Earlier today, our Marketing/Media Committee Chairman, Chuck Hansen, participated in a live chat with Jeff Schapiro from the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Chuck did an excellent job answering questions and discussing the Richmond Tea Party and its goals. Read the entire chat here.

Our own Craig Comess has an excellent column in today's Times-Dispatch about constitutional adherence. Check it out: If Congress can require us to purchase health care, what is there to stop lawmakers from requiring that we all get regular medical checkups, join a gym, or start a government-approved diet if we exceed a certain body/mass [...]
No comments necessary on this new video from Ben Howe:
I’m not surprised that support for ObamaCare continues to plunge and that it’s a major problem for Democrats who voted for it – I’ve posted about this several times already – but even I underestimated just how much Americans despise this bill and tie their votes to where candidates stand on this single issue.

RTP has had some questions about our involvement in the VA-9 race and lack of coordination for the 9/12 event. As I said before, we support both efforts, but in light of this discussion, I want to highlight a recent Washington Examiner op-ed written by Mark Llyod -- chairman of the Lynchburg Tea Party and [...]
An excellent new resource was just made available for helping proponents of constitutionally limited government organize their get-out-the-vote efforts more effectively than we have in the past to have a real impact on elections. It’s called the Concord Project and is found at www.concordproject.org. For a detailed post about this initiative, click here.
