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 information - I am familiar with The Heritage Foundation. I was not familiar with the others.

John & Audrey Anderson Billie, posted a earlier posts weeks ago about our alliance with The Heritage Foundation, which i am member of as well as wallbuilders, 9/12 project, the Tenth Amendment Center, the last two have state groups also, there are several other groups that support the U.S. Constitution and smaller government that escape me right now. But the groups that i named stand up for the principles and values of our founding fathers.

To get organized we need to link up with an organization that stands for the values of the Tea Party Movement or start one which is a watchdog against falsehoods from the politicians on both sides and become known for finding and digging for the truth. It needs a name like "We the people", or "Freedom Rings" or something that does not identify us with one of the parties but speaks for small Govt. and upholding the constitution.

Below is a link to my new blog I just posted, titled:
"SAUL ALINSKY WOULD BE AS PROUD OF BARACK OBAMA'S MAJOR MIDDLE EAST SPEECH AS MICHELLE OBAMA IS..."
It demonstrates the sophisticated degree of community organizing to which voters in both Jacksonville (Duval County) and Tampa (Hillsborough County) were up against in the very recent county elections. It also shows what we'll be up against, very likely with much greater force, from now until the 2012 national election.
It also shows, in no uncertain terms, that Barack Obama is a solidly confirmed Alinsky-style socialist committed to installing a socialist government in this country.
The Tea Party has to get highly organized and hit the ground running...NOW! Otherwise, we will see a repeat performance in what will be the most important election of our lifetimes... in 2012.

And I forgot to mention the Obama operatives in the name of MoveOn.org and Organizing for America being here as well!

You are dead on Rebecca and a black PHd came on the TU and said exactly that same thing, one of the stations went into the heavy voting areas for Brown and almost all of them said Brown was one of them (one added that at least he didn't use a teleprompter.....small concilation for them foisting another liberal progressive onto our city when we thought the likes of Peyton as going to be gone). What is worse is that they really believe that white people vote for white people for the same reason and actually don't realize most white people do not vote that way but instead for on the issues and what someone stands for. We already know that Peyton said whatever he had to to get elected, let's hope at least some of what Brown said was not just to get elected, but I fear it is! Right now being a fiscal conservative is high of the list of desireable attributes and so.......Brown was a fiscal conservative! But something far more ominous was in the works in our fair city. The national democratic party acknowledged spending $500,000 on this campaign, tons of "other" Washington insiders donated large amounts of money, many so-called republicans came out of the closet and donated to Brown (knowing full well he was a liberal progressive), President Bill "I did not have sex with the woman" Clinton made a robo call for Brown, The TU not one time (until after the election or so close it didn't have any impact) said anything really negative about Brown or even told the truth about some of the things they should have informed the people of Jacksonville about, so now, hmmmm why was this election so important and why did the democrats need to ram a democratic mayor down the throats of not just Tampa but Jacksonville too? Obama. This wasn't about our fair city and our problems, this was not a local election, and it wasn't about the best man winning. It was planned to use the black vote (one article said Florida is 30% black and they are going to have to use that demographic to take the state in 2012) if Obama is to win the state of Florida. Mr. Brown never one time answered a really hard question. A few of us went to one forum and submitted a couple of questions and even though they were altered, they were probably the hardest questions he had gotten thus far.............he sure didn't like my union question and got noticeably angry someone would ask him (something about he has a right to support whatever he wants.......really? Not as mayor you don't; you support what the people want). Anyway, if you look at the facts and there are many, you have all you need to cross the Ts and dot the Is. We are all in for a bumpy ride, because I have no doubt the TU is going to support every single thing just as they did during the mayoral election!

this election goes to show you how black people stick together even if they do not agree with each other. the majority of blacks will vote for a person because he is black, not because he agrees with him, but because he is black. i am NOT putting black people down. it is just a fact. i have seen this all my life. it is a racial thing. most blacks are racist. they may not admite it but they are, just like alot of white people are racist. i wish it were not so, but it is. we need to start looking at a man or woman for what is in his heart and what he stands for and not the color of his skin. when obama was running for president and if you ask most black people why they were voting for him they would say because he is a brother and it is time we had a black man for pesident. they did not say because of what he would do for our country, but because he was a black man. this is sad but true. no matter what his skin color, if the man or woman can do the job we should vote for him, but not because he is black or white. i grew up in the south for 61 years and know this is fact. their a lot of black people and white people will vote for a person because he IS the man for the job. but there are more that vote for skin color. i wish it were not so, but it is. we need to educate more people on what a man stands for and less on skin color. maybe one day we will get there.

You're right, Jim Ryan. We didn't get any direct help that I know of from Florida's U.S. House of Representatives or U.S. Senate members or from our Republican state legislators. And, while Governor Rick Scott was great to come and speak at our Tax Day Rally, we could have used some more proactive support from him and his other supporters, as well. And, where was Ander Crenshaw? Surely they all knew how critical Jacksonville and northeast Florida are to success of the Democrats in 2012. And, surely they knew the SEIU, Organizing for America, and MoveOn.org were here aggressively working for Alvin Brown, and that he had the endorsements of Al Gore and Bill Clinton, as well as U.S. Rep. Corrine actively working for Brown. But endorsements are not even enough for our side in the face of such a national/international onslaught from the other side. I believe Mike Hogan did well to get the votes he did get, in the face of all that.
One rare thing you can say that is positive about U.S. Rep. Corinne Brown, is that she stood up for her candidate in the race, Alvin Brown. I don't approve of her political philosophy or methods, but she was there for him with her own boots on the ground. Our party's potentates were MIA, missing in action.

Roma, that is an excellent post. Please do it as a separate blog, for I'm sure many of us would like to participate in the dialogue on the subject of the evil and unconstitutional Federal Reserve. We need to include the other dangerous laws that were passed from 1913 through 1943. Someone could also do a blog about the re-writing of the history of this country and another that exposes the history of the progressive movement that distorts our true history and brainwashes students in public schools, colleges and universities all over this country. David Horowitz is a good source on this subject, as is Ann Coulter, who is a constitutional lawyer. And Rob Natelson and Thomas E. Woods are the best sources online for the Constitution and Nullification.
Also, it absolutely was the Democrats who clung to segregation and put in place the Jim Crow laws that extended segregation and eliminated the history of black patriots who were an integral part of winning the Revolutionary war and serving in our earliest Congresses. One of George Washington's most trusted aides was a black man. Wallbuilders and Glenn Beck have done an excellent job of bringing documented information about the true history of blacks who were a part of our early government to the fore.
Democrats were also the founders and perpetuators of the Ku Klux Klan.
Wallbuilders is a wonderful source of documented American history. They have a great website and do an e-mail newsletter.
I posted earlier that Congress needs to re-visit all of the progressive-socialist legislation from that time period, 1913 through 1943, and repeal it. That includes the Federal Reserve, which should be the first to go. We need to be sure we take back the U.S. Senate and the Presidency and demand that a Republican led government does just that, for this country will never get back to its founding principles and constitutional republic unless we do.

Where was Mica and the other state Republican's along with their staff and operatives who 6 months ago were out in full force campaigning and soliciting voters? I did not see the effort, if any, given to the Jax. mayors race by them. Leaders lead. This is their backyard and from my perspective they dropped the ball. Perhaps next election we should do the same to them. They owe the voters an appology.

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...…
