Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
Why We Vote / Why We Fight
We have reached a point in our nation’s history where everything we cherish, value and stand for is on the line. We either protect it or it will be taken from us. It is that simple.
Over 70 years ago, one of the most talented movie directors in Hollywood, Frank Capra (“Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” “It’s a Wonderful Life”), produced a series of films to educate, motivate and rally all Americans during another conflict for national survival. Entitled “Why We Fight,” it defined the enemy, the might of good, the darkness of evil, and the supreme reasons for achieving nothing less than total victory. It was an amazing message from a Hollywood that now seems to be more aligned with the very forces that oppose us today.
That means we are our on our own. It’s just us. And while it is a different form of struggle, it is still a war for our country’s survival just the same. Does it really come down to this? After seeing the greatness of what this nation once was, after inheriting what our ancestors achieved, did anyone see it reaching this unthinkable critical point? You know the issues. You know what is occurring all around you and your family. You took an interest in the TEA Party because you see it – and it will only get worse.
Thomas Jefferson said that we all occupy the “noble office of citizen.” It is not only our right but, more importantly, it is our responsibility. Our parents and grandparents made their stand in their war of national survival knowing why they fought. The Founding Fathers and those who fought before us all counted on us to pick up where they left off. This is why YOU and YOUR VOTE matter. You make the difference! You are one of us and we are counting on you just much as you count on others to do the same. You know the issues. You know what is at stake. This is why we vote. This is why we fight.

Rick Scott may have not stood against Common Core as we would have liked, but I voted for him. I'd rather have Rick Scott in there who has done much more for Florida than Charlie Crist. Crist would definitely be bad for Florida and if people don't get out there and vote for Scott, we may just have an Obama lover as governor of Florida.

Patty,
In my personal experience with Scott he is a liar and will blow you off in a second.

The war has been lost. There only remains a few skirmishes here and there. A few holdouts not willing to succumb.

If every one of us brings one more person to the realization that we are in fact engaged in a war of ideas that we cannot and must not lose, and gets that person to vote as a patriotic American rather than a self-centered narcissist always riding in a wagon pulled by others, we will not fail.

Great message Stephen! Thanks for your thoughtful reminder of where we are at this time in our country's history. It is "our duty!" Seize the opportunities to educate yourself on the ballot issues and candidates. Share information with friends and family and encourage one and all to vote and vote responsibly. If not now...............when???

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...…
