This is regarding the pledge that the local Tea Party is asking political candidates and elected officials to sign. This is no more than a decoy for McCarthyism.

Some north state candidates are refusing to sign a Redding tea party group's pledge that says they must resign or agree to publicly disclose their transgressions if the tea party deems them to have violated the state or U.S. constitutions.

I've always found Sam Aanestad to be a man of intelligence and principle, but the stuff he unleashed at tonight's congressional debate, sponsored by the Redding Tea Party, might make me have to reconsider. During a discussion of energy policy,...

The five candidates vying for the District 4 Board of Supervisors seat were quick to call each other out Monday night at a sometimes heated debate held by the Redding Tea Party Patriots.

The five candidates vying for the District 4 Board of Supervisors seat were quick to call each other out Monday night at a sometimes heated debate held by the Redding Tea Party Patriots.

With candidate rosters final for the open 1st Assembly District race as of last week, the Redding Tea Party got straight to holding the first debate with all five candidates at the same table tonight. The Tea Party runs its...

It is obvious Don Farrell ("50-Word Dash," Saturday) has never been to a Tea Party or knows any of us personally.

YouTube video of Monday night's meeting runs about half an hour. Worth watching. Very funny in parts....

The "Tea Party" is a nonexistent party that hasn't the slightest idea what it takes to effectively run government.

Voices of Faith — What religious and ethical values do you think the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street articulate?

A conservative property-rights attorney Monday told a group of about 50 tea party activists in Redding the only way to fight a global effort to impose burdensome environmental regulations that lock up public land and hinder private property rights is to appeal to local government leaders to demand "coordination."

Fred Kelly Grant, a property rights attorney and tea party role model who champions a process he calls "coordination" to stymie federal land-use and protected-species decisions, will hold two community discussions Monday in Redding.

It's interesting how the Republican Tea Party purports to be for "limited government, fiscal responsibility and adherence to the Constitution," yet refuses to get behind and support the one candidate who stubbornly advocates and consistently adheres to those principles — and has done so his entire life.

A group of officials planning out a vision for the state agencies that regulate California's fish and wildlife resources may get an earful tonight from tea party members, hunters and agricultural groups.

But still one of the greatest rockers ever. Here's "Taxman," George Harrison's breakthrough song (pole position on "Revolver") on the 10th anniversary of his death, at 58, from cancer:...

What do the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street groups have in common? Each group is unhappy with our current government. One group wants less government regulation and less taxes. The other group wants more government regulation of financial institutions and more taxes on large corporations and the wealthy.

SHASTA LAKE —A Southern California tea party activist created more controversy this week in the attempt to recall Councilwoman Dolores Lucero when he posted a doctored photo of the city's former mayor with Adolf Hitler on a Facebook page run by Lucero supporters.

YREKA — At a recent rally of at least 700 farmers, tea party members and conservative activists, Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey spoke in almost revolutionary terms, framing the actions of federal and state regulators as threats the county's livelihood.

The Tea Party/Republicans want less government spending and intervention, except for the millions we've requested and received here in Shasta County

Thanks, Roy Hutchings ("50-Word Dash," Wednesday), for granting me my freedom.

Shocked by President Obama's unsustainable deficit spending, the Tea Party movement arose across the land. They called for reduced spending, lower taxes and a less intrusive, small government, viewed as a threat to liberty.

Recently, citizen groups gathered on Wall Street, in Washington, D.C., and in other cities including Redding to practice their First Amendment rights of free speech and freedom of assembly. I wanted to compare and contrast what they stand for vs. the Tea Party.

Occupy Wall Street? They’re No Tea Partiers FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Washington, D.C.– Today, Jenny Beth Martin and Mark Meckler, co-founders of the Tea Party Patriots, the nation’s largest tea party organization, contrasted the tea party movement with the “Occupy Wall Street” protests in New York and other citie

You can't help but wonder if those who trash the Tea Party realize that these patriots are our last hope to keep our country free.

I don't know what the tea party's problem with Obama is. They are mostly middle class and tea stands for taxed enough already. Obama knows that, and that's why he's going after the rich to make them pay their fair share. The more the rich pay, the less the middle class pays.

It's hard to read the newspaper with one hand.While taking in Ruth Marcus' Sept. 1 attack on Gov. Rick Perry, "Perry's bridge to 19th century," I found myself repeatedly raising my hand because I agreed with everything Perry had written in his "Tea Party-steeped manifesto." In regards to the 16th

A Town-Hall style Meeting conducted Wednesday Night by U.S. Representative Wally Herger was not nearly the wild affair seen the last time Herger hosted such an Event. However, even Republicans were giving Herger little wiggle room as they posed some tough Questions. Everything from Herger’s Debt Ceiling Vote to the

A Redding tea party group will be featured Wednesday on conservative commentator Glenn Beck's Web-based program.

Our nation has just been downgraded from our long-standing AAA+ credit rating to AA+ rating by Standard and Poor's, one of the big three ratings agencies. This was not expected by the GOP-stymied caucus debating our raising of the debt ceiling. I think that the root cause of this decision by Standard and Poor's is t

Apparently the debt deal is done and America will pay its bills. At least for now. Our 401(k)'s are battered, our creditors shaken and the countries that look to us for leadership are somewhat relieved. At least for now. Of course, this whole crisis could have been averted if only President Barack Obama had given in to

Come election time next year, the electorate will remember those Tea Party types who are willing to destroy our country, its economy, and the Republican Party for political advantage.

This letter is in response to Marjy Cantrell's July 27 letter "Tea Party didn't create the debt." I don't want to argue about the Tea Party, or who created the national debt.

Thomas Spear (letter, Friday) states a Republican "No" vote closed the vets home. Not true! Actually the entire city, county, state and federal powers that be have consistently, through the years, spent more money than can ever be given to them through taxes, fees, levies, etc.

This piece by Beth Rowen at InfoPlease should be read by all. Since its inception in February 2009, the Tea Party movement—with the help of viral videos and social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter—almost instantly found a large and loyal following that has gained traction and supporters. In fact, Gallup po

The Tea Party is not a legitimate party. It will never overshadow any other party. For the most part, Democrats and Republicans alike share the notion of not being taxed to death.

DO NOT INCREASE THE DEBT CEILING CUT CAP BALANCE The supporters and local coordinators of Tea Party Patriots met for over 3 hours on Sunday evening evaluating the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act and whether or not we should change our position on no debt increase.  After examining all possible angles we decided to remain firm

The Tea Party mantra "We want our country back" is contradicted by their slash-and-burn politics.

Good news for Opponents of the Redding Library Outdoor Public Forum Policy. A tentative ruling issued Wednesday sides with the arguments presented by the A-C-L-U and the Tea Party.

After naming themselves after an 18th-century incident, the Tea Party politicians continue to call for self-reliance by the people and use Founding Father-type 18th-century quotes.
