  2. Excerpt from Sarah Palin’s Tea Party Convention Speech It's easy to understand why Americans are shaking their heads when Washington has broken trust with the people that these politicians are supposed to be serving….We need to stand up and decide to do our part to put our government back on the side of the people!....Too often when big government and big business get together and cronyism sets in, well, it benefits the insiders, not everyday Americans.…Who can argue against the fact that government should be about the people and for the people? Remember, all political power is inherent in the people and government is supposed to be working for the people!
