The Worcester Tea Party is a response to the usurpation and subversion of personal freedoms and free market capitalism by the federal government. Tea Party participants support:

• The return to our founding Constitutional principles of personal responsibility, integrity, honesty, liberty and economic freedom

• The re-assertion of our sovereignty as free men and women

• The re-establishment of local control through the strengthening of the rights of individual states

• The holding accountable of our government through citizen activism and to accomplish these objectives through educating, recruiting, organizing and mobilizing the citizens of the Commonwealth.
