The Lone Star Tea Party is a non-partisan tea party coalition that's fed up with the direction this country is headed, wants to preserve the U.S. Constitution and limit the government to the powers granted therein. The coalition consists of the following conservative groups in North Texas. Allen Area Patriots, Burleson Tea Party, Carrolton Tea Party, Dallas 912 Project, Dallas Tea Party, Denton 912, Ellis County Conservatives, Flower Mound tea Party, Fort Worth 912 Project, Frisco Tea Party, Garland Tea Party, Irving Tea Party, Mansfield Tea Party, McKinney Tea Party, NE Tarrant Tea Party, North Central Texas-Tea Party, North Texas Tea Party, Plano Tea Party, Richardson Tea Party, Texoma Patriots, The Boiling Point Keller, We The People of Ellis County, and the Weatherford Tea Party.

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 help you find like-minded citizens in your same area.

"The 9-12 Project is designed to bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001. The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States or political parties. We were united as Americans . . . ." If you agree with at least 7 of the 9 Principles, this is the group for you. 9 Principles: 1. America is Good. 2. I believe in God & He is the Center of my Life. 3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. 4. The family is sacred. My spouse & I are the ultimate authority, not the government. 5. If you break the law, you pay the penalty. Justice is blind & no one is above it. 6. I have a right to life, liberty & pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results. 7. I work hard for what I have & I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. 8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. 9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me. The 12 Values: 1. Honesty 2. Reverence 3. Hope 4. Thrift 5. Humility 6. Charity 7. Sincerity 8. Moderation 9. Hard Work 10. Courage 11. Personal Responsibility 12. Gratitude

Dallas is one of the original tea party groups and has grown consistently through events and our neighborhood coordinator program. Our goal is to help elect fiscally conservative leaders in the primaries and general elections.
