Awesome Events Coming Up!
Hello Tea Partiers!
I hope you’re doing well, and your homes and cars aren’t too banged up from the hail storms last weekend! A lot of y’all have been asking about whether or not the Charlotte Tea Party is hosting a Tax Day Tea Party this year. No, we are not. I really feel that we as a movement have moved beyond rallying several times throughout the year. Yes, I am sure that we will still have rallies when the situation requires it, but I believe we need to move into a more education/activist movement. That’s the only way we’re really going to change our nation, and that’s the only way our movement will continue to have life. Otherwise, we’re just going to be written off as people that rally all of the time, but do little else. That said, there are some GREAT events coming up, and I hope you will join us!!
ATLAS SHRUGGED–THE MOVIE and ACTIVIST TRAINING IN CONCORD!!

ACTIVIST TRAINING:
This is a FANTASTIC opportunity provided to us by Heritage Action and Majority Connections! If you have not been to any activist training sessions, then you are not fully equipped as a tea partier. There is only so much info one can learn at a rally or meeting. I HIGHLY encourage you to attend this session, to learn how you can better affect your community.

I’m JC Smith and I just wanted to touch base with your like-minded group. I am in Lake Wylie, SC and I work with groups getting emergency preparedness setup.
Due to the Federal Government commandeering some of the companies that do Freeze Dried foods they have become harder and harder to get your hands on.
I am helping to provide Freeze Dried Foods to people in the Charlotte Market so that we are prepared and not left out.
I would be happy to host your group at my location to show you the fastest and easiest way to have plenty of food built up at your members homes.
I also teach people how to “Can” Fruits, Veggies and Meats – so they are prepared.
Please feel free to call me at 704-622-5041
