For those that think the Constitution needs to be "modernized."

"It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern.

If governments derive their just powers from…See More

The following is a condensed version of our mission statement.

The Mission of the SWMI Tea Party Patriots is to communicate to our elected officials the message that they must return to the principles upon which our nation was founded: Individual liberty, limited government, and a respect for the Constitution.

• Respect for the Constitution
• Limited Government
• Separation of Powers
• Protection of Individual and Property Rights
• Fiscal Responsibility
• Free Trade and Commerce
• Fairer, Flatter, More Equitable Tax System


“Whenever our affairs go obviously wrong, the good sense of the people will interpose and set them to rights."
Thomas Jefferson –
