Looking for a place to be heard and actually be able to participate in government? The Tea Party is the place to do that. I know because that's how I got involved in self-government.

As a resident of Virginia Beach for thirty years, I realize the importance of being involved like never before. Being a member of the VBTP has given me the opportunity to personally get to know those that govern us and keep tabs on how are tax dollars are spent and that those that govern us follow our state and federal constitutions. If you would like to be a part of one of the biggest grass root organizations in the country; join us.

"The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight." — Theodore Roosevelt
