Last week I wrote an email to the managing editor of the Florida Times-Union, Frank Denton, daring him to allow Billie to become a weekly columnist with the newspaper.  I told him that if they are going to continually bash Billie and all things FCTP, they should at least be willing to give her equal time.  I told him that I would share his reply with my fellow tea-partiers.  Notice that he mentions national conservative columnists (that has nothing to do with the local bashing of the T-U of…

Happy Fall everybody! Just some quick ramblings here.



Does anybody know of any good children's coloring books, comic books, etc., about the Constitution, founding of America, etc., that might be available to hand out on Halloween? I thought one of those and some candy would be a great treat for the kids in my neighborhood. I will search the 'net, but thought maybe some of you had already found something like that you could recommend.



Also, I see Kevin Hyde dropped out of the… Continue

I think this will be a valuable website as we study and learn more about City finances.

This article in the Times-Union today is another attempt by the media to tie the Republican Party together with the Tea Party. We know they are doing this intentionally.

At the March on Washington in 2009 I met a man who was in his early 40's who admitted to me that the 2008 election was the first time in his ENTIRE LIFE he had ever voted!! He's not the only one. We would probably be shocked at the number of Americans who never vote and, in fact, have never even registered.



If you are not registered to vote, do so now! You only have until Monday, October 4th, to register and still be able to vote in this year's general election. If you have a friend,… Continue

We have to realize that we need to be working NOW! Voting doesn't wait until November 2nd. Early voting here in FL starts October 19th. That's only 30 days away! Beginning on October 19th, many, many people will have already made up their minds about who they are going to vote for and will cast a ballot. Also, absentee voting will be taking place soon as well. Now is the time for all hands on deck!! Talk to your neighbors, put out those yard signs, post information on your Facebook page,… Continue

Just received a notice from Travelocity that fares to D.C. are on sale at $199. Not sure of all the details of dates, times, airlines, etc., but just wanted to pass this along. Now might be the time to get your tickets for September 12th!

As of June 30th, the station WBOB will be no more. They were moving down the dial to WZNZ but that fell through. I was told by an inside source that the WBOB Board of Directors needs to hear from the public so that they know there is a demand for their station and their programming. (A new station is taking over WBOB and will be changing the call letters and the programming). So if you listen to WBOB and like Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, etc., please drop an email to… Continue

According to Ron Littlepage in this morning's FTU, anybody who had questions about the appointment of Parvez Ahmed is just a bigot. Here's the article. The FTU also persists in calling ACT for America an "anti-Islam" and "anti-Muslim" group, even after being contacted by the director of the organization and members of the organization in protest of this label. We've tried to explain we are not "anti-Muslim" but rather "anti-radical". There are even Muslims who are on the board and staff of ACT… Continue

This is a great program! Click on the link to buy a cup of joe (or two or three) for our men & women currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. It costs as little as $2 to participate in this. This is something everybody can do to show their appreciation!!!

Please make note of the article about this appointment in today's Florida Times-Union. Please note that John Crescembini (a Democrat) is the one who recommended this appointment to the Mayor's office. Please note that the Mayor obviously went along with the nomination without having ever checked out this man. Please note that Richard Clark is standing behind the nomination. Also please note that Crescembini is maligning ACT Jacksonville for taking a stand against this nomination, a man with… Continue
