Hey, We’re Actually Good at This Community Organizing Thing
Two years ago, most of us had no idea what a “community organizer” was. But as then Senator Obama’s campaign started to accelerate and steamroll his opponents, we got a glimpse into the machine that had been carefully constructed for years to squash the liberty the Founders sacrificed so much to ensure. And after he [...]
More Obama Arrogance
So it turns out President Obama received roughly a million dollars of contributions from Goldman Sachs-affiliated executives and employees. Goldman Sachs is currently under public scrutiny for a potential $1 billion of fraud. Remind you of anything? From the Washington Examiner: Campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs employees to President Obama are nearly seven times as [...]
More Hints of Honest Journalism
Here’s the beginning of a fair-minded Washington Post article by Robert McCartney (a man who doesn’t happen to agree with much of our movement, by the way): I went to the “tea party” rally at the Washington Monument on Thursday to check out just how reactionary and potentially violent the movement truly was. Answer: Not very. Based on what [...]
Richmond Tea Party: Seeing is Believing
The following article is by Richmond Tea Party supporter Jill Finnie, who attended Thursday’s rally. RICHMOND – I was one of the thousands of concerned citizens who made my way to Kanawha Plaza for the April 15 Richmond Tea Party Tax Day rally, not sure what to expect. You might call me mildly political, [...]
Tea Parties Should be THANKING the President?
President Obama actually said this: Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser tonight, President Obama touted his administration’s tax cuts and said that the recent tea party rallies across the nation have “amused” him. “You would think they should be saying thank you,” the president said to applause. Really? I suppose if 95% of us actually did [...]
Tea Parties Come Together Nationally For Media Collaboration
Today, the Richmond Tea Party joined with other like-minded Tea Parties across the United States to form the National Tea Party Federation (NTPF), whose singular purpose is to collaborate and strategize on media messaging. The NTPF will present a unified message and media response among Tea Party groups. This is NOT an attempt to centralize Tea [...]
An Honest Reporter…From CNN?
When I first read this, I thought I was being set up for a joke. But it’s no joke—CNN reporter Shannon Travis is covering the Tea Party movement with honesty, fairness, and what seems to be some degree of admiration. Travis reports But here’s what you don’t often see in the coverage of Tea Party rallies: [...]
Paul Ryan Gets It
Like you, I’m skeptical of what our politicians tell us these days. But I must say that Congressman Paul Ryan—who became the face of reasoned opposition to the destructive health care legislation—has shown with this article that he fully understands the current assault on our freedoms. The article is long, but I urge all of [...]
Tea Party Also Beating the President
After a recent poll showing that Americans identify more with the Tea Party than with members of Congress, Rasmussen brings us this: On major issues, 48% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is closer to their views than President Barack Obama. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% hold [...]
Women are Leading the Charge
The media continues to languish months to years behind the reality curve, reporting facts long after we in the Tea Party have known them. In the latest example, they’re just figuring out that we aren’t simply a bunch of angry, white males after all: Many of the tea party’s most influential grass-roots and national leaders [...]
