Sutter Buttes Tea Party Patriots
Ordinary Citizens Reclaiming America's Founding Principles
We are a chapter of
PECAN (Patriots Educating Concerned Americans Now), a
charitable non-profit 501(c)(3), which began in January 2010.
The mission of PECAN is to promote voter education in a 360 degree
environment. We build a working knowledge of our government
at all levels and promote the study of our founding documents
through local groups of volunteers who operate as citizen
lobbyists.
This is not a separate organization but rather an underlying
framework feeding the purpose begun by the tea party that allows
all of the groups who choose to organize under it the ability to
raise funds and secure meeting space. Schools and churches
often view us as too "political." By organizing as a
charitable non-profit, it helps break down those preconceived
ideas. It also gives the PECAN branches the ability to set up
the necessary bank accounts and insurances for their organization
so they can prepare for the "long haul."
We are using a "franchise" model similar to groups we're all
familiar with like Girl Scouts and Kiwanis. Those
organizations have spread efficiently across the country and
supported our communities for many years. It is time that
conservative Americans had a place in this fabric as
well. The model is being used in "franchise" fashion to
expand the footprint of this movement rapidly and avoid duplication
of effort. We are built for speed and efficiency ... not more
bureaucracy!
Our movement must be poised to outlast the troubled times in which
we now find ourselves, or the silent majority will find itself on
the outside looking in once again. Without an active body of
citizens, it is impossible to expect our representative form of
government to remain on track. We are forming a sort of
"republic insurance" that should continue for a very long
time.
