The Tea Party Goes to Washington

The Tea Party Goes to Washington is a book by United States Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. The book, co-written by radio host, columnist, and blogger Jack Hunter, describes the Tea Party movement's impact in the 2010 midterm elections in the United States, and ultimately their impact on the entire political system. Paul was elected to the United States Senate on November 2, 2010, along with the help of various Tea Party activists across Kentucky, and has strongly embraced the group. Paul considers himself a member of the Tea Party, and has since founded the Tea Party Caucus in the United States Senate, along with several other senators, including senators Mike Lee, Jim DeMint and Jerry Moran. The book was released on February 22, 2011, and is published by Center Street, a main publishing division of Hachette Book Group USA. Reception In a review of the book, historian Thomas Woods wrote:
