Not totally surprised by this: As a tea party leader, I’ve wanted to be independent of the Republican Party for many reasons. I wanted to be free to hold Republicans accountable. I wanted to avoid the charge of being a Republican auxiliary. I wanted to focus on the core beliefs of tea party: fiscal responsibility, [...]

February 20, 2013 By

March 4, 2012 By
One of the three forums hosted by BARW, CLAR, and SJRW this past Thursday was the race for Party Chair between incumbent Jared Woodfill and challenger Paul Simpson. Only problem is that you can’t have a forum if one guy doesn’t show up. Mr. Woodfill had other obligations and couldn’t make it, leaving Paul with [...]
