In this segment from The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin remembers the weekend Obamacare passed — and the Tennessee volunteers she discovered were sleeping in their car because they couldn't afford a DC hotel. Bill Norton recalls the same nights: activists on the ground with a bullhorn shouting "kill the bill," looking up to see leadership on the balcony swirling a glass of wine while a guitarist played.
That contrast became a turning point. Both came away convinced that passion and protest are the first way we share our voice — but not the last. As Jenny Beth puts it, at some point "you have to put away the rally signs and get to work": educate people, find productive avenues, get involved in elections, and understand the founding principles underneath it all.
This is a preview of the show's founding-principles training series, which begins airing Monday, July 6.
Tea Party Patriots Action keeps doing the work behind the scenes — and is fighting to pass the SAVE America Act. Reach your senators through the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121.
