Need Help with Future Events

My Dad has been diagnoised with pancreatic cancer. I don't have much time left with my Dad, and can't do this by myself. PLEASE...If you all want the next rally to be a success, I NEED volunteers. It's not hard. It's not rocket sceince :) But it does take a bit of work. Right now my focus is on spending my Dad's last days with him, but this movement we have started is of vital importance. That is if we want to have the America we all love, to still be here. I see our country slipping out of control rapidly. So PLEASE...if you can spare a few hours of your time, email me and help keep our America out of the hands of an administration that is bound to change us into something our founding fathers wouldn't even recognize. Thank you! Laurie

Remember folks

our constitution says:

WE THE PEOPLE

Obamacare

There are discussions being held around the state on healthcare reform.  I think anyone that can should be there to voice our concerns.  The polls are showing, overwhelmingly, that Americans don't want nationalized healthcare.  We also need to show up and tell them we don't want it also.  Seems some of our elected officials have decided that they don't need to listen to the people that put them in office.  We have somehow become some big conglomerate sponsored, astro turf group that, supposed

The 9-12 Project

The 9-12 Project is designed to bring us all back to the place we were on September 12. 2001. The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States, or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protest the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created.

Praise from Dictators

Holy Back-alley Communist, Batman! I have just heard the speeches at the United Nations. They are enough to make Jimmy Carter do a back flip and a 'happy dance' in his grave (I realize that Jimmy Carter is still walking and talking, but really, he's dead inside). So now the President of the United States is getting praised by a dictator of a 'former' terrorist sponsoring country (You know, the guy with the funny hat that wears a colorful sundress that that had his intel agents bomb a plane out o… Continue

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Message from Tea Party Sponsor

Founder of the DontGo Movement
Is the Tea Party tied to the GOP? Of course not.

In fact, that couldn't be further from the truth. The reality is, the RNC has been about as effective as a lead balloon in actually engaging the free-market minded grassroots with regards to political action. The RNC, as well as all but two Republican members of Congress, have been eerily silent over the past few weeks.

RNC Chairman Steele's office did reach out to me… Continue

This is only the begining....

Written by teablogger on April 9, 2009 – 1:17 pm
If you’re like me, the Founding Fathers were a bit of a dim abstraction. In my view of history, they went to a great deal of trouble — pledging their lives, limbs and their sacred honor — so their descendants wouldn’t have to.

The same for the Great War for Emancipation, and all the other times in American history when people stepped forward as leaders in time of crisis. I’m sure they all would have preferred a life of quiet domesticity.

So here… Continue

You Tell Me

Three months have come and gone with our new President at the helm. In just 90 days, what was left of responsibility is quickly leaving the country. Bush lead the downward turn and by ‘George’ (pun intended), Obama is going to finish it in a grand way. Here’s a glimpse of the new ‘change’ and ‘hope’ - - -

- Tax evaders become cabinet members
- Losers get bailed out (mortgage defaulters, car companies, banks, etc.)
- Illegal aliens will get amnesty soon
- Barney Frank? Chris Dodd? Don’t even get… Continue

Just wanted to say HELLO

Welcome to all our new members...glad you have decided to join us...


Thomas Jefferson

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”
"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” -- THOMAS JEFFERSON

ANOTHER NEAT IDEA

Ingredients:
2 tea bags
1 piece of ribbon, tied into a bow (red and/or blue would go nicely with the white tea bag - our flag’s colors)
1 safety pin
Optional - a pin of your choice. I show here a “boot” - as a statement to boot the politicians OUT.
