This week I watched my new granddaughter come into this world.  I could smell the scent of heaven all over her as I kissed her cheeks and held her tight.   I whispered a welcome in her tiny ear and prayed for her to be safe in this new world.

Just as I did with my own children, I want so much to protect my grandchildren from the dangers of the world.  I know I will worry about the…

Florida is my home and we’ve been through hurricane watches and warnings many times before.  We are blessed this time because Irene decided to give us a break and head up north. 

We pray for those who have never experienced the power of a hurricane and hope they will heed warnings and prepare accordingly.  We have had our share of preparing for possible destruction.  We’ve stood in…

We have been reading this series of interviews and it felt something like the Watergate scandal and Deep Throat. 

We received this from a Washington, DC insider.  If these interviews are true -- we have a serious problem in the White House.  If these interviews are made up -- this makes for a great novel.

The language is bad and you will be trying to figure out who is…

The First Coast Tea Party is proud to be a co-sponsor of the CNN/Tea Party Express Presidential Debate in Tampa on 9/12  

Join us on Monday, September 12, 2011 for Dinner & Presidential Debate Watch…

As our country sits on the edge of destruction, Rep. Maxine Waters, tells the tea party to go to hell.

There are no words to say for statements like this coming from "leadership" in Washington.

Reality is:  Because they refuse to listen to the people, our country is going to hell.  They are taking it there with their radical agenda and their hate-filled hearts.

Ms. Waters is either in fear that we are right or in fear that her agenda and the…

I read an article this morning about a 9/11 widow of the Pentagon attacks.  As I read it, I wondered how we could have changed so much.

In the days and months following the terrorist attack on America and the murder of 3,000 of…

Four years ago during a trip to Lowe’s, I once again found myself in the Land of New Appliances.  As I rounded the corner, a thrill went up my leg.  “Yes!” I said to myself in a loud voice in my head.  My two girls had finally gone on sale and I HAD to have them!  The Bosch washing machine and dryer stood tall and beautiful and they appeared to be smiling right at me.  As Randy walked towards me from his Land of New Tools, he immediately knew we were going to have a…

I grew up as a teenager during Rock & Roll’s takeover of the music industry.  I was a pre-teen when rock and roll music showed up in movies with the rock and roll stars singing beach blanket bingo in their bikinis or Elvis singing and dancing on a Hawaiian Island…

Day to remember before we die

What’s happening at the First Coast Tea Party this coming week?  A lot!

One thing is certain, we are not letting “grass grow” under our “grassroots feet!”

Join us and bring your friends ---

Sunday morning is my favorite day of the week.  There is a certain calmness that seems to come from a place not of this world.  

We do not have the rush to get up and get off to work as we do Monday through Friday.  Saturday is…

I grew up with Saturday morning cartoons AND 30 minute western shows.  You would think because I was a young girl I wouldn’t like westerns but I did.  I loved them because the good guy always won and the pretty girl won the good guy!

I thought you could use a nice thought as you head off to bed.  We done good, faithful servants!

Laffer had high praise for the role the tea party has played in bringing the problem of the deficits to the fore.



“The tea party is not the problem, the tea party may well be the solution,” he said. “They are critical to the future of…

The Super Committee has now been assigned.   Our future is in their hands.

The First Coast Tea Party has also decided to assign each of their members to the Committee.  We are compiling a list of areas of waste that the Government can cut to keep them from raising our taxes.  If you want to participate, please leave your comments and any links showing that specific item.…

Remember what we taught you about "political language?"  When the left says something and it sounds good, ask them for a defintion of their words.  They are usually 100 degrees away from what the right's definition is.  Don't be snookered by their words.

Here's a great example of "snookering."  Read this email MoveOn.org sent yesterday and then carefully read how they plan to "Secure Social Security" and "Medicare for…

Yesterday was rough for Americans.  We had the rug pulled out from under us again as our hard earned and hard saved 401(k), pension and IRA dollars were snatched out of our accounts.  The stock market took a dive into the deep end of the pool.

As the stock market was crashing, I was spending my afternoon with Mother who may have broken her…

Tarek Fatah is a Canadian moderate Muslim Advocate who considers himself a liberal democrat.  He campaigned for Obama and believes there are advisors around Obama who are intentionally destroying our culture along with our economy.  He believes they are from the Muslim Brotherhood; and being a Muslim himself, he can talk to these points.

This is a 15…
