This information was originally posted on the original blog by Mark McFarlin, a former county commissioner who is identified as the Tea Party's Information Coordinator. Because that blog is rarely updated, and comments are not allowed, we've chosen to add that information here as well.
The Hickman Tea Party is:
We are are a non-partisan group of citizens working together to promote the following: accountability of our elected and appointed officeals; to hold government accountable for the money and power we the people have garnted government to use on our behalf and the use of the power by government is only legitimate to the extent that it is used with the consent of the people.

Our Purpose
We promote efforts to return Constitutional values to Government, especially including a recognition and respect for state sovereignty. We call for fiscal conservatism in both government expenditures and taxation levied against the fruits of citizens' labor. We will make every effort to promote honest, open government while limiting governmental powers not constitutionally vested. We promote a culture of personal responsibility and individual liberty. We promote educating the public on important current political events affecting the general populace on the local, state and national levels. We aim to encourage, seek and assist the efforts of honest and conservative minded individuals (who also believe in consitutional individual rights) to be elected to office of all levels of government.

Our Beliefs
We believe the United States Constitution is the greatest governmental document ever written. Within this document, lies the the United States government's structural framework, establishing govermnetal powers and ensuring individuals rights under it s establishment. Furthermore, government should be always limited, in every regard, while being a necessary institution. Limited powers are promoted by open and honest government coupled with the respect of the Bill of Rights.
The forceful taking of resources from one to pass to another is not charity regardless of the reasoning or form. Moreover, we are concerned with the removal or the limiting of an individual's constitutional rights and the burdens placed upon individuals by our government(s) which it is to serve. Liberty and freedom is best preserved when accountability is enacted by the people in which public servants serve.

It will be that individual's choice of whether to contact you or not. It is best to get to know fellow members, what they are working on and exchange information during the meetings.
The Hickman Tea Party is active in several different subject matters and the members choose which issues they want to battle. All members may not support all issues of concern; therefore, 'we agree to disagree on some issues'. This attitude allows us to continue to work, grow and gain strength as a group.
We do not care what politicial party anyone supports except that the belief of honest and open government is your belief with a conservative mindset.
Mark McFarlin is our information coordinator and needs to be kept abreast of activities and can put you in contact with who is battling what issue.
