The Greater Phoenix Tea Party is a multi-partisan group of Americans dedicated to becoming more active with their civic duties, seeking knowledge about the political process, keeping up to date on current issues, protecting the Constitution, state sovereignty, defending free market principles, reducing spending and taxes, and electing quality American public officials that will adhere to these ideals, regardless of party affiliation.

The Greater Phoenix Tea Party does not associate themselves with extremist radicals such as those who appear at rallies with machine guns, Confederate flags, pastors who preach hate and violence, or any other individual who usurps the decency of the American people.

We are, however, adamantly dedicated to protecting the Constitution by holding our Representatives and Senators accountable through our constituency. We are watching closely how they vote on current bills and issues, and will vote for them accordingly in 2010. We will work diligently for the next 12 months to unseat any politician who does not follow our ideals and will work even harder to help elect those who will. Once they are elected, we will monitor them to ensure they follow through.

We denounce the accusation that we are using scare-tactics and fear to promote our agenda. On the contrary, we are simply using our constitutional and civic DUTY to hold our public officials accountable. We welcome anyone who is willing to do the same.

We are very happy to provide an area for our patriots to share information, sound off on issues, pose questions, etc. We do need to add the little disclaimer, however, that the opinions and statements of the bloggers does not necessarily reflect that of the Greater Phoenix Tea Party. Thank you for understanding!
