The Latest News from The Akron Tea Party...

2012 We The People Convention

Posted May 15, 2012, 12:49 PM

We are happy to announce that we have set the date and location for the 2012 We the People Convention based on the input from nearly 300 Patriot Group members - 54% of whom did not attend last year's successful inaugural event. The 2nd Annual "We the People" Convention will be held at the Ohio State Fair Grounds, in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday, June 29 and Saturday, June 30, 2012.  This two day event will attempt to improve upon the highly acclaimed initial convention in 2011 that saw 1,000 Patriots gather for the first time to learn about our movement and our government, to discuss issues, to learn new technology and tactics, and to improve our leadership skills.
 
The 2012 Convention is expected to be at least twice as large with over 40 educational breakout sessions, speeches by nationally acclaimed experts, opportunities to meet personally with conservative elected local, state and federal officials and candidates. The full schedules of events and speaker names will be announced as they are booked. This year, we will also be able to provide RV parking on the State Fair Grounds to save on hotel cost and we are negotiating lower hotel costs as well. We will also have improved meals for all luncheons and dinners. The bottom line is that the 2012 "We the People" Convention will be bigger and better that last year and we want you to attend!
We are very pleased to announce that we were able to hold the retail price of the two day convention at the same $200 cost per ticket as last year.  Additional ticket packages and discounts will be release in January of 2012 including pricing for one day passes and group discounts. The Ohio Citizens PAC will also be offering a separate dinner package on both Friday and Saturday night. Our goal is to have the Conservative Ohio Senate Candidate for the Friday night dinner speaker and will do everything we can to get the Republican Candidate for President of the United States to be our key note speaker at a rally to be held on Saturday night.

 We will be making announcement throughout the spring as we line up the speakers and the rest of the program.  Thank you for your support of this important event that is essential to the development and effectiveness of our movement. We look forward to seeing you at the "We the People Convention" at the Ohio State Fair Grounds next June 29th and 30th

What is the “Tea Party”?
The name Tea Party comes from the acronym for “Taxed Enough Already” and reflects the fact that it is an apolitical grass-roots movement, founded by ordinary citizens, who are unhappy with the political direction in which Washington is moving the country. While generally conservative in outlook, members of the Tea Party do not specifically align with, endorse or support any particular party or political philosophy. Rather its members believe in the following key principles and come from all parts of the political spectrum:

* Limited, Constitutional Government
As the Founding Fathers knew only too well, government must be limited so as to protect the liberties of the people. The trend in recent years has been for the federal government to grow not only in size, but also in scope; encroaching into areas in which it has neither a role nor constitutional authority. We believe that federal government should be restricted to those functions defined in our Constitution, and that all other functions belong to the States.


* Fiscal Responsibility
Government cannot derive income by its own actions; therefore it can only spend money that it has first taken from the private citizens who earn it. The trend in recent years has been for the federal government to rely on deficit spending and consequently to run up huge debts that can only be repaid by future generations. This practice must stop. We believe that it is the responsibility of the Federal Government to cut its spending so that it can live within its means and, in the medium term, balance the Nation’s budget.


* Personal Responsibility
With liberty comes responsibility and the duty of every citizen in a free society is to take responsibility for their own actions, while respecting the rights of others. The trend in recent years has been for people to demand that “the government fix it” instead. We believe that individual responsibility, not more government, is the course that this country needs to follow.


Our Mission Statement
  • To promote awareness among the population of Akron Ohio, and its surrounding area, of the requirements and limitations imposed upon the federal government by the Constitution of the United States and on state and local governments by the constitution of the State of Ohio and the charter of the City of Akron.
  • To monitor, and disseminate details about, the actions of elected representatives at all levels of government in the execution of their duties and when necessary to challenge decisions and effect change when elected bodies take actions that are contrary to their constitutional authority.
  • To actively seek and encourage candidates who support our core principles to run for office and to provide candidates with the necessary information and materials to enable them in their bid for office.
