The first step to save America happened tonight....

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was defeated Tuesday by a little-known economics professor in Virginia's Republican primary, a stunning upset and major victory for the tea party.
Cantor is the second-most powerful member of the U.S. House and was seen by some as a possible successor to the House speaker.
His loss to Dave Brat, a political novice with little money marks a huge victory for the tea party movement, which supported Cantor just a few years ago.
Cantor and Republican leadership were plotting to pass an amnesty bill late this summer.  What that would have done to our nation is incalculable.

Cantor's defeat throws a monkey wrench into those schemes.  The first step to save America happened tonight and I couldn't be happier.
