The Asheville Tea Party is creating a political action committee to formally promote candidates it believes will further it’s agenda. This is an interesting step for the movement, which is becoming more politically active. You’ll hear a lot more about this early next month, when Sarah Palin takes the spotlight at the Tea Party’s first national convention over in Nashville.

Here’s the information:

The Asheville Tea Party is in the process of setting up a Political Action Committee, the Asheville Tea PAC. The purpose of forming ATPAC is to promote those candidates for political office who will advance the core values of the Asheville Tea Party, specifically expansion of individual liberty and Constitutionally limited government. From the main page:

NC 11th US House Seat

How will we choose our candidate?

Each of the candidates for the US House seat currently held by Rep. Heath Shuler will be given a questionnaire to complete. His or her completed questionnaire will then be available here at our website.

By vote of the Board of Directors, ATPAC will choose the candidate who we believe best represents our core values and is most able to promote and protect individual liberty and Constitutionally limited government.

Different people in every country get the credit loans in different banks, just because that is comfortable and fast.

Natural rights are the gifts of our Creator, not government. It is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, describing individual freedom. It only exists in America and is under assault today. Free individuals are the only pebble-droppers; the nails sticking up that government people are afraid of tripping over and seek to hammer down. It also means individual self-interest is more important than are the interest of communities. Obama and modern Democrats are opposed to that, as they are united in their support of Rousseau and Marx, not Jefferson and Madison.
