WILL YOU TAKE FIVE BABY STEPS FOR LIBERTY TODAY?

Some days I wish I could stay in bed, put the pillow over my head and sleep until a new day dawns in America. I’ve tried that but I keep waking up to a sun shining through my bedroom window and a voice saying “Get up, you have to get moving and do your part.”

Today is one of those days.

We have so much to talk about and do for our country and if we were a single focus organization, it would make it easier. We are not. We are a Liberty-focused organization and everywhere you turn our liberties are being shackled. Our leaders are laughing at us and they believe the laughter will drown out our concerns. It will not.

Since we can’t do everything in one day, let’s take these five baby steps to ACT NOW for Liberty today. It will take you no more than 15 minutes to accomplish all of this. Can you give 15 to Liberty? Here’s how:

1. High Speed Rail in Florida: A dear friend of mine in the Florida Tea Party Movement, Tom Tillison, had an encounter with Rep. Mica and it was very disturbing. In one word, Rep. Mica has told the Tea Party – “get over it, I am supporting High Speed Rail, like it or not.” You can read more about Tom’s encounter with Rep. Mica’s staff here: http://www.floridapoliticalpress.com/2011/02/16/if-the-tea-party-wa...

Action: From now until a decision is made on the Florida High Speed Rail we need Rep. Mica's phone to ring off the hook. We want his email box to overflow. This attitude with regard to the Tea Party Movement and especially toward our tax dollars cannot be tolerated. Below is his contact information. Just click on the link and then he has links to all his local offices. More than anything, call Washington and ask for Rep. Mica and if he is not available ask for Mr. Dick Harkon. Let them know exactly how you feel. The fact is this High Speed Rail may be Rep. Mica’s project, but it will be paid for with our tax dollars and we do not want it or cannot pay for it. It’s not right to continue down a “track” of spending just because it’s his baby project.
Action: Please forward this information to all of your friends across the country. Ask them if they want their tax dollars coming to Florida to build a High Speed Train that will: 1. Never go fast; 2. Never break even; 3. Never have full ridership; 4. Will always suck money from their state. Then please give them Rep. Mica's Washington D.C. information and ask them to pass it on as well.
Contact Rep. Mica here: http://mica.house.gov/Contact/OfficeInformation.htm
Action: Call Governor Scott's office in Tallahassee. Tell them you do not want the High Speed Rail in Florida. Be nice, tell them you will support him in his decision to reject the high speed rail. Just make sure they know you are supporting this decision. Also, let Governor Scott know that you appreciate the fact that he is standing firm and doing exactly what he said he was going to do during the campaign. This man is taking fire from all sides and a kind word or two is always appreciated. Three minutes one time should be enough. (850) 488-7146

2. Planned Parenthood Supported by $300,000,000 of our Tax Dollars: The big news this week is the House of Representatives is looking at cost cutting so we can begin a new path of financial security in our country. During their debates, the funding of Planned Parenthood will be debated. We have recently learned that our tax dollars were going to fund abortions. While we are a country of laws and abortion is legal in America, our tax dollars should not fund it. How you feel about abortion is one thing but using our tax dollars to fund it is another. In recent weeks, undercover videos of various Planned Parenthood offices shows their staff advising the undercover agent on how to get abortions for young girls brought in from foreign countries illegally. This is absurd and their funding needs to stop.

Action: Go to Susan B. Anthony’s website at http://capwiz.com/sbalist/issues/alert/?alertid=28266501 and use their easy Action Service to voice your concerns. This will come up for a vote in the next 12-48 hours.

3. More Spending Cuts: ACTION: Go to Liberty Central.org at https://www.libertycentral.org/update-the-continuing-resolution-and... and sign the petition to encourage our Representatives to stay the course and cut, cut, cut as they go through each amendment this week. It’s a big job – but somebody has to do it!

4. Attend this Saturday’s Special Event: ACTION: Go to First Coast Tea Party website under events and check out the program “Sacrificed Survivors: The Untold Story of the Ground Zero Mega-Mosque.” We are honored to host this special event and some of the nation’s largest experts on the Mosque at Ground Zero will be in attendance. A local survivor of 9/11 will also be with us. It’s free and educational and we hope you’ll RSVP today and bring a friend with you. We’ll be there and would love to see you there. Check it here for more information: http://www.fctpcommunity.org/events/sacrificed-survivors-the

5. Donate to your Local Tea Party. ACTION: Local Tea Parties are funded by local members and the month of February has been deemed “Love Your Local Tea Party” month. All donations are used to fund events, pay for insurance/permits, produce written materials, and pay for small administrative costs. We work cheap and no salaries are paid to any of our local leaders. It’s all free, donated work, baby! If you can help the First Coast Tea Party, please send a check to: First Coast Tea Party, 11437 Central Parkway, Suite 107, Jacksonville, Florida 32244 or you can donate online at:

http://www.fctpcommunity.org/page/donate-1

It’s all the little steps we make that will secure the big picture – Liberty in America. Help us today by taking 15 minutes and doing your part.

