For those new to the debate on Common Core, it is a federal takeover of decision-making capabilities of local school boards among other harmful consequences to our teachers, parents, and students.  In the summer of 2013, the Kitsap Patriots Tea Party adopted a resolution opposing Common Core.  Recently, both major political parties in Washington followed suit.  It is only party leadership in hearings like these that is preventing repeal.  Find out more on the history of government education at the March 2015 Kitsap Patriots Tea Party Meeting featuring education expert Sharon Hanek.

Many residents in the region are setting up carpools.  Join the event on Facebook to find more information.  If you cannot make it, contact your legislators.

Lincoln Day Dinner 2015

For the second consecutive year, the Kitsap Patriots Tea Party has its own table at the Kitsap County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner, the party’s biggest fundraiser of the year to help elect conservative candidates.  This is an important event as part of our efforts to build coalition partners and establish the relationships necessary to hold the county’s Republican Party accountable to conservative principles.  Last year, we were recognized at the podium by KCRP Chairman Chris Tibbs.

Due to scheduling conflicts with board members, the Kitsap Patriots Tea Party is in need of additional patriots to help fill seats at our table to make our presence known.  Visit kitsaprepublicans.com or call (360) 908-8483 to register (specify that you want to sit at the Kitsap Patriots Tea Party table).

Covenant of Grace by The Independents

A local patriotic band, “The Independents“, are performing an Easter cantata at the end of March.  “The Independents” provided music at last year’s KPTP annual picnic and receiving excellent reviews from attendees.  We recommend taking in a performance.

March 2015 Meeting

Mar 2015 Meeting

Our March 2015 meeting features Sharon Hanek, aka “Research Mom“.  Hanek, former candidate for Washington State Treasurer and skilled analyzer of education legislation, will present to us the history of government education.  She will take us from early America to the establishment of the Department of Education to recent history under “No Child Left Behind” and “Common Core”.

The education of our children crosses party lines.  Like both state political parties, the Kitsap Patriots Tea Party adopted a resolution opposing Common Core.  Analysis is currently underway by the 2015 Board of Directors to update our resolution.  Ask your school board members and state legislators to oppose Common Core.

Join us Monday, March 30, 2015 at 7:00pm at the Silverdale Beach Hotel to be thoroughly educated on the history of government education.  Take advantage of meet & greet time at 6:15pm in the hotel lounge and your opportunity to speak your mind during open-mic!
