March is Women’s History Month and the mainstream media likes to focus on those women who lean more to the left than the right when they write their articles.  There are many women who have been standing for freedom long before the Tea Party Movement was birthed.  They were standing in the doorway waiting for more of us to come.  One of those women is Laura Ingraham, radio talk show host and former law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence…

The Tea Party Movement has been shining a light on the dirty parts of our political process since September 2008.

Yesterday the First Coast Tea Party along with the Navy League had lunch together to hear from Peter Brookes of Heritage.  James Carafano had planned to be with him to give us a National Security Briefing.  We planned this event months ago and had no idea that Libya would be under fire on the same day as our event.

While you were sleeping, the United States shredded the Constitution and declared it invalid. 

Here’s what happened:

I do not write a blog unless I am moved to do so.  I try to listen to my inner soul to tell me what to write.  Some days the blogs are motivational and some are action oriented.  It just depends on how I’m moved that morning.

When I woke this morning, I turned on my computer and as the emails…

The GOP leadership didn’t like it.  The Tea Party Movement did.

Here’s what happened:

• A vote was taken to keep the government operating with another 3 week Continuing Resolution.  A…

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…
