Editor: I had the opportunity to attend the Tea Party event on April 15th and since then, I have had the chance to read a few pieces in the Statesboro Herald that affirm what appears to be the guiding principles of the movement: small government, low taxes and free-market enterprise. There also seems to be a general feeling that the American public is being sold out, that our hard-earned money is being given to benefit major corporations and financial institutions that have intimate ties with our representatives. But "throwing out the incumbents" as the Partiers argue is not the answer.
