After the 2026 midterm losses, Jenny Beth Martin turns from the results to the foundation. First, a request. Tea Party Patriots Action and Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund want to know which of the tools and resources they provided this election season were helpful, how they helped, and what else would have made a difference. Over the next few weeks the organization is improving its systems and websites so the training and the ways to engage are better going into 2027 and 2028, and your answer shapes that.
Second, the thing she says matters most. Step back and remember the principles that guide us: the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, and the rights in them that distinguish America from every other country and protect the freedom and liberty that come from our Creator. That is what conservatives are trying to preserve, and the word conserve means exactly that: protecting each individual's liberty and keeping the government from growing so big and so expansive that it infringes on it.
If you have not done the Tea Party Patriots Action constitution training, or the Constitution and founding principles podcast series Jenny Beth Martin recorded over the summer with Bill Norton, the coming weeks are the time to go back and watch. And every plan the movement makes from here has to pass one test: does it protect liberty, stand for personal freedom and economic freedom, and move America toward a debt-free future.
Jenny Beth Martin is co-founder of the Tea Party movement and Chairman of Tea Party Patriots Action.
