NC TEA Party Constitutional Caucus | Eastern North Carolina Now

    In the spirit of "We, the people", dozens of TEA Party groups across the state of North Carolina invite the public (valid NC citizens, only - photo ID required) to participate in an historic event Saturday October 17th. We will caucus in nine locations at the same time, following the same script, to pick our own candidates for US President and for US Senator for the North Carolina 2016 elections. No more accepting what the mainstream media calls the "TEA Party candidates". We will pick our own, ourselves. A public announcement will be made to all major media with the names of the two winners at the end of the caucus.

    Non-partisan participant registration begins at 9:00 and ends promptly at 10:00 a.m. There is no charge to attend. Media and other guests are welcome but only NC citizens may vote. The nearest location for Eastern North Carolina residents is in Kill Devil Hills at the Kill Devil Hills Town Hall located at 102 Town Hall Drive. NC residents may vote at any of the 9 locations, regardless of home address.

    Presidential and Senate candidate representatives will be present to meet participants and to answer questions. US Senator Ted Cruz and US Senator Rand Paul have committed representatives to attend in their stead in KDH, according to Mattie Lawson, OBX TEA Party Leader. We anticipate each of the other candidates will do the same.

    The official website of the TEA Party Constitutional Caucus is www.teacaucus.org.

    "The North Carolina TEA Party Constitution Caucus is WE THE PEOPLE - ordinary citizens across the state gathering together with other like-minded citizens to restore our beloved Republic with principled men and women who respect and abide by our United States Constitution and the inalienable rights of each citizen. To restore our exceptional nation - our Republic - we need to elect principled representatives. ..."

    The Mission - "One Mission ... One Candidate"

    "... The mission of the North Carolina TEA Party Constitutional Caucus (NC TEA Party Constitutional Caucus) is to find one United States Presidential and one North Carolina Senatorial grassroots candidate who embrace limited government, individual rights, fiscal responsibility, and free markets, and who represent the citizens of the State and not special interests. ..."

    Candidates for United States President and Senate are encouraged to send representatives to each of the caucus locations in North Carolina and to become familiar with the Rules of the Caucus, as well as their responsibility as a candidate.

    It is the hope that all candidates and NC citizens will participate in this historic, first time event, held on the anniversary of the British surrender to General George Washington on October 17th, 1781, that effectively ended the fighting in the colonies.

    The known candidates have been sent invitations to participate.

    Caucus participants are urged to become familiar with their responsibilities as caucus participants. All are welcome to attend, but only North Carolinians with valid photo IDs may vote. See Rules.

    Like the TEA Party Movement this caucus is without 'A' leader. This effort is truly Of the People, By the People, For the People. Volunteers have stepped up to organize the caucus as Caucus Moderators. The Caucus Moderators will follow a script at each location to assure uniformity of the process.

    After the Caucus is complete, all Caucus forms and vote tallies will be gathered from each location and upon request, be available for inspection to assure the candidates and the public of consistency and accountability throughout this process. Please see Our Commitment To Transparency on the website.
