Paul Broun to start his own tea party group — if an existing one won’t hire him | Political Insider blog

Most of Georgia’s departing members of Congress have been vague or coy when discussing their next move.

Not so Rep. Paul Broun, R-Athens. He has been blunt about saying “I need a job” and he told us Tuesday that he might just have to create one himself by launching a group called Restoring Liberty in America.

A doctor by training, Broun hopes to stick with politics even after his nearly four terms in Congress are done because “I’ve got to stay in this fight.” He also has to make money:

“I could possibly go on some board of director position if offered, a paid position on a corporate board. I would entertain a leadership position in some organization that is out there today, and I’m just looking for whatever position is available.

“If an organization doesn’t offer me that opportunity then I’ve begun the process of even starting my own – Restoring Liberty in America. If I could join an organization such as Americans for Prosperity or FreedomWorks or a tea party group in a leadership role, I could help them.”
