Tea Party To Republicans: 'Hold The Line' Against Debt Ceiling Deal, Bring Back 'Cut, Cap And Balance' (PHOTOS): "WASHINGTON -- In the midst of tense negotiations over the nation's debt ceiling, an all-star cast of Republican lawmakers addressed a Tea Party rally held adjacent to the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon, calling for GOP leaders to 'hold the line' against plans without a balanced budget amendment.
The rally, organized by the Tea Party Express and American Grassroots Coalition and attended by roughly 75 supports and press, featured GOP Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Joe Walsh (R-Ill.), as well as Sens. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah).
Their message to the Republican leadership: bring back Cut, Cap and Balance, a House-passed bill to raise the debt ceiling that failed in the Senate earlier this month. As lawmakers struggle to find a deal to increase the debt limit before the Aug. 2 deadline, Tea Partiers have stuck to Cut, Cap and Balance, which has major spending cuts and a balanced budget amendment, as the ideal path forward."