And, if you want to spend less than 2 minutes more, listen to this great analogy by Herman Cain about the Stupid People who are Ruining America. Watch here for a good laugh at the other side:

Comment by Sylvia Vanderels on February 16, 2011 at 11:25am: I am so impressed with Governor Scott for working hard for fiscal responsibility. Finally, a reason to get excited about supporting a political figure ! Thank you

Comment by Phyllis Riik on February 16, 2011 at 10:56am: Boy, you guys are good.

Comment by Roy Anderson on February 16, 2011 at 10:53am: Thank you Billie, for the Heads Up on the High Speed Rail.

Just now got off the phone calling Gov. Scotts office, spoke to a young lady, and gave her the message that Gov. Scott is doing an excellant job in this office, and how glad we are that he is our Governor. Also asked her to please let Gov. Scott know how much we appreciate his turning down the High Speed Rail Funding.

The Long Island Rail Road, as well as Am Track, for years now,have been getting Federal Taxpayer Money to keep them going. What makes anyone think that this one would do any better? 'Pet Projects' for these 'JOKERS' who once in Office, feel like 'Power Mongruls', and snub their noses at "We The People" who put them in office. Once in, they do not care anymore, because even if they have only One Term, they get retirerment at same pay.

Honesty is rarely found in a lot of people, seems we need to scrutinise more closely these people whom we choose. What is the word they use, when Congress or the people who run the Democrat or Republican Conventions; is it called 'Vetting" the candidate? The one thing I understand the Democrats' did not do on Obama. They just pushed him through. Now look at a 'CATASTROPHY IN PROGRESS' (a immature boy President). Goes to show you, just because it seems EVERBODY LIKES A GUY, and you go along with the croud, does not make it a good thing. I am so glad for the Tea Party; and especially all those who are doing what they do best.

Billie, we Hope and Pray, you will keep at this post; fill in the hedge; help man the watch tower, and sound the alarm, when these events transpire so quickly. You are like Our PAUL REVERE.

How much I wanted to be present last night at the Candidates Review held last night at St. Jones and Beach, but just could not go. Have my hands full taking care of my wife of 55 years.

Let me say though, I forward The tea Party Daily; The Heritage Foundation; The SBA News; and other Right Wi

Comment by Cindy Jordan on February 16, 2011 at 10:18am: Billie, we cnnot thank you enough for all your hard work. Alot of us cannot contribute as much time as we would like to the cause. But, thanks to you we can make the time we contribute count. It was so nice to call Mica's office this am and hear that thanks to Gov. Scoot the high speed rail had been shot down, and there was no further need to call. We need to continue all the calls, emails, and letters. They are having to listen now. It is all inthe numbers. That goes to show you are so right, baby steps, positive attitudes, and the power of the people being persistant. Keep up the good work. And we all need to thank Gov. Scott too.

Comment by FCTP on February 16, 2011 at 10:14am: Governor Scott just announced he would not be supporting High Speed Rail in Florida and he's sending the money back!

We just sent an email asking you to contact Governor Scott and encourage him to do this. Boy you guys work fast 'cause it passed in the email string!

So, instead go to the blog at http://www.fctpcommunity.org/profiles/blogs/will-you-take-five-baby... and see the number to call Rick Scott's office. Tell him NOW: THANK YOU FOR STANDING ON YOUR PROMISES TO BE A FISCAL CONSERVATIVE. We appreciate you!

Then call Mica's office and say - See what happens when you do the right thing and listen to those you represent.
This is great news for Florida and we should all be very proud of our new Governor.

Comment by Jim Marlier on February 16, 2011 at 10:13am: THANK YOU AND THANK YOU GOV. SCOTT. These are the fiscal traps that have ensnared state governments for too many years.

Comment by FCTP on February 16, 2011 at 10:13am: The team of tea party members who put the Speed Rating program together deserve a lot praise. The First Coast Tea Party leads the way in creativity and passion. Congrats to all who worked on this program.

Comment by Mike Austell on February 16, 2011 at 10:12am: Great job, Guv!

Comment by Carol J Johnson on February 16, 2011 at 9:57am: Billie, thank you for helping us to focus our energies where we can. With so much happening it is easy to become overwhelmed sometimes to the point of inaction. Baby steps...brilliant! Positive action...positive attitude.

Comment by Patricia M. McBride on February 16, 2011 at 9:49am: Last night was terrific Billie; absolutely over the top! I also will contact Governor Scott and am totally disappointed in Mica (totally).

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...…
