The Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation is a collection of Tea Party and Patriot groups from throughout Virginia who have joined together to host the convention.
Between 3,000 and 5,000 Virginians are expected to attend the convention. During the two-day convention, speakers will address the importance of the Constitution and limited government during a time of unprecedented government expansion. Dozens of breakout seminars will be offered related to the Constitution/U.S. political history, current public policy and grassroots activist training. Congressional candidate and national policy forums will be conducted. The convention will end with a presidential straw poll.
All of Virginia’s congressional incumbents, congressional candidates, state senators and delegates have been invited to attend and participate, regardless of party affiliation.
With the convention being held just weeks before the November elections, this event will provide representatives, candidates and constituents a unique opportunity to mingle and discuss the critical issues facing our nation, fostering a better informed public and a more responsive and responsible government,‖ said Jamie Radtke, president of Richmond Tea Party and chairman of Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation.
It is important that Virginia’s elected leaders understand the concern that so many of us have about the enormous expansion of federal power and the exploding national debt.‖
