How refreshing it is to see a US senator speaking out against his own legislative body! The Senate makes its own rules, and then routinely ignores them. He also points out how the Senate is playing a shell game by moving money around to pay for various items, thus being disingenuous to the American people [...]

The following is a guest post by Cynthia Howerter, a new volunteer for Richmond Tea Party. This post originally ran May 7, 2012 on her blog, SOAR WITH EAGLES. She wrote it and e-mailed it around, knowing that if we don't gather enough people to stand against an out-of-control government NOW, we will soon no [...]
An excerpt from my op-ed "Tea Party Rebels" that ran in Tea Party Brief over the weekend: With Big-Government progressives taking over virtually every facet of American influence, including both major political parties, they have dramatically expanded the power of government at all levels. As a result, the Left now embodies everything they once despised [...]
Give Me Liberty, or Give Me ObamaCare! Supremes to Consider ObamaCare This Week by Joe Guarino, chairman, Richmond TEA Party An obvious play on Patrick Henry’s famous quote—“Give me liberty, give me death!”—this is the essential crux of the battle over the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a., ObamaCare. Do we Americans desire the liberty on which [...]

Okay, I’ve been trying to get you pumped about the Ebony & Ivory Two Nekkid Heads all-day event next Thursday (May 5th) in Richmond, but now I’m going to explain its importance to the greater freedom movement in America and why it’s critical you participate. One of the big reasons our nation is in such [...]
I’ve been telling people lately that the Big-Government machine, well-funded and gargantuan as it is, can’t ultimately defeat freedom-loving Americans, as long as we are principled, informed, and engaged. We have the numbers and the passion on our side. And why wouldn’t we? Our core principles of constitutionally limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets [...]
So what’s wrong with a big government? That’s the question our critics ask. According to their logic, the purpose of any government is to provide for the general welfare of its citizens, which is exactly what the preamble of our Constitution says. Then, if that’s the case, our critics contend it’s only logical that the more [...]
This story broke last week, but if you haven’t heard about it, it’s important you do. If you ever doubted there was a coordinated plot to take down the capitalist system in America, well, you can doubt no more. From Business Insider: A former official of one of the country's most-powerful unions, SEIU, has a [...]
No surprise there--the Senate is still controlled by Democrats pretending that recent election didn't happen. Eight Republicans voted against the ban as well, which also isn't surprising, considering the Republican Party is still populated with many Big Government believers who have no qualms about purchasing votes at taxpayer expense. Fortunately, the Republicans in the House DID vote to [...]
He says we can't go back to the failed policies of the past. He's right. Of course, those failed policies of the past are also the wildly failing policies of the present, all championed by him. From Reason TV: So today, vote for those candidates who love our Constitution and will advance limited government, and [...]
