As a Tea Partier it has bothered me that we should jump through so many government mandated hoops to hold a protest. Should we allow them to […]

On the eve of a squeaker election where the Republicans only barely took control of the Virginia Senate, thanks in large part to the Tea Party, we get this lovely gem: Bob McDonnell is supporting George Allen. Primary be damned! Once again the ruling elites within the party will be doing everything they can to [...]
I wanted to make sure that the contribution of the Tea Party wasn’t lost in this latest election. A large portion of the victory in these 2011 elections was because of Tea Party groups across the state. In the case of Bill Stanley (20th State Senate District) it was the Danville, Lynchburg, Southside, and Franklin [...]
