The Tea Party Movement Continues…

Posted: 07 Jul 2009 11:31 PM PDT

As passion builds for the freedom movement, Tea Party organizers have popped up all over the internet.  There are Tea Parties on a variety of dates, organized by a number of different individuals and organizations, spreading passion throughout our communities.  Yet, in order to make this movement the success that it should and will be, we must be able to independently coordinate our efforts.

On July 4th, without an ounce of support from the national media, without a parade from the talking heads, and with extreme passion in cities all across this country, patriots assembled in thousands of peaceful displays of not only protest, but in respect for the principles of independence this country was founded upon.

ReTeaParty.com has been coordinating with FreeandEqual.org, an organization that has been instrumental in obtaining ballot access, providing legal assistance, and promoting awareness of third party candidates across the political spectrum, with the common understanding that this movement is much larger than a protest against Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, and the like.  We recognize that the slow destruction of our Constitution and our inalienable rights to self-responsibility, property, and the fruits of our labor has occurred over many administrations and been propelled by members on both "sides" of the party line.

As for this website, we will remain optimistic and in support of everyone's Tea Parties and look forward to significantly expanding our organizational tools, technology, and communications, as we believe there is a common goal amongst all our efforts to restore faith in the American people, and reinvigorate the (small "r") republican and decentralized ideals set forth in the Constitution of the United States.

To aid fellow patriots, ReTeaParty.com has provided a network where local organizers can request their own website, designed specifically for Tea Party coordination.  Organizers can control their own blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Meetup widgets, links, contact information, e-mail updates, and much more.  Let’s show the political players that we are all in this together, and that freedom has our vigilance.

Every two years, the political parties plan massive registration drives to coddle support for their partisan message. This upcoming election, let’s only stand by candidates that represent individuals, not political parties, and Re-Declare our Independence.

Tea Parties, Community, and Kelly

Posted: 29 Jun 2009 04:20 PM PDT

With less than a week until the big Tea Parties, we hope you have all had the opportunity to organize yourselves, contact the media, and align speakers for what should be hundreds of fun filled and productive events on Saturday.

Everyday, our government hands us new pieces of legislation that increases our taxes, infringes on our constitutional rights, and sends our tax dollars to those that don’t deserve them.  Together, on July 4th, we stand up to say ENOUGH!

As the Democrats plan to put an out of control government in charge of our health care, and the Republicans stand up to…well…not really sure what they stand for anymore, let’s re-declare our independence together, and voice our respect, not for the possessors of power, but the principles of individual freedom and Liberty.

On a side note, many of you have received messages from a “Kelly”, looking for love.  Althought we encourage everyone to love one another, this is not a dating service site and spamming the members has resulted in us banning her from the site.  To all those interested in a relationship with her, we apologize, but you will have to communicate with her away from this site.

Good luck to everyone, and stay tuned as we are planning a redevelopment of the website to better organize, promote, and publicize all your hard work and activities.  The development will be launched in stages and we hope to unveil the begining in a few short months.  Thank you and continue the good, hard work.

CA Assemblyman Declares His Independence

Posted: 24 Jun 2009 11:40 PM PDT

It not unusual for politicians, like Arlen Specter, to switch affiliation when their party is out of power. However, in a rare occurrence, former Democrat Assemblyman Juan Arambula re-registered as an Independent (called “decline to state” in California), saying “The special interests have a lot to say about what goes on in both parties. But my real frustration is I can’t be effective for my constituents [in the Democratic Party].”

Is this a sign that the tide is turning? Are politicians waking up to the fact that voters are just plain fed up with political games? Have the special interest finally gone too far? This July 4th, let’s join Assemblyman Arambula, other Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Greens, and everyone else that is sending a message to the political elite, and Re-Declare Our Independence.

Tea Party Poll

Posted: 19 Jun 2009 01:56 PM PDT

People often ask, “What’s the point of the tea parties?” “What are you trying to accomplish?”  “What are your goals?”  To provide answers to these critical questions, perhaps it would be beneficial to create a basic poll.  Here’s a list of potential objectives for Tea Party protestors.  List your top five:

  • Balance the federal budget
  • Lower taxes across the board
  • Increase state sovereignty in political, economic, and social issues
  • Institute constitutional term limits in Congress
  • Decrease federal spending
  • Borrow less money from foreign powers such as China, Russia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, etc.
  • Make Congress cite chapter & verse in the Constitution when passing bills
  • End all federal bailouts
  • Increase ballot access for Independent & Third Party candidates
  • Increase the value of our Dollar
  • Throw out every single candidate, regardless of party affiliation, who voted for any of the federal bailouts
  • Increase transparency & accountability at the Federal Reserve
  • Reform the entire tax code
  • Elect Washington outsiders in upcoming elections
  • Start paying down the national debt
  • Throw out big government & big spending incumbents, regardless of party affiliation
  • Make Congress read the bills before they actually vote
  • Build the foundation for a new, third party
  • Start running for political office ourselves

This list is by no means exhaustive, and there is some degree of overlap between the various categories, but it serves as a good starting point.  What are your Tea Party’s top five objectives?
