Who We Are:
In the Myrtle Beach Tea Party, we're everyday Americans who are concerned about the direction that our country has been headed for the last few years. We're tired of politicians who don't read the bills they sign, tired of big government growth, and tired of reckless government spending. And, we stand united against the inevitable taxes to pay for it all.
Our grassroots volunteers have decided that we can no longer sit quietly at home and hope for our constitutional republic to be restored to the core principles envisioned by our great nation's founding fathers. Most of us have never been political activists. But, we believe that if we don't take action now, future generations will not enjoy the prosperity and the freedoms that we hold dear.
Armed with knowledge and ready for action, the steadfast, collaborative volunteer efforts all across the United States will prevail against our country's slide into socialism! We must pass the baton of freedom onto our children and grandchildren.
