“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Time to settle down for the long haul

Soldiers have been known to point out that "You can win a battle while losing the war".

While we aren't in a genuine war, we are fighting for the future of America, and the electoral victories last November was but one battle, and we have more ahead of us.  Congress has to be kept moving in the right directions, something that won't happen without citizen involvement.  And the 2012 elections are coming up; we're already seeing Presidential debates being scheduled

So a group of Walla Walla Tea Party Patriots formed what's best described as an Executive Committee, and have started organizing for the long haul here.  We did an excellent job in 2010, but it was off the cuff, and focused on one objective: getting the conservatives to VOTE.  Now we have other objectives as well, and it will take time and effort to achieve.  Even if you loathe committees (as I do), please consider volunteering for one.  And if you have volunteered (as I have), thank you!


The committee descriptions and objectives are available here.  If you are interested, contact us (addresses are on the sidebar, at the top).
