 Michigan Tea Party Alliance Guiding Principle

We are tea parties from throughout the state of Michigan who believe we were given an awesome gift of a republic based on a set of inspired documents called the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  In these document are three basic principles we espouse.  They are:
· Limited government
· Fiscal responsibility
· Free markets
These values derive from our shared heritage and a belief in a free person who exercises personal responsibility. 

A)   Limited Government
1)    Strengthen state sovereignty
2)    Make local and state governments stronger and more independent from national government
3)    Stop legislation which hinders personal liability: property rights, moral legislation, free speech, etc. and most legislation which removes personal choice from citizens who have unalienable rights
4)    Reform tax code (with focus on lowering tax burden for all citizens)

B)    Fiscal Responsibility
1)    Reduce the size of all government departments and bureaucracies at every level
2)    Reduce and limit grants and foreign aid
3)    Common sense approach to balancing the budget, no new debt and eventually paying off the debt

C)    Free Markets
1)    Limit regulation of any sector of business or industry
2)     Reform subsidies and taxation
3)    Eliminate government ownership in any private company or industry

Members must be defined as a Tea Party or 912 group.

We are limited in membership by the following definitions:

1.  Our member groups must have a regular membership.
2.  Our member groups must have regular meetings at least every other month.
3.  Our member groups must be in Michigan and regional in scope, meaning they are not over the whole state of Michigan.
4.  Our member groups must be in support of the U.S. Constitution and Michigan Constitution. 
5.  Our member groups must have been referred by another member so we know someone can verify the group is a Tea Party or 912. 
6.  Our member groups must be groups that are not tied to a political party. 
7.  Our members must not be single issue.
8. Our members must not be in favor of a third political party.
