Fiscal Responsibility by government honors and respects the freedom of the individual to spend the money that is the fruit of their own labor.

A constitutionally limited government, designed to protect the blessings of liberty, must be fiscally responsible or it must subject its citizenry to high levels of taxation that unjustly restrict the liberty our Constitution was designed to protect.

Such runaway deficit spending in Washington D.C. compels us to take action.

The increasing national debt is a grave threat to our national sovereignty and the personal and economic liberty of future generations.

Constitutionally-Limited Government

We, the members of The Tea Party Patriots, are inspired by our founding documents.

We regard the Constitution of the United States to be the supreme law of the land.

We believe that it is possible to know the original intent of the government our founders set forth, and stand in support of that intent.

Like the founders, we support states' rights for those powers not expressly stated in the Constitution.

As the government is of the people, by the people and for the people, in all other matters we support the personal liberty of the individual, within the rule of law.

Free Markets

A free market is the economic consequence of personal liberty.

Our current government's interference distorts the free market and inhibits the pursuit of individual and economic liberty.

Therefore, we support a return to the free market principles on which this nation was founded and oppose government intervention into the operations of private business.
