What happened to that morning coffee moment where your thoughts were filled with what to make for Sunday dinner, was your fishing license expired, or what to do for your spouses upcoming birthday?  Though your world was not perfect it was your world and that was o.k.

     Or at least it was until early in 2008; sitting in my kayak on Trout Creek hoping to catch a nice bass or at least a decent crappie, wondering if I had the right color bait on my line to even catch anything.  Listening to the radio watching the water ripple as the bait hit the surface; my world was unraveling and I didn’t even know it.  The morning routine of coffee and watching Katie Couric came crashing down when suddenly, like Alice in Wonderland, nothing was as it seemed and everything was wrong.  How did I sense the wrongness?  Was it that guy called Neal Boortz, or perhaps the one my husband listened to, Rush Limbaugh?  Either way, I knew something was wrong.

     Like many of you, my journey that began with a feeling and has brought me to a place where life can never return to those coffee moments or, for me, at least not to the state of ignorant bliss I once lived in.  I found my way to the First Coast Tea Party, learned about city councils, mayors, senators, congressmen, and legislation.  Along the way I lost a father, lost a grandson, made some beautiful friendships, parted ways with some who were called friends, and found a country on fire from within.

     What was my part in all of this and what could I do as one person to have any impact?  Just as surreal as it was to “wake-up” to this new reality was the journey I have been on since that cool February morning.  From a rally in Washington, D.C. with over one million new friends in liberty to knocking on stranger's doors to talk to people about a candidate running for city council.  From full time volunteer to part-time office work at the First Coast Tea Party to full time field coordinator for Americans For Prosperity.  I am scared, worried, and don’t know what the future holds; but I do know that I am not in control, God is and with that I have faith!

     I am writing to you on this day, at this moment in our nations history in hopes that we can work together to extinguish, or at least get under control, the flames that are burning this exceptional nation from within. The leadership at the First Coast Tea Party has been pulling the engine uphill and it has become quite heavy.  We need that engine to go full speed Will you stand with me as volunteer firefighters to save these United States of America? Americans For Prosperity has both the resources and tools to "do" something right now and with the leadership and membership of the First Coast Tea Party together we can make a difference here at ground zero in Florida; Duval County.

    Shall we work to put the fires out together now so that on the morning of November 7th we can sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee, or tea, with family and friends with the knowledge that we did ALL that we could.

ITS ALL ABOUT THE VOTES.....IN THE NEWS  ...the white house has relaxed the age for people to get diability for people as young as 25 to get social security,and the numbers HAVE SKYROCKETED

.That is nice of them to give the money everyone paid into to people that never paid into it.

HOW COMPASSINATE!

ALSO MORE PEOPLE ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR FOOD STAMPS SINCE THE STANDARDS NOW HAVE BEEN RELAXED.

the obama campaign today has the motto ....we are betting on America...well he is betting with tax payer money .

This nation needs saving and investing in America.

The liberal WHITE HOUSE DOUBLES DOWN ON YOUR DOLLAR ,BECAUSE IT IS NOT THEIRS.

75% OF THE TAXES IN OBUMMERCARE COME FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS MAKING UNDER 150,00 TO 20,000.

IF THIS HAPPENS IT WILL PUT US INTO A DEPRESSION

I think what barry  is hiding is fact that he applied for all his financial aid as a forgeign student  [ admitting he was born there ] ,  which would then  be illegal , if he says he was born here.

BOTTOM LINE ,ONLY CONGRESS CAN CONTROL SPENDING AND CHANGE TAX LAW.

ALL CONGRESS HAS TO DO IS STOP [CUT] ALL SPENDING TO THE OBAMINATION HEALTH CARE BILL ,AND JUST LET IT DIE.

THE REPLUBLICANS HAVE CONTROL OF THAT SPENDING, SO  JUST SIMPLY STOP THE FUNDING .

DO NOT CREATE ANOTHER BILL TO BE STOPPED IN THE SENATE OR VETOED BY THE JACKASS.

THE REASON CONGRESS WILL NOT CUT SPENDING [ EVEN THE REPUBLICANS]  IS BECAUSE THEY WANT THE POWER AND DRAMA TO CONTINUE ,SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE NEED THEM.

WE NEED TO VOTE ALL OF THEM OUT ,ALL OF THEM ,AND START OVER !!!

WE NEED TO DEMAND TO CUT THE FUNDING NOW.

