Gub'mint REPAIRS
Welcome to the Patrick Henry Tea Party!
We have created this site to keep citizens of western Hanover County and surrounding areas
informed about important governmental issues affecting citizens on the local, state, and national
levels. We are a grassroots group not affiliated with any political party, but with a focus on
smaller, less-intrusive government, fiscal prudence, and unashamed patriotism.
"Should I keep back my opinions
at such a time,
through fear of giving offense,
I should consider myself as guilty
of treason towards my country,
and of an act of disloyalty
toward the Majesty of Heaven,
which I revere above all earthly
kings.”
~Patrick Henry

MEET DAVE BRAT
Candidate for Congress
7th District
http://davebratforcongress.com/
From the Dave Brat for Congress Website:
"Dave is running because the political and economic systems
are broken. We live in an era of inter-generational theft; we are
racking up bills only to hand them off to our children. Dave
Brat is committed to getting our fiscal house in order."
OUR MISSION IS
- To represent "We the People" and monitor our Legislators at all levels of government. To promote public awareness and become engaged in restoring the vision of our Founding Fathers. We believe real change must begin with citizen involvement through local government participation and voter registration. Our efforts toward these ends are resolved to be peaceful, respectful, and non-racist.
- To proactively represent "We the People" in educating and informing Virginians on local, state and federal issues. To hold accountable all government officials. To engage in voter registration and inspire all to become involved for the good of America. Our principles are Constitutionally based and we shall tolerate no violence or racist activity.

GOP War on
Conservatives Backfires
On Friday, every political campaign
had to file its 2013 year end report with
the FEC. The reports delivered two big
surprises. The Democrats are
dominating the Republicans in
fundraising. More surprising,
perhaps, though, is that Tea Party
and conservative SuperPACs
raised around three times as much
as GOP establishment SuperPACs.
The DC GOP may have started the war
against the Tea Party, but it won't
finish it.
Not long after their stunning losses
in 2012, Karl Rove and other
establishment Republicans announced
a new effort to engage in primaries to
ensure the "right" candidates got the
party's nomination. Rove and the party
leadership argued that the party lost
because of "flawed", i.e. too
conservative, candidates. There were
indeed some flawed candidates in
2012, but far more establishment,
"electable" candidates went down to
uninspiring defeat.
