Don't Tag the Tea Party as Racist -
In a letter to the Daily Times, Joanne Yurchak sets the record straight
on alleged racism within the Tea Party. Such charges are a figment of
the Far-Left’s political creativity, an opportunity to distract voters
from what ought to be the real issues in Election 2012 – “fiscally
irresponsible policies, job-killing legislation, big-government
practices and failure to lead.”

Statement from the West
Chester Tea Party: "The recent shooting in Arizona should grieve all of
us independent of political party and ideology. Whether this is simply
the work of a mentally deranged individual or just an unstable
individual pushed to this incomprehensible action by a misguided sense
of patriotism may never be known. We need to first try to put ourselves
in the place of those most directly affected by this action and have
compassion for them. The West Chester Tea Party recognizes this violent
act as a warning to discourage those who attempt to use our movement’s
legitimate desire for liberty as a rationalization for acting out their
fantasies in violation of both our civil law and God’s law. The
participation of such people in the West Chester Tea Party is not
welcome. The ends never justify immoral means." - 01/10/2011
