Mission
Our mission is to attract, organize, educate, inform, and mobilize fellow citizens for the purpose of securing public policy consistent with our core values.  Powered by activism and civic responsibility at the local level, we will organize and exercise all legal tea'dmeans available to:

Principles
We believe in the Constitution of the United States, Free Markets, Limited Government, and Fiscal Responsibility.  We are a non-partisan, grassroots assembly of individuals united by core values derived from the Constitution of the United States of America, the Bill Of Rights, the Federalist Papers, and the Declaration of Independence.

Core Values
Uphold the Constitution: Our core values are the same as those upon which the United States of America was founded and are derived from a belief in free will and the primacy of individual responsibility. We uphold, believe in, and martha_n_betsysupport the original intent of the Constitution of the United States of America.
Free Markets: Free markets are the economic consequence of personal liberty. We believe, as our founding fathers did, that personal and economic freedom are indivisible. Government interference distorts free markets and inhibits the pursuit of individual and economic liberty; therefore, we demand limited government.
Limited Government: We are inspired by our founding documents and regard the Constitution of the United States to be the supreme law of the land. We believe that it is possible to know the original intent for the government set forth by the founders, and stand in support of that intent. Like the founders, we support States' sovereignty for those powers not expressly stated in the Constitution as belonging to the federal government. As government is of the people, by the people, and for the people, in all matters we support the personal liberty of the individual within the rule of law.
Fiscal Responsibility: Limited government, designed to protect the blessings of liberty, must be fiscally responsible. The actions of government must not result in onerous burdens of taxation.
Increasing taxation unjustly restricts the very liberty limited government is designed to protect and erodes the rights that the Constitution is designed to secure. Additionally, increasing and on-going national debt is a grave threat to our national sovereignty. We therefore demand from our governments: fiscal responsibility with a plan of reduced spending and debt, and balanced budgets without the creation of further debt.
