North New Jersey Tea Party Group Endorses Marco Rubio for Vice President!!!

February 20, 2012

***** Based upon multiple factors including feedback from our group members, the North New Jersey Tea Party Group enthusiastically and officially endorses U.S. Senator Marco Rubio to be the Republican nominee for Vice President!!! *****

As such -- to the best of our knowledge -- the North New Jersey Tea Party Group becomes the first tea party organization in the nation to ever officially endorse any individual to be the Republican Party's vice-presidential nominee.

(We have conducted a thorough online search to see if any other tea party organizations throughout the country have officially endorsed anybody -- Rubio or otherwise -- to become the Republican Party's vice-presidential nominee. As of today, we have found no such endorsements. If we have inadvertently overlooked any, please let us know ASAP. Thank you.)

Incidentally, our endorsement of Senator Rubio to be the Republicans' vice-presidential nominee holds true no matter who ends up securing the Republican nomination for President.

As a reminder, the North New Jersey Tea Party Group officially suppored the candidacy of Rubio for the U.S. Senate back in 2010. Rubio's candidacy was one of ten that was officially supported by the group -- along with the candidacies of current U.S. Senators Pat Toomey, Ron Johnson, and Rand Paul; and current U.S. Congressman Tim Scott.

As an example of why the North New Jersey Tea Party Group supports Marco Rubio for vice-presidential nominee, here is his pro-liberty response to the Obama administration's desire to initiate the use of force against our fellow Americans who happen to be Catholics:

"This is not about contraception. It's not about social issues. This is a very simple constitutional principle. We have religious protections as part of our Constitution in the 1st Amendment, the right to express yourself religiously. You have in the case, the specific case of this bill, the Catholic Church that teaches its members that the use of contraception is wrong. You can disagree with that. But the bottom line is, should the federal government be able to go in and force them to pay for contraception, something they teach is wrong? The answer is no. That's protected under the Constitution.... We either believe in our Constitution or we don't."

We do not know of Senator Rubio's level of desire to be the Republican Party's vice-presidential nominee, if he happens to want such a nomination at all. Nevertheless, the North New Jersey Tea Party Group would like to see the Republican Party move decisely in favor of a consistent approach toward the advocacy and protection of all individuals' unalienable moral right to liberty. Should the Republican Party be wise enough to ask Senator Rubio to be its vice-presidential nominee, it would reflect well upon that party.

The North New Jersey Tea Party Group is the largest New Jersey-based tea party organization in terms of Facebook group page members, with over 4,500 of them. The North New Jersey Tea Party Group is also one of the top ten tea party organizations worldwide in terms of Facebook group page members.

  1. Great choice except– like Obama– he is not someone who meets the eligibility criteria per our Constitution.
