NEXT MEETING:
Time: 7:00pm
upcoming calendar @ www.planoteaparty.mojo4m.com

The Plano Tea Party will have a meeting on Tuesday, September 7 at 7PM at the Gladys Harrington Library, located at
1501 18th Street, Plano Texas 75074 United States (Collin County) Northeast Texas ...


We have tentatively invited Wayne Richard, as guest speaker, who is well loved and known in this part of Texas. Wayne will offer insight for each of us in the upcoming drive to remove the current Texas House Speaker, Joe Straus.

Joe Straus has forsaken conservative values and voted and appointed liberal committee persons who have NOT been in the better interests for Texas or Texans.

Please come and join us in this positive endeavor. YOU can make a difference.
No person is too small or insignificant to count or to make a difference.

We will also discuss the very powerful tool we have been given, GOTV, "Get Out The Vote" and the urgency with which this tool must be utilized. We have 6 weeks before the November 2 vote. We need to RALLY!!!!!

Bring a friend, neighbor, your college or high school students!

Our Principles:
Limited Government - As our Founding Fathers recognized, restraint of government is necessary to protect the liberties of the people.


Fiscal Responsibility - Government at all levels must learn to live within its means. To saddle future generations with the crushing burden of our excess spending is unconscionable.


Personal Responsibility - Liberty is unsustainable without responsibility. Each citizen must take responsibility for the consequences of his or her own actions while respecting the rights and dignity of others.


The Rule of Law - Consistent, independent and uniform application of the law is critical to a free and prosperous society.


National Sovereignty - We must maintain a strong national defense, effective security for our borders, and sole control over our land and our laws.

As grassroots activists, one of the most effective things we can do is stay in touch with our elected representatives. We must give them our opinions and hold them accountable for supporting our conservative values. Below is contact information for Federal and State elected officials in our zip code:

If you're like us, you know that good policy is really not all that complicated.  Experience and common sense teaches us, for example, that:

1. Spending money you don't have and have no hope of getting is a recipe for disaster.

 

2. More government is rarely the solution to a problem.

 

3. Each individual must take primary responsibility for his own well-being and that of his family.

 

4. Every judge and prosecutor has a duty to apply the law as it is written, and not as he or she wishes it could be.

 

5. The people of a nation should determine for themselves the laws which will govern their lives.

Although the above ideas are common sense to us, we have learned that they are not common sense to everyone.  Bigger government, larger debts, irresponsibility, emotional decisionmaking and internationalism seem to be the order of the day.

If you believe, as we do, in limited government, fiscal responsibility, personal responsibility, the rule of law and national sovereignty are encouraged to SIGN UP so that we can get you involved!
