With no unified slogan, office, or central organizing committee authority, the tea party seems to defy definition. But as tea partiers decide whom to support for the Republican nomination, the principles and goals of the movement will guide the future of the election.
The Tea Party: Three Principles goes beyond the rhetoric to help us understand the substance of the movement. Constitutional law expert Elizabeth Price Foley transcends party divides to provide a serious yet accessible analysis of the principles on which the Tea Party is founded. Rather than tackling its political or pragmatic aspects-the "who," "why," or "how to"-this book explains the misunderstood but critically important "what."

The American Era
- Paperback (ISBN-13: 9780521697385)
- Publication date: January 2007
- Subject: International relations and international organisations
This controversial book addresses the world role America has begun to undertake in light of recent terrorist events. If America does not respond actively to terrorist threats, no one else is likely to take the initiative. In such a time when threats from terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction are a reality, and when human rights, peace, and stability cannot be assured by institutions like the U.N. and European Union, global activism on the part of the U.S. becomes a necessity, not something about which to be apologetic.

The Tea Party
- Hardback (ISBN-13: 9781107011359)
- Publication date: February 2012
- Subject: Politics: general interest
In The Tea Party: Three Principles, Elizabeth Price Foley asserts that the mainstream media's characterization of the American Tea Party movement is distorted. Foley sees the decentralized, wide-ranging group as a movement bound by allegiance to three "core principles" of American constitutional law: limited government, unapologetic U.S. sovereignty, and constitutional originalism. She explains how these principles predict the Tea Party's impact on the American political landscape, connecting them to current issues, such as health care reform, illegal immigration, the war on terror, and internationalism.
