First Statewide Ohio Tea Party, August 1, State House - 2:00 PM

On Aug. 1st, Citizens from across the state of Ohio will converge on the State House in Columbus for the first state wide Ohio Tea Party. The Ohio Tea Party will focus on promoting and initiating local action and Constitutional solutions to problems. What can you expect from the Ohio Tea Party? The Ohio Tea Party will focus on principles over politics. You will hear from citizens from our communities about why they are concerned about the direction of America. But more importantly you will hear about how local action, constitutional principles, and state sovereignty (10th amendment movement) offer real solutions, and what we can all do to get involved. Who is organizing this? A collection of non-partisan Ohio grassroots organizations have come together as the Ohio Liberty Council to organize this rally. The Ohio Liberty Council includes leadership representation from existing tea party groups like Cincinnati and Columbus, 912 Groups, Americans for Prosperity, Ohiofreestate.com, and the Ohio Freedom Alliance. All our groups agree that we have let politicians take our country in the wrong direction for way too long, and we want to get back to the founding principles that made our country great, freedom and liberty. Liber-Tea is brewing again in Ohio. So save the date and plan to join us in Columbus to show your support for the great American principles of freedom and liberty! Please note there is no state wide rally on July 4th as some may have heard, Aug 1 is the new date.
