I think at this point eight.
It's we need to extend the payroll tax holiday I like this -- the aegis of the Republican conference not leadership.
There's no leadership at all in DC right now they won't address the problems that we're facing they want to address overspending.
They want to address the fact that we need fundamental tax reform and they -- -- -- fat that the government needs to get out of our lives so we can get back to doing what we do well.

Less than thirty people feel right now.
I -- -- and that may not be that may not be reserved only for Tea Party people the idea that who were there were a key in this country right leadership.
I noted that the Tea Party -- don't endorse candidates would give us a sense because this is this is in my judgment -- most uninteresting.
Primary season for Republicans this is this is about they're fighting against it gets.
Since the since 1980.
What are your thoughts on the candidates.
And -- Alignment with Tea Party values.
You know it's hard to say if you look at the history they've all come off the mark many times throughout their history sort of revolving durable their evolving as well politicians do we have different words -- -- Colorado evolving -- -- -- -- to be -- So I think they've all come off the mark over their careers I think the good news -- that they've all been forced to speak on the mark to Tea Party values throughout the selection.
I think that says something good about what's going on in the country.
And your book.
What are people -- expect when they open this book up.
What are you want them to get this.
We want them to see then there's there's hope for the future and that we have a forty year plan we're not going away where -- looking towards the future and if we can't look to Washington to solve the problems so we'll look to our fellow Americans to solve the problems there.
