Thank you very much it.

-- can't we all just get along -- what summit Tea Party have a gut to be wondering after a couple of dust ups case in point.

The ongoing battle over Mitt Romney.

It took a sharp term when -- freedom works a Tea Party affiliated group pulled out of co sponsoring the Tea Party express bus tour.

And adding insult to injury freedom works says it will protest Romney's appearance this evening at a stop in New Hampshire.

Sal Russo is a co-founder of Tea Party express.

Thank you so much for joining us.

My pleasure being here.

First -- we know that the Tea Party doesn't speak with one voice and that said it was a surprising though to see this -- spat between the Europe group and the freedom works group over Mitt Romney's appearance in New Hampshire.

Doesn't -- hurt the Tea Party -- -- when there's lots of public infighting.

Among the various factions.

Well there's always been a lot of diversity and opinion I mean I think it was a silly little pro stock that they.

-- here because I think the American people.

As well as the Tea Party people want to hear from these candidates they're gravely concerned about the state of the American economy.

Where our future -- for prosperity and for jobs I think they're looking for solving intrusion so.

We've invited each and every one of the term top Republican candidates to join us on the on this -- And explain their ideas to how to get the American economy moving again.

So I think it's pretty silly to say well this -- it shouldn't speak this wouldn't shouldn't speak I think the American people of the Tea Party people in particular.

Are very capable of making good decisions and so.

I believe and informed electorate is the best thing for democracy.

And so the Tea Party express is really dedicated to the ideas let's get the candidates up there let's -- they have to say and I think the American people make a good decision.

Let me ask you -- there are some that say that did this shows that the Tea Party really can't ignite.

The same kind of political muscle in the presidential sweepstakes that we saw back in 2010 in the congressional races when He stated that.

Well there's a big difference is going on when we were doing these -- back in 2009.

And we asked the audience how many you've ever been involved in politics before.

It would only be a handful of people who would say they've been involved.

But as you saw on the Torre -- elections millions of people got engaged in the -- process which is what made the huge difference in the twenty term elections.

Today we're doing our rallies across the country we asked clip.

Question almost every single person is engaged in the political process so I think 2012 was gonna be repeated -- tell.

And you're gonna see a lot of people get reelected or get elected -- -- subscribe to the Tea Party values and the idea that we have to restore American prosperity.

-- fellowship thank you so much for joining us -- --
