Since no one has down this yet I'm going to use our groups Mission Statement.

The Green Bay Wisconsin TEA Party

Mission Statement

We strongly believe that these United States are suffering from excessive, overbearing, out-of-control government at all levels, intolerable taxation (without real representation), asinine political correctness that stifles the public discourse and crushes personal excellence, and a disastrous decline into the nightmare of socialism that would physically sicken our founding forefathers.

We aggressively work to create awareness and promote discussion of the causes of our nation's problems and the potential solutions.

We engage politically to effect the changes that concur with our extraordinary Constitution.

The Goals of the Green Bay Wisconsin TEA Party are the promotion of:

1. The restoration of the Republic to the form defined in the Articles of the Constitution.  Repeal of any and all laws, regulations, executive orders, resolutions, and ordinances that conflict with the Constitution or are based on powers not enumerated in the Constitution.

2. Reassertion of the preeminence of the sovereignty of the States over the federal government as stipulated by the 10th Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

3. Achieving total transparency and accountability in all levels of government - the people should have the ability to read and comment on all bills before a legislative body votes on the bill.  Elimination of all earmarks and bill amendments - if the idea is worthwhile, it should be worthy of its own bill. Requirement by law that all government officials at all levels are to be subject to the same laws that are passed by those legislative bodies.

4. Demolishing the growing, socialist "nanny state" and its programs and legislation, reinstituting personal responsibility and the traditional values of work, merit, integrity, honesty, innovation, accountability, civic participation and civility.

5. Correcting the perspective of the Supreme Court to a centrist, originalist interpretation of the Constitution that terminates the power expanding, flip-flopping, judicial activism associated with the view of the Constitution as a "living document" which complies with international and foreign law.

    Reaffirmation that the first and foremost obilgation of the Supreme Court is to protect the people's and states' constitutional rights by restricting the scope and power of the federal government, thus protecting the lives, liberty and property of the American people. 

Answering the call the Green Bay Wisconsin TEA Party members are answering the call of History that, in the prophetic words of Thomas Paine, "it is the duty of every Patriot to protect his country from its government" ......if these goals strike a chord with you we invite you to join or work with us.  You may email us at; info@greenbayteaparty.org
