"Constitutional Sheriff" Is Focus Of Chattanooga Tea Party Meeting March 21

Tuesday, March 19, 2013

The Chattanooga Tea Party this month will explore and highlight the "Constitutional Sheriff" – a movement that is gaining momentum across America. With over 3,000 county sheriffs taking an oath of office to preserve and protect the U.S. Constitution, a strategy exists to not only resist but to also push back against efforts to infringe on the rights enumerated in the nation’s founding document. 

Organizers said, "Gun control, federal intrusions, drone surveillance, and second amendment infringements are just a few of the threats to American citizens in recent years.  Just what do these all have in common and is there a firewall of protection that local communities and citizens can take to reinforce their Unalienable Rights as cited in the US Constitution?" 

The meeting to learn the “what, why and how” will take place on Thursday, March 21, at 6:30 p.m. at The Century Club Banquet Hall, 3221 Harrison Pike (off Access Road, just south of the Highway 153-Amnicola Highway intersection, next to The Lighting Gallery).

Please RSVP at Chattanooga Tea Party’s Facebook page. Donations will be accepted at the event to help defray costs.

The Chattanooga Tea Party is a non-partisan grassroots organization seeking to educate and inform its members and the public at large of the fundamental issues and struggles our country is facing. It is committed to energizing voters to become engaged in the process of solving the nation’s problems.
