Governor Scott Unveils His Budget:The Whining Begins

A week ago, we received a call asking if the tea party leaders wanted to meet with Governor Scott and hear his budget before anyone else.  We said “Yes” and quickly put together an event in central Florida.  The town of Eustis welcomed more than 1,000 tea party leaders and members along with dozens of cameramen, satellite trucks and state and city law enforcement officials.

The plan was to have lunch with tea party leaders and then meet outside on the grassy area overlooking the…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR PRESIDENT: From theTea Party Movement

Today is Ronnie’s 100th birthday.  We feel we can call him Ronnie because President Ronald Reagan was one of us.  He knew us.  He thought like us.  He experienced what we did.  He lived within our culture and he was proud of our principles.  He was an American, he loved America and he boasted of its goodness.  He made us all proud to be an American.

When Ronnie became our President,…

I SEE DEBT PEOPLE

I was among the 1.7 million people who walked in the March on DC on 9/12/2009.  It was one of the most memorable days of my life and I will never, ever forget the feeling of walking with my beloved new friends in this movement as we stood up for liberty.

 

The signs that day were all over the place.  Each sign was a personal passion of the individual…

A THANK YOU IS DUE

We had a meeting a couple of nights ago and along with our regular attendees two new people also showed up.  As we went around the room and introduced ourselves, one of the new attendees told everyone this meeting was his “coming out” party.  He felt he could now come out of the closet and define himself as a tea party member and he was proud of…

Are the Unions running our country through permission from President Obama? Appears so.

Executive Order 13522, entitled Creating Labor-Management Forums to Improve Delivery of Government Services, was signed by President Obama in October 2009.  Leave it to this administration to create an Executive Order of such magnitude while our focus was on the healthcare bill. 

 

In a nutshell, unions will be given a seat at the table for all meetings and they do not…

High Speed Rail: Who's behind the curtain on this Spending Spree? CALL TO ACTION!

President Obama and our very own Rep. John Mica are touting federal dollars to assist Florida in bringing High Speed Rail to our sandy shores. 

 

Issue:  Federal dollars are OUR dollars.  The Federal government does not make money – they take ours in from tax dollars.  We do not want to use our tax dollars we send to the Federal government to be sent back to Florida to pay for High Speed Rail.  Something smells fishy here.  Who’s behind the curtain of the High Speed…

The myth of Global Warming

Here is some recent Congressional testimony by Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT on why Global Warming is myth.

 

Glad to hear experts are stepping up to the plate about this lie.  The People of America have been doing it for a while now!

Life: Are we skipping over it?

The Declaration of Independence ensures each American is given the opportunity for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

 

Why do we skip over “Life” and instead talk more about our Liberties and how they give us happiness?

 

Could it be that “Life” is a given?  We get up every day and we are alive.  Okay, that was easy – our right…

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...…
