The Lull before The Gathering Storm

By |2020-06-25T21:54:47-04:00September 16th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Events, Featured, Government, Politics|

I have always felt blessed to be able to recognize the good and the eternal truths from the bad and deranged and not be confused over the confusion of others. The Tea Party and other patriot groups have been steadfast in their knowing and defending their convictions and their foundational principals. They have stayed the course over the last 10 years in the face of unprecedented attacks and, in some cases, up close and personal destruction. Whether by weaponized powerful [...]

Why We Might Lose the Virginia House and Senate

By |2020-12-23T09:28:05-05:00August 20th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Congress, Elections, Government, Politics|

By Susan Lascolette There’s no doubt that the Virginia House and Senate are operating under razor-thin political margins – a 2-seat difference in the Senate and a 1-seat difference in the House.  The elections on November 5th may be a tipping point. In the Senate: Eleven of the Democratic Senator candidates are running unopposed and another five have only an independent challenger.  In contrast, only one Republican Senator candidate is running unopposed and another four have just an independent [...]

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 [...]

Summit’s Eve

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 [...]

Our Coming Together

By |2019-05-19T02:22:19-04:00May 14th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Featured, Government, Politics|

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 [...]

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 [...]
