14. TEA PARTY The Tea Party Movement is an all-inclusive American Grassroots movement with the belief that everyone is created equal and deserves an equal opportunity to thrive in these United Sates where they may pursue life, liberty and happiness as stated in the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States

Tea Party Platform • Eliminate Excessive Taxes • Eliminate National Debt • Eliminate Deficit Spending • Protect Free Markets • Abide by the Constitution of the United States • Promote Civic Responsibility • Reduce the Overall Size of Government • Believe in the People • Avoid the Pitfalls of Politics

18. The 912 Project The 912 Project is designed to bring us back to the place we were on September 12, 2001. The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States, or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created.

20. The 912 Project Principles • America is good • I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life • I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday • The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government • If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

21. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results • I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable • It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion • The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me

22. 912 Project Values • Honesty • Reverence • Hope • Thrift • Humility • Charity • Sincerity • Moderation • Hard Work • Courage • Personal Responsibility • Friendship

24. Ties that Bind Us Together • We all believe that America is the greatest nation ever created • We all understand that its greatness lies in the brilliance of the Constitution • We all understand that only by moving back to our Constitutional Values and Principles will our Republic survive • We understand that we are facing an ideological war for the very soul of our republic and that it is being attacked at its core by the “Left”

26. Makeover, not Takeover • GOP is the party of my grandparents, and my parents, but let’s face it, its aging and needs some renovation • Some think that the “Liberty Groups” want to tear down the party and the structure… NOT TRUE • Refresh, Restore & Rejuvenate: New Paint, New Blood, New Wiring, Pump the “Septic System”, Back to Core Values • What the “Liberty Groups” bring to the Party • “Liberty-nomics”

27. UNITED WE STAND • We must all work together in order to reverse the cancer of socialism attacking our country • Respect each others differences and respect alternative tactics • Always remember we have the same goals and are working toward the same end • We must stand united against ANYONE willing to compromise our liberties • We must find quality, conservative candidates to represent us in office
