Hello Tea Party…

So lets get started on a plan to move beyond the tea party and into
significant change. The ultimate goal of the RockfordTeaParty is true
change. Change at the ballot box. Our Legislative Coordinator Jessica
McGowan has drafted a superb letter which will be sent to out elected
officials that describes exactly what needs to happen in order for
them to be endorsed by the RockfordTeaParty.

Real Change is only going to happen with a vibrant and active
electorate. This vibrant and active electorate must be highly
educated. That sounds like a lot of work, but it is not. The pieces of
the puzzle are already in place. It is up to you to come and view it.
Tim and Linda Thomas who have been extremely committed to this cause
are already out educating people locally about the constitution and
the real freedom it provides We the People. Their home is open on
select nights for an educational series that they have been teaching
on the Constitution with the aid of Constitutional Scholar Michael
Badnarik. Contact them at: ilteaparty@gmail.com to set up a time when
you can attend their meetings regarding this important educational
series. This is not the 5th grade Constitution you got from your
overworked and underpaid grade school teacher. This is easy to
understand life giving liberty information.

And then there is Rogene Hamilton a true tireless warrior who is
putting her heart and soul into the Continental Congress. She will be
speaking at the Tea Party meeting on this Thursday night. This
tireless patriot is a delegate to the Continental Congress who are
exercising their First amendment rights to Redress Grievances to the
United States Government. She can be contacted at: crs@mchsi.com.
Rogene’s effort is perhaps one of the most exciting behind the scenes
quiet movements that is making an impact. Their movement grows only
with committed Americans who really want to make a change in the
current regime’s trajectory.

These are people right here in Rockford that are committed to making
changes to our nation that truly matter. We don’t have to go far to
meet these people. We don’t have to go far to make a connection with
them. All we have to do is let them know we are interested and they
will do the rest. Let them know we want to help, to participate
someway and they will give you the next step.

As we become increasingly educated in this process we will be able to
significantly target the 2010 Elections. We have a left wing, liberal
tax and spend democrat running for the seat Barack Obama vacated when
he became President. Roland Burris and Alexi Gunulius are both as far
left as it gets and are both knocking down and dragging out their
fight for that seat while a fiscally conservative limited government
candidate has yet to emerge. Sorry folks we won’t find one of those
among the democrats. If we as the RockfordTeaParty are going to make a
change then we must be actively pursuing it. We must vote out of
office those people who will maintain the current course of this
current fiscally irresponsible regime.

Guess what…when we get that unifying idea we will get a lot of the
side effects to, such as tackling the illegal immigration problem, the
abortion problem, the gay marriage problem. We want to attack all
those issues, but the big 800 pound gorilla is the out of control
government we must shrink. We can only do that effectively by standing
in the gap. I am reminded of an incredible moment in the movie Troy
when Achilles (played by Bradd Pitt) the bad boy warrior of the Greeks
just finishes off an opponent and stands before the entire Army of the
warrior whom he had just finished off and asked them this question: Is
there no one else? Is there no one else? His body tense and muscles
rippling and blood splattered all over his face with Javelin and
shield in hand and with a look of pity he turned and walked away when
all of that Army fell silent. I feel like Barack Obama finished off
our best warrior and stands before all of us now asking that same
question with a look of pity on his face. Is there no one else? Is
there no one else? Even if the sound of our voice is that of a Church
Mouse we are saying, “Yes there is. There is someone else. There is
us.”

Come to the RockfordTeaPArty. Participate in the life of your nation.
