New Tea Party Patriots Action Poll: Americans Optimistic on Trump’s Leadership, Want Swift Action on Trump’s Agenda
February 7, 2025 Atlanta, GA – According to a new poll released today by Tea Party Patriots Action, a significant majority of Americans support President Trump’s agenda on spending cuts, the economy, immigration, and other crucial issues. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Americans support President Trump’s agenda, and it’s time for the politicians and bureaucrats to recognize that and either get on board or get out of the way. Our new poll shows broad, bipartisan support for President Trump's agenda – an important reality check for the Beltway elites who are already trying to thwart the president, and proof positive that Americans want to get control of Washington’s reckless borrowing and spending and prevent the massive tax hike Democrats want. "Our new poll shows that approximately four-in-five voters agree that Congress and the President must rein in Washington’s reckless borrowing and spending to lower inflation and bring down grocery prices (79% agree,12% disagree). Seven-in-ten voters support Congress and the President taking action to extend the current tax policy to prevent a tax hike (71% support, 15% oppose). A large majority of voters want accountability – two-in-three voters prefer that Members of Congress vote on creating regulations rather than unelected bureaucrats (67% support, 11% oppose). Three-in-five voters say that Congress has an obligation to the American people to secure the border before taking their extended recess in April (62% support, 25% oppose). A majority of voters say they expect to be better off over the next four years now that President Trump is in office (50% agree, 38% disagree). "Our organization was founded on the principles of individual liberty, fiscal responsibility, and limited government. That’s what President Trump wants, and that’s what the American people support – our new poll proves...
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Confirm Bondi
February 4, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The full Senate is expected to vote on Pam Bondi’s nomination for Attorney General this week. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “It’s time to ensure that no American is targeted by a Department of Justice weaponized against political opponents, and to ensure that the law is applied equally to all. Consequently, we at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Pam Bondi for Attorney General. “After four years of the corrupt Merrick Garland at the helm, the Department of Justice is a mess. Pam Bondi will rededicate the DOJ to its original mission — fair and equal application of the law for all Americans. Under Attorney General Bondi, there will no longer be partisan-fueled lawfare against conservatives and law-abiding Americans, which is a top priority for our activists. “Tea Party Patriots Action worked closely with Bondi during President Trump's first impeachment trial, when she consistently joined our weekly calls to activists mobilizing opposition to impeachment. Those who watched Bondi's Senate confirmation hearing learned what Tea Party Patriots Action's activists already know: Pam Bondi is smart, honest, and fearless. She will be an excellent Attorney General." For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Begin Draining the Swamp by Confirming Vought
February 4, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The full Senate is expected to vote on Russ Vought's nomination for OMB Director this week. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “It’s time to drain the swamp. We at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Russ Vought's nomination for OMB Director. Vought is a principled conservative who has the smarts and fearlessness to shrink and reform the federal government. He has extensive experience in Congress and the first Trump Administration, including serving as OMB Director in 2020. He is the right man at the right time. “Spending and borrowing are out of control in Washington, and our activists are demanding significant changes to get our fiscal house in order. Russ Vought recognizes these challenges and will do everything it takes to Save America, in conjunction with the President, other Administration leaders, and the Congress. “Russ Vought will be an outstanding OMB Director, and he deserves confirmation with bipartisan support."

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senators to Support Patel
January 29, 2025 Atlanta, GA – On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a confirmation hearing with FBI Director nominee Kash Patel. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Kash Patel for FBI Director. For over a decade, the FBI has been going after law-abiding Americans for partisan purposes. They have gone after Catholics, parents who attend school board meetings, and pro-life protesters who peacefully demonstrate outside abortion clinics, among many other Americans. Tea Party Patriots Action itself was a victim of the weaponization of government during the Obama administration's infamous IRS scandal. The FBI is in desperate need of reform, and Kash Patel will deliver that reform. As a former chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee, Patel exposed the FBI’s abuse of power under the Biden administration, and has vowed to combat the corruption that’s eroded public trust in the bureau. He has the drive and determination to change the FBI into what it needs to be – a politically-neutral law enforcement agency, protecting every American from threats domestic and foreign. Patel is an outstanding nominee for FBI Director and he deserves the support of every senator." For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate Judiciary Committee to Approve Bondi
January 29, 2025 Atlanta, GA – On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Pam Bondi for Attorney General. Bondi's career experience spans the entire range of public service as an attorney, including service as Florida's most senior law enforcement officer. As the Attorney General for America's third-largest state, Bondi demonstrated a commitment to equal application of the law – exactly what is sorely needed now at the top of the Justice Department, which, under Merrick Garland, has been plagued by partisanship and been deployed as an institutional weapon against political opponents. “Tea Party Patriots Action worked closely with Bondi during President Trump's first impeachment trial, when she consistently joined our weekly calls to activists mobilizing opposition to impeachment. Those who watched Bondi's Senate confirmation hearing learned what Tea Party Patriots Action's activists already knew: Pam Bondi is smart, honest, and fearless. She will be an excellent Attorney General." For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Confirm Hegseth
January 23, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The full Senate is expected to vote on Pete Hegseth's nomination for Defense Secretary this week. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every Senator to vote for Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary. The President, as Commander in Chief, deserves trust when it comes to picking his Defense Secretary, and Pete Hegseth is an outstanding choice: he is a decorated combat veteran, a former executive director of two veterans' organization, and the face of the nationwide movement to dismantle woke indoctrination within the Pentagon. Woke indoctrination is a major reason for America's military recruitment crisis, giving urgency to fixing that issue. After four years of the disastrous Lloyd Austin at the helm, Pete Hegseth will be a major upgrade, fulfilling President Trump's national security agenda, protecting our nation from those who wish to do us harm, and doing right by our brave servicemen and women in uniform."

