What is the Tea Party Movement About?
We are often asked, “What is the Tea Party Movement about?”
I will tell you!
It is about Principles, not Politics. Our leaders must fight for right – not re-election.
It’s about Culture, not Collectivism. The American way is to encourage free enterprise – not increased government control of our lives.
It’s about History, not Heresy. Do you know that the NEA and the Dept of Education are rewriting our history books to leave God out?
It’s about Liberty, not Liberalism – the freedom to pursue our dreams without a larger & larger government crushing those dreams.
It’s about Love, not Licentiousness. Where is the sincerity and real concern in leaders? How many have publicly shown their disrespect for humanity with their immoral ways?
The Tea Party Movement is about Truth, not Totalitarianism. We will not be controlled by a leadership that has no respect for the truth.
It’s about Honest Government, not Gerrymandering, about Fairness, not Favoritism.
Down with redistricting for political gain, bribery of our Senators, closed door meetings, and pork barrel spending.
This movement is about Freedom, not Fascism. Government control of commerce, banking, business, and trade is now here.
Forcibly suppressing criticism or opposition has begun.
It must stop!
We want Economic Growth, not Ecologic Control.
The Tea Party Movement is about…
Opportunity, not Conformity.
It’s about Healthcare, not Welfare.
It’s about Moral Institution, not Wealth Redistribution.
It’s about Education, not Indoctrination.
Won’t you join us? Join us in the Tea Party!
Because we are not about Whining – we are about Winning.

The 28 Principles Of Liberty:
The 28 principles of liberty are fundamental beliefs held by the Founding Fathers of America, who said that they must be understood and perpetuated by us if we desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. These principles were derived from over 150 volumes of the Founding Fathers original writings, minutes, letters, and biographies, and are provided courtesy of the Center for Constitutional Studies.
- The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is natural law
- A free people cannot survive under a republican constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong
- The most promising method of securing a virtuous and morally stable people is to elect virtuous leaders
- Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained
- All things were created by God, and therefore upon Him all mankind are equally dependent, and to Him they are equally responsible
- All men are created equal
- The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not provide equal things
- Men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights
- To protect man’s rights, God has revealed certain principles of divine law
- The God given right to govern is vested in the sovereign authority of the whole people
- The majority of the people may alter or abolish a government which has become tyrannical
- The United States of America shall be a republic
- A Constitution should be structured to permanently protect the people from the human frailties of their rulers
- Life and liberty are secure only as long as the right of property is secure
- The highest level of prosperity occurs when there is a free market economy and a minimum of government regulations
- The government should be separated into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial
- A system of checks and balances should be adopted to prevent the abuse of power
- The unalienable rights of the people are most likely to be preserved if the principles of government are set forth in a written Constitution
- Only limited and carefully defined powers should be delegated to the government, all others being retained by the people
- Efficiency and dispatch require government to operate according to the will of the majority, but Constitutional provisions should protect the rights of the minority
- Strong local self-government is the keystone to preserving human freedoms
- A free people should be governed by law and not the whims of men
- A free society cannot survive as a republic without a broad program of general education
- A free people will not survive unless they remain strong
- Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none
- The core unit which determines the strength of any society is the family; therefore, the government should foster and protect its integrity
- The burden of debt is as destructive to freedom as the subjugation of conquest
- The United States of America has a manifest destiny to be an example and a blessing to the entire human race
