A Message from the President of the Kingwood TEA Party

After Nov. 6: Where We Go from Here

Kingwood TEA Party is more committed than ever to standing for the conservative principles that will allow the United States to excel and prosper once more: constitutionally limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets.

Freedom for individuals from state-imposed tyranny is the single-most important principle fought for by our Founding Fathers and gifted to each generation of Americans since that time. It has been the responsibility of each succeeding generation to live by those principles given and to teach their successors to value them as well.

Given the results of our recent election, we have clearly failed in that duty. In no way does that failure mean that we should give up and join the progressives who are working furiously to divide Americans, spend our country into oblivion, and destroy all that has made us exceptional.

For that reason, Kingwood TEA Party will continue to encourage our elected representatives and legislators at both the State and Federal levels to escalate the fight for our principles, clearly stating why they work, and doing everything within their means to stop the progressive policies that will weaken our country economically and militarily. We ask them to fight with us to restore the free market principles that will allow our economy to come roaring back to life. Ending intrusive and unconstitutional regulations and spending at all levels of government by reducing the size and scope of government in Washington, D.C., Austin, and on the local levels is the only way to restore Liberty in America.

Though some programs will need to be grandfathered out, every American citizen must realize that no one has the right to take what they need from another by theft or by government seizure through taxation. No one is entitled to the fruits of another’s hard work. We Americans have always been a generous people as evidenced by the charitable contributions given to those in need. Those who are truly unable to care for themselves will always be taken care of. However, we absolutely must take the education and formation of our future citizens away from the government and give them back to parents and localities.

To fix what is wrong, Kingwood TEA Party will do everything in its power to see Freedom restored and our futures securely placed back in the hands of every American citizen. We will fight strenuously to stop unsustainable spendthrift programs for all comers regardless of their legal status in this country. Reducing our Nation to third world levels of poverty and instability is not the way to help those in other countries to better themselves.

I hope that you will join with me and the Kingwood TEA Party as we ask all of our legislators and elected officials to join with us as we work to regain the legacy of Liberty that our fathers and forefathers paid for with their service, their honor, and their blood.
