This recession and ever expanding tax and spend mandates from Washington DC has awakened the Sleeping Giant. The American People. The members of the Tea Party are committed to five principles.
- Limited Government
- Fiscal Responsibility
- Personal Responsibility
- Rule of Law
- National (and State) Sovereignty
America is one of a kind. There is no place like this great nation on Earth. We are a nation of immigrants from every land which is part of our strength. If you believe that America should be by the people, for the people and of the people. If you believe in statements like “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,…”. If you believe that government close to the people governs best. If so, we implore you to stand up and join our peaceful re-revolution.
The mission of the North Texas Tea Party is to begin the change in all levels of government to return to The Five Principles. We will do this through local organization and action. We will actively and specifically support candidates and issues we feel will advance those principles. Reaching out to our neighbors and friends to put honest information into the hands of the voters. We will uncover what the candidates really believe and we WILL hold them accountable.
The leadership of the group is by roundtable:
- Michael Openshaw: handles most communication (sometimes too much
) and is the webmaster. Has a very long history of conservative political grassroots work, dating back to the early 60s. - Q Coleman: handles rallies and events (he does event planning professionally). His rally experience dates all the way back to the Cuban revolution (where rallies were certainly more ‘fiesty’.)
- Jim Bright: a professional recruiter and extremely adept at reading people; extremely skilled in areas useful in vetting candidates.
- Suzanne Boyd-Chapman: extremely knowledgeable in other conservative clubs and inner workings of local political society.
- Doug Reeves- A local political expert, having worked extensively with both the GOP and local social conservative groups
- Brett Baldwin: his passion is for the legislation that affects every aspect of our daily lives.
- John Holladay; a no-nonsense Vietnam Vet, very focused on direct, actionable activities in the local elections and issues space.

We know of it; not sure how many are going but we’ll try to have some representation there. The difficulty is not only that it’s fairly pricey, but that it’s right in the middle of the primary battle. And we have a LOT of primary battles on our hands.
Since the stimulous package was passed, I decided to pay “out of pocket” for my son’s college and save his college fund for “his” retirement. It is the least I can do since we are spending his retirement now.
Unfortunatly, the “out of pocket” college expenses are coming out of my retirement.
This is the reality we have found ourselves in.
