WHY TEAPARTY? It’s a matter of right and wrong.

It’s way beyond parties and politically correct outcomes.

Hi, my name is John Powser. I am the Independent representative to this grass roots effort. I am concerned for individual freedom, free markets, and the constitution.

If I am fortunate enough for anyone to read this, I would appreciate both brutal and friendly feedback. Before I go into detail pursuing this vector, I need to know if anyone else gives a hoot.

I would like to deal with a subject that is so large that is both exciting and intimidating.

I want to explore the currently dominant philosophy of moral relativism and why it leads to immoral and irrational government action. (It depends on what the definition of is is.) http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-relativism/

The opposite of moral relativism is moral objectivism. Objectivism holds that there is an objective, tangible reality that exists independent of our feelings and perceptions. Our reasoning mind is the means of understanding and dealing with reality. If a society is to grow and prosper, there must be objective codes of conduct to assure predictable and effective interaction.

The founding fathers based the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution on this. They understood, on an unprecedented level, that freedom of individual action would create a hyper dynamic of growth and prosperity.

Life - Liberty – Pursuit of Happiness, these should protected by government, not constrained by government. Government’s role is to protect the codes of behavior and the laws of interaction that allow individuals to strive and succeed without violating the rights of their fellow citizens.

This seems so obvious to us. How could we have strayed so far from the intent of the Founders? My premise is that moral relativism is at the root of this evil. If all codes are relative, then any code is valid – it depends! Progressives see the Constitution as an inconvenient constraint that gets in the way of their preferred outcomes.

If enough of you are interested, we can explore why a lack of moral objectivism leads to the irrational and immoral government that we have today.

We can explore and explain irrational actions such as:

Spending on government at levels that will certainly bankrupt the country,

Taking the output of producers and giving it to moochers,

Devolving our sovereignty through open borders,

Having given up control of huge portions of our markets and our liberties to government,

Etc, Etc.

It’s not a matter of Party, It’s a matter of Principle.

Let me know what you think.

In this age-old saying, the people in charge of congress are the inmates running the asylum. They do not care about the opinions of “We the People” and continue to run our county based on their own self-serving political agendas. And that’s where the tea parties come in.

The main media bias has been misreporting the tea party movement by stating that we are unorganized with too many messages. It has been said that the tea parties are about protesting high taxes, wasteful spending, over regulation, etc. Essentially, it’s all of the above, and then some. What the tea party movement is about is reasserting the voices of the American people.

Our founding fathers fought too hard to rid us of a totalitarian state for us to just sit back and do nothing.

Description: This Meetup will serve as a kickoff for organizing for the July 4th Tea Party in Chicago.

Christina Tobin is the Organizer for this event and can be reached via the Chicago Meetup Group.

The July 4th Re-Tea Party will be a truly Non-Partisan, independent event. We are encouraging all Americans, regardless of political or ideological identity, to come together and re-declare our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The Meetup will be held at Oak Park Library - Maze Branch at 845 Gunderson Ave., Oak Park, IL 60304, on Tuesday, May 12th, starting promt at 7pm.

A Tea Party is the demonstrated collection of our concerns over the increase in government intervention in our lives, our freedoms, and our pocket books. Our goal is to coordinate a truly non-partisan nationwide Tea Party event on July 4th in to one easy to navigate and user friendly place on the web.

We are not all Republicans, we are not all part of the 912 project, we are not all Libertarians. Some of us are Democrats, many of us work with TaxDayTeaParty.com, others with TaxDayCoalition.com, and America Again!, TeaPartyRevolution.com or a host of other well intentioned movements, political parties, and/or organizations. However, we are all here as individuals concerned with the direction of our country and distraught over the destruction of our Constitution.

We have our own ideas, political tendencies, and personal desires, and we must respect them among one another. In order to take on the trend toward tyranny, we must organize ourselves across many groups to inform, encourage and cooperate with one another, setting aside our relatively minute disagreements. If you are an organizer or would like to be, let us know if you are ready to take an active stand.

“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” - Thomas Jefferson
