Help Us Increase Our Numbers
The Tea Party Movement continues to grow.  However, to preserve the self-governing principles enshrined in the Constitution, "We the People" have to be engaged in the process.  That doesn't mean you have to join a political party.  It does mean that you need know and understand the principles of liberty.  You need to be aware of current issues so that you can be an informed citizen. 

Forward this email to your family, friends and neighbors and ask them to join the Tea Party Movement.  Have them signup for our email notifications so that they can be informed of current issues and events.  As a thank you, when they signup for the newsletter, they will be able to download the following two documents:


COMMON SENSE: Revisited explains why there is a groundswell of people beginning to return to our founding principles and how this return can help us solve the many problems that face our country. It is a pamphlet written to transform hearts and minds.

THE LAW written by Frederic Bastiat is an essay on economics and individual liberty.  Its sound logic is just as relevant today as it was when first published in 1850. 

 

To get both of these, join the mailing list at the link below. We appreciate your donations as well.

  


Thanks for supporting the Georgia Tea Party.


Yours in liberty,

The Georgia Tea Party
