What's with the new logo? Defining the Middle Ground

So often in politics we speak about finding the middle ground. In fact it seems that a common view is that we should find the middle ground somewhere between the two polar extremes, that depending how far the other extreme is we should compromise our position in order to reach the "middle ground."

Well it just so happens that as you cross the water to the beginning of Virginia's peninsula you will see a light that marks a small rise in the center of Hampton Roads.  Its name is the Middle Ground Light.  It is an all red caisson lighthouse that, when first established around 1890, gave off a fixed steady white light to guide ships in Hampton Roads waters. This is the kind of "middle ground" we must use to guide our country.

The only meaningful middle ground must be a permanently fixed point that we can agree upon as was established in the US Constitution. Once we recognize this fixed point, we can then use it to guide us toward the proper role of government to protect individual liberty and individual rights.

What's with the new look to the site?

We are working to organize PeninsulaTeaParty.org website and online services to better serve members of Peninsula Tea Party and all the citizens of Virginia's peninsula.  The basic organization of the information posting will be divided into local state and federal issues.
