Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senators to Vote “No” on Jackson Supreme Court Nomination

Atlanta, GA – Today, the U.S. Senate is expected to vote on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.  Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "There is no mystery to how Judge Jackson will vote as a Supreme Court justice if she’s ultimately confirmed. Her record as a judge makes clear her predilection for choosing the preferred outcome and then working backwards to find a legal justification for it, rather than simply following the meaning of the Constitution and the law wherever they may lead. This means Judge Jackson will be on the wrong side of key issues facing our country, including the Constitution’s limitations on government’s authority, the Second Amendment, vaccine mandates, and imposing proper sentences on criminals. No Senator who believes in our Constitution should vote for Judge Jackson.”

Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to OSHA’s Decision to Officially Withdraw Private Employer Vaccine Mandate

Atlanta, GA – Today, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) officially withdrew its vaccine requirement for private employers with 100 or more employees. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:  “This is a big win for freedom, and a big loss for the Biden Administration. Vaccine mandates – whether at the federal, state, or local level – are a direct affront to our freedom.  Indeed, opposing these mandates is one of the most pressing issues facing our country today.  TPPA has been a leader on this issue from the start, and has helped organize more than 500 protests nationwide against the mandates. We were also a coalition partner of the ‘Defeat the Mandates’ rally in Washington, DC, and other cities last weekend.  We will continue opposing vaccine mandates.  No politician or faceless bureaucrat should ever make medical decisions for you or your loved ones.” TPPA published op-eds and many calls to action for its grassroots activists week after week, including asking activists to leave comments on the government website against the mandate.

Tea Party Patriots Action Slams Senate Democrats for Trying to Break the Senate

Atlanta, GA – Today, Senate Majority Leader Schumer is having the Senate vote to break the filibuster in order to pass two pieces of legislation: The DC Takeover of Elections to Make It Easy to Cheat Act, and the Pelosi Power Grab. Nearly every Senate Democrat is expected to vote in favor of breaking the filibuster. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Senate Democrats should not tamper with what has worked for more than 230 years. As Senator Manchin pointed out last week, never in the entire history of the United States has the Senate brought debate to a close with a simple majority. There is a reason the Founders gave us two legislative chambers, not one, and there is a reason one of them works by majority rule and the other works by supermajority rule. We urge every Senator to vote against breaking the filibuster, because breaking the filibuster would break the Senate. This should never have been brought up for a vote in the first place.”

Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to Split Supreme Court Rulings on Vaccine Mandates

ATLANTA, GA – Today, the Supreme Court overturned the Biden Administration’s OSHA vaccine mandate for private employers but upheld the CMS vaccine mandate for health care workers. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement reacting to the Supreme Court rulings: “The Supreme Court got it half-right today by overturning the Biden Administration’s OSHA vaccine mandate for private employers. That ruling is a massive win for the Constitution and the notion of limited and enumerated powers, and for freedom in America. However, the Court’s decision to uphold the CMS vaccine mandate for health care workers is still a significant blow to freedom. No one should lose his or her job over his or her vaccination status. The Supreme Court’s job is to defend Americans when our basic liberties are under attack. The Court failed the approximately 17 million Americans who are covered by the health care worker mandate.”

The statements are listed below: "The Democrats lied about the Georgia election reform law. Now they are lying about the Right to Cheat Act and the Pelosi Power Grab - two bills they want to ram through Congress because they know those bills will turn a temporary governing majority into a permanent one."   - Jenny Beth Martin, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman *** “The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution provides states sovereign rights. This includes their right to control their own elections! The Tenth Amendment is what protects us from a tyrannical government! The states joined the Union on the condition of states' rights. “We have already witnessed the disastrous policies of the Biden Administration, created by the far-left establishment in DC who want to turn our country into a ‘one-party’ socialist country, take away the power of the people, and give it to the government.  They know that controlling our elections is their only hope to stay in power and complete their goal of making America a communist-controlled country! We can't let that happen. How is that working for Cuba?  Venezuela? Russia?” - Salleigh Grubbs, Chair, Cobb GOP *** “We have heard no concerns from the Biden / Harris administration in regards to the real election integrity issues in Georgia such as:   “Removing the voting system that a U.S. District Court found to be illegal;Getting access to publicly inspect Fulton County mail-in ballots that senior poll managers have sworn are counterfeit;Helping to achieve accountability for state and county actions that destroyed over a million...

Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to the Passing of Rush Limbaugh

Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman, Jenny Beth Martin, released the following statement after hearing about the passing of conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh:  “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Rush Limbaugh. He was a legend in every sense of the word. He not only gave conservatives a powerful voice, he inspired and encouraged tens of millions of our fellow citizens to embrace ideas that allowed them to achieve the American Dream — in Ronald Reagan’s words, to become whatever God intended them to become. Rush helped change America for the better, and his legacy will long outlast those of his detractors. We thank him for his unmatched contribution to the country he dearly loved. He will truly be missed. We will remember him and his loved ones in our prayers.”

TPPA Strongly Supports Judge Amy Coney Barrett for Supreme Court

Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement today. “President Trump is continuing to keep his promises to grassroots conservatives. Judge Amy Coney Barrett is an outstanding jurist.  President Trump’s nominations have been a model of transparency – with all three nominees being chosen from a list the President shared with the public ahead of time.  The President continues to stick to his list, while Joe Biden refuses to release one of his own.  Judge Amy Coney Barrett is extremely qualified – both in terms of her professional experience, and in terms of her judicial philosophy. She will be an asset to the court as it considers landmark cases that directly bear on our Constitutional rights – from religious liberty to the Second Amendment, from healthcare to immigration.  The Senate must consider and confirm Judge Coney Barrett as soon as possible because the election might be contested and an eight-member Supreme Court would leave our nation at an impasse.”
