"THE OPPOSITE OF BIG GOVERNMENT IS NOT SMALL GOVERNMENT BUT BIG LIBERTY" -

-- MARK STEYN (After America)

The TEA Party Maui is an active grassroots organization based on the island of  Maui, Hawaii.   The impetus for the TEA Party Movement is Excessive Government Spending and Overtaxation.   Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values:

Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.

Heather Pfitzenmair, Director of the Young Leaders Program at the Heritage Foundation, speaks to TEA Party Maui

 She entertained many questions from the audience and shared insights of the Foundation’s strategy of categorizing potential audiences into three primary factions: “saints, sinners, and salvageables”.  The “saints” are the conservatives who comprise our base that we support but do not need to preach to.  The “salvageables” are those people outside our base, but who can be converted to our conservative principles. This is the group that we must reach. The “sinners” are the committed liberal/progressives that we need not waste our time trying to “convert”. It was a strategy well received by the audience.

A child born today is the inheritor of a national debt that stands at 15 trillion and counting. 

Their future is bleak and they will be slaves to the debt as shown in this cartoon by Michael Ramirez.
