Well for sure, one specific thing Tea Partiers would like to see happen is included in the overall concept of returning government to its constitutional roots:
One of the first things I think Tea Partiers would mandate is that no person in any part of government could use or obligate the tax payers' money to benefit any person, group, demographic, or entity that did not benefit everybody else - and -
Members of Congress would be required to submit themselves to ALL regulations, rules, and laws that they pass for anybody.
Would our leftist friends or anti-tea party folks agree to that?
Gee, providing counseling to PTSD vets who suffer from drug or alcohol dependence subsequent to serving in combat is opposed by "Tea Partiers" because it doesn't benefit the CEO's wife who consumes too many martini's. Sorry for the inherent sarcasm here but that point I find ridiculous.
I agree with point number two, sadly both the Senate and the H. of Rep. right the rules for their own legislative process and the bills they pass. No amount of pressure, it seems, could sway them to give up the many perks and benefits they have granted themselves.
Article I of the Constitution would need to be amended to force such a change in point number two.
