Tea Party Challenger!!!

The 2012 Senate campaign in Virginia has its first Tea Party candidate. Jamie Radtke, head of the Virginia Tea Party Patriots, filed federal papers to run for the Republican nomination for Virginia's Senate seat. Radtke said the recent tax deal passed by Congress and increased national spending contributed to her decision to run.

Jamie Radtke feels as if:

- The career politicians can't save them from the national crisis.

- The career politicians have made the national crisis worse.
- Washington needs to be changed.
- Elect a new generation of leaders to the Senate and House.
- New leaders need to fight to restore the virtue and accountability in the government.

Radtke considers herself a Tea Party and Republican candidate, the Tea Party has grown in popularity because voters support candidates who favor  cutting deficit spending and less government.


*Jamie said "We can build on what we have learned and on the foundation we have laid in 2010 for the upcoming elections."
 

* Jamie is helping make a stand towards the governments crisis.

* She's speaking out to what she believes in and is running for Virginia's senate seat to help make a change.

* Taxes are slowly ruining our governments.
