It took a little longer than expected, but we’re live.
The first video is just an About Us program, posted only on YouTube, at this time. The program and future programs will be available as video podcasts, beginning in a few days.
In fact, these programs are intended for podcasts, which means that they are formatted for and have a resolution aimed at mobile devices. The programs should look fine on an iPhone or iPad. But if you try to play them full screen on your computer, they may be a little grainy. If we get enough feedback requesting a higher resolution version of the programs, then we’ll make the effort to produce the programs in two formats.
Here is the first program: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmQfyNTDxyE
Future programs will cover specific issues related to taxes, spending, the debt, the deficit and other fiscal issues.
I also want to give a hearty thank you to Tamar Yonah, of Israel National Radio, for doing the voice-over that you hear at the beginning and end of each program of TEA Party Insights.
We encourage you to listen in every week, for your regular dose of political sanity, from the TEA Party perspective.

.[BROOKLYN, NY] On April 7th, 2013, the Brooklyn Tea Party (TBTP) held their first Constitutional Convention. President Frank Russo states that, ‘Unfortunately, since the 2012 Presidential Election results, there’s been a lot of discontent out there…so we’ve decided that the TBTP has to examine itself first. So we’ve concluded that we should begin to re-build this organization from the bottom up! And it all starts with the Constitution!’ This was further supported by Former Presidents: John Press & Joseph Hayon. And hardworking Officials, Marty Levine & Cartrell Gore also concurred with the establishment of this Convention, ‘The Brooklyn Tea Party needs to re-focus itself…and ask the question, why do we meet every month?’ So Russo went on to say, ‘We will proceed with this Constitution process…in a very democratic manner—a Final Vote and each Brooklyn Tea Party Member will sign the Final Draft!…Then, we can begin to put together an agenda…’The Brooklyn Tea Party was founded and organized by John Press, who served as the president and leader. Additionally, the second President of the Brooklyn Tea Party was Joseph Hayon. Incidentally, John led the Brooklyn Tea Party from its inception until February 2011. The enthusiasm of the members, a full-spectrum of local residents, is what makes the Brooklyn Tea Party what it is. John helped to provide all of us members with the opportunity to participate fully and express ourselves. We share common goals of returning the Country to its roots and reigning in uncontrolled growth, power and size of Government.
Dear Tea Party Members,
During today’s meeting, I resigned as your leader of the Brooklyn Tea Party. During my term as president, we helped get two candidates (Congressman Bob Turner and Senator David Storobin) elected into office — only to have no-principled Dean Skelos terminate, passively and aggressively, the districts they represented.
When I was approached by our first president, John Press, I was shocked that I was even offered the honor to lead this principled group. I was the only candidate asking for Tea Party support to refuse to take the Brooklyn Tea Party pledge of 2010, and just a few months later I was president by a unanimous vote of the same group.
From day one, the group understood that I was not 100% Tea Party. Realizing in 2011 that there was no one else qualified that wanted to lead the Brooklyn Tea Party, I agreed to lead on a temporary basis — until someone else came along.
While I completely value the Tea Party’s general position against wasted spending, to lower our taxes, and to root out government corruption, sometimes some of the Tea Party values contradict with the family values I hold dear — religious freedom, traditional marriage, etc. When a candidate such as Eric Salgado comes along, who is completely against the Tea Party on the issue of immigration because of his family values, I will support him over Joe Lhota (Lhota is no where close as a Tea Party candidate. He raised the bridge tolls as MTA chairman).
I served as Brooklyn Tea Party president because the group is filled with genuine and honest individuals, who were duped by the Republicans and Dermocrats in Albany and Washington. The Brooklyn Tea Party needs to exist because it is one of the few groups in Brooklyn to maintain integrity.
I explained to those who attended today’s meeting that my role as president was to ensure its survival. I acted as a trustee. Your new president, Frank Russo, is completely Tea Party on the issues, has great work ethics, and has the integrity I was looking for in our next leader. He was voted in unanimously to be our next leader.
Thank you all for the support you gave me. Sincerely, Joseph Hayon
