Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
It's too exciting not to post: We've been vindicated by the TU
Today is Sunday, May 22, 2011 and we must give kudos to the TU. I’ll even refrain from calling them the Tiny Union since they made headways today to publish a story with facts vs opinions.
Article: The front page headline of the TU states “Brown won it on issues, advisers, ground game”
We thank you for this great report. It appears you finally did some factual reporting. In doing so you vindicated what the tea party members said, posted, blogged, and pushed out as far as we could without a media giant behind us and with a small donation bucket from our tea party members. Our vindication came with these facts made public in the article:
- Quote: “The ground game – paid workers who fanned out across the city to personally contact voters…”
- Vindication: We said the workers were PAID and we were up against a political machine.
- Quote: “Craig Kirby of Washington, DC, Brown’s campaign manager for the second election…” and “Bacote, a Maryland resident who teaches canvassing techniques for the Congressional Black Caucus…”
- Vindication: We said “out-of-towners” were here and would frame who our mayor would be
- Quote: “In the end, the victory came because of all of those things coming together: the support of Republicans…”
- Vindication: Our questioning the cross-over of Republicans to a Democrat and asking them why they just didn’t announce they were really Democrats in their hearts. We still encourage them to move to the correct party that they are called to instead of staying in the GOP as RINOs.
Article: The Metro page headline: Holland stands by mayoral race vote tally
A stolen private email among tea party leaders about the mayor’s race and how we could learn from it was put into the hands of Abel Harding. He chose to put it into an article. Thank you for this article. We are proud to ask that every single vote count. That’s been the mantra of the left so we think they were on to something here. Joseph Stalin once said: “It’s not WHO votes that counts. It’s who COUNTS the votes.”
Article: Editorial – Our next mayor has a long road ahead
“He did not meet with tea party leaders. He should invite them to offer concrete suggestions.”
Thank you editors! We asked to meet with Mr. Brown over and over again during his campaign. He ignored us. He did not fill out our questionnaire. He did not meet with the board. He did not attend our Mayoral Town Hall Debate. He did not respond to any of our requests. We were stood up and we hope he heeds your advice. We await his call.
So today the Tea Party can proudly say – “We told you so.” You may have made fun of us for saying out-of-towners were here and paid workers were smoking pot outside the GOP headquarters (we called them Zombies since they had glassy eyes from the pot) BUT today you proved us right. Thank you TU!
And a special recognition to the team behind Alvin Brown – good job.
We learned a lot and we’ll see you in November 2012.

Good for you JL (letting loose on RNC call). I've been telling them for 2 years to find someone with some testosterone (man or woman, I don't care) who will fight back against liberal tactics. I'm hopeful that with new leadership and falling reserves at RNC they're going to get the message. It may not be "fair" to unload on the folks making these calls to us but they are the connection and we need to get their attention so they'll pass the clear and concise message up to the top!

That should read '... we are NOT happy with the RNC or the GOP period.'

I just got a call from the National RNC and gave them a piece of my mind, i told them WHAT happened in Jacksonville and told them that we are sure we are going to get the same groups in here in 2012 and the State GOP and the local GOP did very little to support the GOP candidate for Mayor. The young lady held her breath and i told her that many, many people are very angry with the lack of support some GOP candidates are getting. I would advise all to do the same, i also told that we are ALL sitting back and weighing our options where to put our money and support for 2012 and we are NOT happy.

I certainly hope we have learned our lessons. Hogan had very little charisma and had very little outreach from the republican committee to those who were in a position to go out and work for him. Sort of like the McCain campaign. For example they were paying people to work for them who were Demos- came by every Fri. to get paid and no one taught them what to do and never even checked to see what kind of a job they were doing- which of course they weren't.

Obviously, I don't know if LBJ was involved in the assassination, but I highly suspect that he was! It was investigated, but do you really have any trust in Earl Warren? BTW, it is all academic now. I was just trying to point out that Democrats are 'historically unscrupulous' and without honor!
Always remember Proverbs 16:5. "Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished."

Hey, Robert, what's worse than stuffing the ballot box to become a Congressman? Are you connecting the dots... JFK was assassinated... LBJ was a corrupt former U.S. Congressman from Texas, was present in another vehicle when JFK was shot, was the current Vice President, and was ready, willing and able to be sworn right in as President on Air Force One back to Washington... all the while consoling Jacqueline Kennedy? Actually, I could be convinced to buy into that hypothesis.

You are correct JL. LbJ blocked it because it was offered by Republicans, and that , I believe, started the trend by Democrats to never allow Republicans to get any credit, only ridicule! LBJ also instigated the 501c3 coersion against the white churches ( it doesn't seem to apply to Black churches), and churches foolishly accepted it when they are actually protected by the !st Amendment! LBJ was an evil man!

That is interesting Robert, it is also interesting how he took full credit of the signing the Civil Rights bill when he was a Senator he blocked it and also was trying to take a key part out of the bill that would NOT have given people the complete civil rights. He was a politician in my opinion who had no principles or values and went against the Constitution and was just in it for personal gain.

Marty, i had completely forgotten Liz Cheney, i love listening to her talk. She really rebutted a comment that she made today and pushed back for the validity of the source, it was something to do with foreign policy on a comment from someone on Obama's team and she refused to have discounted. She is a plain speaker also and has a lot of working inside the defense department experience. She is a true patriot.

A quick note JL LBJ stuffed the ballot box in 1948 to become a Senator from Texas. He did much worse than that to become President in 1963!

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...…
