About
Welcome to the Starkville T.E.A. Party Web site. Here you will be able to locate valuable information relating to the Starkville T.E.A. Party and related resources. The Starkville TEA Party is a non-partisan grassroots organization of individuals united by our core values derived from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America, and the Bill of Rights as explained in the Federalist Papers. We recognize and support the strength of grassroots organization powered by activism and civic responsibility at a local level. We hold that the United States is a republic conceived by its architects as a nation whose people were granted “unalienable rights” by our Creator. Chiefly among these are the rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The STARKVILLE TEA PARTY (STP) stands with our founders, as heirs to the republic, to claim our rights and duties which preserve their legacy and our own. We hold, as did the founders, that there exists an inherent benefit to our country when private property and prosperity are secured by natural law and the rights of the individual. Therefore, for God and Country, we associate ourselves together for the following purposes: to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, to attract, inform, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens within Oktibbeha County, and the State of Mississippi to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets.

I personally feel our country is under judgement. The divison and strife that we seem to be plauged with are more than likely the beginnings of the bitter harvest of sowing the wind four decades or better. Our popular culture is unbefitting of a free people blessed with the liberties we have inherited. But all the politicol conversation is around money when in fact none of our plight has anything to do with money other than it is the manifestation of a more deep seated problem. America is cursed with a divided house from the family up. The two ingrediants to remedy the condition are the ones that have always been there-repentance & forgiveness. We may have to be brought down in humility to come to that recognition and that looks like it might not be to far off.
