Deer Valley Tea Party
The Deer Valley Tea Party is a very active group of citizens who participate in citizenship issues, generally from a conservative point of view.
In recent months speakers included Horne, Montgomery, Pearce, Arpaio, Schweikert, Quail, Zinn, Phoenix mayoral and council candidates, voting fraud experts (excluding the above), and others.
Every month there is a semi-formal constitution lecture by Shane Krauser, an expert on the constitution and a great speaker. The ambience is such to encourage relative candor from these folks.
Deer Valley Tea Party meets at 6:30 p.m. every Friday at Deer Valley Airport Restaurant Meeting Room (with food service) – Deer Valley Road and 7th Avenue.
There are no dues.
