Obviously, Bud Kennedy does not think fiscal responsibility, national security, personal freedom, the U.S. Constitution, lower taxes, the rule of law and a smaller/saner government are at all important. These are the basic principles of the Tea Party movement. (See: "Tea Party is trying to sell nonevent," Sunday)

Otherwise, he would not demean the efforts of hardworking Americans in North Texas to stand up for these values.

I have been a member of the Tea Party since early 2009 and have not seen any waning of its power or its importance. We certainly have not been reduced to "selling tickets to a political nonevent."

The only nonevent here is Kennedy's column, which I am loath to even acknowledge. Kennedy has been to our meetings, and I feel I have a right to invade his space with a counteropinion. The Tea Party is not dead, and the Texas House speaker's race is not over.
