Happy 4th of July!
2024 marks our 15th annual celebration of this momentous day.  Please help us celebrate by viewing our new video below 'Make Popular Sovereignthy Great Again!'.  Our previous videos explain why we have free speech and the right to bear arms, and why a 'living, breathing Constitution' is a very bad idea.  Also, don't miss our Instant Graduate Degree in Political Science below. 
It expresses the American Idea in one page.


Make Popular Sovereignty Great Again!

  • If we don’t deserve self-rule, we won’t have it for very long.  We must be educated, virtuous, and civic-minded to keep our Republic.  Happy Independence Day 2024 from Potomac Tea Party!

What My Free Speech Means to Me
  • Ordinary parents branded as domestic terrorists by the government for speaking their minds at school board meetings.  Government agencies engaging in wide-ranging censorship schemes.  Universities canceling conservative speakers.  Countless Americans curtailed, shadow-banned, or outright censored on social media.  The First Amendment right of free speech is under assault like never before.  In this video, nationally known figures Xi Van Fleet (refugee from communism), Jim Simpson (book author), Tom Trento (The United West), and Angel Mom Sabine Durden-Coulter speak powerfully about being censored, but persevering and fighting back against an intolerant Left terrified of the truth and working to keep We the People in the dark. 

Staying True to the Revolution
  • We hear from five strong American voices around the country as to what ‘Staying True to the Revolution’ means to them - mooring ourselves in public and private virtue, preserving the proper balance of our Constitutional order, emphasizing what brings us together in national unity and purpose, and more.  Happy 4th of July, everybody!

What Independence Day Means to Me
  • We asked some of the strongest American voices we’ve heard in the last year to tell us what Independence Day (July 4, 2021) means to them.  Their backgrounds will surprise you.  Listen as they remind us of the magnificence of the Founders’ ideals and that liberty, once lost, is lost forever.  The video concludes with Potomac Tea Party’s ‘Instant Graduate Degree in Political Science’, which is the American Idea on one page.  A radio talk show host called the IGD a “solution to America’s political illiteracy.”


Instant Graduate Degree in Political Science

Too many Americans have deliberately been cut off from their heritage and no longer understand the set of ideas the country started with, or why the Founders' ideals remain important today. Understand these ideas and you will know more about your country than many politicians or college graduates. These ideas are simple to grasp, yet more powerful than the mightiest army. America is a special place. It’s the only country in all of human history founded on an idea – individual liberty. The Declaration of Independence states that you have the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These rights are not something the government gives you. As an American, you are born with these rights. Some say these rights come from nature, and call them ‘natural rights’. Others say they come from God, and call them ‘God-given rights’. The point is, YOUR RIGHTS DON’T COME FROM GOVERNMENT, or even the Constitution. What the government cannot give, it cannot take away. This is the true meaning of the American Revolution, and it was truly astounding. For the first time ever, a government was instituted to protect the rights of the people, not the privileged few or those who would set themselves up as your rulers or benefactors. THE PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT IS TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS. In fact, the Founders instituted a system of limited government so that your rights could never be taken away from you. Not only do your rights NOT come from government, the truth is that government’s rights come from US. In America, we live under the revolutionary idea that WE THE PEOPLE ARE SOVEREIGN. The federal government has only the enumerated powers expressly set forth in the Constitution. It has only the powers We the People give it. Under the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution, all remaining rights and powers belong to We The People and to the states, not to the bureaucrats or politicians in Washington. The Founders were very far-sighted in instituting limited government. They knew that every now and then a charismatic demagogue would come along singing a siren song about how much the government could do for you if only you would surrender your liberty. The Founders knew that somebody would always want to be King George and that the inevitable tendency of government is to grow its power and expand its reach over the people. The system of checks and balances the Founders created will, if faithfully observed, forever prevent a tyrant or tyrannical government from emerging and ruling the land by personal whim or decree. The Founders' ideas are in accord with human nature and have stood the test of time. They are superior to all political theories that went before (might makes right, let them eat cake, the divine right of kings), and to every political ideology that has come along since (various forms of collectivism which destroy individual liberty and turn the clock back to when We the People were subjects, not sovereigns). Individual liberty is the only political idea that is humane, compassionate, and sustainable in the long run. So, as you celebrate Independence Day, remember the true meaning of this occasion and why we in America truly have cause for celebration. We the People are free – we live in a free country where the people are sovereign - and, sadly, that has not been the case for most human beings who have ever walked the earth. Congratulations, you have just graduated. Now go in liberty and cherish every minute of it. Use your freedom wisely; it's a great gift. And don't let anyone denigrate the magnificence of the Founders' ideals, confuse you with sophistry, or take away your liberty without a fight. It's your heritage and your foundation as an American living in this special place we are so incredibly fortunate to call home.
