I just heard a report on WOKV radio that's so many people are calling the Capital that the switchboard is swamped and all people are getting is a busy signal. I called the toll free 1- 877 number I gave below and yep, it's busy.

Last night President Obama said to call the representatives and senators to let them know how you felt. People obviously are, but I suspect not with the message he demands.

Folks in case ya'll haven't heard this, WSBTV in Atlanta reported a news story in last couple of weeks, Obumbler and State Dept. have a program that involves $770 MILLION DOLLARS GOING TO MUSLIM COUNTRIES to rebuild/repair MOSQUES AND BUY COMPUTERS FOR THEM!!  While he's scaring seniors over SS checks not going out, he's giving millions to muslim countries for mosques and computers!  Go on YouTube and see the video about a Elaborate Welfare Housing Complex built in Tacoma, Washington from $225 MILLION OF SOCIAL SECURITY DOLLARS FOR ALIENS (Chinese, Korean). Report from the citizen in that city says aliens are drawing $2642 a MONTH in SSI, food stamps and section 8 housing!!  Aliens CAN LEGALLY DRAW SS FOR 10 MONTHS--estimated 25 MILLION ARE DRAWING SS checks paid for by American taxpayers!!  It's no wonder U.S. is BROKE, NO WONDER WE CAN'T STOP THE FLOW OF ILLEGALS!

In my blog I mentioned that paid volunteers with their pre-made signs would show up.  Take a look at this:

 A thank you to Billie Tucker, to all our First Coast Tea Party members, and to all TeaParty members across our great land.

Light a match in a dark room and watch as the light instantly overcomes the darkness. Observe the power and grace of that single, solitary flame dancing with life. Now light several candles or kindle a fire and experience the added warmth and comfort extending from that first, vulnerable flame through others. This is the heart and soul of leadership - the essence of inspiring others. It is about courageously casting off fear, doubt and limiting beliefs and giving people a sense of hope, optimism and accomplishment. It is about bringing light into a world of uncertainty and inspiring others to do the same. This is what we call passion, the fire within.
Passion is a heartfelt energy that flows through us, not from us. It fills our hearts when we allow it to and it inspires others when we share it. It is like sunlight flowing through a doorway that we have just opened. It was always there. It just needed to be accepted and embraced. Under the right conditions, this "flow" appears effortless, easy and graceful. It is doing what it is meant to do. It is reminding us that we are meant to be purposeful. We are meant to be positive. We are meant to be passionate. We feel this when we listen to and accept our calling in life. We feel it as inspiration when we open the door of resistance and let it in.  

Inspiration springs forth when we allow ourselves to be "in-spirit," aligned with our true essence. Stop and think about it: When you feel truly passionate and inspired about someone or something, what frame of mind are you in? What are you willing to do? What kind of effort are you willing to put forth? How fearful are you? Chances are, you feel motivated to do whatever it takes, without fear or doubt, to turn your vision into reality. You grow in confidence. You believe you can do it. You are committed from the heart and soul.
 The list below are ten key factors for leading with passion and inspiring peak performance. These "essentials" serve to guide and remind leaders how they can "open the door" and facilitate flow. By practicing these essentials, you will tap the extraordinary potential in yourself and others and realize results you may never have dreamed possible. Look to any inspiring leader and you will see these key factors in action. Observe the best of the best and you will witness the power of passionate leadership. Make no mistake - leading with passion inspires world change. It is the only thing that ever really has.

    Defining the Tea Part Spirit:

Clarify purpose, context and meaning
Create a compelling vision to focus intention and attention
Gain commitment from the heart, not just agreement from the head
Set priorities and focus efforts on what matters most
Recognize and accept the power of grace
Foster more creativity and innovation
Demonstrate integrity and build trust
Lead by passionate example
Generate growth in yourself and others
Awaken the Spirit in work

The 2012 election is about Undoing the Damage.   Which I think would make an excellent campaign slogan and theme.

                                                       Election 2012 - UNDOING THE DAMAGE

At the top of that list is Repealing Obama Care and the economic damage and uncertainty it has created already and will continue to do going forward.  The Tea Party will carry the torch and shed the light.

Tea Party members,

keep up the good work. In last nights speech, President Obama said "I realize that a lot of the new members of Congress and I don't see eye-to-eye." Those new members he spoke about were elected  mostly by us, the Tea Party! The old members are job scared. They know they can be replaced. Let's keep the pressure on Congress to reduce debt and balance the budget, with no new taxes. The politicians are also substituting the word "revenue" for taxes to attempt to fool us. The current level of government spending is not sustainable. Raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations, will slow the economy and result in higher unemployment.

 What I believe is needed to revive the economy is the Fairtax Plan. Please see Fairtax.org for more information.

Remember; the individual has always lost in tax compromises.  What we will lose here is; 1.) mortgage interest deduction of taxable income.  (Do you know ther was NO INDIVIDUAL PERSONAL INCOME TAX BEFORE 1916?.  Businesses paid tax on "profits"  Profits were "income".  The individual paid no tax on the barter exchange of labor for currency.  There was no "profit", hence no "income"  General Electric paid no income tax).  2.)  deductions for charitable donations (the atheistic government bureaurats want you to give your blood, sweat and teared gotten money to the alter of the "state" and they will distribute it as it is needed).  Don't complain if you don't call.  Money is the ammo needed by your outfit.  Your outfit is the First Coast Regimental Tea Party; Col. Billie Tucker, C.O.

I noticed at the bottom of the TV 12 yesterday, the station exspressed a politically charged message essentially blaming the house conservatives for the stalemate, and admonished them for posturing politically and to cease and desist and to get inline with Hussein and give Hussein what he wants instead of trying to score politically gaining points.  It spurnned me to drop what ever else I was doing and I called all the house members they listed, in Florida and Georgia, including the senators of both states.  I am getting ready to do it again.  My message, briefly; NO RAISING THE DEBT CEILING!  NO NEW TAXES!  DON'T TAKE AWAY TAX BREAKS TO THE INDIVIDUALS OF CHARITABLE DONATIONS.  John Ray is correct!  Call all and call often.  I also inform them my political pledges are made through the TEA PARTY!

Rudy:  I am going to ask you to calm down.  Your ranting and calling people names in one sentence adn then saying you love them in another is not helpful.  If you want to get your message out - do so in a calm and factual way.  We are all aware of the fake birth certificate and we are aware of Obama's Marxism and we are aware of "fake Christians" but the ranting and raving does nothing.  Telling people the truth and basing it on facts is how we win people over.  I know you are upset - and so are we.  Just try to calm down your postings and please stop using all capital letters.  It does mean you are shouting at people which may not really be the case but it appears that way.  Thanks Rudy.  We love your passion and ask that you think before posting.
