Our group organized in April, 2010 and we had over 225 at our first meeting. We meet at the Best Western, Roan Steet, Johnson City, TN. 37660.We formed seven committees and we are trying to win some "wars" in our local area as well as State and Federal. The organizers are Doug and Kay White and they attend the County Commission meeting, city and all other Tea Party Meetings that are in the area when schedules permit. We are working to educate and elevate the truth of our Constitution. Brenda Osborne, a loyal member set up our web site and we have a very functional Educational committee which meets every Sat. morning for a round table dicussion at the Best Western at nine. We have been on television, radio and in the newspapers. We were able with the Greene County Tea Party to take 3 buses full to the Glenn Beck Rally. One of our organizers, Kay was interviewed at the Glenn Beck Rally by Alzazeera International Television where she spoke out against Sheriah law and told on television why - the next week she was received a letter from a Muslim in Africa! She immediately wrote back and told them we only needed to follow the law which we have, our Constitution and we did not NEED any other laws - just for our elected officials to follow the Constitution!

The Patriots of East Tennessee came together around one simple idea: supporting The United States of America based on 9 Principles and 12 Values. Glen Beck is responsible for the groups founding. He made a statement that "WE surround them". This fact is true. The Patriots of East Tennessee: Statement of purpose of our Group Network and act with like-minded people; following the 9.12 as a guide in how to conduct ourselves in achieving our goals. Goals: 1) Use our network to make contact with like minds, allowing us to gain knowledge and resources to affect our republic and one another 2) Promote and organize actions to bring information to more people 3) Act locally and influence nationally

"RESTORING AMERICA" "OUR MISSION STATEMENT" The United States of America was founded on One Nation Under God and the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitles us with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Our Founding Fathers instituted a Constitutional Government having its powers derived from the consent of the governed, we the people endeavor to organize and mobilize the Silent Majority to reclaim our rights as enumerated in the Constitution. Keeping in mind that the states and the people retain all functions that are not specifically delegated to the federal government. We here at North East Tennessee Tea Party are dedicated to the Preservation of "We Are Free People and a Free Nation." "OUR CORE PRINCIPLES" Freedom and Liberty To have Freedom and Liberty as our core principles, we must have: 1. Government by "We The People." 2. Principles above Parties. 3. Admittance to all who accepts our platform. These core principles will guide our decision making process to bring us back to a Constitutionally Sound Government.
