The Olympia Tea Party does NOT support violent behavior, violent speech or threats of violence or disrespect of any kind toward our elected or appointed officials.  We may disagree with their policies but we respect their position of authority and the rule of law.  We call upon all citizens to monitor their own speech and act with dignity and respect.  We all have a right to disagree and debate (even loudly) but none of us have a right to suggest violent behavior.  Such individuals or organizations who suggest "hanging" a public official and the like do not represent the Tea Party movement and we call upon them to apologize for and recant their inappropriate statements.

Freedom Summit 2010

March 13th

The OTP Steering Committee is very excited to announce the upcoming "Freedom Summit" in Ellensburg on February 13th (Saturday) from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM (we hope to wrap it up by 3:30).  This meeting of leaders is open to all like minded conservative groups and our aim is to reach out and be as inclusive as possible.  The size of your group doesn't matter since we recognize all groups are growing and will continue to grow.  Each group gets one vote.  Deciding on a few key issues will help us avoid stepping on each others toes and bind us together as never before.  Our aim is to begin coordinating all our independent groups.  Our goal is to keep our independence while at the same time forgge relationships and alliances for specific coordinated goals.

 

Everyone we have talked with has greeted the idea of this Summit with enthusiasm and "two thumbs up" and frankly it is high time  leaders gather from across the State under one roof.

 Confirmed speakers are:

 Speakers

 

Kirby Wilbur (keynote),

Justice Richard B. Sanders

Sen. Val Stevens

Rep. Bill Hinkle

Dr. Matt Manweller

Special Guests

John Carlson

 

  These are all key conservative leaders and we are working on a few more speakers besides.  The most important thing in my mind though is that we have a meeting of the minds and come away united in spirit, purpose and practicality.

 

This is no ordinary rally.  You will see from the attached Registration Form that we want to deal with only a few key issues. 

We will have some short workshop sessions and by getting your input ahead of time we avoid the need for lengthy debate. 

Our purpose is to gather and decide and come away united.

 

Each group should be able to send one person and the central location should allow us to come and go in a single day.  I've attached the registration form for two reasons: 1) So you can see  what the agenda is, and 2) so you can use it in your group meetings as a point of discussion so when your representative comes to Ellensburg on the 13th your voice will be heard.

 

Let us be plain about a couple of things.  First, this is not an attempt to start a political party (this is a summit, not a convention).  Second, we have no time for nursing grudges or playing politics.  It is imperative in the current political climate that we communicate, coordinate and cooperate.  That is what this meeting is all about.  So, be sure that your group sends a representative.  Here is what I am asking you to do:


New Event

To all groups concerned about abiding by the Constitution, loss of liberty, over-taxation, out of control spending, job creation, and our economic crisis.

Leaders of various conservative organizations from across the State are gathering in Ellensburg to network and decide our common principles and critical issues. 

 Each group gets one vote in the process to help develop these critical common issues and principles:

  1. Vote to decide the issues or principles that bind us together.

  2. Vote on our "battle cry" or slogan.

  3. Vote on where & when to have the next State-wide gathering in 2010.

  •         We encouraged you to send two participants, participation is limited so please RSVP ASAP.

  •        This is NOT a convention or the start of a political party.

  •         Participating groups will receive a list of participant's contact information.

  •         We have worked hard to keep the cost at a minimum- cost is $20 and includes lunch and handouts.

What:  This is not another rally.  This is a gathering of leaders to help chart the course for 2010.  This is YOUR meeting. 

When: Saturday March 13th, 2010 (tentative agenda)

Our policy on working with other groups is that of cooperation and collaboration, even with groups who may have differing opinions.  We seek to work with all groups whether small or large on the basis of principle instead of politics.  Our two issues are 1) fiscal responsibility and 2) Constitutional rights (local,  State and Federal).  Olympia Tea Party does not boycotted other tea party events.  When a disagreement arises we seek to communicate as best as we can and offer to meet in order to resolve our differences.  If the other group decides not to meet OTP, we will continue to work toward our common goals.  OTP pursues a course of communication and cooperation as equals when dealing with other organizations.


Since Bob Basso's presentation in Olympia on Jan. 14th, the Olympia Tea Party has been forming "Bulldog Action Teams" to tackle specific issues.  Our Bulldog Action Teams (BATs) will handle both local issues (like city budgets & school board issues) as well as State & Federal issues.  The bulldog is a symbol that represents our tenacity as we grapple with today's difficult policy issues.  Our goal is to tackle the issues and come up with positive solutions as we work with our elected officials.

 

This is an incredible program where your involvement will make a difference.  The time for talk is over!  It's time to roll.  Join one of our action teams and get started.

RECENT EVENTS

January 14th, noon @ Senate hearing room #1 - Tea Party Q & A session with Legislators

Several Senators and Representatives both R & D showed up to interact with our group.  We delivered our message loud and clear:  this is not the time to raise taxes, and if you do we will defeat you in November.  We heard from several Representatives that they need our help to pass good pieces of legislation as well as testify against bad legislation.  As a result we are forming fast action bulldog teams to testify at Committee Hearing meetings and visit legislators.


January 14th 2:00 & 6:30 PM. 

 

 

THE TIME FOR TALK IS OVER: AN ACTION PLAN TO TAKE BACK AMERICA with Dr. Bob Basso (a.k.a. Thomas Paine) Leave your politics at home. We're gathering as concerned Americans only!  We learned from Bob what is going on with the tea party across the country.  What is working & what is not.  Recent independent poles indicate that 71% of the country is with us!  If we stay true to our principles and stand up as American citizens we will turn our country around.  Yes we are!  We are organizing from the bottom up.  We are forming Fast Action Bulldog Teams to defeat six bills in the State Legislature this session.

The Rev. Wayne Perryman opened with prayer & the flag salute; then spoke to us about about the importance of  standing shoulder to shoulder as Americans of all ethnic backgrounds, just as our American heritage has shown us.  He spoke at length detailing the history of how whites worked to ensure that "all men were created equal" became a reality for all Americans regardless of color.  He cited examples of black colleges started by whites, and pointed out the civil war was fought mostly by whites to rid slavery from our land.

We disagreed with Bush's overspending and abandonment of free market principles in 2008; and we disagree with the Obama-Pelosi-Reid overspending now and their abandonment of our Construction in 2009-10.  We care about our kids and don't want to leave them with unsustainable debt.  And we agree with Hillary Clinton when she said "We are Americans and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration"
