Which local candidates made the Tea Party pledge?
I attended an event last week where nearly 100 candidates local and state office all pledged to support the ideas of the Cincinnati Tea Party.
Here is a list of who signed up. In the crowded Butler County commission race, I notice Jose Alvarez, Wes Retherford and Jesse VonStein all signed up. Organizers said Cindy Carpenter had promised to show up, but that was the same day she had a seizure and was taken to the hospital. So the two that didn’t sign up are Gregory Jolivette (the incumbent) and Paul Nenni.
Here is a full overview of that race, as of the filing deadline.
There were also numerous local people there who are running for GOP central committee, including a couple incumbents.
Here is what they pledged:
I pledge to support the following core values and code of ethics:
Core Values
- Free Markets
- Fiscal Responsibility
- Limited Government
Code of Ethics
- Show personal and professional integrity in my actions
- Work within the law
- Communicate the core values in a positive manner
- Engage the opposition in a civil and respectful manner
- Stay informed on issues
- Lead by example
- Avoid conflicts of interest
- Act with transparency and responsibility

I find it interesting that this pledge is only one way. Nowhere do these tea party people talk about what sacrifices they are willing to make to cut government. Everyone wants less government, less taxes, yet nobody talks about what they are willing to give up to get this done…. is everyone under the age of 60 willing to push the minimum age to collect back? Anyone under 60 willing to get half the check they are due? Anyone want to go it alone on health care after age 65? Your private insurer will dump you without also having medicare. Anyone who is collecting or has collected an unemployment check willing to give that money back to help out? NO, the enemy is not the government, the enemy is in the mirror.

Wanted // New Tea Party darling to replace Rick Jones. Our new Tea Party Darling must not spend hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars to reward friends while laying of needed employees.
