Gwinnett Daily Post | POLITICAL NOTEBOOK: Gwinnett Tea Party renamed

Tea party group gets new name

Gwinnett’s largest tea party group will change its name and its meeting date.

What began as the Founding Fathers Tea Party Patriots will become the Gwinnett Tea Party, an announcement said.

The newly renamed group will meet at 7:30 p.m. June 25 at The Uptown Grille at Suwanee Town Center.

“All that I have seen recently drives home the point that the very values and principles present at the founding of our country are in jeopardy,” an announcement from David Hancock said, referencing revelations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted tea party groups and other controversies. “This is not the time to back down; it is the time to redouble our efforts.”
