Who is Nevada's Tea Party

A recent New York Times/CBS News poll shows that forty percent of Americans do not have a favorable view of the Tea Party.  In a recent GOP primary debate sponsored by the Tea Party,  there were contraversial comments that came from the audience about allowing a sick person to die.   What does the Tea Party really stand for?  And is it a cohesive national movement or a large group of factions with different points of view on government?  We talk with National Tea Party leaders as well as Nevada Tea Party leaders to get a better picture of what the Tea Party truly represents.
