Boston Tea Party endorses Joe Kennedy for US Senate
For Immediate Release
December 26, 2009
Boston Tea Party National Committee has, by a vote of 4-0 with two members not voting, endorsed Joe Kennedy for US Senate. Joe Kennedy is running as an independent in the special election to fill the seat vacated by the late Edward Kennedy from Massachusetts (he is not related to the late Senator).
Joe Kennedy recently announced his support of HR 4248, the Free Competition in Currency Act, a bill endorsed by the BTP National Committee as part of the "Honest Money" Resolution. At-Large Rep. Darryl W. Perry said, "Joe Kennedy is the only candidate (in this election) that supports a Competitive Currency (establishing an effective monetary policy to maintain strong currency at home and a competitive currency abroad for balancing trade,) and an Audit/End of the Federal Reserve System."
BTP Chairman Doug Gaking added, "He supports Ron Paul's Audit the Fed and Free Competition of Currency acts and takes a strict libertarian position on just about everything."
In accepting the endorsement, Kennedy commented, "I am very excited to receive the endorsement of the Boston Tea Party. Before I was a politician I was a TEA Party Activist and like millions of others I see the looming problems with our government. Our great nation is rapidly racing toward bankruptcy. Taxation is growing without restraint and the freedoms and ideals we grew up with are vanishing. All the while our politicians have stopped caring and stopped listening to the wants and needs of the population. As a country we deserve lower taxes and a smaller, more responsible and less intrusive government. As TEA Party Activists we insist on more freedom, State's rights and a government that listens to the people it represents not one that takes our money and turns a deaf ear to the population it supports. These are the needs of our nation and the foundation of the Boston Tea Party and my candidacy. I am running on Tea Party Principals and I will represent them fully in the Senate. My gratitude (goes out) to the Boston Tea Party for the honor of their endorsement."
The Boston Tea Party was founded in 2006 with a one sentence platform, "The Boston Tea Party supports reducing the size, scope and power of government at all levels and on all issues, and opposes increasing the size, scope and power of government at any level, for any purpose." In October 2008, the party's National Convention adopted the four point program of the Campaign for Liberty. Their program calls for an end to overseas occupation, a restoration of privacy and other liberties, no increase in the national debt, and a thorough review of the Federal Reserve.

Politicians need to take a life and Death Oath If they make promises, they should be held to those promises or forfeit their lives, Silly?, Whats silly about many people dying as a result of decisions made by those people with monstrous addictions to power and control having the nerve to say they represent us while killing us for weapons sells, power, control, etc. on and on? This relaxed attitude got us a President saying thing like (The constitution is a God Damned piece of paper)Hey Bush, why dont you come over for a barbeque, were listening to 2pacs "Letter to the President" Lyrics Like this, is why 2 Pac was killed by politicians

[Kastro]
Oh, youre ballers (Gangsters) in the White House, I hope you comfortable
cause yo I spend my nights out, with the lights out
under the safety of darkness, amongst the crazed and the heartless
and young soul bros, ready to rode a starship
Launch it, leave a ni**a flat for scratch, the Godless
I gotta get chips, but you can't understand that
Wanna ban rap? Stand back, before you get hurt
It's the only thing makin pay besides smoke and work
On a mission listen more chips my goal and position
First on my decision I realized the same ni**a
Trippin to drastic measures tryin to get stacks of cheddar
Muh'f**kers hate cops, wait it ain't gettin better
But you keep, tellin us, that it is
while your motherf**kin troops keep killin our kids, Dead
Don't be surprised if you see us
Dumpin with nuttin but artillery to free us, motherf**ker
Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops
Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops
[Edi Amin]
Strapped and angry, with no hope and heartbroke
Fightin first my trained brain until it's not so
It's hostile, ni**az lick shots to watch the glocks glow
Cadres of coppers patrol us like we some animals
And it ain't no peace, my peace a piece (Gun)on my streets
to people beefin and things, squeakin on they beefs for weeks
Mr. President, it's evident, nobody really care
for a struggle out the gutter, twenty-two with gray hair
I was raised to raise hell, frail and my heart stale
So I'ma bring hell to earth until my heart fail
But y'all play fair, give me and mine, I'll share
Til y'all show us you care, it's gon' be mayhem out here
Me and these 223'sll freeze the biggest with ease
I'm still a ni**a you fear, bring the beast to his knees
and I've been born to represent, for that I've been heaven sent
And I meant, every word, in my letter, to the President
s**t is still f**ked up y'all
And y'all wonder when it's gon' get better
and it ain't gon' get better
[2Pac]
Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do

