Tipton County Tea Party was founded in February/March 2009 and is part of the grassroots Tea Party Movement. We are patriotic Tipton County citizens who are concerned about the direction our country is heading. We gather together to preserve our Constitution and our great Republic from destruction at the hands of far left wing radical politicians who put Personal Self Interest and Party Power before the best interests of the American people. It is shameful what our own politicians are doing to our Republic, our economy and our freedoms! In the spirit of the Sons of Liberty in Boston, who in 1773 protested the British government by dumping tons of tea into Boston harbor, we strive to protect the individual liberties of every American through Tea Party Protests and grassroots activism. Our children and grandchildren are relying on us to make the tough choices and take the actions necessary to restore their freedoms and preserve our free Republic. We must be good stewards of their future, and of our Republic. Come join us in this noble cause!
