Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Congress to Reject Debt Ceiling Deal
Atlanta, GA – Over the weekend, President Biden and Speaker McCarthy brokered the Fiscal Responsibility Act to resolve the debt ceiling standoff. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The debt ceiling deal is a rotten deal for Americans, and every Member of Congress should vote against it. President Biden got the better end of the deal and Republicans in Congress should hold the line and vote against it so a better deal can be struck. We were promised $4.8 trillion in spending cuts over a decade. In fact, that’s what House Republicans passed last month. Now, instead, we learn that Speaker McCarthy negotiated adding $4 trillion to the debt over the next 18 months. Our nation is in a perilous situation with the debt. It’s unconscionable that a Republican Speaker is negotiating with President Biden to add to the national debt. “Our message to all Members of Congress is to vote no on the Biden-McCarthy debt deal, and to those who vote for the Biden-McCarthy deal: We will not forget it. November 2024 is just around the corner.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to Durham Report, Thanks Jordan for Launching Congressional Hearings
Atlanta, GA – On Monday, Special Counsel John Durham released his long-awaited report slamming the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia probe. Durham concluded that the FBI never should have launched a full investigation into Trump’s campaign, while also concluding that the FBI engaged in “disparate treatment” between the Trump and Clinton campaigns. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "The report is finally in, and it’s worth the wait – after seven years of lies and smears by the highest levels of the Democrat party and corrupt leaders of our nation’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies, we have a conclusive analysis showing there never was any ‘there’ there, and the FBI’s leadership never should have acted the way it did. “This week’s report by Special Counsel John Durham shows that not only was the idea of presidential candidate Donald Trump colluding with Russia a complete fabrication, but it was created and spread by his political opponents at the Clinton campaign. After Trump took office, government leaders then used this hoax to try to subvert Trump’s presidency. “Conservatives knew it was a hoax from Day One and will properly feel gratified by the findings. Sadly, it’s doubtful liberals will go through even a single page of Durham’s 306-page report to learn the truth. “Congress must investigate the new information contained in Durham’s report. Hearings must be held to uncover the full extent of the corruption. All parties involved, no matter how high-reaching, must be held accountable. “We thank House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan — who also serves as chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government — for announcing his intent to hold hearings on this matter. We are confident Chairman Jordan will conduct such hearings with...
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges House to Pass H.R. 2, the “Secure the Border Act”
Atlanta, GA – Today, the House is expected to vote on the “Secure the Border Act,” House Republicans’ border security, asylum and immigration reform package. In response, TPPA Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The ‘Secure the Border act’ is the strongest comprehensive border security and asylum and immigration reform bill we’ve seen in a long, long time. We support it, and we strongly urge every House Member to vote for it. This legislation addresses the ‘Biden Border Crisis’ and his administration’s abject failure to enforce our immigration laws and ensure the security of our southern border. This legislation will build the border wall, make E-Verify mandatory, and continue the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, among other things. With Title 42 expiring today, and a new surge of migrants expected to cross the border, this legislation is more timely than ever. “Once the House has taken action, the onus will be on the Senate to pass its own bill so we can keep the momentum going.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds 43 Senate Republicans for Demanding Spending Cuts and Budget Reforms in Exchange for an Increase in the Debt Ceiling
Atlanta, GA – Forty-three Republican Senators have signed Sen. Mike Lee’s letter demanding spending cuts and structural budget reform as a starting point for negotiations on the debt ceiling. In response, TPPA Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Washington spends too much and steals too much from future generations, and it must stop. We thank Senator Lee, Leader McConnell, and all the senators who signed this letter. This letter will give Speaker McCarthy maximum leverage when he meets with President Biden on Tuesday. “With 43 senators committed to spending cuts and budget reforms, Republicans can filibuster any plan that fails the grade, thereby ensuring that any debt ceiling deal is acceptable to both parties. “The debt ceiling plan House Republicans passed last month takes a responsible path to get spending and inflation under control. Biden should work constructively with congressional Republicans to adopt a much-needed course correction and start putting our fiscal house in order.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Slams Senate Hearing Attacking Justice Thomas
Atlanta, GA – Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing titled, “Supreme Court Ethics Reform.” The hearing is in response to allegations that Justice Clarence Thomas failed to properly disclose gifts such as plane travel. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "Let's get one thing straight, the attacks being leveled by liberal politicians and the media against Justice Thomas have nothing to do with any trips he took that were paid for by others, or any alleged inaccuracies with disclosing those trips. "Justice Thomas is under attack for the simple reason that he is a black conservative justice who refuses to cower to the left. Justice Thomas has stood for the Constitution since he was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1991. For three decades, he has supported constitutional principles, ensuring that the original intent of our country's Founders is upheld despite the ever-growing push by liberals to do the opposite. "Last week, TPPA launched an Align Act campaign in support of Justice Thomas. As part of the campaign, TPPA is urging its three million members and supporters to contact their Members of Congress and urge them to support Thomas."
Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to McCarthy Debt Ceiling Proposal
Atlanta, GA – This week, the House is expected to vote on Speaker McCarthy’s debt ceiling proposal, the “Limit, Save, Grow Act.” This proposal ties a $1.5 trillion debt ceiling increase to long-term spending cuts. In response, TPPA Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "The tea party movement began as a protest to out-of-control government spending, and Tea Party Patriots Action has always called for fiscal responsibility. Today, with inflation out of control because of the Democrats’ record spending, our country needs significant spending cuts now more than ever.“Giving a blank check to a debtor who ran up his or her credit limit would be irresponsible and foolhardy, which is exactly what President Biden and his Democratic cohorts in Congress want. “Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans are looking at what is best for the American people and economy and have presented the Limit, Save, Grow Act as a compromise for the debt ceiling increase. Under this proposal, instead of a blank check debt ceiling increase, the debt ceiling will be raised for a year, with provisions attached to help improve the economy, including clawing back unspent COVID funds, defunding the hiring of 87,000 IRS agents, who, if hired, would be empowered to audit the American people, repealing the Green New Deal, and capping spending levels for 10 years.“The Limit, Save, Grow Act is a plan to get America back on the right path and will benefit the American economy as well as the American people.”

Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to Trump Speech
Atlanta, GA – Tonight, former President Trump delivered a speech hours after being arraigned in a Manhattan courthouse. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement:“We, at Tea Party Patriots Action, stand by President Trump as he fights this ongoing, never-ending witch-hunt. There is no excuse for Alvin Bragg, a Soros-funded prosecutor, to bring charges against a former President and a current presidential candidate. Since taking office, Bragg has repeatedly downgraded felonies to misdemeanors or dismissed them outright. Now, he is literally inventing methods of prosecution to charge Trump with a felony. Disgraceful. This type of persecution – weaponizing the government against a political foe – has no place in America. Grassroots conservatives are fired up. If Bragg’s intention was to demoralize conservatives and mobilize his left-wing base, he’s done the opposite.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to Trump Arraignment
Atlanta, GA – Today, former President Trump will be arraigned in a Manhattan courthouse after being indicted by a grand jury last week. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement: “Today, President Trump is voluntarily surrendering to Manhattan prosecutors. In doing so, he is acting with respect for our nation’s laws. The same cannot be said for the Manhattan prosecutors who are arresting a former President because of a political vendetta – something you would see in the former Soviet Union. The weaponization of government against political foes is outrageous and something Tea Party Patriots experienced firsthand during the Obama-era IRS scandal. We, at Tea Party Patriots Action, stand by President Trump as he fights the nexus of ‘woke prosecutors’ and legacy media. This is a sad day for America and for the rule of law.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Generates Over 4,000 Comments Opposing New Gas Stove Regulations as CPSC Comment Period Ends TODAY
Atlanta, GA – Today, the comment period for the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)’s possible ban on gas stoves ends. Soon after CPSC Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. suggested a gas stove ban, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) launched a “Call to Action” urging its members and supporters to leave comments opposing new gas stove regulations. As of early Monday afternoon, TPPA helped 4,448 people to leave comments, almost half the total comments that were published. TPPA Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement: “There is no question the Biden administration wants to ban gas stoves, and the only way to stop them is to mobilize public pressure against such a ban. This is part of the administration’s ‘green agenda,’ which, as a practical matter, means making daily life more expensive and more inconvenient for hard-working Americans. With inflation already out of control as a direct result of the administration’s policies, Biden and his team should be embarrassed to propose new gas stove regulations. “Shortly after Commissioner Trumka proposed a gas stove ban, Tea Party Patriots Action launched a ‘Call to Action’ urging our members and supporters to leave comments opposing new regulations. We are proud to have helped generate 4,448 comments opposing new regulations. We will continue leading this fight, because it’s an outrageous left-wing assault on everyday American life.” In January, RealClearPolitics published Ms. Martin’s op-ed, They’re Coming for Your Gas Stoves and They’ve Already Started.
