THE OFFICIAL AUSTIN TEA PARTY
We do not support secession!

"Limited Government or Limited Freedom"
A Message from ...
Austin Tea Party Patriots and Texas Tea Party Patriots |
As most of you know, we stepped away from tea party activities in late March of this year, not because we no longer believed in tea party principles - they are needed now more than ever - but because we needed the time to spend with our family. Our youngest son will be graduating from high school and heading to college this fall. Life is often about responsibilities and priorities, and we do the best we can to know ours.
We encourage others to continue the tea party grassroots message. We know that tea parties have found it tough sledding on their own and they have often chosen to align themselves with large state-wide or national organizations to buttress their resources and help guide their message. We caution against too much reliance on such organizations, many of whom seem very GOP-centric to us. It seems to us that it would be better to keep your organization non-partisan, small, underfunded and passionate than to give up control and direction to folks who do not necessarily share the same agenda as your local community. Just our two cents.
God bless Texas and the United States of America!

"There are young men and women risking their lives all around this planet - in uniform, the state department, in the intelligence community - so we can be free. Don't tell me how much you have given. Don't tell me how tired ysou are. Don't tell me how frustrating it is. This country was created by people who were willing to say, "Victory or death," while marching in burlap bags in the middle of a snow storm. We're going to have to find those people, again, to run in 513,000 offices - in both parties. We are going to have to isolate, and crush the secular socialist left, and we're going to have to replace their failed systems with systems that succeed. This is what George Washington would have approved of, and this is what you need to take seriously for the next three years, so that we can give our children and grandchildren the greatest, freest, and most prosperous country in history."

The Right Agenda.
CORE VALUES
- Fiscal Responsibility
- Limited Government
- Free Markets
MISSION STATEMENT
The Austin Tea Party Patriots are a diverse group of individuals united by shared core values. We believe in Fiscal Responsibility, Limited Government, and Free Markets, and we recognize the strength of grassroots organizing powered by activism and civic responsibility at a local level. The Austin Tea Party Patriots' mission is to organize those who believe in our core values, to educate and inform others who presently do not understand or promote our core values, to advocate public policy consistent with those values, and to support the efforts of political candidates and officeholders who foster our values in government. We recognize that many in our society require assistance in these troubled economic times and are committed to helping our brothers and sisters through private charities and personal engagement rather than through wasteful governmental programs.
TALKING POINTS
The Austin Tea Party Patriots' core values are the values on which America was founded. Born from our shared experience and our belief in natural law, these values are centered on our reliance on free will and the primacy of an individual who is responsible for his/her own actions.
- An individual who is personally responsible will be fiscally and socially responsible.
- An individual who is personally responsible will make better decisions for his/her country and community than an overgrown federal government
- An individual who is personally responsible will productively respond to and interact with the marketplace
RATIONALE
The impetus for the Austin Tea Party Patriots' movement has been our desire to roll back excessive government spending. The growing perception among the American people that the runaway federal budget will drastically affect generations to come binds us together as a group and gives us the ability to unite a super majority of American voters. While we recognize that the nation faces important social as well as economic issues, our focus remains on excessive governmental spending.
With respect to social issues, we believe in limited government, and so we are confident that those issues are best decided at the state and local levels. Our stance on government is rooted in the principles of Federalism enshrined in our Constitution. Since our organization is grassroots and built in the homes of Americans across the country, we can unite on our shared core values and address other social and economic concerns at the local level if we choose to do so.
If our events, correspondence, websites, and interviews consistently reflect our central message of "fiscal responsibility, limited government, free markets" then we will be united on the national and international front. Our united front is critical for enlightening and encouraging Americans to inform the federal government that the government that governs least often governs best. |
