This is from David Nance.

Chairman of the T8TPC (Tennessee 8th District Tea Party Coalition) 

Take a look at some of the great things happening at the State level. It isappearing that we can be much more effective working at the State level rather than at the Federal level. Senator Stacy Campfield has found significant support from the Tennessee Sheriffs association for the Montana Senate bill S114 and intends to move ahead with filing the bill in the S...

A U.S. district judge on Monday threw out the nation's health care law, declaring it unconstitutional because it violates the Commerce Clause and surely reviving a feud among competing philosophies about the role of government.

Judge Roger Vinson, in Pensacola, Fla., ruled that as a result of the unconstitutionality of the "individual mandate" that requires people to buy insurance, the entire law must be declared void.

"I must reluctantly conclude that Congress exceeded the boun...

The Benton County Tea Party will hold it's final meeting for 2010 at The Catfish Place on November 18th @ 6PM.  Our members are Republicans, Democrats and Independents so anyone from Benton County and any surrounding Counties is welcome.

All indication are that Republicans have WON all of the Seats that Benton County Residents could vote for on November 2nd.  At this time most Stations have called the election for Haslam and Fincher.  At this time Wirgau is ahead of Borchert 54% to 46% with 60 percent of precincts reporting.

Most important is the fact that Fincher was not just a Republican, he was a Tea Party Republican. This is a huge victory for the Tea Party since both Fincher and Wirgau were en...

 Herron’s Socialism is Dangerous

State Senator Roy Herron is certainly to be commended for championing religious liberty against the assaults of anti-Christian activist and the constitutionally misinformed who continue to infringe upon the rights of children and teachers in public schools. Though we are at a loss as to why he has opposed passing a law (SJR 127) which states that abortion is not a right in the Tennesse...

Whenever October rolls around we all start to realize that the Elections are getting close.  The news stations start their countdown to the election and the political machines roll into high gear.

First, lets look at our purpose.  In my opinion the purpose of the Tea Party is simple.  We promote Candidates and Legislation that adhere to our 3 Core Principles. If successful, we watch the Candidates we help get elected and make sure they stick to their promises.  I...

A decorated Gulf War veteran was maintaining a narrow lead over Senator Lisa Murkowski in the Alaska Republican Senate primary, as votes continued to be counted Wednesday in what could shape up to be a dramatic political upset.

Polls taken before primary day showed Murkowski, a Senator from an Alaska political dynasty, leading by a large margin against the 1st time candidate. But challenger Joe Miller insisted all along that the state's polling was inaccurate -- as of Wedn...

The TN Board of Regents took shady politics to a new low with a backroom way for hiring Deputy Governor John Morgan as the system's new chancellor.

At a time when a more transparent government is crucial to our education system, the board, which oversees MTSU, undermined the public confidence by altering the rules - in an apparent attempt to make sure Morgan got the job.

Republican state Senators Bill Ketron of Murfreesboro and Jim Tracy of Shelbyville ar...

When will the Liberals in Washington learn that the American people are tired of bailouts?  In case you were not aware, $26 Billion of  your tax dollars is going to bail out Unions!  This bill was nothing more than the Liberals paying the Unions for their support in November, at the expense of you the tax payer!

"It amounts at this point in time to asking the citizens of responsible states like ours to subsidize those places who have been more reckless," Indiana Gov. Mit...

According to a Fox News poll just released, 45% of voters think the law goes too far and only 25% think it does not go far enough. 

Just 16% think think the law includes just the right amount of change.

Momentum against the Obama Healthcare Legislation is picking up as Missouri votes for legislation blocking the law.

Missouri citizens on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected a key part of President Obama's healthcare legislation, sending a clear message to Democrats and the Obama Administration just under 100 days prior to the midterm elections.

About 71% of Missouri voters supported a Proposition C, a ballot measure that would prohibit the government from requiring citizens to have health insurance or from penalizing them for not having health insurance.