Heavenly Father may I holla at you briefly
I wanna meet the President, but will he meet me?
He's scared to look inside the eyes of the man he made live low We tired of bein scapegoats for this capitalistic drug dealer
How hypocritical is Liberty?
That blind bi**h ain't never did s**t for me
My history, full of caskets and scars
My own poor nation at war, whole family behind bars
And they wonder why we scarred, thirteen lookin hard
Sister had a baby as an adolescent, where was God?
Somewhere in the middle of my mind
is a ni**a on the tightrope, screamin let him die
Can't lie I'm a thug, drownin in my own blood
Lookin for the reason that my momma's strung out on drugs
Down to die, for everything I represent
Meant every word, in my letter to the President
[Big Syke]
the poor are broke, think it's a joke that we livin low?
Y'all sniffin blow and postin what they hittin fo'?
Tell the secretary it's necessary we get paid
Look what you made, little kids gettin sprayed
Day after day, and night after night
Battles and wars to the daylight
We might change and rearrange if you do somethin
Til then we gonna keep it comin, Mr. President
Hehe
And I meant every word in my letter to the President
[2Pac]

Just wanna be clear, Joe Kennedy is the guy makin a lot of his profit.... off the selll of alcahol..isnt he? To me it seems the Kennedy's in general, suck, as a familly. They let mafia, big interest and government agencies kill their son and then they turn around and sell out. Schwartzenegger bragged about endorsing a strong Master/Slave society and then California turns around and elects him and a Kennedy marries him, What? It seems to me that, people are not only sheep, but a genetically engineered form of sheep bread specifically for stupidity and for their inability to see danger..even when sleeping in the wolves den
southernpatriot:
You're talking about the wrong Kennedy... the Joe Kennedy we endorsed is a libertarian and not related to JFK or "Ted" Kennedy
dtom76:
I remember a few years back, the US House staffers held an informal poll to rate certain Reps for various attributes, e.g., most volatile, most dishonest, etc...
Joe Kennedy was voted 'dumbest' Representative.
There's strike 1.
Strike 2, he's a Kennedy. America has had enough of this quasi-royal political dynasty. We've finally seen the last of Teddy and Patrick, now you want to put "dumb" Joe in national office? Strikes 2 and 3.
How about "Joe Plumber" for U.S. Senate? The US legislature is out of touch, disproportionately wealthy compared to the average person, with no worries about health insurance problems or pension plans going bankrupt.
Maybe y'all should take a week off from tea partying and blogging, read U.S. history.
What if we had Congressman like Davy Crockett and Henry Clay, and a President like Andy Jackson all in office?
southernpatriot:
You're talking about a completely different Joe Kennedy.

Please, please, please, Massachusetts fiscal conservatives, don't throw this away. On Dec 26 it made sense, but we're a few days from the election, and Kennedy is only up to 3%. If he had 20%, it might be worth a try. He has 3%. At present, polls show Coakley will win, and Obamacare will pass, if Kennedy keeps his 3%; Brown will win, and Obamacare will fail (and the next party-line monstrosity, too), if Kennedy loses it. Keep your principles, but don't throw away our freedom on principle.
Please, meet and reconsider your endorsement. The rest of the country is depending on what you do over the next few days. The future of the Tea Party movement also depends on whether it is seen as a way to split the fiscally conservative vote and get big spenders elected. Other states' Tea Parties won't benefit from having Massachusetts choose certain defeat; we'll be seen as marginal, everywhere. Please, reconsider.

The BTP National Committee will not repeal this endorsement, Joe Kennedy is the only candidate on the ballot in his election that supports a smaller government, free market competitive currencies and abolishing the Federal Reserve.
I believe I can speak for my fellow members of the BTP, that we do not believe in the "wasted vote theory" and instead ask everyone (that chooses to vote) to vote their conscience.
