Council of Concerned CitizensAfter Friday’s successful rally at Cave Spring Corner, several folks found flyers on their windshields from the Council of Conservative Citizens.

This was not a group that had been invited to the rally, and while we have never sought to exclude anyone from The Roanoke Tea Party, our leadership wants to publicly disavow the Council of Conservative Citizens’ focus on racial separatism and “white rights.”

Some quick research indicated that this group has made a point to try and attach themselves to the Tea Party movement all over the country, using the crowds assembled to celebrate liberty and individual rights to look for converts to their message of racial rights.

We are not able to police who joins us in a public space – nor are we interested in doing so – but please be assured that The Roanoke Tea Party in no way supports the Council of Conservative Citizens. People of any background who are concerned about the loss of personal liberty that results from government overreach are welcome at any of our events.
