The Upstate New York Tea (UNYTEA) Party has as its mission, to advocate for reduced government spending, lower taxes, and less government.

We are a grassroots organization of North Country people who believe that partisan politics MUST give way to common sense and dollars and cents.

We cannot spend our way out of debt. Nor should we insist on taxing those who work in the name of those who won't. And we can no longer afford to subsidize, much less nationalize, large corporations which the free market has determined should not survive.

UNYTEA will work tirelessly to ensure that we send to Washington only those individuals, regardless of their party affiliation, who believe that the government which governs least, governs best and that the American system of free enterprise is the only proven way to ensure our survival and success for generations to come
