The Tea Party stand for lower taxes and less government, both of which are anathema to feminism which depends on high taxes and government mandates. Yet the biggest benefactors of affirmative action are women, and most social spending in government is designed to benefit women, though I have yet to see any Tea Party propose we cut spending in those areas.

I like Tea Parties, haven’t gone to one (live waaaay out in the boondocks, would go if I were closer to one, and want gov’t spending cut by at least 50% for a start. All social programs cut 100%. Minimum.

And I’m a she.

Well, one of the great pleasures of doing Tea Party protests has always been the plethora of foxy conservative gals protesting.

I might add that the Republican parties two greatest leaders at this time are women. Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman show great courage, commitment to liberty, and just plain bring beauty to our cause. I would follow either one to the gates of hell.

We would do well to appreciate the courage and commitment of our wonderful lady Tea Party Patriots!

1. Protect the Constitution Require each bill to identify the specific provision of the Constitution that gives Congress the power to do what the bill does.

2. Reject Cap & Trade Stop costly new regulations that would increase unemployment, raise consumer prices, and weaken the nation’s global competitiveness with virtually no impact on global temperatures.

3. Demand a Balanced Budget Begin the Constitutional amendment process to require a balanced budget with a two-thirds majority needed for any tax hike.

4. Enact Fundamental Tax Reform Adopt a simple and fair single-rate tax system by scrapping the internal revenue code and replacing it with one that is no longer than 4,543 words—the length of the original Constitution.

5. Restore Fiscal Responsibility & Constitutionally Limited Government in Washington Create a Blue Ribbon taskforce that engages in a complete audit of federal agencies and programs, assessing their Constitutionality, and identifying duplication, waste, ineffectiveness, and agencies and programs better left for the states or local authorities, or ripe for wholesale reform or elimination due to our efforts to restore limited government consistent with the US Constitution’s meaning.

6. End Runaway Government Spending Impose a statutory cap limiting the annual growth in total federal spending to the sum of the inflation rate plus the percentage of population growth.

7. Defund, Repeal, & Replace Government-run Health Care Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care with a system that actually makes health care and insurance more affordable by enabling a competitive, open, and transparent free-market health care and health insurance system that isn’t restricted by state boundaries.

8. Pass an ‘All-of-the-Above” Energy Policy Authorize the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries and reduce regulatory barriers to all other forms of energy creation, lowering prices and creating competition and jobs.

9. Stop the Pork Place a moratorium on all earmarks until the budget is balanced, and then require a 2/3 majority to pass any earmark.

10. Stop the Tax Hikes Permanently repeal all tax hikes, including those to the income, capital gains, and death taxes, currently scheduled to begin in 2011.

Are you looking for something more specific? As I see it, if it isn't constitutional - it isn't funded - or are you looking for specific "we're taking away specific programs" type verbiage?

Feminism is supposed to be about female choice (of course it isnt, but it claims to be). Women dont have a choice as long as taxes are high. They have to be in the workforce, even if they would rather stay home with their children.

It makes sense to me that the Tea Party is attracting women who are fed up with this situation.
