Tea Party Resurgence Brewing in Massachusetts

Many residents in Massachusetts noticed less in their first paycheck of the new year due to a hike in payroll taxes that came as a result of the negotiations between congress and the president's “fiscal cliff” deal. Also, a renewed “assault” on the Second Amendment were among a couple of the many topics discussed at the state-wide tea party leadership meeting hosted by the Worcester Tea Party in Worcester last night.

A renewed commitment to the core values that made the start of the Tea Party movement great, such as fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and support of the free market system was emphasized at the start of the meeting, among the newly re-formed state-wide coalition.

Some of the many Tea Party groups represented were from as far as Cape Cod, Greater Boston, Greater Springfield and of course Worcester. In addition, there were many more representatives from other independently run groups in the state. They discussed a plan “beyond rallies” which included recruitment efforts and reaching out to like minded coalition groups in Massachusetts and beyond. “We want to re-energize the Tea Party movement here in Massachusetts,” said Matt O'Brien from the Worcester Tea Party.

This meeting is aimed to reconstitute, refocus, re-energize, and recruit the many concerned citizens who know that their state, but more importantly their country is in trouble. Many know that this country is still on the wrong track, heading in the wrong direction and lay blame on all of our elected representatives, but stressed keeping their mission on point and positive as they reach out to their family, friends, and neighbors in an attempt to keep the movement on a path that is inclusive and sustainable.

The groups' intention is to chart a course for the long term, with the ultimate goal to shrink our government to a level that is responsive and accountable to the people but one that can still handle the many needs of our state and country's citizens, and is also within the confines of the constitutions and the will of the people which our government claims to represent.

If you consider yourself a leader, a visionary, possess a talent that you are willing to contribute, or just want to be a part, this is your open invitation to our upcoming meetings. If your interested, Please contact Matt O'Brien @ 978-423-5747 for more information.
