This last decade has been one of incredible changes at lightning speed. Some of these changes have been good ones, some not so good, as with all things, change happens and we adjust as part of life. In some cases, there are malignant changes that threaten the stability and viability of a people. In these last 10 years, we have witnessed these malignant threats and so nihilistic were some of the changes, we rose in unison to counter it [...]
The 2019 10th Anniversary Virginia Tea Party Summit was a wonderful and spirited event. I am very proud of the good hard work invested in providing an event worthy of our 10th anniversary. It was the priority for your executive council that we deliver something special and I am very proud to report that it was mission accomplished. The feedback from the faithful came overwhelmingly positive. We have a great team, a historic freedom movement and a good network of [...]
It's been 10 years since the Tea Party's miraculous rise from nowhere to forge a new chapter in American History. 10 years is a good milepost to take stock and look back. But before we look at the history we made, it is just as important to look at the friendships that were forged in the crucible of our freedom movement. It is in those friendships that the humanity of our movement lies and it is these friendships that will [...]
Remember a time when there was no Tea Party. Remember when there was no freedom movement that sliced and diced its way to relevance and influence? A movement that shook the wall of establishment politics until its very foundations cracked and crumbled. A decade ago, I remember feeling alone. And we all were alone separately without even a bridge to connect us. Next Month, we gather together for our summit in this our 10 anniversary edition of the intrepid and [...]
Our Tea Party freedom movement exploded on the national stage just in the nick of time. Like the cavalry, we arrived when the threat to our Republic was critically dire, spitting fire and brimming with passion. It has been a very engaging and tumultuous journey, and now, in our 10th year, we should take stock in what we have done, what we are doing and what we look to do. We should also look to one another. Many of us [...]
Many of our young have been mesmerized by the promise of this "new and improved" ideology with the promise of all things free with a heavy dose of class and race warfare mixed in for good measure. They have been taught that it is exciting to get even with the achievers and, to not have to pay for things, is a nice added bonus. It is In with the new, out with the old. Life is good! Well, [...]
Reflections on February 19, 2009 by Deborah Giffin, Treasurer, Virginia Tea Party Where were you in February 2009? We you worried about the national debt? Were you worried about The Great Recession, keeping your home and job? Obama was sworn in as President January 20, and he signed the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, $787 Billion, on February 17. On February 19, Rick Santelli of CNBC gave an epic rant regarding the Fed, markets, and money from the floor of [...]
It was 2009. It was the best of times for those who cheered for hope and change. For a few, it was the worst of times. For these few, it began as a time of great despair and hopelessness. And for these few, America still remained a Republic wedded to the Constitution. America had just voted for President the most radical Democrat in the Senate. He had the background to make him the most subversive President in American history. [...]
