Welcome
Our country is unlike any other on earth. The freedoms we take for granted in America are often times nonexistent in other parts of the world. We are free to speak our minds, bear arms, own property, and pursue happiness to our satisfaction. We are free to practice whatever religion we choose or practice no religion at all. These are but a few of our many liberties, liberties brave men and women have died to protect. The mission of the T.E.A. Party is to protect and preserve our republic. We believe in the power of the individual and free markets to improve the quality of human life. We believe that equality should not be confused with entitlements. We support a tax structure that encourages private sector growth, not government dependency. The Tea Party movements across our great nation share similar values and principles that enable us to speak collectively as one voice to those within our government that seek to control us as a people. We conservatives, from all parties are now watching.We are not with one party. We are for All Americans from All Parties and All walks of life as conservative citizens of the U.S.A.

Joe Walsh Calls Pat Quinn A 'Tool': Tea Party Congressman Slams Illinois Governor

U.S. Rep Joe Walsh (left) slammed Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn (right) during a Tea Party event in Darien, Ill. on Jan. 12.
U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh has been a vocal critic of everyone from President Obama to "typical" Republicans, and during a Tea Party meeting in Darien, Ill. last week, he directed his anger toward Illinois Governor Pat Quinn.
“This governor, Gov. Quinn, is a tool,” Walsh said, according to The Doings suburban newspaper. “This state is an embarrassment. People are leaving in droves because of taxes and regulations. One man runs this state, and it’s not Gov. Quinn; it’s (House Speaker) Mike Madigan.”
Walsh isn't the only high-profile Illinoisian to call the state an "embarrassment" in recent weeks. After the state's credit rating was downgraded to the worst in the country, CBOE CEO Bill Brodsky told reporters that he was "embarrassed" to live here. Brodsky, whose company will save an estimated $6 million annually following a tax break approved by Quinn, said the city of Chicago is making economic strides, but the state is floundering.
Quinn, who approved a 66 percent personal income tax hike in Illinois around this time last year, also took heat from state GOP lawmakers last week. On the one-year anniversary of the tax hike, House Minority Leader Tom Cross said the tax increase was passed because lawmakers thought it would balance or drastically improve the state's budget -- which has not happened.
“It needs to be done in a bipartisan way, all of this needs to be done in a bipartisan way. But, at this point, some of these critical [issues] have not been addressed by the Democrat leaders,” Cross said, according to CBS Chicago.
Before Quinn-bashing, Rep. Walsh told Tea Party supporters that they should vote Republican no matter who wins the GOP primary, calling the party "the only game in town."
“I’m one of 22 Republicans who voted no every single time this year,” Walsh said, according to The Doings. “We need to double that number. Our Republican Party lost its way, and we have to get our party back.

Where's the TeaParty?
This week's newsletter asks a question that makes Democratsrefuse to accept reality. They really, really want to believe theParty line that Tea Parties are a thing of the past. Oh really!
Freedom21 Board Member, Fred Gielow,offers reminders that it was Republicans who freed the slaves and ledevery other initiative to bring blacks into the mainstream. Democrats,wake up and read history. Where was the Democratic Party during the1964 civil rights struggles?
A new movement is rising. It is TheFreedom Movement . Environmentalists became a "movement" inthe 1970s and have had profound impact on both law and culture. TheFreedom Movement, now rising, will have an even greater impact on lawand culture as it becomes more identifyable and effective.
The T.E.A. Party is alive and well! As you all know.
