Montana State Tea Party Group States Coordinators for Montana Henry Kriegel - henry@bozemanteaparty.com Jay Anderson - jayanderson@wwdb.org

The Montana Shrugged Group is a grassroots TEA Party organization located in Billings, Montana. If you are as concerned as we are with higher taxes, higher energy costs, higher gasoline prices, nationalized health care, higher unemployment rates and infringements on your rights to freedom of speech and right to bear arms, then you are a candidate to join up with us and attend these Rallies. So, saddle up your horse and come on by. We are seriously concerned about these radical issues coming out of Washington D. C. They are going to seriously impact our standard of living and our independent freedoms. We have, as part of our charter, the ambition to educate the children and others about the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence. Our forefathers fought hard to defeat the tyranny of the King and setup a new world here which was free from the excessive controls of the aristocracy in England. Our grandfathers, fathers, sons and daughters still risk their lives to preserve the inalienable freedoms given to us by the Constitution. It is time for action.

Grassroots activism to move back to a government where the people are in control. *Less Government! *Lower Taxes! *Support for Small Business! *Individual Rights! *Secure Boarders! *End to Illegal Immigration/NO AMNESTY!!! *ETC...

This group is created for the purpose of providing a place for citizens concerned about fiscal responsibility and limited government to gather virtually and in person for the purpose of sharing ideas and communicating with elected officials and the general public about matters of concern.

A few of us had been thinking about starting a Tea Party for some time but never seemed to get around to it. It was a primary election and how that election was conducted that made us realize we could no longer sit on the side-lines complaining about how our government is out of control. It was time to get up and get involved. The Wheatland County Tea Party was born on the Fourth of July 2010. It is our goal to work in the best interest of our community and America by keeping a close eye on how our elected officials are conducting their (our) business. If citizens do not wake up, our children's future will be bleak. This country is broke and there is no end in sight, to the out of control spending.

Linda Johnson email: nwmtpatriots@aol.com (406)756-5457 - The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is 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.

We believe: The United States Constitution is the solution to all the problems our country is facing today. Our mission: To educate as many citizens as possible to this message of Constitutional principles as intended by our brilliant Founding Fathers. The result: When enough citizens understand the Constitution and what it is supposed to accomplish for the people, necessary change will come about.

We formed in November of 2009 and currently have monthly meetings with an average attendence of about 50 - 60. We have a strong leadership committee and have been very active in our local and State government.
