Key topics today included "team Building" with Mark Herr from the Center For Self-Governance and a panel discussion on privacy issues with prior attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, ACLU Virginia Director of Public Policy and Communications Frank Knapp, and CoLA Committee [...]
Actions speaks louder than words….that’s the message that the St. Louis Tea Party wanted to communicate to the businesses (and families) of Ferguson Missouri, where riots following a police shooting had rocked that town. Tea Parties show their strength and can share their message more su...
As a conservative activist, sometimes its very depressing and disheartening to see the volume of funding against which we are fighting. Relying solely on donations and self-funding by our coordinator team, we’re always one wrong step away from being in perilous financial hardship (more so than...
I know that lots of tea party folks like Governor Mike Huckabee, but he’s actually not so great of a politician… his record as governor has some serious problems. I’ve always seen him (in my opinion) as a shyster…a used car salesman-type (no offense to ETHICAL used car salesm...
