Happy Father's Day!
Fathers play such an important role in the development and character of our children. Whether you have been there since birth or assumed the role later in a child's life, you are the foundation of strength and love. God Bless all of you Fathers out there as you continue in the most important and rewarding job you could ever ask for! (The same goes for any single mothers who are doing it all alone and have to fill that role as well!)
Join us in the Petunia Fest Parade,July 3rd in Dixon!
The Sauk Valley Tea Party will be part of the Fourth of July parade again this year. We had a great time last year and were extremely well received by the crowd! This is a chance for you to help us show our local communities that we are still here and going strong! Most of us will walk the one mile parade route, but we will have a trailer with park benches for those who wish to participate, but are unable to walk the route. This is a great opportunity for your whole family to get involved and have some fun!
We have pocket constitutions, key chains and more to handout along the route. I will send information on line-up time and location once it is available. The parade begins at 1:00pm. (A special thanks to Lyle and Rosella Warner for pulling this together for us again this year!)
We hope you will join us for some fun in the sun!

We made HUGE strides in the 2010 elections... but we can't stop there--our job is far from done! With our newly gerrymandered map in IL, we will have to work very hard to keep those gains we made last year! We risk losing many of our freshmen Congressmen in 2012 if we don't get involved and help get common-sense, hard-working folks to the polls in large numbers next year. If we let IL Democrats take those seats back, we risk letting them take back the House of Representatives...that would be VERY bad for the future of our Republic. The SVTP will be hosting many different election-oriented events next year. We are going to need your help to have an influence in 2012! | | Our Trip the Deficit Free America Summit was Great! There were not as many Presidential candidates as expected because most were at the Republican Leadership Council meetings in New Orleans, but Tim Pawlenty, Gary Johnson and Herman Cain flew in to address the Summit and sign the Lean 6 Sigma pledge. They committed to complete the Lean 6 Sigma program and complete a cost-savings project before taking office if they are elected. The pledge also included a promise to balance the budget without tax increases.
We had a very informative afternoon and had a great time getting to know our fellow-patriots from Schaumburg, Huntley and Rockford on the bus trip to and from the summit! Altogether, it was a great experience! | | This Week in Congress
Tom Latham introduced H.R.2188 - The LESS Government Act
This bill states that every federal agency must implement steps to improve efficiency. It also states that the savings found must be returned to the Treasury to be paid against the deficit!
Congressman Latham is also holding regulation round tables across Iowa to discuss the onerous regulations that are killing businesses and discouraging entrepreneurs. He is proposing legislation that would require all regulations to list Who proposed them, who wrote, them and include an economic impact study of the proposed regulations. He wants Congressional approval before implementation of new regulations by unelected regulatory agencies and periodic review of ALL regulations.
This bill states that every federal agency must |  SVTP Challenge The Sauk Valley Tea Party is issuing a challenge to every member of our mailing list: Attend at least ONE government meeting between now and the end of July.

Just the Facts Committee
This is not a political group. The main purpose of this committee is to research meeting topics and other issues to provide our members with concrete facts without opinion or interpretation.
Voter Committee
This committee will meet to plan and organize Voter Fairs, Candidate Forums, Meet & Greets and other events aimed at connecting voters with candidates/legislators and educating voters on issues concerning their local communities and the state.
Media Committee
This committee is the behind-the-scenes backbone of the SVTP and all of our efforts. Members of the Media Committee will develop and maintain lists of community calendars, websites, and media outlets for posting information on our events and meetings. They will also maintain the website and our overall internet presence.
Event Committee
This group will arrange our participation in local parades and plan and organize rallies and social events as well as our monthly meetings.
Flyer Brigade
The mission of the Flyer Brigade is to effectively distribute and post as many flyers as possible before every event. Membership in the Flyer Brigade can be as simple as committing to hang a flyer at work, church or where you shop. | | |
