We are back from Iowa.  Please forgive us for not getting our blogs out to you sooner.   New Years eve day was spent making plans for our first live streaming event on StreetVoicesLive.com.  At that time we had 9 team members: Billie Tucker, CEO of Big Voices Media; Amy Kremer, American Grassroots Coalition and Tea Party Express; Jason Hoyt, Liberty Restoration Foundation; Ken  & Beth Hazen & Jared Rhodenizer with V.V.I.T.; Lu Coberly, Ted Wendler and Patricia DeFazio of FCTP.

There was much that needed to be done in order to get this project off the ground.  Between setting up equipment, scheduling interviews, running around to different rallies as well as interviewing people on the streets.  It was so exciting being in the midst of it all.  We were not only able to see some of the candidates from afar, but also on a more personal level while watching the interviews take place.  

While attending the Ron Paul Rally, we were able to get a couple of interviews with his supporters and get their perspective on their candidate.   
We also had the pleasure of filming for First Coast Tea Party's channel on Big Voices Media an interview given by Amy Kremer with Rick Santorum.  

Later in the day we went with Billie Tucker to a downtown Convention Center where she was interviewed by our local channel 12 News affiliate.  While there we were able to interview briefly a couple of  Korean International News reporters.  We were curious as to why international news agencies are so interested in our political elections.  Clips from some of the interviews were used in the live streaming event on Tuesday evening and will be archived on First Coast Tea Party's channel on Big Voices Media.com on demand for those of you who may want to view them later.  

Other individuals who joined our team were Jack Temple and Becky Gerritson from Wetumpka, Alabama Tea Party & Catherine Engelbrecht from truethevote.org.  

Our time in Iowa was educational, inspirational and fun.  To hear about what happened in Iowa, watch tonight on Channel 4 news at 5:30 and 6:00.  They interviewed Billie today to get insights into our trip.

Here are a few pictures from Ted, Lou and Patty reporting for First Coast Tea Party in Iowa.

Hey Nick. Those are temporary Jobs during Holiday. Some people are giving up looking for a job or their time limit for unemployment has expired. There are 17 million Americans still looking for job. However I hope it will continue the trend because people are hurting. We need Jobs. JOBS that are taken by illegals. Look around you, there are so many homeless people in America. While illegals, get free food stamps, free housing, free educations, free health care. We are spending 117 billion dollars to supports illegals, from the 787 Billion dollars Obama's Stimulus package. He sued Arizona and Alabama in protecting our borders.  He will fine or put you to jail if you do not buy your own health care as mandated. How ridiculous is that!. Also, to remind you that the downfall of the economy start in January 2007 when the Democrats took control of the Congress,  whom Chris Dodd and Barney Frank are in control of the Fannie mae and Freddie mac. Today we have a debt of 15 trillion dollars borrowed from the Chinese, and a whopping 1.5 trillion dollars deficit. Yeah...right!!!,  Obama is doing the right thing by indulging his uncontrollable over spending spree. Adios.

This will bring the REAL TAREGET back into view...

Remember, January 3, 2007 ...

 

 

This is just a History lesson. I am sending it to all regardless of party. It is history and nothing can change it.

The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.


The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:


The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

Remember that day...


January 3rd, 2007 was the day that
Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!

It looks like unemployment is coming down now 8.5% from 10.5 in 2008,Christmas had record sales highest ever ??? [ where are we hurting ] ,housing,manufacturing and stock market are all up.So maybe Obama is right and is doing the right thing.

Tea party. Thanks for what you do. I hope we supports the right Candidate. CAREFULLY.....

Comment by DURWIN WALTER DAVIS on January 5, 2012 at 6:12pm

Rick is a class act.  I'm glad you were able to spend some time with his group.  I think Rick will outlast Gingrich and hopefully Romney, but my main horse in this race is Perry.  I'm certain that the Bushes are all supporting Romney as he is of their "upper crust", rockefeller RINO republican, ilk.  The people will persevere and see through Mr. Big Bank Buddy, and Perry will end up the choice of the middle class, from all political directions.  For platform, I supported Michele Bachman; she was the most representative of the true conservative, "Tea Party" heart and soul.  "Candidates don't quit, they just run out of money..."  Too Bad!!!

Comment by Roy Anderson on January 5, 2012 at 4:33pm

From what Newt Gingridge pointed out following the Iowa caucaus, he said Romney Care, had Funding for Planned Parenthood and Abortion:  also same sex marriage; practically everything we are against, per se'.  He does not actually state that Obama Care has to be defeated and done away with, which is a must.   Rick Perry made that a definite point in Iowa.  Any candidate who does not actually say, Obama Care must go, is not getting my vote for sure.   Santorum and Perry have the Values I'm looking for in a candidate.   Good job 'Tea TEAM' for getting us the scoop of the goings on in Iowa.

Hey Billie, ya looked pretty good up there, please keep up the good work.

Comment by Deborah Kopcho on January 5, 2012 at 2:37pm

I like Rick Santorum, Romney to a rhino for sure. I believe Rick is a real candidate that will work for the country. The media is pushing Romney and we all know what he is all about, he might have had a democratic senate when it came to the Romneycare but Romney was Govenor and he did sign it. Rick is a homeboy to me, I went to school with some of his family. He was born and raised 28 miles from me, the family is a hard working italian family. They are real.

Comment by Nancy Jane Hergert on January 5, 2012 at 2:28pm

Thanks for being there and the good representation.  Santorum is the only real candidate in my view.  Go Rick.

Comment by LOTTO NICK ! on January 5, 2012 at 2:05pm

Romney is a fake !

The  establishment puppet [same old same old ].

We need a real consevative,who will confront our nations issues head on and not flip flop on issues.

Rick Santorums voting record ,clarity and stratagy to confront the issues are better than Romneys and his  Romney care.

Some one need to tell Mccain to retire and stop selling us out !!!!

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...…
