The TEA Party movement is drawing thousands of Americans to the cause of liberty, the Constitution and the intent of our Founding Fathers. They wish to explain their position and pass their passion on to their children, yet find they are not as well versed in the foundations of our nation as they would like. Steve Feazel, a former pastor, professor, and writer, has taken on that challenge by writing Letters to Tanner, a collection of letters to his two-year-old grandson about the foundations of American freedom. He explains to Dr. Janice Crouse, Senior Fellow and Director of the Beverly LaHaye Institute, how this short, easy to read book is great for grade school students, teenagers as well as adults seeking a refresher course on the importance of Christianity, Capitalism, and Conservatism in maintaining a free society.
