Lehigh Valley Tea Party is now Lehigh Valley MAGA !
The Lehigh Valley Tea Party has rebranded as Lehigh Valley MAGA but is far more than a name change. We have a new vision and mission, which through community involvement, will improve the lives of all who live in the Lehigh Valley by reducing corruption that is built into the political system now.
Our goal is to encourage honest, truthful people from the community to run for public office and to fill seats with people who run in order to serve community rather than themselves.

#3 NEWS STORY Ukrainian Drones STRIKE Russian Boat - Then THIS Happened…
For more information CLICK HERE
At dawn on June 24, 2025, a Russian landing craft loaded with troops
raced toward Kherson’s shore—completely unaware it had been tracked for 27 minutes by a Bayraktar TB2 drone orbiting 18,000 feet above.
What followed wasn’t just another drone strike. It was a surgical elimination of a Russian special operations team, caught mid-mission and carrying demolition gear intended for targets deep in Ukrainian territory.

WE THE PEOPLE of these United States are a society that is managed by self-rule. We are a nation for the People, by the People and of the People.
May we all be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people.
And America will retain sufficient strength to prevail PEACE if need be.
Our biggest weapon to maintain that strength is not in guns and bombs but the will and moral courage of free men and woman.
The Americans of today just like our forefathers of the past are ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves, for our children and our children’s children.
We are a nation under God and we believe God intended for us to be free.

Over 2.7 million inadmissible aliens have been released into the country by the BIDEN administration since January 2021.
There has also been 1.5 million “got-aways” — individuals observed entering illegally
but not stopped.
The lifetime fiscal drain (taxes paid minus costs) for each illegal immigrant is about $68,000.

Do you have
The right to bear arms?
Does the 2nd Amendment actually say,…”shall not be infringed,” or does that word “INFRINGED” mean something else?
In modern times was the Second Amendment envisioned by the framers of the Constitution to be an individual’s Right to Carry and use Arms for self-defense?

Freedom of Religion
Is it really a Right?
Why does the U.S. government put so many restrictions on what a Pastor, Preacher, Minister or Rabbi can or cannot say about politics during a Sunday or Saturday service? Does the 1st Amendment say ” MAY NOT impose nor place undue restrictions on religious practices,”
I think the government does not know the meaning of undue restrictions. What do you think?
