We have received inquiries from many of you asking this very question. If you search the Internet you can find lots of information. If we look at the Constitution, in Article I, Section 2 states, [An] Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and [...]
We need help paying for the Tax Day Rally. We promise to use your money more wisely than Congress!
Protest tomorrow at State Capitol, Bell Tower at 11am. We will be protesting the State Senate trying to bury our 10th Amendment bill, the Firearm Freedom Act (HB69).

We are trying to mobilize for a last-minute protest on Monday at the State Capitol against the Senate burying our 10th Amendment bill, Firearm Freedom Act (HB69) AND against the 24% tax increase on all phone lines.

Delegate Bob Marshall has been a tireless champion of our 10th amendment legislation in Virginia and had therefore been given an invitation to speak at the upcoming April 15th Tax Day Rally to talk about the huge successes of this legislation. Though the Richmond Tea Party is a grassroots organization that champions fiscal restraint, constitutional [...]
HB69 has now been referred to the Senate Courts of Justice Committee, which is NOT a favorable committee for us. It contains an overwhelming majority of Democrats and moderate Republicans. The Committee is made up of 10 Democrats and 5 Republicans (with only one true conservative). We can probably count on Hurt, Obenshain, and probably [...]
