Philadelphia, PA (January 2, 2012) -- The Independence Hall Tea Party PAC, a tri-state (DE, NJ, PA) regional group, announced today that its 27-member Board of Delegates has voted overwhelmingly to endorse Mitt Romney for President.
The Independence Hall Tea Party PAC is the first Tea Party group in the nation to formally endorse Mitt Romney
"Over the past several weeks, a consensus has been building among our Board of Delegates that Mr. Romney is the most electable Republican candidate," said PAC President, Don Adams. "We, as a Tea Party PAC, have set winning the White House as our number one priority in 2012. We believe Mr. Romney is the onecandidate who can win the Republican nomination and defeat President Barack Obama in November.
"Mr. Romney is the only Republican candidate who has consistently polled even or ahead of President Obama in national surveys. He puts a number of 2008 blue states in play, including Michigan and New Hampshire. He also appeals to large numbers of independent voters."
"Mr. Romney, a devoted family man, is an incredibly talented, well-rounded individual with in-depth knowledge and experience in both the private and public sectors of the economy," said PAC New Jersey Vice President, Bill Green. "Ultimately, we believe Mr. Romney is a man of principle who, once elected, will lead our nation back to prosperity."
PAC Delaware Vice President, Kevin Street, said, "His vision of a strong America, one built on the foundations of free enterprise and meritocracy, is most compatible with the principles of the Tea Party movement.
"Mr. Romney has stated time and again that he believes in a limited role for the Federal government--emphasizing that the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution delineates between the powers of the national government and that of the states."
"Mr. Romney will pursue a policy of energy independence, lower taxes, and less government spending. He has promised to secure our borders and redirect our foreign policy," added PAC Pennsylvania Vice President, Sean Carpenter. "Under his presidency, the United States will no longer prostrate itself before other nations. We believe in a strong America--an America that is respected for its economic vibrancy, its military strength, and its constitutional values."
PAC Co-Founder, Teri Adams, said, "We realize that a number of fellow Tea Partiers are not yet where we are in supporting Mitt Romney for President--and we respect their varied positions.

Isn't it strange that a movement started by Ron Paul's son, Rand Paul, is endorsing Romney and not Ron Paul??
Huh The tea party was originally started under Ron, then hijacked by the Koch's, Beck, and Palin, then transformed into the ultra-right extremist branch of the GOP.
Looks like even the tea party will stab "their own" in the back by giving Bachmann the shaft in favor of Romney, whom the tea party protested against earlier this year

Suffice it to say that the Tea Party's foundations are complicated, but we all know that.
Glen Beck is a Paul supporter, so not sure where you're going with that. He and Paul are quite similar in many ways. They're both very unconventional compared with other conservatives today. The rest of them I agree with. It started out as a true grassroots popular movement but has been taken over by people with money, power and influence.

Seems like they're "playing it safe" to me. Very unlike the Tea Party if you ask me.
Some in the Tea Party have enough common sense to know that if the Republican candidate doesn't win, this is all for nothing. You cannot make a change unless you win! It's just that simple and they haven't bought into all of the hype and lies about Mitt Romney. Some people in this country still think for themselves.

Glen Beck does not totally support Ron Paul. He just says he supports him over Newt Gingrich. He does not agree with Paul's foreign policy ideas.
