Críticas:

"Finally, an accurate overview of the modern tea party movement that has been well researched and without an agenda. While it's obvious that O'Hara is attuned and sympathetic to the cause, he does try and be as objective as possible... , this should be required reading for all journalists who are reporting on the tea party saga... What is most useful is the fact that he realizes that those involved are motivated with a frustration of politicians of all parties. It is not a left and right issue... a well written book on a subject that is very much in the public eye. If you are seeking an accurate [account] of what has transpired so far, then this is the book for you." - Blogcritics.org "Mr. O'Hara impressively shows the libertarian tradition in American history, from Tom Paine to Ronald Reagan... What comes across in [this] book is not so much a brief for a Republican takeover of the House and Senate as an argument for throwing out the incumbents... The ultimate citizens guide to making the government accountable, including such strategy tips as 'bring a camera to your rally if the media won't cover it,' 'Alert your base - use the phone, Facebook, Twitter, Meetup, emails lists, Web sites.' Mr. O'Hara has a grown-up attititude other conservative activists don't have... In A New American Tea Party , Mr. O'Hara not only explains a movement that the media has tried to marginalize, but also provides a study in how our nation's reporters should report what is happening rather than what they think should be." - The Washington Times "In addition to detailing all the players and events - in fascinating detail for those interested in a how-to handbook on political organizing - the book also is a comprehensive description of the "why" of the movement: the betrayals of the Republican Congress, and the failures of the Bush Administration, the McCain campaign and the economics sins (only a partial list is possible!) of the Obama Administration and its Democratic Congress, and also the mainstream media. In all, a cogent, point-by-point refresher course of the past decade's reversal of the economic policies of the Reagan Revolution... [This] first-hand account from within this grassroots movement is well written, thoroughly researched and annotated and presented in a crisp, organized fashion. A New American Tea Party is also often a very entertaining overview of the tea party movement's inception and battles, internal and external, thus far. More important, the book sets the stage for the road ahead not only for this movement, but for conservatism as a whole." - Conservative Battleline Online "I think it's an interesting read. Read it, learn about it for yourselves and separate it." - Jon Stewart , "The Daily Show"

Reseña del editor:

The tax protester manifesto, written by a leading organizer of the tea party protests On April 15, 2009, a grassroots contingency of Americans that would soon become known around the world as the Tea Party made front-page news. Angered by years of excessive government spending-taxpayer financed bailouts of businesses deemed too big to fail and taxpayer handouts to special interest groups-Americans of all ages and all walks of life took to the streets to take back their country. A New American Tea Party: The Counterrevolution Against Bailouts, Handouts, Reckless Spending, and More Taxes is their story, and it's your guide for contributing to the movement to rein in government spending. The book Summarizes the Tea Party movement Explains how the Tea Party protests were organized Presents a call to action for continuing protests and describes how to best coordinate them The debt resulting from today's reckless government spending will eventually result in massive tax hikes. A New American Tea Party shows how to focus your outrage into a productive movement that will make a positive difference.
