Va. tea-party activists frustrated with Cantor

[Derechos]

Area tea-partiers' patience is thinning over the pace of change in Washington.

Virginia tea-party activists say they sent leaders to Washington with a clear message to right the nation's fiscal ship and want to see bolder action, faster.

That frustration boiled over recently when House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-7th, opposed an amendment that would have made deeper cuts than the $61 billion that the House passed. It triggered a blistering reaction from leaders of the Virginia Tea Party Patriot Federation.

"We are extremely disappointed in Eric Cantor, but not surprised," Mark K. Lloyd, chairman of the federation, said in a news release. "The will of the American people was pretty clear in November — cut, cut, cut spending. Apparently, Eric Cantor's 'conversion' to fiscal restraint was only temporary."

The tea-party activists also called out Rep. Frank R. Wolf, R-10th, for voting against the amendment.

"Anger and dissatisfaction with both representatives is very high in the Virginia Tea Party movement."
