Agree to Agree Symposium is an annual meet and greet of grassroots freedom organizations (state and national) to present info and discuss issues relevant to those who believe in individual liberty and the founding principles of our U.S. Constitution.  We do not agree on all issues – but we “Agree to Agree” on those that we do see eye to eye on -- those which preserve our liberty and are dedicated to our Founding principles!  On the agenda (T/B/A), a speaker/leader from each group will present their issues and focus on their current progress. These groups will have informational display tables in the meeting room.   Among participants will be the Convention of States group to provide new info on the progress of the resolution for Mississippi application to participate.  This event is an excellent opportunity to network and become acquainted with folks from around Mississippi and elsewhere who want to pass on Liberty to our children and grandchildren. 
 
We will meet State Senator Chris McDaniel and question him about the numerous issues which have been hurting Mississippians that curtail our liberties and stunt the growth of private enterprise - particularly small business.  He will also provide updates on how his campaign is progressing.  We are providing time on the agenda for Chris to answer questions from the audience – and especially the participant groups who may have questions on these issues:  raising our children in the educational environment here in Mississippi; personal health care; taxes that have just suddenly appeared ​on our internet commerce; and many other problems associated with internet privacy. 
 
Watch for event updates via email, Facebook page and our Website page.  Hope to see you there!

The 2016 Annual meeting of the Mississippi Tea Party was held Saturday November 19, 2016.  Besides the organization's corporate business, extensive discussion was held concerning politics within the state of Mississippi AS WELL AS the recent Presidential election.

NATIONAL ISSUES . . . .
Attendees watched a video of Bill Whittle regarding the "Conservative Solution” presented in Los Angeles in 2012 leading up to the November elections.  “Our representative republic does not allow for election by an unruly mobocracy," rather our constitutional form of government allows for the voice of the people having a check with balance via the Electoral College.  So what is American conservatism?  Whittle named these 7 values: 

  1. Small government that allows for free enterprise
  2. Elitism stinks (Museum Grade Morons)
  3. Wealth creation unlimited
  4. Natural Law is observed in every civilization
  5. Legal Immigration
  6. Gun Rights
  7. American Exceptionalism -- we are a moral, decent, restrained, civilized people
Many believe that Donald Trump communicated this to the people by his own populist methods.   Enough voters in enough States "got it" with enough electoral college votes to give him a huge mandate from the people saying we do not want any more of liberal-statist policies coming from our President.

The Presidential election was a most surprising result because the widely expected success of Hillary Clinton was not accomplished as many Americans predicted.  The American People won this election by believing that Donald John Trump could perform on his "make America great again" in an obvious and serious concern for the future of the United States of America.  See “Contract with the American Voter.”  This perception of what America has become under the present administration apparently doesn't fit the people's worldview for our nation.  The nebulous term "Stronger Together" didn't resonate enough, especially when Mrs. Clinton wasn't able to articulate its meaning.  The state of the Union appears to be so tenuous in comparison to the years under previous Presidents that Mr. Trump's assertion that we need to get back to work resounds to restore our place in the world.

MISSISSIPPI ISSUES . . . .

Gun Rights

A review of bills being contemplated for the next legislature was discussed.  Most were pertaining to vaccine rights, election money reform, the Convention of States project, and gun rights.  Rick Ward has filed a lawsuit against the Hattiesburg PD and the MS Ethics Commission over the posting of signs forbidding the carrying of weapons in public spaces.  Such postings are a violation of the Mississippi Code.

Corruption

One of the revealing facts concerning corruption is that an assault on American liberties is being waged by a hedge fund magnate named George Soros.  Soros seeks "social justice reform" by assisting those prosecutors who have shown to be friendly to this social justice engineering.  This menace reaches down into Mississippi governance by furnishing campaign contributions to a local prosecutor (Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith) (see video by Mark Levin at the 37:17 point).  Smith is under indictment for assisting a suspect as to “how to beat his rap" while being held in Hinds County jail.  SMITH is the prosecuting attorney.  Funds in the amount of $56,000 were given to Smith for re-election by the 501(c)(3) categories of the MS Safety and Justice PAC.  This PAC is funded by Soros as he has set up in other states.  For more information about these PACs visit this link. 
 
Elections, Education, Taxes, Commerce, Security

In the past the Mississippi Tea Party has supported many issues such as American Law for American Courts, education reform in an effort to pass school choice, removal of Common Core from our classroom curriculum, a clearer articulation of MAEP formulation that benefits our children in the classroom, election law reform, and limitations on Federal overreach.  Leadership in both chambers wants to raise gasoline taxes in the next session and this will hurt the most economically vulnerable of our State.  There is talk of internet commerce taxation to be also considered in the coming session.  We continue to find other issues that should be addressed by the Mississippi Legislature.  

