As expected, the path to justice in our IRS lawsuit will be bumpy. We learned Thursday that our consolidated lawsuit (41 groups) against the IRS for targeting the Richmond Tea Party was dismissed by the federal district court in DC (shocker, I know). From our attorney, the American Center for Law & Justice: Yesterday a [...]
RTP held its monthly meeting Thursday night, with the primary focus on a presentation about Common Core education standards.

Joining us for the evening and offering a [...]
Click below for an interview with Reagan George from the Virginia Voters Alliance, discussing election fraud subjects such as duplicate registrations across multiple states and shenanigans involving ballots by mail. Without confidence in our elections, everything falls apart. Segment is around 20 minutes in length. https://soundcloud.com/monticellomedia/0800-interview-with-reagan-george-of-va-voters-alliance?in=monticellomedia%2Fsets%2Fjoe-thomas-podcasts
The numbers are not adding up regarding Capital Improvement Plans in Chesterfield County, to the point that the Chesterfield Observer is now covering the controversy. There's millions of dollars in funding that to-date can't be properly explained...and when I say "funding" I mean "your money". And school system spokesman Tim Bullis wasn't interested in answering [...]
Interesting article today on Conservative Review detailing how House Speaker John Boehner may be about to launch an attack on House conservatives. If the republicans pick up some House seats in November using squishy moderate candidates, Boehner may begin to get the numbers he needs to partner with democrats to ram through whatever part of [...]

As many of you know, we (the Richmond Tea Party) were targeted by the IRS for unfair (criminal) scrutiny when applying for our 501(c)(4) non-profit status. As part of that application process, we received demands to turn over our donor lists and for personal and private information about RTP leadership and our families. Keeping donor [...]
On Thursday night (8/28/2014), RTP held its monthly meeting for August. First on the agenda was to present recently departed Executive Director Larry Nordvig with a small gift of appreciation for his service, and to wish him well in his next adventures. Larry commented that he'll still be around and can be reached if needed, [...]
Actions speaks louder than words....that's the message that the St. Louis Tea Party wanted to communicate to the businesses (and families) of Ferguson Missouri, where riots following a police shooting had rocked that town. Tea Parties show their strength and can share their message more successfully when taking ACTION, not just commiserating about how the [...]
As a conservative activist, sometimes its very depressing and disheartening to see the volume of funding against which we are fighting. Relying solely on donations and self-funding by our coordinator team, we're always one wrong step away from being in perilous financial hardship (more so than any normal day). Now to see hundreds of thousands [...]
