St. Louis Tea Party Coalition founded February 27, 2009 by 1,500 patriots. Fighting to restore Constitutionally Limited Government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility. Non-partisan non-profit. St. Louis, Missouri.

The whole thing started when CNBC reporter Rick Santelli challenged Barack Obama to come to the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade and explain to the people there why they should pay for other people’s bad financial decisions. He ended the rant by saying, “We’re gonna have a tea party here in Chicago . . . in July.”

We believe in small government and dealing with the consequences of your own bad decisions. We utterly reject the notion that the most productive and responsible members of society owe a government-mandated handout to the less productive and irresponsible. If anything, it’s the other way around. While charity is a cornerstone of our society and faith, it is nowhere permitted in the Constitution. Charity works best closest to home.

We are fighting to preserve our Republic. No country is free when its government can confiscate private property at will. And unread, unconsidered legislation scurried into law in the dark of night is not due process; it’s tyranny.

Come fight with us. Your republic is at stake.

    Honestly, you all are fairly misguided. There is no republican democrat or conservative or liberal. There are wealthy, and there are poor. We have so many ignorant things we use to distinguish ourselves from the Bums under a bridge. Race, religion, politics, guns, abortion, ultimately all these are division tactics to keep all of the lower 90% of the tax bracket from realizing how poor and subservient we are as individuals. Wealth is never created or destroyed only transferred. I see Thought Reform has worked well in this country as all of us are blind deaf and dumb to what is happening around the world. All of you are burden bearers who’s suffer so that wealth stays put. How about we focus on what we have in common with the less productive and irresposible because I think about 90% of the country falls in that category.
