THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT is the most dynamic and powerful grassroots political movement witnessed by modern-day America. It arose spontaneously – and in the nick of time – to save this country from an advancing, fatal drift away from self-government, liberty and the promise of greater prosperity for future generations.
BUT WHAT DOES THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT REALLY STAND FOR? AND WHERE DOES IT GO FROM HERE? JOSEPH FARAH – founder, editor and prolific writer was a tea partier before there was even a tea party movement. In his new book, "The Tea Party Manifesto," Farah fleshes out the origins and evolution of the movement that intensifies daily in speed and spirit.
Defining the terms of the debate, the true meaning of independence, the danger in waiting for political messiahs, and the vital need for a spiritual core, Farah provides an inspired road map for this country's citizens to extricate themselves from the overreaching grip of government and reclaim the beliefs of the Founding Fathers.
Something is happening in the United States – something unprecedented in the last 150 years. Now more than ever is the time for a complete renewal of liberty, justice, and morality. It's time for a vision as bold as the one that launched this country. Only one question remains: What part will you play in taking America back?
The director of the Wilson Tea Party chapter is Rev. Joel M. Killion. He quotes today:
Why stand we here idle [Matt. 20:6]? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! (From Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death" speech)
Upcoming events of the Wilson chapter:
JULY 4TH CELEBRATION AT FLEMING STADIUM
contact for more information:
After a great trip to Washington DC with Restoring America, we've got to share our experiences with everyone. This will be a fun afternoon for kids of all ages and you can even bring your friends. Please bring a side with a beverage. The Tea Party will take care of the Hamburgers and Hotdogs. If you don't know how to share your activist spirit then you've got to be here! It's OK to bring your pet if you don't have a sitter. Make sure you have a leash, though. Please RSVP on this event.
Wilson Tea Party Statement:
This is a place for you and other like-minded Wilsonians who are looking for information and direction on how to take back our country. So you no longer have to feel powerless or alone as you see what is being done to our country. America is being fundamentally transformed and dissolved and we all must work together to be informed and active in halting and reversing the “progressive” direction we are being forced into.
Of course, for all of us, this can start in our homes. So we need to talk to our family and friends about America’s founding values and principles, as seen below. Then, we need to interact with our neighbors by hosting or attending weekly meetings in living rooms, coffee houses or restaurants throughout our community so that we can share thoughts, concerns and solutions with one another. Only then will we become a part of the solution.
Since there is so much disinformation in the mainstream media regarding the overall tea party movement, we want to encourage you to take a moment to review our mission statement and core values below. If you decide that this is a cause you are willing to be an active participant in, then please “Sign Up” and become a member, free of charge, so you can start receiving our periodic e-mail updates (we promise not to overload your inbox).
Visit our website often. Every webpage has a specific objective for our cause. So enjoy our LINKS, BLOG, VIDEOS, MUSIC, FREEBIES, and, as you CONNECT with one another, share the ideas and resources that have worked for you in your sphere of influence. And if you wish to make a donation to the Wilson NC Tea Party, please click on our SUPPORT FREEDOM HERE page. Now is not the time to be discouraged. Lift up your head! You have an opportunity to play an indispensible role in helping us to revive our county, state and nation for freedom and liberty. David, the sweet psalmist Israel asked in Psalm 11:3 (KJV), “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The foundations of America are being destroyed more rapidly than ever before and it is time for those who are the light of the world and the salt of the earth to wake up and run into the darkness and infection which is overtaking the God-given destiny of this great land. As you read the information below, please prayerfully consider what our Lord would have for you to do as we work to restore America to her righteous foundations.
“We the people” are rising up in the sound of liberty and we will restore our nation. New tea party groups are popping up every single day all over this country, and together, we are marching, as one, all across this land.
God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

MISSION STATEMENT
Standing for limited government, lower taxes, free markets, constitutional values, and fiscal responsibility.
The Wilson NC Tea Party is a grassroots, non-violent, non-partisan movement for liberty and freedom that crosses racial, denominational and political party lines. We are Independents, Libertarians, Democrats and Republicans. We are black, white, red, brown, and yellow. We are Catholics and Protestants, young and old, male and female and we are unified around the Judeo-Christian principles and values of our glorious founding. We are bringing “our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor” to the table to organize a grassroots voice within Wilson County that stands for limited government, lower taxes, free markets, constitutional values, and fiscal responsibility. We put principle before party and vote for those who are most aligned with our values. We put integrity and character before flowery words and polished personas. We put common sense before utopian ideals and progressive lies.
We do not have a personal problem with any of our leaders. We honor every legitimate, Constitutional government office and position. We love our country and pray, daily, for all our leaders. However, this country is on the wrong track and nearly 80% of Americans do not trust the federal government and do not believe that it can solve America's ills (April 19th Pew Research poll).
OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES AND VALUES
[Taken from Glenn Beck's 9/12 Project website at www.the912project.com/the-912-2 and The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen]
The 9 Principles
1) America Is Good.
2) I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life. God - “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.
3) I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. Honesty - “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington
4) The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government. Marriage/Family - “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson
5) If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. Justice - “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson
6) I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results. Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness - “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson
7) I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. Charity - “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington
8) It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. On your right to disagree - “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington
9) The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me. Who works for whom? - “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson.
