“I have had pro-life events that our local “tea party” group refuses to advertise”
Understand the Tea Party is different in different area’s, which is why we are the United States, meaning more local control as the founders wanted it.
Our Tea Party here has supported anti-abortion meetings and strongly stands against gay marriage, so if this is your local critical issues are these make it happen at the Tea Party, because the Tea Party is the closest you can get to “We the People”. Meaning if you cannot get it to happen at the Tea Party meetings then it is not that critical to your group. We see morals as number 1 overall issue, fix it and we are on the path to fixing all other problems.
In Pgh, there is irrefutable proof that Planned Parenthood may be opening one of it’s supercenters. Our 9.12 group & Tea Party “leaders” won’t even disseminate that information.
This is not just a local thing. I have seen articles as well as TV interviews about Tea Party leaders distancing themeslves from social issues. While I agree with the Tea Party on fiscal policies, I am disappointed that they will not acknowledge that social policies are intertwined with fiscal ones.
