Over the last few weeks and months, myself and other Tea Party members have been active in the community and have been the topic of many conversations around the area. One of the biggest questions I always get is what is the Gaston Tea Party? So if I may take a moment and explain.

The Tea Party of Greater Gaston County is a local, non-profit Political Action Committee that believes in fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government and free markets. Our Tea Party is a non-partisan grassroots organization of residentss united by core values derived from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.

We recognize and support the strength of grassroots 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 are granted unalienable rights by our creator. Chiefly among these are the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Tea Party of Greater Gaston County stands with our founders, as heirs to the republic, to claim our rights and duties to preserve their legacy and our own. We hold that there exists an inherent benefit to our country whereby natural law and the rights of the individual secures private property and prosperity.

The Gaston TEA Party began in April 2009 by two homeschooling moms and has grown since then to more than 300 active members and 1,200 associate members. The purpose of the Gaston TEA Party is to educate to motivate and to activate those within our community.

Educate

Supply educational information through meetings, forums and electronic means

Keep the public informed and up-to-date on relevant issues and current issues

To inform members of happenings in the political arena, including hidden agendas, pending legislation, voting outcomes and legislative updates

Bring about real change

Motivate

Persuade members to be silent no more and to work together so our voices can be heard loud and clear

Supply facts and figures in order to prompt us to push on to bring about change

Host public meetings and lead in peaceful protests

Activate

Actively take part in the political arena

Attend government meetings, hearings, and sessions

Hold elected officials accountable

Our goals are simple. We look to keep members and residents alert and engaged, build relationships with like-minded people, the community, politicians, and the media to bring about the change that will bring our country back to the way it was originally designed to be governed, and to elect candidates of virtue and integrity that have a heart for the people and a love for our country and community.

As Samuel Adams said, It does not take a majority to prevail but rather an irate, tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

Daniel Ware of Gastonia is vice chairman of the Gaston Tea Party.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Dozens of United Bikers of Maine members gathered at the Blaine House Thursday morning for the annual Motorcycle Safety Awareness month tea party.

The Governor has hosted the event at the Blaine house for the past several years. 2016 saw nearly a fifty-percent decrease in the number of motorcycle accident related deaths compared to 2015. The number dropped from 32 to 18.

The group said one of the leading causes of accidents on bikes is alcohol use -- they want to remind everyone to never drink and drive and that motor cycles are not as forgiving. They also said you can never be too careful while out on the road and the more drivers look out for bikes on the road, the better.

"Be aware that we are out there" Member Eric Fuller said. "We do have some different criteria for motorcycles versus a car so keep in mind that we are out there and a little more vulnerable".

There has already been 1 motorcycle related death this year Fuller said he hopes its the only one.

Alpha Male Tea Party have made their new track The Museum Of Walking available to stream exclusively with Prog.

The song is taken from the Liverpool trios upcoming album Health, which will launch on June 23 via Big Scary Monsters Recordings.

Bassist Ben Griffiths tells Prog: I'm utterly hopeless with words, which is one of the many, many reasons we're an instrumental band.

However, a good friend of mine told me the other day that this sounds like Alpha Male Tea Party does Graceland, which was never the intention, but is absolutely the outcome.

In addition, Alpha Male Tea Party will head out on the road across the UK in June in support of the follow-up to 2014s Droids. Theyll also play a set at Bristols ArcTanGent festival on August 18.

Find the tour dates, album artwork and tracklist below.

Health is now available for pre-order.

Six-month-old Cassidy Herzog might not remember her first dress-up tea party. But she was one of the star attractions, all dressed up with a big pink bow in her hair.

And the hats. Fancy hats are still big at tea parties.

All that cuteness and pomp was on display April 29 for the 10th annual Womens Tea Party at St. Davids Episcopal Church on Main Street in Cranbury.

The event drew about 50 participants and featured an afternoon social with assorted teas, pastries and finger sandwiches. The program Sound of Music celebrated two music groups that performed during the event.

This one is special because it brings many women together for fun, fellowship and a purpose, said church rector, the Rev. Karin R. Mitchell.

The purpose this year was to support a girls chamber orchestra called Stretto, from Trinity Lutheran Church in Trenton, which brought its sweet sounds to Cranbury for the event.

According to the Rev. Mitchell, the church tea party began in 2006, spurred by a group of Caribbean women within the church community and led by Angela Levy.

The event takes a few months of advance planning. There is a group of women who reserve a table every year, headed by Fran Rak of Cranbury. The food for the event was prepared by Mike and Debbie Raab of Tea For All in Trenton.

