Follow the Campaign of One Special Tea Party Candidate

November 02, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After the last ballots are counted and Tea Party candidates have done the improbable, take a look back at the grassroots efforts of one Tea Party Congressional hopeful in the new book The Hick Arrives at the Tea Party.

Follow the short, colorful Congressional campaign of Rufus "Junior" Hickman Jr., an independent contractor who trades in his grass smoking for grassroots barnstorming in an effort to dethrone incumbent Rep. Jim Dandy in Nebraska's 3rd District.

Recruited by Tea Party activists for his inherent knack for saying crazy things, Rufus hits the gravel to convince the folks of Nebraska's 3rd District that he's the right outlaw to serve their needs which may or may not include the preservation of personal liberty and the legalization of marijuana.

But trouble lurks outside the 3rd's unguarded borders: a tearful endorsement from the coattail rider The Profit is threatening to sabotage Rufus' home-grown Tea Party bandwagoning.

"Although it's a work of fiction, this book follows the people who get lost in the Tea Party movement, who fall victim to the marketing of anger by outside forces looking to steal political power" says the book's author, Terry Dugan. "There are real people with real concerns who have walked under the Tea Party revival tent. After seeing the show, they may want government to be born again, but the reality is that change is complicated and painful, rhetoric only makes things hurt longer.

"But rhetoric always sounds better than reality, doesn't it?"

The Hick Arrives at the Tea Party is now available for $9.12 at Amazon.com and Terry Dugan.com (http://terrydugan.com). Read samples of the book online at http://terrydugan.com/books/the-hick-arrives-at-the-tea-party.
