Merry Christmas!
With Christmas just around the corner, I am sure you are all finishing your preparations for a wonderful day spent with family and friends. From those of us in the Sauk Valley Tea Party, we would like to extend you warm holiday wishes! We all keep busy enough just taking care of our families, our households and our jobs, but you have made a committment of time and energy in all you do to stay on top of the issues facing our local communities and our nation. Thank you for your involvement and your efforts to correct the direction of our nation! May God bless each and every one of you! Merry Christmas!
Congressman Manzullo will visit the SVTP in December
I know how hectic things are at this time of year, but with the importance of this particular election cycle, many of you expressed an interest in having a December meeting. So, we will be meeting on December 27th at the Loveland Community Building
(513 W. 2nd Street, Dixon) at 6:30pm.
We will be joined by Daniel Sidmore, candidate in the IL's 90th Representative district as well as Congressman Manzullo who is running in the newly re-drawn 16th Congressional district. We would love to have you come out and learn more about both of these men who wish to represent you in the coming term! Our meeting is open to the public -- hope to see you there! | |
Good Samaritans
Hit Midwest Kmarts It appears that the Christmas spirit is alive and well! Read the Story Here | | Thank you to all who donated gifts or money for the homeless students at Rock Falls Middle School! We dropped off gifts for all 13 students and hope that they make their Christmas a little brighter! The Tea Party advocates smaller, Constitutionally limited government...which means we need to put our money where our mouth is! We need to step up where we can to help those who are struggling. Government has replaced individual charity in many respects, but we need to make sure that we are there for our neighbors when they need us! So, thank you, once again, for your generosity!

IL Primary Election
March 20, 2012 Don't let someone else narrow the menu for you! Be sure to vote in the Primary Election! I speak to people all the time who tell me they don't vote in Primary elections...that makes my head spin! WHY would you let SOMEONE ELSE decide who YOU get to vote for in November?????
We are counting on YOU to help us make sure that we end up with the right candidates on the November ballot! | |  Join us for our
2012 Primary Election
Voter
Information Fair
Sunday, February 26th
Sauk Valley Community College
1-3 pm
We are extending invitations to EVERY candidate who wishes to represent the Sauk Valley Area! Spend a few hours wandering the fair and speaking one-on-one with a wide menu of candidates. Take them to task by asking them tough questions on the issues that concern you most, then head to the polls in March, armed with the knowledge that you know WHO and WHAT you are voting for when you cast your ballot!
Too many people vote for a candidate simply because of the letter after their name--this election is TOO IMPORTANT for that! Do your homework and DON'T let the 'Politics of Party' keep you from voting for the BEST candidates!
We held two events in 2010, one before the Primary and one before the General Election. We had Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Green Party and Independents join us to meet with local voters. Don't miss this opportunity to educate yourself before the election!
