic and I look forward to see how they handle themselves in the House. It is great to see that the tea party finally has a voice and an outlet to voice their concerns. Thank you Michelle Bachmann.
