MY TEA PARTY FRIENDS

I had my own personal tsunami in Tallahassee last Tuesday.  A group of Tea Party members drove together to Tally to participate in the opening of the legislature and hold a rally on the steps the following day.  As we headed up I-10, I was coughing and hacking with my usual allergy attacks this time of year.  When we arrived in Tally, I became very ill.  I almost crawled into our hotel room and quickly climbed into bed.  Something wasn’t right.  I felt…

ACTION ALERT: CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES TODAY

 

Obamacare passed illegally.  Hidden funding of the bill has been exposed and the Obama Administration, Pelosi and Reid did it illegally.  No one is doing anything in DC about it so we have to do it.  The hidden appropriation of Obamacare was $105,000,000,000 (that is $105 Billion). 

You can watch Rep. Michelle Bachmann explain this underhanded, Chicago-style politics that was pushed down on the American people.  Watch it here: …

BLOCK U.S. SENATE APPROVAL OF OBAMA'S NOMINEE TO HEAD BATFE, ANTI-GUN ZEALOT ANDREW TRAVER... NOW!

It's probably not news to anyone that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) is completely out of control. In their “Project Gunwalker” program, they've been funneling American guns into Mexico. One of those guns was used by a Mexican drug runner to kill a U.S. Border Patrol Agent. The BATFE’s negligence and obsession with carrying out an anti-gun political agenda cost the life of an American law enforcement officer.



President Obama, a gun hater,…

Union Thuggery Protected By Law

Day after day we see videos of union members engaged in acts of intimidation or outright physical violence against those who dare question or challenge their plunder of tax payer dollars. You may have asked yourself, "How does Big Labor get away with this? How do they go unpunished?" The answer is a shocking one. Their violent acts are protected by the United States Supreme Court.

In 1934 Congress passed the Anti-Racketeering Act to combat organized crime by prohibiting the use or…

Red State: House Leadership Let Obamacare Expansion Pass

3/9/2011 posting on Red State.  The bill passed with a vote of 280 to 138 with 95 republicans voting for it.........more spending in the form of subsidies!  Why would the republicans vote for this and why did they allow it to be introduced?

 

The Veterinary Public Health Amendments Act (HR 525), introduced by Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), would increase the number of veterinarians with public health training via federal…

Can we prevent taxpayer union monies from supporting demonstrations against our tax saving measures?

With unions framing bargaining as a civil rights issue, how can we combat using our tax dollars for this?  If public worker unions are included in this $30M pouring into demonstrations against we the people, or better defined as we the tax payers (whose money is being squandered), then we should have a voice in limiting the bargaining money to non-tax funds.

 

"As part of that strategy, unions are planning rallies across the country on April 4 — the anniversary of Martin Luther…

Comparing Reactions to Yesterday's Hearing on Radical Islam

from my blog at http://theatleeappeal.com

 

A lot of hullabaloo is coming out of Washington in regards to yesterday’s hearing on radical Islam. The hyper-sensitive politically correct crowd is acting like they just witnessed a family member get beheaded on Al-Jazeera. The debates have been heated, as expected, but there will surely be more that comes out of…

My wife was seated in the airport waiting to catch her flight back home. So far so good. She was already past security waiting in the gate area. As usual, she was reading a book trying to pass the minutes until it was time to board. My wife can be as entertained by people watching as anyone. However if she…

Rally in Tally Epiphany!



Rally In Tally Epiphany!

 

Getting up at 2am to take a bus ride to your state capitol is not likely a top 10 item on most people’s list of “things to do”.  However, March 8th thousands of Floridians did just that.  In the parking lot of a local Target we met early Tuesday morning to head to our capitol for the opening day of the legislative session. 

We stopped in MacClenny to pick up more…

There are 192 Countries That Exist In The World & We Give Foreign Aid To Over 150 Of Them!

There are 192 Countries That Exist In The World & We Give Foreign Aid To Over 150 Of Them!  I've contacted my congressman's and representative's offices asking them to vote with Rep. Poe to look individually at each one to determine if we can actually afford to continue this aid.  Our church has to decide which missionaries we can afford to support and re-evaluate with each year's giving promises.  Our country needs to do that as well.  Our church giving is voluntary.  Our tax giving is…

Rally in Tally

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Yesterday I had the uinque pleasure to see our Government in action first hand.

I went on the bus to the Rally in Tally, I got to visit my Senators offices, express my views, attended an open sesssion of the Senate, and meet many new Tea Party buddies.

The only thing that did not go well, was Billie having to go to the hospital. We all know she has been suffering from the effects of "Yellow Snow", our prayers are with her.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
