 You do not need an invitation to attend any of the meetings or activities hosted by your tea party. Just show up, speak up and get actively involved.  YOUR tea party has many needs; the time to make an impact on the upcoming election is short. IF we are to make a difference then the minds, voices, hands and feet of Patriots must get to work.  The opportunities are there.

 If you are unsure of what to do call the office. (683-3945) Do NOT sit on the sideline thinking that others will do the work. I can assure you that there are a handful of Patriots who are giving it everything they have BUT they need help. This is the time to decide if you are going to step up and get involved in saving America.

Wishing you all an active and bless week.

God Bless you and God Bless OUR America!
