The price of freedom is eternal vigilance - Thomas Jefferson
The Redlands Tea Party Patriots are citizens joined together with a concern that the country is being taken in the wrong direction. We understand that the United States is a republic and that We the People choose representatives to govern us and this land. It is therefore our responsibility to become educated about and engaged in the political process. We are the silent majority no more.
The Redlands Tea Party Patriots is a local chapter of the national organization Tea Party Patriots who encompass 160 groups here in California and over 2000 nationwide. We are a nonpartisan grassroots group united in our mission. The mission of the Redlands Tea Party Patriots is consistent with that of the national group to attract, educate, organize and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.
On April 15, 2009 (link to image page) we converged at the corner of Orange and Redlands Blvd in downtown Redlands. With flags flying and signs waving we united to make our voice heard. Although many in the (lame-stream) media would make light of the Tea Party movement the numbers and strength continue to mount. On April 15, 2010 (link to image page) we again joined together on that corner and with a voice of over 600 patriots again shared our views with those in power.
Welcome to the Redlands Tea Party
Spending Revolt National Bus Tour
Be a part of the STOP!
The Bus Tour STOP in Mentone 8/5 and the Administration Spending STOP in Washington 11/2.
The United States is in the midst of a massive spending crisis.
According to Spending Revolt, in the first 500 days of the current Administration, our national debt increased $2.2 trillion. We are adding a whopping $4.4 billion per day. And the federal government continues to spend at a rate of $112,000 per SECOND!
This rate of spending is irresponsible and unsustainable. It limits our economic growth and our ability to create new jobs. If we allow our elected officials to continue their spend first, pay later habits, we will face higher taxes, a higher cost of living, and a stagnant economy. And our children may never know the American dream.
President Reagan recognized that real and sustainable change must originate with American citizens. He harnessed the voices of individuals to transform government policy.
We welcome the Spending Revolt National Bus Tour to our general meeting on Thursday, August 5 - bus arrives at 6:30. We’ll be encouraging people to sign their bus trailer (as well as the actual petition) before the meeting. They’ll also speak for a few minutes near the start of the meeting before heading off to Palm Springs and then on to Phoenix, AZ. They will be traveling the country up through the election. Check them out at www.spendingrevolt.com
The Spending Revolt coalition seeks to permanently transform government spending through individual activism. Families across the country have been forced to make tough economic decisions. It is time our elected officials did the same. The Bus Tour is traveling the country calling attention to the problem of this outrageous federal spending. The Tour is organized by a partnership of Spending Revolt, Americans for Prosperity, Citizens Against Government Waste, 60 Plus, Concerned Women for America, and America Speaks On.
