Tea Party Principles:

1. All citizens are created equal.
2. United States of America is the Greatest country ever created.
3. We Citizens are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights:
  • Life.
  • Liberty.
  • Pursuit of Happiness.
4. Our Golden Rule is the Bill of Rights, First Amendment:
  • No law to establishing or prohibiting the free exercise of religion.
  • No law abridging the freedom of speech.
  • No law abridging the freedom of the press.
  • No law abridging the right of the people peaceably to assemble.
  • No law abridging the rights of citizens to petition the Government for a redress of their grievances.
5. The your family is sacred.
6. Justice is blind and no person is above the law.
7. Dissent peacefully is a right and not un-American. To disagree with authority is a right. To share personal opinions is a right.
8. The government works for us, We the People.
9. The source of the government’s authority is “the consent of the governed.” This means that the government is not the ruler, but the servant or agent of the citizens; it means that the government as such has no rights except the rights delegated to it by the citizens for a specific purpose.
10. The proper functions of a government fall into only three broad categories, all of them involving the issues of physical force and the protection of citizen’s rights: .
  • The armed services, to protect the United States from foreign invaders.
  • The police, to protect citizens from criminals.
  • The law courts, to settle disputes among citizens in accordance with contracts and constitutional laws.
11. The two great values to be gained from social existence are knowledge and trade:
  • The first value knowledge is because humans are the only species that can transmit and expand their store of knowledge from generation to generation. The knowledge potentially available to any human is greater than any one person could begin to acquire in their own lifespan. Every human gains an incalculable benefit from the knowledge discovered by others.
  • The second value trade, is the great benefit that the division of labor  enables a human to devote their efforts to a particular field of work and to trade with others who specialize in other fields.
12. We pledge to work for our ideals though nonviolence change. We support the ‘Pledge of Nonviolence’ that is based on the great Martin Luther King, Jr’s Five Principles of Non-Violence.
  • Non-violent resistance is not a method for cowards. It does resist. The nonviolent resister is just as strongly opposed to the evil against which they protests, as is the person who uses violence. Their method is passive or nonaggressive in the sense that they are not physically aggressive toward their opponent, but their mind and emotions are always active, constantly seeking to persuade the opponent that they are mistaken. This method is passive physically but strongly active spiritually; it is nonaggressive physically but dynamically aggressive spiritually.
  • Nonviolent resistance does not seek to defeat or humiliate the opponent, but to win their friendship and understanding. The nonviolent resister must often express their protest through noncooperation or boycotts, but they realizes that noncooperation and boycotts are not ends themselves; they are merely means to awaken a sense of moral shame in the opponent.
  • The attack is directed against forces of evil rather than against persons who are caught in those forces. It is a struggle between justice and injustice, between the forces of light and the forces of darkness.
  • Nonviolent resistance avoids not only external physical violence, but also internal violence of spirit. At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.
  • Nonviolence is based on the conviction that the universe is on the side of justice. It is the deep faith in the future that allows a nonviolent resister to accept suffering without retaliation. The nonviolent resister knows that in their struggle for justice, they have a cosmic companionship.
With a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other:
  • Our Lives.
  • Our Fortunes
  • Our Sacred Honor.
