with the nationwide Tea Party Movement.

We are non-partisan.  We are non-violent.  We strive for civil discourse and mutual respect.  We debate positions and policies; we don’t demonize people or groups.  No personal attacks.  We refrain from vulgarities.

Our goal is to foster knowledge, discourse and citizen action among the public in matters pertaining to both The Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, and their relationship to current events and pending legislation.

We support a limited, constitutional government that is transparent and accountable to the citizens. We do not want to weaken our positions by stretching the truth, resorting to unfounded rumors, or fabrications.  Easily verifiable facts are readily available and sufficient to make our case.

We believe that a Creator exists.  That the Creator gave us our rights.  That government has a moral responsibility to protect those rights.  When government fails to protect those rights, the Creator empowered the people to abolish that government and establish a new one. (“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.  That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.  That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government....”)

We believe our Founding Fathers’ religious faith and principles were intrinsic to their vision for America and remain intrinsic to the future of our nation.
