Synopsis:

The most powerful populist movement in nearly a century, the Tea Party is currently reconfiguring American government at every level. In Covenant of Liberty, Michael Patrick Leahy, one of the movement’s early leaders, explores the Tea Party’s ideological origins, tracing them back to the traditions of English liberty that inspired our Founding Fathers. Leahy clearly and cogently defines the Tea Party for anyone misled by the campaign of misinformation launched by political opponents who falsely brand it as racist and xenophobic, demonstrating instead how its core principles of limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility place it squarely in the mainstream of the American founding tradition. He also sheds light on its unique organizational methods, and shows its growing international appeal. Covenant of Liberty is a must read for all concerned Americans who want to know how their nation began, where it is going, and where it must go.
