Dave Edwards on the Tea Party
During the WYFF 4 debate, the candidates running in the 4th District were asked about the Tea Party. Here is how Dave Edwards responded to the question:
"I believe the Tea Party has been here all along. It's just gotten to the point where we as common Americans have gotten frustrated that we're not being represented properly by Congress. We've reached the point where we've been pushed to the max and so we're reacting and coming out in force. I'm very thankful that I've been able to speak and interact with many of those who are here in Greenville, Spartanburg, Union and Laurens county who are part of the Tea Party movement. I'm just like you all in the sense that I've gotten fed up with what's happening in DC. We have two different parties bickering over who's right instead of what's right for you, me and our country. We do have to send a message, a very loud and clear message. The Tea Party has been awakened. The common American has been awakened. We are becoming more and more aware of what the Federal Government is doing. It's time for us to make a difference, to stand up and say we want our Constitutional and conservative values to be represented."
