Great post Billie. Your part reflecting on the lives lost on the battlefields to preserve out freedom brings to mind a class trip I made to Washington DC at age 13. Of all the things I saw, including the Washington monument, the Lincoln memorial, etc.., The single most impacting event of my youg life at that point was walking through the graves at the Arlington cemetary. To this day I can see the thousands of gravestones lined in perfect rows, mute testimony to the ulitamte sacrifice made for my freedom. I wondered at that time if I would be called (Vietnam), and if so would I have the courage they had shown. I was so humbled to be there to witness such valor at such cost. Were they afraid. I assume they were frightened to death, but none ran away. Instead they fought on for their fellow soldiers, their families and their county, even to death. At age 13, I wondered how I could ever measure up to such a standard.
In retrospect I am reminded of a passage from Hebrews, stating that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses who have gone on before us. Heroes eveyone, who stand sentinel over our country, and it is they we can look to as our true patriots. Our fight is for them, to make certain their sacrifice was not in vain; to preserve the heritage given us by their blood, and to hand it to our children intact. We can do it. Never give up!

Thank you Billie. I am so thankful to be a part of this group. As we remain faithful to God's word and cloak ourselves in His armor, He will bless our efforts. On this Easter eve, I say thank you to all those who have worked so tirelessly to restore this country. For indeed, tomorrow brings us hope.

Well said Billie! I look forward to new battles and standing shoulder to shoulder with all the fine members of FirstCoastTeaParty.

Thanks Billie, I agree with everything you said, and I will not give up. As long as I am Breathing, I will stand with you and the Tea Party Movement. We must "stand up for our God Given rights and freedoms". WE cannot , and will not "sit down and shut up".

Billie;

Wonderful post. It lifted my spiits and helped remind us all as to the importance of what tomarrow is all about. The resurection of Jesus Christ. That should make everyone feel incredible. It surely does it for me.
As for the position of the Tea Party Movement, I just want everyone to understand this and not worry about the idiots in the "Lame" Stream Media. If the Democrates and the Liberals and the elitists in the media were not worried about this movement, they would not be spending so much time trying to discredit what we stand for. We stand for Independence. We stand for Freedom. We stand for smaller government. We stand for less free handouts to those who find it easier to just sit back and TAKE. We stand for the values that our founding fathers wrote down on that piece of parchment paper know to most of us as the Constitution. It still means something to us, even though the man in the Whitehouse thinks it is an outdated piece of junk.
We WILL be victorious in November when we vote all of these "Blind Sheep" out of office and get those in office who want to put this country back on the road to success.
Term Limits are the ONLY way we are ever going to take our country back from those who think we work for them. I for one have had it. Has anyone else?

Happy Easter to all of my friends at the First Coast Tea Party and my God Bless You All!

John

I agree completely with the statement that the negative attention and pressure that the Tea Party Movement is experiencing is a positive sign. If we weren't threatening to the liberal, progressive agenda then we would most certainly be ignored. Contrary to the effect that the lamestream media and liberals may have been hoping for, I have been motivated by the false accusations and bad press. Let's "Change the Change" in November with our vote!!

Beautiful Billie. Thank you for your hard work. I pray every day for God to guide us in saving our Republic. With Him as our guide, we cannot lose. As a tribute to a freedom fighter, Todd Beamer, LET'S ROLL!

It is in the hearbeat of every American to seek with joy and a sense of destiny new life after the death of winter. I as a Christian believe that the Messiah of Israel died for my sins and initiated the New Covenant to Israel and is extended to all nations. That is not a political statement but I want to live in a country where I am allowed to make it and live it without persacution or excessive taxation. It is time for all men of all religious persuations to at least protect the ideals of freedom without the tyranny of a socialist state of seizure and intimidation. Happy Resurrection Sunday to all people everywhere!