Speaking of gifting,did you hear how Hillary Clinton agreed to just give 2 billion to the United Nations for 3rd world countries FOR support with another 100 billion promised ??? as  reported only by Dick Morris on Cavuto.

Why not put that money in social security that they robbed us on.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS DESTROYED SOCIAL SECURITY,EDUCATION.THE POST OFFICE,THE BUDGET,THE ECONOMY AND THE STOCK MARKET WITH CLINTONS ELIMINATION OF GLASS-STEAGAL ACT  ,THE FINANCIAL SECTOR WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS OF  REGULATIONS BY BARNEY FRANK AND CHRIS DODD ,THAT FORCED BANKS TO IMPLEMENT 0 DOWN HOME PURCHASE  PROGRAMS AND NOW IT WANTS TO TAKE OVER HEALTH CARE.WHAT A JOKE!

I SAY NO MORE BUDGET INCREASE ,SHUT THEM DOWN AND DEMAND A BALANCE BUDGET AS THEY ARE REQUIRED REQUIRED BY LAW AND HAVE NOT DONE FOR YEARS.

We THE PEOPLE NEED TO  FILE A LAW SUIT AGAINST ALL THE MEMBERS OF PRESENT AND PAST  CONGRESSES  ,OF THE SENATE AND PRESIDENTS FROM THE LAST BALANCED BUDGET ON ,  FOR ALL THEIR ASSETS TO BE RETURED TO THE TREASURY AND TO BE CONFISCATED BY THE IRS , STOPPING ALL THIER PENSIONS AND BENEFITS NOW!!!

THAT IS WHAT THEY DO TO US WHEN WE GO UNDER,SO LETS HOLD THEM TO THE SAME STANDARDS !

Comment by LOTTO NICK ! on July 3, 2012 at 4:06pm

Well Romney is now saying the obama care is not a tax [because of his  Mass. HC PLAN ],instead of admitting that was a mistake on move on.

We have idiots running for president!!!

I believe ONE OF 2 THINGS WITH ALL THESE CROOKS IN POWER  .... Justice Roberts was threated with SOME CHICAGO STYLE DIRT ON HIM OR HIS FAMILY  [ LIKE THEY DID WITH HERMAN CAIN ],THAT WOULD BE RELEASED IF HE THREW OUT THE ENTIRE LAW AND WAS TOLD TO FIND A WAY TO PRESERVE IT  OR .........HE IS NOW IN THE LINE OF POWER FOR AN OFFICE BEHIND OBAMA,CLINTON,PELOSI,REED,ROMNEY,BUSH AND THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THE SENATE FOR THE NEW WORLD ORDER THAT WILL TAKE OVER AFTER THE DEPRESSION WE WILL HAVE NEXT YEAR.

THE CORRUPTION ,POWER AND GREED HAS SOLD OUT OUR CONSTITUTION.

THIS WILL BE OUR LAST JULY 4TH OF INDEPENDENCE!!!!

IT IS A SAD DAY IN THE US.

Just a quick comment.  If more states would start heavily pushing for "voter's eligibility" as well as fiercely fighting against "voter fraud", it's likely numbskulls like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi.  This whole bunch of crooked cronies, probably won't get voted back into office, as well as this President!  I'm pretty sure it was due to voter fraud that kept Harry where he is, and voter fraud is the reason why Obama ended up winning this election!

Ken, you forget this fake president has established presidential precedent using his executive order powers, what's the old saying--what's good for the gander is good for the goose.  Romney can now use executive orders in reverse, repeal OWEbumblercare, nominate candidates for committees WITHOUT Senate approval, open ANWAR for drilling, etc.. FORCE the DemocRATS to file legislation against him before the Supreme Court to DENY these privileges, IF the Court decides HE HAS overstepped his executive powers--the DemocRATS themselves have laid the groundwork to ABOLISH ALL OWEbumbler executive orders of a similar pattern.  WE THE PEOPLE, must FORCE Congress to provide the limitations on rogue presidents, and hold itself accountable to the people.  Chief Justice Roberts has exposed OWEbumbler and DemocRATS for the LIARS AND DECEIVERS THEY ARE, he has told America to its FACE:  IF this is the govt YOU want, you have the LEADER and the system to give it to YOU.  If not, YOURS is the responsiblity to CHANGE THE GOVT AND LEADERS in November.

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...…
