Tea Party Patriots Action Press Releases
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 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.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges House to Pass Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act
Atlanta, GA – Today, the US House is expected to vote on the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act. This bill prevents the Consumer Product Safety Commission from regulating gas stoves as a banned federal product or issuing a product safety standard that makes gas stoves substantially more expensive. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “There is no question the Biden administration wants to ban gas stoves, so Congress needs to step in before it’s too late. We urge every member of Congress to take action now to save our stoves from the Biden administration’s radical ‘green agenda,’ which is making daily life more expensive and more inconvenient for hard-working Americans. With inflation already out of control because of the administration’s reckless spending and anti-growth policies, Team Biden should be embarrassed to propose new gas stove regulations. “Shortly after Consumer Product Safety 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 helped generate 4,448 comments opposing new regulations. This represented almost half the comments left for the commission. We will continue leading this fight, and we welcome Congress’ efforts to join us.” 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 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."
