The Mississippi Tea Party The Mississippi Tea Party is a voluntary statewide association of independent 912 Project and Tea Party groups. Our purpose is to foster communication between our member groups, to promote their events, to provide a unified public voice, to help grow new groups and to support the election of conservative candidates to elected offices.
Nullify Unconstitutional Legislation Dear Governor Barbour: The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for a law which violates the Constitution to be valid.
Race is ‘the engine’ that drives Arizona Ward Connerly, an African-American founder of the American Civil Rights Institute, recently stated, “Race is the engine that drives the political Left. In the courtrooms, on college campuses, and, most especially, in our politics, race is a central theme.  
Mississippi Sovereignty The United States Is Not a Nation! by Brion McClanahan, LewRockwell.com I have often required my students on the first day or two of class to use the Oxford English Dictionary and define the following words: nation and state. Most do not follow my directions and submit a modern Webster’s or online distortion of the word, and those who use the Oxford often fail to provide the etymology of either word.

The Role of the MSTP

Because we are a statewide organization, one of the primary goals of the Mississippi Tea Party
is to act as a watchdog on state legislative issues.  In addition to working to have a voice in the
setting of the legislative agenda for the next session, we will maintain close contact with our
legislators in Jackson and will then work to influence legislation in both houses.   Read more

About

INTRODUCING THE MSTP

A little over a year ago “Tea Parties” began popping up all over the state. Ordinary folks, in a true grassroots movement, began banding together to protest the rapid expansion of the Federal government that was fueling rapidly rising debt and taxes. The phrase “Taxed Enough Already” became the rallying call. Since then the American People have awakened to many other abuses of power and have responded with anger and outrage as their elected representatives have repeatedly ignored them.   Read more

 

Member Types

9-12 Project Groups - These groups emerged from the 'We Surround Them' viewing parties that Glenn Beck held on March 13, 2009. They are founded on 9 Principles and 12 Values that are important to the restoration of America. The name also reflects on 9/12/2001 when Americans came together the day after 9/11, a historical moment that represented the heroism and compassion of Americans.

While the groups largely focus on educating the public about legislative issues, they also act as a watchdog over the political maneuverings of a government agenda that is leaning hard toward socialism. They are actively engaged in the challenge of waking up Americans to garner support to protect our freedoms from a corrupt government.

 

Tea Party Groups - Since its inception in February 2009, the Tea Party movement—with the help of viral videos and social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter—almost instantly found a large and loyal following that has gained traction and supporters. In fact, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll in January 2010 revealed that 41% of Americans have a positive perception of the Tea Party movement, compared to 35% for the Democratic Party and 28% for the Republican Party.

CNBC's Rick Santelli is widely credited with launching this grassroots movement. While standing on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on February 19, 2009, he unleashed what can only be called a rant against the Obama Administration's proposal to help homeowners facing foreclosure refinance their mortgages. The groups responded by holding Tea Parties across the nation to protest an ever-increasing tax burden being placed by Congressmen who are unrepresentative of the people.

Patriot / Conservative Groups - Our member groups are also Patriot conservative groups who share with the 912 and Tea Party groups the goal of restoring the Constitution and returning our nation to one founded on principles and values. While each may have its own focus, all share the primary goals of limited government, fiscal responsibility and a free market economic system.

Patriotic Americans continue to have a growing respect for history as we read and study about the founding of our nation. We also take note of the travesties of human existence in failed governmental systems like socialism and work to combat the lies and propaganda of what is growing to be a tyrannical government in the U.S.  At the center of it all is our faith on and reliance in our God, the Creator who led a group of men by divine providence to found the greatest nation the earth has ever known.
