Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds House Passage of SAVE Act
April 10, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Today, the House passed the “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act” (SAVE Act). The SAVE Act strengthens current law by requiring states to obtain documentary proof of citizenship before registering anyone to vote in federal elections. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "We at Tea Party Patriots Action are grateful to the Members of Congress who just voted to pass the SAVE Act, to reduce incidents of noncitizen voting and strengthen election integrity. "We especially want to thank the House Democrats who were strong enough to stand up to the radicals on the left wing of their party, who were pushing hard for all Democrats to vote against this simple, commonsense reform. “The legacy media keeps insisting that requiring proof of citizenship is redundant, because noncitizen voting is already illegal. What they don’t explain is that there is currently no enforcement method to ensure that the law is being followed. This is where the SAVE Act comes in — it adds an important safety mechanism to ensure the law is being implemented as intended. “Strengthening election integrity is at the heart of Tea Party Patriots Action’s mission. Ahead of the last two election cycles, we recruited and trained 35,000 poll watchers and poll workers. “Last year, we commissioned one of President Trump’s pollsters, John McLaughlin, to conduct an election integrity poll. We learned that 87% of Americans agree that ‘proof of U.S. citizenship should be required to register to vote in American elections,’ and that 79% agree that ‘foreigners should be prohibited from interfering, including voting, in U.S. elections.’ "In addition to thanking Speaker Johnson and the entire House leadership team for scheduling and whipping this vote as well as they did, we...
Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Senate Confirmation of Harmeet Dhillon
April 4, 2025 Atlanta, GA – On Thursday, the U.S. Senate confirmed Harmeet Dhillon to serve as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in the Justice Department. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We at Tea Party Patriots Action are excited for Harmeet Dhillon's confirmation. As a senior appointee in the Justice Department, she will assume control of election integrity enforcement and other important legal issues. Election integrity is one of the most important issues facing our country and it's at the heart of Tea Party Patriots Action's mission. Ahead of the last two election cycles, we recruited and trained 35,000 poll watchers and poll workers. The President has already taken bold action, signing an executive order requiring government-issued proof of citizenship on its voter registration forms. Now we need Congress to codify the President's executive order through the SAVE Act. “Harmeet Dhillon will do an outstanding job protecting Americans' voting rights. We thank President Trump for appointing her and we thank the Senators who voted to confirm her." For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Advance Budget with America’s Agenda
April 3, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Today, the Senate will begin advancing its revised budget resolution. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "We urge the Senate to pass a budget resolution as close to the House budget resolution as possible, one that cuts taxes and reduces spending. For too long, Congress has pushed the problem of overspending down the road. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity with President Trump in the White House and DOGE identifying areas where spending can actually be reduced. The House has done its job. Now it's time for the Senate to be a part of history. By reducing spending and cutting taxes, Congress will set our country on the path to 250 more years of greatness by reducing inflation and incentivizing the American people to innovate and grow."

Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Trump Executive Order Strengthening Election Integrity
March 25, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Today, President Trump signed an executive order strengthening election integrity. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "Tea Party Patriots Action is thrilled with President Trump's executive order strengthening election integrity by requiring government-issued proof of citizenship on its voter registration forms, among several other important reforms. The legacy media keeps insisting that requiring proof of citizenship is redundant because non-citizen voting is already illegal. What they don’t explain is that there is currently no enforcement method to ensure that the law is being followed. This is where President Trump's executive order steps in — it adds an important safety mechanism to ensure the law is being implemented as intended. “Strengthening election integrity is at the heart of Tea Party Patriots Action’s mission. Ahead of the last two election cycles, we recruited and trained 35,000 poll watchers and poll workers. Last year, we commissioned John McLaughlin’s company to conduct an election integrity poll. We learned that 87% of Americans agree that ‘proof of U.S. citizenship should be required to register to vote in American elections,’ and that 79% agree that ‘foreigners should be prohibited from interfering, including voting, in U.S. elections.’ "We are grateful to President Trump for taking decisive action on an issue that's at the heart of our republic. Now Congress must codify these reforms. The SAVE Act deserves a floor vote in both Houses of Congress as soon as possible."

Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds President Trump’s Executive Order to Begin Dismantling the Department of Education
March 20, 2025 Atlanta, GA – Today, President Trump will issue an executive order that will begin the process of dismantling the Department of Education. This long-overdue action sets the stage for Congress to finish the job and return control of education to states, parents, and local communities. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "President Trump’s executive order marks the beginning of the end for Washington’s top-down control of our schools. For decades, the Department of Education has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars, fueled bureaucratic inefficiency, and imposed federal mandates that stifle innovation and competition in education. “Dismantling the Department of Education will allow states to allocate resources more efficiently, tailor education to their individual needs, and eliminate burdensome federal red tape that holds students back. Education should be driven by students’ needs, not Washington’s agenda." For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action Supports CR for Remainder of Fiscal Year
March 5, 2025 Atlanta, GA – President Trump has endorsed a Continuing Resolution (CR) through the remainder of the current fiscal year, which ends on September 30. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "On behalf of Tea Party Patriots Action and its members, supporters, and activists, I urge the Congress to pass a Continuing Resolution that funds the government at the FY 2024 levels for the duration of the fiscal year, as President Trump supports. This represents a spending freeze — and while we look forward to working with the White House and the Congress in the coming weeks and months to fashion a reconciliation bill and a long-term budget plan that works toward the balanced budget President Trump said last night he wanted to achieve, we recognize that the time and place for the budget savings necessary to achieve a balanced budget will be found in other legislation, and not in this Continuing Resolution."

Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Senate Confirmation of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education
March 4, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The U.S. Senate has officially confirmed Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education, marking a major victory for parents, students, and all Americans who believe in school choice, local control, and putting families first. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “For years, the Department of Education has trampled on parental rights and pushed a radical leftist agenda. With Linda McMahon at the helm, that ends today. “McMahon built WWE from the ground up, turning a small business into a billion-dollar success—because she knows how to fix broken systems, shake up bureaucracy, and get results. That’s exactly what she’ll do at the Department of Education. “As head of the Small Business Administration, she fought for parents, small businesses, and American workers—proving she has the backbone to stand up to Washington’s elite and put families first. “Now, she will fight to restore parental control in education, expand school choice, and put students before politics. Every American who believes in real education reform should celebrate this confirmation. For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].

In anticipation, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The budget resolution that House leaders have put together and that President Trump has endorsed is the best vehicle to follow the will of the voters and enact significant parts of the President's agenda. It keeps taxes low, provides for enhanced border security and strengthening our national defenses, and allows for the development of U.S. energy sources. In a few words, it opens the door to Making America Great Again. “This Thursday is the sixteen-year anniversary of the Tea Party movement, and for our three million supporters, this is the best opportunity we've ever had to enact the policies that we have championed since Day One. “The President and House leaders are off to a fast start, and we trust them to continue building on the success they've had so far. Passage of the budget resolution is essential, and we urge every House Member to vote for it." For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Senate Confirming Kash Patel as FBI Director
February 20, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The Senate has voted to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director, marking a major step toward restoring integrity to and ending the weaponization of the bureau. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "For years, the FBI has been a tool of the political elite, targeting opponents of the Washington Swamp. With Kash Patel as Director, we finally have a leader who understands the depth of the problem — and more importantly, how to fix it. As a relentless crusader against government corruption, Patel's sole focus has been on providing transparency to all Americans. Now, Patel has the opportunity to clean house, rebuild trust, and ensure the FBI serves its true purpose: enforcing the law, not advancing a political agenda. “This confirmation is a victory for the American people and a warning to the entrenched bureaucrats who thought they could operate without accountability. We look forward to seeing Patel take swift action to put the FBI back on the right path.” For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Depoliticize Justice by Confirming Patel
February 19, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The full Senate is expected to vote on Kash Patel's nomination for FBI Director this week. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The FBI long has been in desperate need of massive reform. Consequently, we at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Kash Patel for FBI Director. “For more than a decade, the FBI has wrongly been going after law-abiding Americans for partisan purposes — for instance, the FBI has gone after Catholics, parents who attend school board meetings, and pro-life protesters who peacefully demonstrate outside abortion clinics, among many other Americans. That’s wrong, and it must stop. “We know a thing or two about being on the receiving end of such government abuse — Tea Party Patriots itself was a victim of the weaponization of government, during the Obama administration’s infamous IRS targeting scandal. “As a former chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee, Patel exposed the FBI’s abuse of power under the Obama administration. He has vowed to combat the corruption that’s eroded public trust in the bureau. He has the drive and determination to change the FBI into what it needs to be – a politically-neutral law enforcement agency, protecting every American from threats domestic and foreign. “Kash Patel is an outstanding nominee for FBI Director, and he deserves the support of every senator.” For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
