                                            You just might be a Tea Party Patriot if you believe the following:
                                            1. The United States is a sovereign nation.

                                            2. That all Men and Women are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.  Among these Rights are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

                                            3. To secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men and Women, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed.

                                            4. We the People of the United States, to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do unite behind the Constitution of the United States.

                                            5. We believe the fundamental basis of government is to protect the people within from outside and inside adversaries who would destroy the founding principles of this country.

                                            6. To reaffirm the importance of the oath of office at all levels of government to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

                                            7. That no money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law for government expenses and not for private corporations traded on any stock exchange.

                                            8. That the federal government do those duties for the people that the people can not do for themselves. Included are those duties specifically spelled out in Section 8 of Article 1 of the Constitution.

                                            9. That powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the people.

                                            10. That now is the time for all good peoples to stand up and be counted in respecting those liberties inspired by our Constitution and fought for by our forefathers demanding there be no taxation without representation.
