Jenny Beth Martin recalls the day, almost five years ago, when a few dozen conservatives held a conference call to plan protests against the Obama administration's big government agenda. On Feb. 27, 2009, 48 protests took place around the country, and the Tea Party was born.
“We changed a moment into a movement,” Martin, co-founder and president of the Tea Party Patriots, told CNSNews.com. Now, five years later, an anniversary event is planned for Thursday at the Hyatt Regency in Washington, D.C.
Talk show host and author Mark Levin will be the keynote speaker, and Sean Hannity will speak at a sold-out dinner.
Other scheduled speakers include Republican Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Lee (Utah), Rand Paul (Ky.); and Republican Reps. Jim Jordan (Ohio), Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Steve King (Iowa) and Louie Gohmert (Texas).
Martin said the Tea Party movement has grown because so many Americans are passionate about its central theme of liberty and small government.
“Economic freedom and a debt-free future for our children and grandchildren” are cornerstones of the movement," she said. “We are a group of people who want to make sure we have enduring freedom in our country.”
The Tea Party Patriots website describes the movement this way:
"From the bailouts and stimulus of 2008 to the government takeover of health care, a spark was ignited that grew into a vibrant movement of liberty-loving Americans determined to protect their freedoms from an ever growing federal government. Since early 2009, the modern Tea Party movement has been on a path to educate Americans about the importance of having a constitutionally limited, fiscally responsible government that preserves an environment for free markets to thrive."
You’re right and I noticed her missing from the list right away. She represents the TEA Party to me.
And the occu-parasite bowel movement is... where?
that room is not anywhere near big enough for the occasion - and far less capable of hosting Sarah.
Yeah, they need Sarah. Also Paul has drunk the amnesty koolaid.
Looks like the list of speakers out number the seats in the room. I anticipated a huge auditorium of some sort. Suggest the Tea Party gets the word out a bit earlier and to a lot more potential attendees. Hell, I’d go listen to those speakers myself, they’re definitely a crowd that would be exciting to hear.
The first rule of the tea party is that there is no tea party.
I won’t associate myself with an official organization with paid leadership, etc.
I’m in agreement with that. I don’t think of the Tea Party (under whatever flavor add-on name some group has) as an official organization but rather a collective sentiment.
In truth, I don’t know these ‘organizers’ from Adam. I don’t know what they get paid from this, what and whom they deal with - any of that.
In a broad, general sense, what they espouse is along the lines of what I feel and think, but they by NO means represent ME.

Long live the Republic; turn back to YHVH!
YHVH?
YHVH is our Creator, commonly called God or Our Father. God is a title, YHVH is His name. There are many _gods_ ; because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places
YHVH...YHWH...Yahweh...Yehovah. I hear those all referenced, depending on the source. Which is correct?

There are videos from it. I saw some of them on C-Span2, however, when I went there online it defaulted to some other audio on another story.
YHVH...YHWH...Yahweh...Yehovah. I hear those all referenced, depending on the source. Which is correct?
I prefer to call Him Jesus, the son of God.
For me, Jesus = Yeshua HaMashiach