Budget, Spending

In the last session, the Legislature sold bonds to cover its lack of adequate budgeting.  A $30 million budget shortfall was reported after the session closed. There exists much in the way of pork barrel spending which -- had they cut out the fat, the budget would have balanced.  Among the pork spending was funding to MPB, museums, and the maintenance on empty State buildings.  Could it be possible we have a “spending problem”?
​
RECAP . . . .
 
There is much to do and we strongly urge you to stay involved with your Legislators about these and other issues as they arise.  More info and reference material can be found on our MS Legislature webpage.

MISSISSIPPI TEA PARTY
2016 ANNUAL MEETING
November 19, 2016
10:30 am – 3:00 pm
Penn’s Fish House – Meeting Room
613 W. Government St., Brandon, MS 39042

Now is the time to plan the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Mississippi Tea Party.  Delegates, individual members and their spouses may attend.  Please let us know of your Chapter's Delegates and send any contact info changes for Delegates to [email protected].  We will conduct a business meeting -- and we need Delegates to vote!

Having exerted strong political pressure (and we still are) on state officials and 2016 Legislators, the Mississippi Tea Party is drafting plans for focus in the upcoming 2017 Session as Legislators will undoubtedly face many challenges.  Our main emphasis will be upcoming legislative initiatives and supporting the efforts of the local Tea Party groups toward their concerns.  Other conservative groups are interested in sharing with the heavy pressure on the legislature for getting measures passed.  We ask you to give us a report about this and the efforts your group has made to re-establish CONSTITUTIONAL governance back to this country.

Be prepared to work on this plan – and we strongly urge all state Delegates to attend with your suggestions and ideas!  Watch the website Legislature page to see the latest.

REGISTRATION is $10.00.  Each person may order their own lunch from the menu.  Deadline for Registration:  midnight Thursday, Nov. 17, 2016.  Please register either of these methods:​

streamingmoviesright.com/us/movie/runaway-slave/Agree to Agree Symposium is an annual meet and greet of grassroots freedom organizations (state and national) to present information and discuss issues relevant to those who believe in individual liberty.  We do not agree on all issues – but we “Agree to Agree” on those that we do see eye to eye on -- those which preserve our liberty and are dedicated to Founding principles!  Some of such interested leaders will be program speakers (agenda T/B/A) and most groups will have informational display tables in the FOYER.  It is a time for networking and to become acquainted with folks from around Mississippi and elsewhere who want to pass on liberty to our children and grandchildren.

ISSUES - The issues of the day, including state and national politics, will be included for discussion.  We emphasize that our relations with other freedom groups and citizens on the subject of First Amendment rights will be covered – especially with regard to the new era of civil rights.  The keynote address will be given by C.L. Bryant, a noted African-American Baptist minister, author and radio and television host and former NAACP Chapter President.  Bryant is a member of the Republican Party and the Tea Party movement, which he has defended against allegations of racism.  Often at odds with liberal leaders in the African-American community, Bryant in March 2012 criticized Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for their role over protests stemming from the controversial shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida.  Bryant is the founder of the group, "One Nation Back to God."  In 2012, he produced and released the independent film documentary, Runaway Slave, "a movie about the race to free the Black community from the slavery of tyranny and progressive policies."

C. L. BRYANT
Mississippi has more (1,075) African-American elected officials than any other state.  We oppose the outside radical groups who come to our state to disturb the progress of healing that Mississippi has experienced in the last 50 years.  Today, we celebrate the positive changes in areas of race relations that have continued.   (We are now building a Mississippi Civil Rights Museum to remember our history and honor the fearless citizens who helped the civil rights movement succeed. We celebrate our race relations and include all Conservatives.)

ELECTIONS – By the date of the Symposium, there will be limited discussion of the 2016 elections since we are advanced past the primary election season.  Many leaders in conservative groups, social and political in nature will be there to discuss the issues voters are concerned about. Presenters will be leaders/spokesmen for those groups.  The only candidates on the Mississippi November ballot (besides Presidential) are statewide judicial races and any candidates present will have an opportunity to meet leaders and voters at this event! 

LEGISLATURE - The 2016 Mississippi Legislative session has concluded and discussion will be presented as to certain laws which passed and failed.  Networking time will be allotted for those attending to discuss key issues.

PARKING:  Behind the War Memorial building and the parking lot behind the Old Capitol building next door.  A handicap ramp is situated between these two buildings.

REGISTER: To register, click either Register or Donate button below, designate this event, and select payment method – either online, or by mail payable to MSTP.  Registration $40, includes box lunch, drinks.  Since this is a “State” building, state rules prohibit us from collecting proceeds inside the building or on the grounds.  Any late registration money will need to be collected at the sidewalk so we do appreciate early registration.  The deadline for Registration is noon Thursday, June 9.   Cutoff deadline to include lunch is noon Friday June 10.
