Tea Party Patriots Action Opposes Nomination of Jack Lew to Serve as U.S. Ambassador to Israel 

Atlanta, GA – Today, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold a hearing on President Biden’s nomination of former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to be the U.S. Ambassador to Israel. In opposition to Lew’s nomination, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:   “Jack Lew should not serve as U.S. Ambassador to Israel. Not only was Lew one of the architects of the disastrous 2015 Iranian nuclear deal that President Biden is trying to revive, but Lew is an 'Iran sympathizer,' as Sen. Tom Cotton correctly points out. Lew lied to Congress about helping Iran dodge American sanctions, and he defended the Obama Administration’s refusal to veto blatant antisemitic resolutions proposed by the U.N. Security Council. At a time when Iran is funding and training terrorist groups to eradicate Israel and murder Americans — as we just witnessed in the horrifying Hamas attacks against Israel — we need to signal to the world our unrelenting backing for Israel and provide the aid needed as it rightfully fights back. Putting an Iran sympathizer in the job of Ambassador to Israel would send the wrong message at the wrong time. Jack Lew cannot serve as our Ambassador to Israel. His nomination must be defeated.”

Tea Party Patriots Action Endorses Jordan for Speaker

Atlanta, GA – Today, Tea Party Patriots Act (TPPA) endorsed Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan for Speaker.  TPPA Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Jim Jordan has been a consistent conservative leader since he came to the House in 2007. He has always fought for limited government, a strong national defense, and individual liberty, and he shares Tea Party Patriots Action’s values in support of personal freedom, economic freedom, and a debt-free future. “He has built a record of conservative leadership second to none. His work as a committee chairman, leading to passage in the House of the strongest border security legislation ever, shows that he can build coalitions. But he has not been a rubber stamp for the GOP leadership; rather, he has been willing to stand up to his party’s leaders when he believed they were deviating from conservative principles – so much so that he became one of the founders and leaders of the House Freedom Caucus – and his determination to speak his mind is legendary. He recognized that there were significant irregularities in the 2020 election, and he had the courage to stand up to the Swamp and speak his mind about it. “Perhaps most importantly, he does what he said he would do, and he keeps the promises he makes. “There has been much discussion over the last few days about the possibility of raising the threshold to initiate a motion to vacate against the Speaker. We believe it should remain right where it is, at one. “The next Speaker of the House will face enormous challenges in working with the Biden Administration and the Senate to right our nation’s course, to return to fiscal discipline, and to defend our interests at home and abroad. He will need to be ready to fight...

Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Speaker McCarthy’s Opening of a Formal Impeachment Inquiry into President Joe Biden 

Atlanta, GA – Today, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ordered a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Since this inquiry was first reputed, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) has mobilized over 2,000 activists to visit their congressional offices and deliver letters to their Member of Congress requesting they demand an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. In response to today’s formal opening of the impeachment inquiry, TPPA Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:  “The Biden administration has time and again stonewalled the House’s legitimate investigation requests into the Biden family’s corrupt overseas dealings. The opening of an impeachment inquiry, which will strengthen the House’s hand in obtaining documents and witness appearances, is not only the answer to this stonewalling but the duty of the House. The testimonies and documents provide concrete evidence that President Biden lied to the American people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign dealings and even participated in these corrupt practices during his time as Vice President. Speaker McCarthy is correct to open this impeachment inquiry to complete the House’s investigation thoroughly. The American people deserve to know the truth.”

Tea Party Patriots Action Continues Pushing for Special Session of Georgia Legislature so Rogue D.A.’s Attack on Free Speech Can Be Defunded

Atlanta, GA – Today, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin spoke at a press conference organized by the Georgia Freedom Caucus urging a special session of the legislature to defund Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s attacks on free speech in response to her indictment of former President Trump and 18 others. Ms. Martin issued the following statement:   “When the district attorney indicted 19 people for trying to make sure our election was free and fair, she was wrong.  Every day that goes by that innocent people have to prepare to defend themselves in a trial, those wrongs continue. District Attorney Fani Willis has abused the power of her office for her own partisan political purposes, and that is wrong. Her wrongful prosecution must be defunded. The Constitution of Georgia gives the legislature the power of the purse. Working together, the Governor and the legislature must right this wrong through a special session of the legislature.  We are not going to allow the district attorney’s abuse of her office to chill our determination to exercise our God-given rights."

Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to Biden Celebration of Inflation Reduction Act Anniversary

Atlanta, GA – Today, President Biden is delivering remarks on the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, the $750 billion health care, tax and climate bill he signed into law last year. In response, Tea Party Patriots Act (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:    “Only in Washington would spending $750 billion that we don’t have be considered an ‘Inflation Reduction Act.’  It’s Orwellian and the American people are not fooled by it.  One year after signing his signature bill, inflation continues to be an albatross around the necks of the American people.  We’re continuing to experience the worst inflation since the Jimmy Carter era.  Inflation rose in July and it will likely continue to rise in August as gas prices eat a bigger hole in our wallets.  Biden and his Democrat allies in Congress who passed this bill on a party-line vote should be embarrassed to publicly celebrate this economic disaster.”

