Hispanic Conservatives Speak Out |
The Tea Party is conservative national movement that seeks to reduced government spending, lower taxes, reduction of the national debt and the federal budget and adheres to the pure and original interpretation of the U. S. Constitution. The name "Tea Party" is a reference to the Boston Tea Party, a protest by colonists who objected to a British tax on tea in 1773 and demonstrated by dumping British tea taken from docked ships into the harbor. Their rallying cry of "no taxation without representation" has become a slogan of the Tea Party movement.
Many people believe that because the Tea Party is a conservative movement, Hispanics do not have a role or interest in it, however this is not true. Hispanics not only are involved, there is a strong effort to reach out, and inform and educate them about conservative issues.

Hispanics have conservative cultural values which include family and religion. However, liberal Democrats have blinded them with fears and racism. Liberal Democrats have made many of them dependent on the government, while establishing political bosses to control them politically and economically.

Holding a local, state, or federal elected official accountable is basic to the Constitution of the United States. Elected officials should represent the people who elected them, and be responsive to them and their desires.
Tea Party groups are being organized throughout Hispanic communities in Texas to educate and inform them about the Constitution, and to teach them how to hold their elected officials accountable. Key to this accountability is shrinking the national debt, lowering taxes, and making government less of burden for the growth of private enterprise and business.
A government that can give you everything is also a government that can take it away. Hispanics, as well as all Americans, should be economically and politically independent. There is a new wind blowing…
