Tea Party Update

The Independence Day Tea Party Patriotic Celebration for the Arvada, Colorado area is shaping up to be an exciting event. For those of you who are not familiar with the Tea Parties, this is an opportunity for people of all parties to come together peacefully and find common ground regarding issues that affect all Americans. For example, many Americans are concerned about the out-of-control government spending.

What is the objective?
Our objective is to gather a large number of people together so that our politicians will see American citizens actively concerned about our nation’s current condition and future

Where & When?
