The contract is a grassroots initiative for the people by the people set to define the 2010 elections.

The Contract From America is a collection of 22 policy proposals developed and chosen by the American people. The Contract provides a vehicle for every American that believes in free markets, limited government, and individual liberty to get their voice heard. Voting is now open to every American, so that you can decide upon a final 10-point Contract to be unveiled on April 15, 2010 – the next round of nationwide Tea Parties. Go here to learn more, pick your top ten, and cast your vote.

Last week it was uncovered by Andrew Breitbart of BigGovernment.com that James Carville and the Democrat attack dogs are so afraid of the Tea Party that they are coming after its leaders. That means You!

So what to do? How about giving them the entire leadership team? The Tea Party Patriots have created a website to do just that.

“I Am The Tea Party Leader” allows you to upload a video of yourself letting the world know that you are a Tea Party leader. It’s clever and fun. Go here and take it for a test drive.

NEARLY THREE IN TEN CALIFORNIA VOTERS IDENTIFY STRONGLY OR SOME-WHAT
WITH THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT AND, SIX IN TEN HAVE HEARD OF THE MOVEMENT.

That’s over 12 Million people that are With Us!

Link to Field Poll here.*

Remember to put April 15th on your calendar for the Tax Day Tea Party II. This is going to be a huge rally, we’re expecting over 5,000 patriots—double the amount of last year—to come out and show support for the Silicon Valley Tea Party mission of Limited Government, Fiscal Responsibility, and the Free Market Principles our country was founded on. We must put our country back on track and hold our politicians feet to the fire. The expected turnout nationally is in the millions, possibly as high as 10 million. Over 2 million patriots are expected to show up at the D.C. capital alone, this will be the largest tea party ever. If you want to go to the D.C. rally visit taxdayteaparty.com.

As we put together the details of the event, check our website and Facebook group for updates regularly. Just so you know, we are planning to have an evening event with speakers, music and lots of rowdy protesters.

*Please ignore polling results regarding the birth certificate as this is not part of our mission, but was unfortunately included within the field poll results.

The California statewide Tea Party Patriots have petitioned an initiative titled “Citizens Power Initiative” to amend the California constitution. This initiative will make it illegal to use public employee wage deductions to fund political activities.

When this initiative passes:

• Public Employee Unions will not be allowed to use any portion of workers’ paychecks (funds that are collected by the government) for political activities. This would remove hundreds of millions of dollars from the corrupt Political Machine that dominates California politics and level the playing field for all groups and citizens.
• Public employees would regain the right to make their own decisions about their political donations, not have the Union Bosses play politics for them.
• Public Employee Unions and their politician cronies will have to ASK for voluntary political contributions just like everyone else!

We the people of California need to take back the political machine from the Unions and put it back in the hands of the citizens. The Unions control California’s politics thru political contributions taken right out of worker’s wages. The workers don’t even get a say in how the money is spent. That money goes right into contributions to political campaigns –- meaning big payback after the elections. Take a look at your congressional representative, chances are that the top three campaign contributors are Unions. The Unions control the California legislature and are driving our state into bankruptcy.

The “Citizens Power Initiative” will make it illegal for union dues to be used to fund any political business or activity. To get involved now go to http://unplugthepoliticalmachine.org/. Take a look at the problem and solution tabs to learn why this initiative is so important to our state’s and our own livelihood.

The Silicon Valley Tea Party Patriots are dedicated to be a part of the signature drive. We need leaders to commit to getting signatures for Santa Clara County. This is your chance to make history. And the Silicon Valley Tea Party Patriots movement is going to be instrumental in making this happen.

Many of you have been asking what you can do to help — this is your chance to make a direct impact. In order for the initiative to appear on the November 2010 ballot 1.3 million signatures of California registered voters are need. The deadline for signatures is April 15, 2010. We desperately need volunteers to collect signatures for Silicon Valley — our goal is 200,000 signatures.  You can find the petition here and the training video here.

Send an email to svteaparty@gmail.com for info on how to volunteer to be a leader in this campaign.

We need your help to Unplug the Political Machine and put Citizens back in control of California!

Kind regards,

Deanna & Team
