It’s time to get off the sidelines and into the game Virginia!

For sign up information, please click here. Please join us. This is the most important rally in the brief history of the Tea Prty movement in Va. Instead of yelling at career DC politicians who often just tune us out, we can actually start affecting legislation and talk to local representatives that we have a lot of access to…If we can show up in Richmond en masse, we can send a strong message and we can help get real helpful legislation passed.

In addition:

Click here for more information on our successful protest at Senator Webb’s office. We will be having a members meeting on Feb 4th. More to come on that soon. We have a game plan to be ready for 2010. We need your support to make it happen.

Remember the Doug Hoffman/Dede Scozofava fiasco in NY in November? We have our own version of this happening right here in the 5th District where we desperately need to get rid of Tom Periello in November. More here. The Tea Party movement will not compromise our principles, unlike the GOP establishment in the 5th District. Trouble is brewing. Politics as usual, for both parties, is over.

Also a press release has gone out to every major media outlet in Va. announcing the official unveiling of the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation. The Roanoke Tea Party is a proud member of this group. Together we can make a difference. Our recent rally included members from Staunton and other areas due to our participation in this group. Working with the other members we hope to turn out thousands of Virginia Patriots on January 18th.

The Tea Party movement is gathering momentum as we move into this critical mid term election cycle. Help us save America!
