The Alexandria Tea Party is pleased to present the First Annual Tea Party Summit on Education -- right here in Richmond! It has become clear that the heritage and foundational principles that made us the greatest country in the world are not being taught or are being distorted in K-12 education. Our public schools are not teaching kids the importance of the rule of law, economic freedom and individual achievement.

You will leave this event with a step by step action plan, resources, tools, and a support system to truly make a difference.

We have invited national organizations that are 100% focused on getting young people not only the right information but also inspiring and engaging them on American exceptionalism. This seminar will tell you how to do it!

  • NEW RENAISSANCE IN EDUCATION
  • AMERICAN HERITAGE EDUCATION FOUNDATION
  • LIBERTY AND LAW INSTITUTE

1. Join us at Representative Cantor's Innsbrook office Thursday at Noon regarding the Debt Ceiling!

Join us on Thursday, July 13th at 12:00 Noon as patriots across the nation visit Congressional offices to voice their opinion on the Debt Ceiling! Richmonder's are urged to visit Rep. Cantor's Innsbrook office to show support for how he is currently standing firm on requiring spending cuts and resisting tax increases, and to insist that he continues to hold the line on any debt ceiling increase.

There are few districts in the nation as important as ours! Mr. Cantor is at the table with the President, the Speaker and other leaders and it is key that we make our position clear. The tea party is advocating that we not support any discussion of raising the debt ceiling without following the “Cut, Cap, and Balance” proposal. It is greatly preferential to not raise the debt ceiling whatsoever, but we feel that the CC&B proposal is the minimum requirement before negotiations can move forward.

WHEN:
Thursday, July 14th at 11:45 AM

WHERE:
Congressman Cantor’s Richmond Office (Innsbrook)
4201 Dominion Blvd. Suite 110
Glen Allen, VA 23060
(804) 747-4073
MAP

2. Additionally, Please Contact Leader Cantor’s Washington, D.C. Office

Would you please take a few minutes to contact his office using ALL of these methods?

1. CALL: Call his D.C. office at (202) 225-2815

2. EMAIL: Contact page

3. FAX (if you have the capability): (202) 225-0011

If you are feeling REALLY energetic, a call to his Richmond office wouldn’t hurt, as well: (804) 747-4073

PLEASE TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY, as we only have a short time remaining for your voice to make a difference.

What is the Cut, Cap, and Balance pledge?
From the website:

I pledge to urge my Senators and Member of the House of Representatives to oppose any debt limit increase unless all three of the following conditions have been met:

1. Cut – Substantial cuts in spending that will reduce the deficit next year and thereafter.

2. Cap – Enforceable spending caps that will put federal spending on a path to a balanced budget.

3. Balance – Congressional passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — but only if it includes both a spending limitation and a super-majority for raising taxes, in addition to balancing revenues and expenses.
