Dear Conspiracy Theorists | Tea Party ‘09
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009Several acclaimed newspapers and journalist have labeled the Tea Party movement as a “vast right wing conspiracy” orchestrated by Rick Santelli and well funded Republican political organizations.
The Political Exploration and Awareness Committee PAC (“PEAC”) was founded in 2008 by two 24 year old individuals fed up with politicians and politicos on both “sides” of the aisle.
As the government infuses itself with the right to make decisions for us, to tax free enterprise, free thought, and human action, PEAC PAC would like to make it clear that this Tea Party movement is not funded, affiliated, or in any way connected to any political party or other political organization, and we only wish we were well funded.
Our team is a small group of young individuals who see the future as an opportunity to reinvigorate our faith in voluntary action. We recognize that many of our chosen leaders have good intentions. There are good Republicans. There are wise Democrats. Libertarians and third parties deserve more respect. But, the independent mind should always be championed.
PEAC PAC does not speak nor represent any of the other organizations promoting Tea Parties in various cities on a variety of dates. ReTeaParty.com was set up immediately after a few individuals within our organization saw Rick Santelli’s now infamous “rant” with the purpose of organizing a portal for event coordination that would not be hijacked by partisan organizations and would remain true to the independent and decentralized spirit that characterizes true capitalism.
