Amy Kremer

Amy Kremer considers herself a true Southern Belle. She was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and attended Auburn University. She is a former Delta Airlines flight attendant who that has traveled all over the world. Before flying, Amy had a successful career in Real Estate in the Atlanta market. After leaving Delta, Amy enjoyed the opportunity to stay at home with her only daughter until she went away to college. Prior to the Fall of 2008, Amy had never been involved in politics. During the campaign season, she found she had a real interest in politics and began blogging. After many months of yelling and screaming at her TV and radio, she decided to get engaged as an activist. Amy became politically active early in 2009 through social media. She was one of the original founders of the Atlanta Tea Party and was also the nationwide event coordinator for the first round of tea parties that took place across the country on February 27th. After the February 27th tea parties, Amy worked very closely with the Don't Go Movement, Smart Girl Politics, and TCOT (Top Conservatives on Twitter) as the Nationwide Event Coordinator for Tax Day Tea Party. She was instrumental in coordinating the efforts for Tax Day Tea Party 2009. During the first week of March 2009, after realizing through all of her hard work with activists across the country, there was a movement being born out of the tea parties, she founded Tea Party Patriots (no longer affiliated). In August of 2009, Amy joined the Tea Party Express bus tour and traveled across the country. Shortly before the second Tea Party Express tour, Amy left Tea Party Patriots and joined the Tea Party Express PAC as the Director of Grassroots and Coalitions. Amy is now the Chairman of the Tea Party Express and has five successful nationwide bus tours under her belt. During the 2010 election cycle, Kremer played a major role in several key elections. From supporting Scott Brown’s historic victory in the Massachusetts Senate race, to victories for Sharron Angle for Senate in Nevada, Mike Lee for Senate in Utah, Joe Miller for Senate in Alaska and Christine O’Donnell for Senate in Delaware. Kremer and the Tea Party Express also played critical roles in defeating Arlen Specter’s bid for re-election to the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, and Bart Stupak’s bid for re-election to Congress in Michigan – after Congressman Stupak sold out and voted for Obama’s government-run healthcare scheme. The Tea Party Express played a vital role in several other races including Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Raul Labrador of Idaho, Allen West and Marco Rubio of Florida. Most recently Amy and the Tea Party Express have been working in Wisconsin to support Governor Scott Walker and his fiscally responsible legislation. They were instrumental helping to re-elect David Prosser to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and to defeat a liberal activist who was expected to overturn the Walker legislation. In the summer of 2011, Tea Party Express did a mini tour through the state of Wisconsin and played a critical role in helping the Republicans keep the majority in the Senate despite the recall efforts of the left. In addition to her role with Tea Party Express, Amy is also a co-founder of a nonprofit organization, American Grassroots Coalitions. American Grassroots Coalition's mission is to work with other organizations in order to educate citizens in an effort to empower them to make a difference on local, state, and national levels. American Grassroots Coalition wants to educate and empower, so that all citizens become engaged in the political process. Amy has joined the Doctor Patient Medical Association as a co-chair of the Patient Power Project. DPMA is a nonpartisan association of doctors and patients dedicated to preserving free choice in medicine. In her position as co-chair of the Patient Power Project, she conducts workshops and training for patient empowerment across the country. In addition to training, Amy also does advocacy work for Doctor Patient Medical Association. In October 2009, Amy was awarded the Shining Scalpel Award by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. This award has only been awarded three times in the 66 year history of AAPS. The award was given to honor outstanding service to the American people and to the profession of medicine by mobilizing the Tea Party movement, and organizing public town hall meetings to “cut” through the political rhetoric on “health care reform.” Amy was given this award because her leadership helped to “shine a light” so that patients can make informed political choices. Since becoming involved with the grassroots movement, Amy has spoken at many tea parties and rallies across the country. She was a speaker at the 9/12 March on D.C. and was a keynote speaker at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville. In the fall of 2009 and 2010, Amy participated as a panelist at the Value Voters Summit in Washington, D.C. She has appeared on Fox News Channel numerous times and was the original tea party contact with the Sean Hannity Radio Show. In the spring of 2010, Amy was honored to be the first guest from the tea party movement to appear on The View. Amy has also appeared on CNN, Fox News, NBC, and MSNBC and other media outlets as one of the original grassroots coordinators within the movement. While tea parties and political activism have consumed Amy's life for the past two years, she still enjoys traveling, cooking, gardening, wine, and antiquing in her spare time. Amy is your average Mom that loves her country and wants her child to have what she has always had. She will continue to work tirelessly in an effort to protect the documents and freedoms upon which America was founded. Amy resides in Atlanta with her family and two chocolate labs.
