937 signatures I am, for once, speechless. Thank you all.
To everyone that attended the Tea Party, I cannot express enough how much your support means to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. None of this would be possible without every single one of you. I will update the website soon, and get all the contact info up for our local elected officials. Keep the energy up. The sheer amount of you that showed up was beyond what I could have ever expected, but what really moved me was the hope and energy I felt from all of you. Once again thank you. I cannot wait to see what we can achieve. - Steph
What is this Tea Party effort all about?
The Tea Party effort is just a small piece of a much larger movement aimed at restoring the basic free-market principles our country was built on. The Constitution, for the most part, is being ignored by our current government and we intend on working together to correct the problem.
The Tea Party effort is a grassroots, collaborative volunteer organization made up of every day American citizens from across the country. We take pride in the fact that we've built a 50 state network of leaders and activists using nothing more than the internet, a few websites and a burning desire to restore freedom.

Bradenton Tea Party
The Bradenton Tax Day Tea Party will be held at Mixon Fruit Farms 2712 26th Ave. E. Bradenton, FL 34208. It will be under the outdoor pavilion from 5pm to 7pm and include live music. We are just one of many Tea Parties that will be held nation wide April 15th uniting citizens from across the political spectrum to take a stance against high taxes, bailouts, and government overspending. The government is pumping our tax dollars into failing enterprises, driving the nation deeper into debt and it is time to speak out. This Tea Party will give citizens the opportunity to connect with like minded activists and take action toward a common goal of a return to a more limited and fiscally responsible government.
The goal of this Tea Party is not to change the nation in a single day, but rather to inspire people to take action to make their voices heard. To not just protest with signs and slogans, but make a commitment to back them up with actions, whether it be as simple as emailing a Congressman, or as involved as running for local office. This is not about protesting any single politician, political party, or piece of legislation. This is about bringing the government back in touch with the people. In order to do this we must reach out first, and make our voices heard. It is time to unite and take action. Change cannot happen alone.
