Who We Are
With over 7,200 regular & associate members and an average of over 350 attendees per monthly meeting, the 9-12 Project of The Lehigh Valley (DBA The Lehigh Valley Tea Party) is the largest local grassroots conservative group in Pennsylvania and perhaps, the largest in the nation. We are a non-profit, non-partisan, pro-active organization, dedicated to the education of our members and citizens about constitutionally limited government and many of the important issues of the day including taxes/spending/debt, second amendment, illegal immigration, energy policy and more. Our goal, through community education and public activism, is to restore America through the preservation of unalienable Individual Rights as established by the Declaration of Independence, thereby returning government to the limits placed on it by the Constitutions of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
As part of the 9-12 Project, The Lehigh Valley Tea Party is rather unique in that we base our activities on the 9 Principles and 12 Values. Amongst these are a belief in God, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit (not guarantee) of happiness, the understanding that the government works for us, honesty, thrift, voluntary charity, hard work, and personal responsibility. Though belief in all of these principles is not required for membership, conviction in at least seven of them provides enough commonality for us to rally behind the cause.
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the LVTP is to educate our members and the Lehigh Valley community about our unalienable individual rights and to support the agenda articulated by President Trump in his 2016 campaign.