Tea Party Patriots Action Agrees with Archivist and the Law: Biden Is Wrong on ERA
January 17, 2025 Atlanta, GA – On Friday, President Biden declared that he believes that the Equal Rights Amendment has met the requirements of ratification and therefore is now part of the Constitution. The archivist of the United States, a Biden appointee, has until now refused to formally publish the amendment on the grounds that it has not met Constitutional requirements. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Joe Biden’s declaration that he believes the Equal Rights Amendment has been ratified by 38 states is, like so many of the things he has said over the course of a 50-plus year career, simply wrong. This desperate last-minute attempt to curry favor with so-called ‘women’s groups’ is laughable on its face, especially coming from the leader of a political party many of whose leading lights, including its most recent Supreme Court nominee, cannot define what a ‘woman’ is in the first place. “Less than a month ago, the two senior officials of the National Archives — Biden appointees — released a statement declaring their firm stance that the proposed amendment has not met the requirements for ratification. Their stance relies, as they point out, on, among other things, legal opinions written by the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice in 2020 and 2022, again under the direction of Biden's own appointees. “The Archivist is right. The law is clear. “Biden’s statement has no legal force. It is nothing more than a last-ditch attempt to woo certain elements of the American body politic. Like so much of what he has attempted, it, too, will fail.” For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action: Meetings Between DOGE Leaders & Congressional Leaders Should Lead to Savings for Taxpayers + Better Delivery of Government Services
December 5, 2024 Atlanta, GA – Today, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, and other DOGE leaders are meeting with Senate and House Republicans to discuss savings in federal spending and ways to deliver government services more efficiently. DOGE leaders are also meeting with Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), founder and chair of the Senate DOGE Caucus, along with members of that caucus. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The federal government does too much and costs too much, and it doesn’t deliver government services efficiently. We need change. We at Tea Party Patriots Action applaud Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy for hitting the ground running and working to build alliances on Capitol Hill so DOGE can help make that change. “Tea Party Patriots Action was founded on the principles of smaller government and reining in government spending, so we couldn’t be more excited as Elon and Vivek dive into their challenging work of making the government smaller, less costly, and more efficient. “In November, Tea Party Patriots Action released a survey showing strong public support for DOGE and government employee efficiency. The survey, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, found that 71% of Americans support DOGE and 65% of Americans support firing government employees who do not return to their office post-pandemic. “DOGE’s existence is supported by 79% of Republicans, 64% of Democrats, and 68% of Independents. So DOGE’s existence has broad, bipartisan support. “We appreciate the work that Elon and Vivek are doing, and we are confident that today’s meetings will keep the momentum going.” For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action Poll: Strong Support for DOGE, Government Employee Efficiency
November 25, 2024 Atlanta, GA – Today, Tea Party Patriots Action released a post-election survey it commissioned McLaughlin & Associates to conduct. The survey shows strong support for DOGE and government employee efficiency. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The poll that Tea Party Patriots Action commissioned shows that 70.7% of Americans support DOGE and 65.4% of Americans support firing government employees who do not return to their office post-pandemic. “DOGE's existence is supported by 78.6% of Republicans, 64.0% of Democrats, and 68.0% of Independents. So DOGE's existence has broad, bipartisan support. “When it comes to the federal workforce, only 50% of government employes have returned to the office post-pandemic. Getting these employees back to the office where they belong is important for government efficiency, as Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy point out in their recent Wall Street Journal op-ed. According to our poll, 75.6% of Republicans, 54.6% of Democrats, and 64.6% of Independents agree with Elon and Vivek. So reforming the federal workforce has strong, bipartisan support, as well. “As an organization founded on the principles of smaller government and reining in government spending, we support Elon and Vivek as they begin their important work making the government smaller, less costly, and more efficient." The post-election survey was conducted on November 7. The full question wordings and results are below. "We are now more than four years from the height of the Covid pandemic, and America’s largest companies, including Apple, Google, and Starbucks, have insisted that employees return to the office to work. Small companies like local gas stations and restaurants also have employees working in person. 2.87 million civilians work in the federal government, yet 50% of those employees have yet to return to the office. These federal employees...
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges House to Pass the CR+SAVE Act Package
September 17, 2024 Atlanta, GA – On Wednesday, the House is scheduled to vote on a Continuing Resolution that includes the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE Act). This legislation mandates that states obtain documentary proof of U.S. citizenship before registering voters for federal elections. In advance of the vote, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Tea Party Patriots Action fully backs the SAVE Act, and we appreciate Speaker Johnson’s linking it to the Continuing Resolution that will keep the government funded beyond September 30. “Some in the media claim that the SAVE Act is unnecessary because noncitizen voting is already illegal. What they fail to mention is that there’s currently no reliable system in place to enforce that law. The SAVE Act remedies this by requiring states to obtain documentary proof of citizenship before a new voter can be registered, adding a crucial enforcement mechanism to ensure our election laws are upheld as intended. "Strengthening election integrity is at the heart of Tea Party Patriots Action’s mission. Earlier this year, we commissioned a poll that found 87% of Americans agree that ‘proof of U.S. citizenship should be required to register to vote in American elections,’ and that 79% agree that ‘foreigners should be prohibited from interfering, including voting, in U.S. elections.’ “While the Biden-Harris administration is deliberately flooding our country with illegal aliens, overwhelming majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents want to protect our elections from foreign interference. That’s why the SAVE Act is so vital, and we urge every House Member to support this spending bill with the SAVE Act included.” Last week, Townhall ran Ms. Martin’s op-ed, The House Should Pass Speaker Johnson’s “Cr + Save Act."
