Get Involved…
We currently recommend finding a candidate (or two) that you want to support this November and help with his/her campaign. Most campaigns need help with passing out flyers, making phone calls, holding signs, and/or financial donations. Contact the candidate’s campaign directly and ask how you can make a difference!
We also encourage members to get involved in this election season by becoming a poll worker on November 2nd. You not only get to assist people but help prevent voter fraud! This is a paid position and requires a few hours of training. You may find out more about this process by going to the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections website.
Please help spread the word about GTP by sending out this flyer via email or by printing it out and giving it to everyone you know! Join GTP & Mission Statement

This is a grassroots non-partisan group for people who are tired of the corruption and foolishness going on in Washington, D.C. People of differing political, religious, and ethnic backgrounds are always welcome. The more people the louder our voice!

Gainesville Tea Party is not associated with and does not endorse the Tea Party Political Party in the state of Florida.
