Cross post from GD: Teabagger running against Betty Sutton in Ohio 13th Democratic Primary

The Liberty Committee is happy to announce its endorsement of Justin Wooden for Congress (Ohio--13th District) in the Democrat primary against Betty Sutton. Justin is consistently pro-life and articulates a very passionate and well reasoned position for limited, de-centralized government. He is committed to an economy based on the individual's private property rights and entrepeneurial spirit--not government hand-outs.

Much has happened over the last year since Rick Santelli, a CNBC Wall Street correspondent issued a call for a Tea Party to voice dissent with the government’s handling of the economic crisis and sub prime melt down.

How much of what has been said has been hype and how much has been truth?

First in the issue of transparency I must admit that I was a member of the tea party/912 movements and do still believe in the foundational principles that they were built on. Contrary to media accounts and “selective video and picture shots” these groups are pretty diverse. Also they are very peaceful. According to widely varying accounts there were anywhere from 700,000 to 2 million people at the march on Washington D.C. on 9/12/2009. There was not one arrest. All the litter from the event was picked up and placed around the trash cans. The D.C. police had never seen anything like it in their whole history. These groups are very respectful and orderly. The attempt by media to blame anything bad that happens on them has blown up in their face every time. Such as the man who committed suicide and framed it as a murder committed by tea partiers?...
