    These results are significant in light of the fact that North Carolina is a 'winner take all state,' A candidate can win with far less than 40% of the vote to win our state. Also, the primary date has been moved from May to March, 2016. It is more critical that WE need to unite behind one candidate or we run the risk of being stuck with a compromised, progressive candidate.

    The NC TEA Party Constitutional Caucus was held in nine locations across the state before the filing date to allow for fair and open meetings in a manner that facilitated the business of the NC TEA Party Constitutional Caucus that respected the rights of all, and encouraged each registered individual to participate in this state-wide caucus.

    Citizens of all political stripes networked with each other and grassroots organizations to organize and run the individual Caucus locations. Their coordination and cooperation attests to the success of this historic first. This Caucus was born out of frustration with both political parties who have embraced failed Progressive policies that betray Constitutional authority and the campaign promises made to the citizens of the United States. The mission of the NC TEA Party Constitutional Caucus was to find one United States President 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.

    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. This was about 'ME' THE PEOPLE.
