Senate Tea Party Caucus - Jan. 27, 2011
January 27, 2011
First, I want to thank Senator Paul and Senator Lee and also Senator DeMint for this caucus together. I think it's a testament to the power of the Tea Party movement, and we work really- we worked hard tirelessly, the past two years to bring conservative friends here to support Jim DeMint and turning this country back around. So thank you all are working with us and thank you, senators, for doing this. You know, I'm very humbled to be here and honored to be here because I am just […]

Address at the Banquet of International Farm Women - 4 June 1936
June 4, 1936
EXCERPT FROM ADDRESS DELIVERED BY CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT AT BANQUET OF INTERNATIONAL FARM WOMEN JUNE 4, 1936. WASHINGTON, D.C. It is not long, as time flies, since all schools, open to girls, taught the rudiments of education only. The first women to graduate with degrees in the entire world were in the class of 1841 at Oberlin, Ohio, and the women numbered three. The reason the world gave for the denial of education to women at that time was the opinion that women’s brains could not grasp higher learning, and […]

Senator Mike Lee Endorsement - Dec. 4, 2016
December 4, 2013
But as we all have seen recently with the defund Obamacare effort and the government shutdown, there's not enough conservatives in Washington DC. We need more conservatives in Washington DC. We need more conservatives, just like Senator Mike Lee, who are there to protect the Constitution and fight for the American people. And that is what is so refreshing about Senator Mike Lee, and others that were elected in the past two election cycles, is that they're actually they've gone to Washington and they're actually doing what they promised to […]

September 5, 2011
Hello New Hampshire! Thank you so much for coming out and meeting the Tea Party Express today, on our fifth national best tour where we are reclaiming America and our buses are made in America.

Address Before The Second Biennial Convention of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union - Oct. 1893
October 16, 1893
Beloved Comrades of the White Ribbon Army: WHEN we began the delicate, difficult, and dangerous operation of dissecting out the alcohol nerve from the body politic, we did not realize the intricacy of the undertaking nor the distances that must be traversed by the scalpel of investigation and research. In about seventy days from now, twenty years will have elapsed since the call of battle sounded its bugle note among the homes and hearts of Hillsboro, Ohio. We have all been refreshing our knowledge of those days by reading the […]

Women's National Council Triennial Meeting Address - February 22, 1891
February 22, 1891
Beloved Friends and Comrades in a Sacred Cause: "A difference of opinion on one question must not prevent us from working unitedly in those on which we can agree." These words from the opening address before the International Council convened in this auditorium three years ago were the key-note of a most tuneful chorus. The name of her who uttered words so harmonious is Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and it shall live forever in the annals of woman's heroic struggle up from sexhood into humanhood. Our friends have said that, as […]
