Carrollton Tea Party supports local officers – Star Local Media

Carrollton Tea Party Board members came together last Tuesday to recognize and support Carroltons police department. The members distributed different types of snacks, watermelon, Gatorade, water and goodie baskets to help the officers get through their shifts.

Its just our way to thank them, said Camille Johnson, President of the Carrollton Tea Party. What they do for us, protecting us and risking their lives. We pray for them daily. We just wanted to show our appreciation for them.

Local grocery stores like Sprouts donated the watermelon. Johnson said the Tea Party would have not been able to distribute an adequate amount of goods without their help.

Last Monday the members also visited city hall and distributed goods to staff. Last month the members gifted the fire department with watermelon and treats.

The Carrollton Tea Party is active in the communitys political affairs. They encourage citizens to vote and be active in the political system as well as educate the community of the Partys core values. Johnson said the Tea Party recently has desired to do more outreach in addition to its other

This year we wanna do some community outreach, Johnson said.

Last year the Tea Party was involved with Back the Blue. The members, pastors, officers and other community members came together to pray for officers who lost their lives in shootings across the country.

Johnson said the Tea Party doesnt want to support officers or fireman just on special occasions like the holidays. She said they want to do it when no one is thinking about them.

The members also plan to do something special for the K9s who work with the police officers. Johnson said they didnt give them anything this time because they want to make sure they give them treats compatible with their diet.

The Tea Party wants to continue its efforts and support. They will be making plans to do at least two to three outreaches a year. They ask for the communitys and members support.

People need to know whats going on and they need to pray for them, said Johnson. People need to back them up.