The women who attend love to dress up and wear hats, said the Rev. Mitchell. It reminds me that these opportunities are few and far between.

Jimmy Kimmel has been roundly praised for his emotional speech on his show last night, in which he defended the Affordable Care Act after describing how his newborn son required open heart surgery last week to stay alive.

But Joe Walsh, former Illinois Congressman and current right-wing talk show host, wasnt moved, tweeting this response:

Walshs response drew a lot of ire from Obamacare supporters, but none more so than Patton Oswalt, who brought up a scandal from Walshs past that many of the radio hosts critics are quick to use against him.

During Walshs term in the House of Representatives from 2011-2013, the Tea Party politician was sued for $117,000 in unpaid child support by his ex-wife. The two settled the lawsuit out of court, agreeing afterwards in a statement that Joe is not and was not a deadbeat dad and does not owe child support.

Still, the lawsuit was used in attack ads against Walsh during his 2012 re-election campaign, which he lost to Democrat Tammy Duckworth. Then, about a month after Walshs term ended, the child support issue surfaced again amidst reports that he sought a reduction in his required child support payments due to his employment being terminated through no voluntary act of his own.

Regardless of what his settlement statement said, the deadbeat dad label has been chasing Walsh for years, and his put down of Kimmels speech prompted another round of such clapbacks.

Kimmel returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night after abruptly taking a week off from the show. He explained his absence in a tearful speech recounting how he discovered shortly after the birth of his second child that the newborn required immediate open heart surgery and would require several more surgeries over the next several years of his life.

The late-night host went on to point out that while he and his wife could easily afford the cost of these surgeries, less fortunate families facing the same situation may not have been able to afford the medical procedures necessary to keep their child alive.

We were brought up to believe that we live in the greatest country in the world, Kimmel said. But until a few years ago, millions and millions of us had no access to health insurance at all. You know, before 2014, if you were born with congenital heart disease, like my son was, theres a good chance youd never be able to get health insurance, because you had a pre-existing condition. And if your parents didnt have insurance, he added, You may not even live long enough to get denied because of your pre-existing condition.

If your baby is going to die and it doesnt have to, it shouldnt matter how much money you makeNo parent should ever have to decide if they can afford to save their childs life. It just shouldnt happen. Not here.

Late-night TV is in the midst of a renaissance era, afire with jokes about President Donald Trump during his first 100 days in office. Take Seth Meyers, who discussed Trump's first "100 Dayz and Confused," taking a closer look at his unfulfilled promises. He called Paul Ryan by the wrong name and assailed POTUS' plethora of tweets.

Trevor Noah summarized the first week of Trump's presidency, highlighting his infatuation with Fox News and the creation of his own untrue reality.

Following Trump's first press conference, Colbert waded through a mess his responses. Trump got "Devos-ified" and the late-night host ribbed POTUS' gripes over "very fake news" reporters.

Fallon pulled out his famous Trump impression for a segment on his "YUUUGE" wheel of decisions that explain the president's erratic actions.

Using Kellyanne Conway's favorite phrase, Kimmel delivered his version of alternative facts and Trump's need to see a "C-I-A-chiatrist" (you know, a psychiatrist who deals in anxiety brought on by fears of Central Intelligence Agencies).

Alec Baldwin, Kate McKinnon and Beck Bennett won laughs in this "Saturday Night Live" skit that featured POTUS, Steve Bannon and Angela Merkel.

One of John Oliver's most successful segments highlighted the serious problem of "a president capable of standing in the rain and saying it was a sunny day."

In this Conan O'Brien segment, Trump asks Obama for advice on the press, tweeting toilets and his Valentine's Day plan with Putin.

Trevor Noah covered the annual White House Easter Egg Roll -- highlighting Trump forgetting to place his hand on his heart and Steve Bannon's transformation into the Easter Bunny.

Colbert discussed Trump's frequent trips to Mar-a-Lago -- or as he likes to call it, his "timeshare in crazy-town" -- and his accompanying Twitter freak-outs.

After the "in-ugh-uration" and the international shows of solidarity at the Women's March, Meyers covered reactions to the "most popular president since Obama."

In this "SNL" segment, Baldwin as POTUS makes an appearance on the People's Court and battles with the judges of the ninth circuit.

Kimmel compiled footage from several of Trump's meetings of him "moving stuff around"-- and it's funnier than it sounds.

Samantha Bee's coverage of Trump's "hard power budget" criticizes the massive cuts to education and ignorance about climate change, calling Trump's America "figurative hell... might as well make it literal hell too."

There has been no shortage of material when it comes to POTUS
