Can New e-Book Series Help Spread Tea Party Message?

Broadside Books, a conservative imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, recently launched what it calls a “groundbreaking e-book series.”
That new series, which is now available at an e-platform near you, is called “Voices of the Tea Party.”
The series publishes short, pamphlet-like political works on topics such as Obamacare (”First Do No Harm“) and grassroots activism (”Community Organizing for Conservatives“).
At $2 per e-book, the purpose of these long essays is to “reinvigorate and democratize the conservative intellectual movement by lowering barriers to entry for citizen-activists who have something important to say,” according to Adam Bellow. Bellow, the son of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Saul Bellow, is the editor of Broadside Books.
“The Tea Party is the most exciting political movement of my lifetime,” Bellow recently told CNN. “I say that as someone who was around during the 60s and was in many ways a product of that decade.”
The mission of “Voices of the Tea Party,” in the words of Broadside Books’ website, is to connect readers and writers to those “citizen activists” Bellow mentioned:
Readers and writers alike can thereby join important national discussion within this ever-expanding community of citizen activists who have dedicated themselves to securing the movements’ core values of constitutionally limited government, fiscal responsibility and free markets.
Bellow is pictured below, left, with The Blaze’s editor-in-chief Scott Baker.
In this interview with Baker, Bellow discusses the genesis of “Voices of the Tea Party”—and of his own political conservatism, which was awakened, he explains, in the 1980s.

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 7:45pmI ran into this post on a local blog in Edgewater, Colorado. I thought it might be of interest to my Tea Party friends on the Blaze:
Who are you to judge? wrote:
Quote:
Patriot,
If you are the God fearing man you claim to be then why do you hate the planet and those less fortunate than yourself so much? That is not very patriotic in my opinion.
Patriot responds:
I do not sit in Gods judgement, I do not have that authority. I do not hate the planet nor do I have the disposition of determining humanities part nor portion of it’s long history. That is Gods will. Nor do I hate those less or more fortunate than myself. I do not covet my neighbors good fortune nor relish in the misery of others. Where I can, I will offer a hand up to those seeking it and delight in the good fortune of others. I will stand to death to support that great American institution that is promised to all in our sacred Declaration of Independence that demands “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness“ knowing full well that the term ”men” means humanity regardless of race, creed, color or gender.
Do not paint me with your brush, that is not your privilege.

I would love for the Conservative majority in this country to lay low until then – give the Progressives a real comfy sense of security.

Then… the landslide victory over The Chosen One.

Most of us have seen the movie E.T., Star Wars, Dirty Harry, Avatar….. but how many of us have read those books? I would rather hold a news paper than even bother with an “eBook” but maybe in time eBooks will become something more… I dunno… maybe …. maybe a …. how do I say it? Oh yea… a video…. those seem to cost more to make but the audience levels go way up.
If you want people to understand more, then talk to your friends more. show your colors. Wear shirts, caps, stickers, patches… ADVERTISE and show that the Tea Party folk are not just some far off group of whack jobs. ABOVE ALL ELSE… educate yourself because you will be questioned and the last thing you want to do is come across as an idiot. Know what you believe in and why you believe it. Don’t rely on Glenn Beck to give you all of the answers. Don’t expect Sarah Palin or anyone else to live it for you.

Ebooks are also a viable means of educating yourself. As viable a means as paper books.

This forum will help them understand how some of us have started at the local government level, vetting the candidates that have the most impact on our communities, and in some cases running for those positions simply because there is no one to step-up.

The “progressive” stereotypes attributed by them to ANYONE who quite rationally opposes their agenda are not born out by reality. I’d bet the actual IQ, education level, credit score, and any other “measure” of human achievement is MUCH higher (like, on the order of 10 or more….) for your average “Tea Partier” than one of their “progressive/liberal” types. And conversely, the illiteracy and drop-out rate, criminal history, illegitimacy, and welfare-dependency are MOST ASSUREDLY higher for those on the political “left” (who vote in droves for their “O’Bama money”) than on the “right” .
The ugly truth is, the segment of America who voted for this incompetent, unqualified poser (after witnessing what four years of a Democrat Congress and two years of O‘Bama’s disastrous Presidency has done to our economy and our sacred Republic) and would STILL do so could ONLY be populated by a preponderance of uneducated idiots, leaches, un-American, socialist, communist, morally-corrupt and intellectually-bankrupt fools. In a word…“Sheeple”.
