Because we have been shut out of American political debate since Barry Goldwater. We know we are not going to win this time around. We also know that if the ideal of small government, and the difference between a republic and an empire, is not reintroduced into the American political scene, that the country we love is doomed to death by it's <b>TRUE</b> existential threat ... nope, sorry, it's not tiny, third world nations that lack military or economic power. It's economic collapse. Without our productive capabilities, America really would be in military danger. But we are destroying our nation through debt, through attempting to be somewhere between the policeman and the sugar-daddy of the world, and through regulation which does far more than labor prices to drive jobs out of it, and through a fiat currency which makes rational economic calculation impossible.
We are determined, regardless of personal cost, to return these ideas to the American political debate. If you think about it, a bunch of guys dressed up as Indians and dumping tea into a harbor probably looked pretty silly at the time, especially to those who thought that Independence was a Utopian dream. It is only in retrospect that the importance of what they did became apparent.
