Meet the Future of the Republican Party
Meet Devon Minnema, a 14-year-old Tea Party organizer
Meet Devon Minnema, a 14-year-old political nut who might be one of the youngest Tea Party organizers in the country.
The rising sophomore from Dixon, Calif. is so committed to the libertarian, Tea Party cause that he once waved a sign reading “13 years old and trillions in debt” by himself on a street corner when his fellow Tea Partier buddies backed out on him on April 15th’s Tax Day nationwide rallies.
…
He became a libertarian in 7th grade, he said, while doing an assignment on the 2008 presidential campaign. “I learned about Ron Paul and started doing more research into him and his work, his beliefs in Austrian economics. That’s where it kind of took off.”

When it comes to his own future, Minnema foresees the political arena. “I have these business cards printed that say Minnema for President in 2044.”
