Atlanta, GA – Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement reacting to President Trump signing a new executive order on energy independence. 

“President Trump continues to deliver on his promise to roll back harmful regulations imposed by former President Obama. Today’s Executive Order, which rolls back so-called ‘green’ energy regulations that kill jobs and harm our economy by raising energy prices, is an essential part of President Trump’s promise. The Executive Order also lifts restrictions on American coal and on-shore oil and gas production, helping our nation become more energy independent — which is as important economically as it is from a national security standpoint. 

“The American people elected President Trump to undo the damage of the Obama years, and reversing the deleterious EPA regulations is a major step in the right direction. Tea Party Patriots and our supporters are thankful we have a president who is determined to keep his promises, and we will continue to support President Trump as he keeps his word on economic matters, immigration policy, and other issues critical to our future.”
