Tea Party

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
Conservatives, if you, or someone you know, is interested in running for Congress, or any other political office, I urge you to recruit your team and file as soon as possible, the 2020 election is going to be a great year for conservatives.

By Richard A Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
All conservatives are deeply in debt to David Koch. I know very little about the depth and reach of the Koch brothers ideological activities, but what very little I do know caused me to realize it’s unprecedented in the conservative movement, and not really appreciated by most conservatives.

Sen. Rand Paul was not the only one to bemoan the “death” of the tea party last month. As long as there is liberty in America, there will be a tea party movement. As long as there is liberty in America, there will be a tea party movement—the liberty movement, if you will—in America. Sam Adams started it in Boston in December 1773. Our Founding Fathers passed it on to the next generation. The torch of liberty continued passing from one generation to the next. This generation’s tea party movement intends to pass the torch of liberty to our children and grandchildren so they, too, can be free to pursue their American dream.

From our perspective the spending deal was no victory, but another “fear The Turtle” moment in which the not-so-subtle big spending hand of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell manipulated the White House and the House Republican Leadership into once again abandoning any pretense of fiscal restraint.

President Trump and conservatives won a big victory in the Supreme Court’s Wall ruling and in the otherwise disastrous spending bill, but we must be prepared to renew the immigration fight when Congress returns in September and takes-up the next round of spending bills.

Principles matter in elections, and with all four legs of the 2016 big table coalition working full throttle on his behalf Donald Trump is a shoo-in for reelection, but a stool or table supported only by the one leg of Donald Trump’s outsized personality is likely to crash on Election Day.

The Trump administration projected in March that this year’s deficit will hit $1.1 trillion, up from last year’s deficit of $779 billion – a figure comparable to the Obama-era deficit. After months of urging congressional and administration negotiators to prioritize reductions in spending, the Conservative Action Project has come out in opposition to this irresponsible bipartisan budget deal.

The voters who want fiscal responsibility who powered the Tea Party Wave and the Trump Movement haven’t gone away. While they may grudgingly support President Trump in 2020 against a Far-Left progressive Democrat, congressional Republicans who think they can spend their way to reelection will face the wrath of those voters.

As vigorous and enthusiastic campaigner as Donald Trump is, he can only show up the weekend before the election to save a few congressional candidates whose campaigns are lagging. If you want to win, nationalize the election and start campaigning NOW on the Trump agenda.

Today the Republican Party is conducting primary elections in the key states of Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana where principled limited government constitutional conservatives are battling the GOP establishment for U.S. Senate, House and state office nominations. Here are some endorsements in key races.

Through their direct mail campaign,  Fauquier County, VA conservatives won control of their Republican Party committee. They increased their voter turnout from the last reconstitution election by almost 20%, won the Chairmanship and even more revealing, they won 88% of the contested precinct committee seats on election day!

“I think the Afghan war is long past its mission. I think we killed and captured and disrupted the people who attacked us on 9/11 long ago. And I think now it's a nation building exercise... I think after 15 years and a trillion dollars that it's time for them to take over their country.” Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)

We urge CHQ readers to call the toll-free Capitol Switchboard (1-866-220-0044) to ask for House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Tell Rep. McCarthy that the Freedom Caucus is right: We support funding our troops, however, growing the size of government by 13 percent is not what the voters sent Republicans to Congress to do.

The central message of the poll is “dance with the one who brung ya,” and more specifically, dance with the Trump voters and their agenda.

If the GOP Congress doesn't produce on the Obamacare repeal don’t be intimidated about running for office - if there was ever a year in which being an incumbent and having the support of lobbyists, insiders and political powerbrokers was a hindrance, not a help, 2018 will be that year.

Asset forfeiture without conviction has been described by conservative constitutionalist giant Justice Clarence Thomas as “policing for profit" while calling into question its constitutionality.

We urge our conservative friends in Oklahoma Congressional District 2 to go back and read over what Rep. Markwayne Mullin said about why he voted to fund Obama’s illegal executive amnesty and then ask themselves if this is the kind of dupe. dope and liar they want to continue to represent them in Congress.

While President Trump holds a 47 percent approval rating, at 29 percent Speaker Paul Ryan's abysmal approval rating is beginning to drag down the whole GOP, and especially its establishment candidates.

Tea Party activists across the country tell Breitbart News the mainstream media, with help from “Deep State” bureaucrats, is doing the work of the Democratic Party in an effort to undermine the political agenda of Donald Trump, the duly elected President of the United States.

At this pivotal moment in U.S. history, when our leaders ought to be standing stronger and fighting harder than ever for us - they've chosen to wave a white flag in the face of government overreach and overspending. The only thing that gets their attention is a primary! Every one of them is guilty until proven innocent! Primary Them! Phyllis Schlafly, December 2015.
