Our Cause: Coming Together for Change

The TOP tea party believes that governments at all levels in our lives – County, Illinois, and U.S. – have moved away from the ideals our Founding Fathers expressed. As a result, government has grown vastly too large, expensive, burdensome, and unresponsive while “unalienable rights” and the “Blessings of Liberty” have grown correspondingly less present in our everyday lives.

The Illinois Patriot Alliance Tinley Orland Palos Tea Party as an organization believes in Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets.

We are a non-partisan grassroots organization of individuals united by our core values derived from the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America, the Bill Of Rights as explained in the Federalist Papers.

We recognize and support the strength of grassroots tea party organization powered by activism and civic responsibility at a local level.

We hold that the United States is a republic conceived by its architects as a nation whose people were granted “unalienable rights” by our Creator. Chiefly among these are the rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” We stand with our founders, as heirs to the republic, to claim our rights and duties which preserve their legacy and our own. We hold, as did the founders, that there exists an inherent benefit to our country when private property and prosperity are secured by natural law and the rights of the individual.

We urge all citizens who value these stated principals, regardless of party affiliation or any other factor, to join with us as we unite to return to our governments to policies and ideals which founded and built our great nation.
