Our founding fathers were very knowledgeable individuals. They were keenly aware of the causes of the failures of past republics and left us a roadmap not only in the Constitution but also in their public and private writings so as to prevent us from making the same mistakes of the past and guide us along the correct course toward an improved form of republican government. We, so far, have failed. Our citizenry has become ignorant and lazy. Our government has become corrupt and arrogant. Jefferson\'s prophetic \"convulsion\" seems to be drawing near [see Jefferson\'s Notes on the State of Virginia-Query XVII] It is time for a change and the only way to do so is through an enlightened citizenry willing to stand together to correct our course not for our sake but, as our founders always kept sight of, for the future. Come join us, learn, and make a difference. .

Join us on the 2nd Saturday of each month at CJ Lanes in Elkader, IA from 10 am - 12 pm and stay afterwards for some lunch. Our group motto - "Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain, but Only TOGETHER Can We Be Free!" Like all Tea Party Patriot groups, we support the following: Fiscal Responsibility, Limited Government and Free Markets. We are individual Americans of all political affiliations working together to restore a republican form of government where we are truly represented. We pledge to support and educate the public about individualist philosophies and agendas. We will ACTIVELY WORK to hold our local, state and federal governments to Constitutional Obedience in order to restore our sovereignty as Individuals as Iowans and as Americans. We will work diligently to find people who have high ethical and moral standards, who are Individualist minded and who are Constitutional Purists to fill public office from the local to the federal levels of government. People with those traits are our only chance to restore a republican form of government and keep us from falling into the hands of the global elite who want to continue the formation of a world government. We do not support the following: Un-Declared and Imperialist Wars, Fiat Currency - the Federal Reserve, The Patriot Act, Collectivist Philosophies and Agendas. In the event of a fiscal or other political crisis, we strive to be the group that people in the area look to for guidance.

This party is designed for the sole purpose of uniting a nation that is for the people and by the people. For this to truely be a free country, shouldn't the people who call it home be able to determine our own fates?
