Tracking Virginia legislation online
Virginia’s General Assembly begins Wednesday, January 9. And there are a few different ways to follow the bills online. And of course, you can track bills right here on this website through Richmond Tea Party’s Action Center!
Mob Rule
As in, “be careful what you wish for” Democracy has been accurately described as mob rule. Why? Because majority rule IS mob rule. The majority work their will on the minority, using force to do so. In the case of the mob, they just do what they want. In the case of democracy, they use [...]
The Tea Party Has Not Yet Begun to Fight
From Breitbart today, a story about the tea party’s current state of influence. Timely article given Speaker Boehner’s inability to get his “Plan B” bill passed, which would extend current tax rates on most Americans while increasing those making more than $1 million annually. From the article: If the Tea Party [...]
Your Tax Dollars Wasted Again – GM
Well, the auto industry bailout ended exactly as expected…total debacle. Remember how bailing out GM was an “investment”? Of course though, everyone realizes now that the bailout was simply a way to bailout the auto unions, and not to actually make GM more solvent. So here we are, several years later…and what do we get?

The “negative income tax” column [...]
House Leadership Purging Conservatives
Well, just more fuel for the fire. House Republicans are now working directly against you, purging conservatives from committee positions in the House. You see, you can’t have uncomfortable ideas like “fiscal responsibility” and “liberty” gaining foothold….no, those ideas must not be allowed to stand. So in moves that have taken the breath away from [...]
Health Ins. Exchanges: Challenges Ahead for Feds
Much discussion has ensued about whether a state should set up its own health insurance exchange under the Affordable Care Act or allow the federal government to do it. Fully 16 states have now decided not to set up an exchange, thus throwing a major monkey wrench in the fed’s plans. Feds face huge [...]
Eric Cantor Getting Weak-Kneed on Taxes?
Is House Leader Cantor getting weak-kneed on tax hikes? WHY can’t our politicians communicate a CONSERVATIVE vision? The proper answer is “we don’t have a revenue problem”. We don’t need to increase taxes; we need the republican house to actually grow a spine and reduce spending. Let’s not forget that he helped build the dreaded [...]
