With polls showing the movement's popularity sagging, tea party members from across the country are warning that anyone who thinks they are sleeping in 2012 is in for a rude awakening come Election Day, when they plan to pick up where they left off in 2010 by bolstering their voices for limited government on Capitol Hill.

INDIANAPOLIS N Indiana tea party activists might never fully embrace former Sen. Dan Coats, but the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate is making a concerted effort to court the anti-establishment vote and win its support in the general election. After the tea partyOs favored candidate lost the May primary to Coats, those voters weary of big government were expected to either stay home on Nov. 2 or begrudgingly back Coats over Democratic Rep. Brad Ellsworth. But CoatsO wooing has persuaded some to actively seek to help him win IndianaOs open Senate seat.

The talk the other morning in this hamlet on Long Island's south shore focused on topics that would be heard in most other towns across New York: jobs, taxes -- and more taxes. Albany's series of corruption scandals were not far behind in the conversations.