Tea Party Patriots Action Slams One More Indictment of President Trump 

Atlanta, GA – In yet another sweeping overreach, former President Trump and 18 other individuals have been indicted by the Fulton County District Attorney. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:  “President Trump's legal team spent weeks collecting affidavits — sworn testimony — from eyewitnesses who claimed to have personally seen election irregularities during the course of the 2020 election in Georgia. I am appalled and outraged by yesterday’s indictment, which is now the fourth prosecution of Trump by Democrats.  “There was nothing illegal in President Trump’s activities in Georgia.  During the recount, the President rightfully pointed out irregularities in Georgia voting – irregularities confirmed directly from eyewitnesses, as well.  When the president called the Georgia Secretary of State, he was asking Secretary Raffensperger to aggressively locate and weed out irregularities; he did not ask the Secretary to do anything illegal, either directly or indirectly.   “When it comes to the issue of Georgia’s electors, this is another attempt by Democrats to criminalize the political process and to criminalize First Amendment protected speech. The Trump campaign had a right to organize his electors, which could be either accepted or rejected by the U.S. Congress, as specified in the Constitution.  “This is the worst abuse of power in Georgia in my lifetime. Our country is being tested in ways we have not seen in many generations, but we must have courage and we must not lose hope.”

Tea Party Patriots Action Slams Yet Another Trump Indictment

Atlanta, GA – Former President Donald Trump has been indicted (yet again) by the Justice Department (yet again), this time for his actions in the immediate aftermath of the 2020 election. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:   “This is a disgrace. Every American should be appalled by this blatant abuse of power by President Biden’s Justice Department.  President Biden is trying to break and imprison his chief opponent in the 2024 election – that is the real election interference, not anything President Trump did in the 2020 cycle.  This is the now the third prosecution of Trump by Democrats, with a fourth prosecution expected by Fulton County’s DA any day now.  Meanwhile, the DOJ wants to give Hunter Biden a sweetheart deal and is covering up for ‘The Big Guy’s’ possible bribery and classified documents negligence. Conservatives experience persecution, while Democrats escape prosecution.      “President Trump did not conspire with anyone to break the law.   “President Trump did not orchestrate a riot.  In fact, he explicitly called on his supporters to be peaceful. When the protest got out of hand, he publicly demanded that his supporters leave the Capitol.  BLM and Antifa, on the other hand, orchestrated many deadly riots in the summer of 2020.  Biden’s running mate at the time, Kamala Harris, urged people to contribute money to bail out the rioters.  “If you’re a political candidate, and the results of the election are disputed, you have a right to pursue your legal options as far as the law allows.  Trump did that; he did nothing illegal or immoral.  The fact that he is being prosecuted is outrageous.    “No one considered prosecuting Al Gore when he disputed the 2000 election, mobilizing his army of lawyers to deny military ballots and hold recounts only in Florida counties that he won in a landslide but not...

Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Supreme Court Ruling Striking Down Biden’s Unconstitutional Student Loan Bailout Scam

Atlanta, GA – Today, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Biden administration’s $400 billion student loan bailout. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement: “We thank the six justices who stood strong for one of the Founders’ foundational doctrines – the separation of powers, a principle that is necessary to the prevention of a tyrannical government.“Before today, the Supreme Court had already overturned several major Biden policies because the Court determined that Biden had overstepped his Constitutional authority and usurped congressional powers. Those cases included the eviction moratorium, reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy, and the Covid vaccine mandate for private employers, among others.“Congress never authorized the president to cancel the student loan debt of some 43 million debtors. In fact, Congress explicitly chose not to authorize it – not once, but twice.“And within the last two weeks, both chambers of Congress explicitly voted to reaffirm their own power of the purse, and repeal Biden’s student loan bailout. Even more, the legislation they passed would prevent the Secretary of Education from launching any similar program in the future.“This was a high-stakes case and the Court decided correctly. Our founders agonized over the deliberate separation of powers. The Supreme Court rightfully protected that key principle.”

Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds House for Passing Save Our Gas Stoves Act 

Atlanta, GA – Today, the US House passed the Save Our Gas Stoves Act. This bill prohibits the Secretary of Energy from implementing the proposed rule, “Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Conventional Cooking Products.” In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:  “We thank the House Members who voted for the Save Our Gas Stoves Act. The Biden administration’s ‘green agenda,’ which includes banning gas stoves, is an outrageous left-wing assault on everyday American life. Incandescent lightbulbs, for example, are on the verge of extinction, thanks to a Biden rule taking effect July 1 that will raise their cost and make their manufacture prohibitively expensive. Washing machines and air conditioners are also on the Biden hit list – all to placate environment radicals. The House did its job today, but we need to sustain a grassroots campaign to hold the administration accountable.  “Tea Party Patriots Action is leading this fight. Shortly after Consumer Product Safety Commissioner Richard Trumka, Jr. proposed a gas stove ban, TPPA launched a ‘Call to Action’ urging our members and supporters to leave comments opposing new regulations. We helped generate 4,448 comments. This represented almost half the comments left for the commission. We won’t quit until gas stoves and other staples of everyday American life are safe from government overreach.”  In January, RealClearPolitics published Ms. Martin’s op-ed, They’re Coming for Your Gas Stoves and They’ve Already Started.

Tea Party Patriots Action Announces Release of New Documentary, Surviving Socialism

Atlanta, GA – Today, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) announced the release of their new documentary, Surviving Socialism.  This film features survivors of socialism who share their personal stories and their poignant warnings for the United States. The film also features young Americans – Candace Owens, Scott Presler, Morgan Zegers, and Maggie VandenBerghe – who inspire us to fight against the socialist tide.  You can watch the film for free here. Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “When we began making the film, a recent survey revealed that 70% of young people would support socialist candidates. This was alarming because if young people knew the effects of socialism, they would understand that it consistently results in economic failure, loss of basic human freedoms, and the deaths of tens of millions. This is why our documentary, Surviving Socialism, is necessary and timely. The people who escaped socialist countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and the Soviet Union need to be heard and their warnings for the United States deserve the largest audience. The more people truly understand what happened in failed socialist counties and the parallels that are happening in the United States today, the better our chances are to save our country.”
