Hello Tea Party…

I am writing to you of a very serious nature. First allow me to share with you an anecdote from this morning while driving to school with my 11-year-old son. He said to me, “dad, did you make a copy of the Declaration of Independence for the Tea Party.” I answered him that yes indeed a couple guys had one made for the Tea Party. So he drops this shocker on me when he tells me,  “I was reading in the Declaration of Independence with my class and I saw something in there that said we are allowed to change out our government if we thought that the government was doing bad things to the people.” I asked him if his teacher taught him that and he answered, No she didn’t, I just read it in there and thought of it.” I was shocked. My 11-year-old son could read something so deep and yet so simple and understand what was truly happening in our nation right now. So without me asking him he says, “wait a minute before you drop me off dad and I will find the part where it says this.” I waited and sure enough he found the part in his history book which has a reprint of the declaration of Independence and read it to me. I was so proud of this little 11-year-old patriot, my son.

That brings me to the serious nature of this email. We are not in humorous times folks and we need to begin making a difference. We urgently need SOBRIETY. I fear we have come to a place where we feel like we fired off a few volleys of free speech and subsequently feel like the opponents to our republic fled in fear.  THEY HAVE NOT AND THEY ARE STILL HERE. I recently received an email from a fellow patriot whose frustration spilled out on the page in all Capital Letters. She told me, “YOU ARE PREACHING TO THE CHIOR.” I did not reply but pondered her statement and the rest of her words. I must say thanks Sharon B for the wake up. I have actually been awake and every cell in my being on fire with passion for this nation to make a true and lasting change for a future, yet through my 20 year struggle in this arena, I have come to recognize that we have let it slide so far down that slippery slope that we are almost at the bottom of that mud clad hillside. Through this Tea Party my effort and the effort of a number of leaders with whom I have counted on have been minimally effective in shaping a larger community and compelling it to action. Yes I am speaking to the Choir and right now even the Choir is not singing and is not together.

I write this letter in the hopes of compelling you to action not using shame or guilt as motivation but appealing to your sense of duty of which each one of us as American Citizens have a binding contract to obey and exercise. It is our duty as citizens of this nation to save it from the course of demise that we are truly on. It would be nice to keep our heads tucked in like turtles and hope to God that it passes and hope to God that the BEAR that is trying to savage us for dinner gets tired of our hard shell and goes away. The BEAR will not go away, and we are not turtles. We are Eagles, and we must make an effort to halt the demise of our Republic. That means numbers. It comes down to less than 1000 officials controlling the entire course of this nation of 300 million people. They reside in Washington DC, and we stupidly put them there. Yes I said it. Stupidly. We are not stupid though, and we can and must change out this elected body of criminals. Yes I said it. Criminals. I cannot do it alone. I am one person. It can only be done with a true revolution and upheaval at the polls by all of us. YOU AND ME. Absent that we are nothing more than a petty banana republic if we attempt to change our nation through some violent bloody coup. I cannot call that an option. Might that happen? Yes. And I dread the day anything like that ever happens.

I truly believe that we can change it at the polls. We MUST CHANGE IT AT THE POLLS. If we are to change this nation at the polls we need warriors willing to sound this alarm enlist people who will go to the polls and vote. This coming primary is the most critical primary in the history of our Republic, because never before have we had such critical issues facing our Republic and sovereignty. The mere fact that Barack Obama plans to sign off on the Treaty of Copenhagen in December should be enough to fire up every patriots blood that they will massively go into the polling booth and throw out every official in Washington who dares agree with that treaty. Need I mention Cap and Trade, Trillion Dollar Bailouts, Healthcare Takeover and the many other serious and significantly damaging decisions that have been made in the past nine months. And of course I do not need to remind any of you how far we have tumbled down that mud stained hill over the past nine months, the past 30 years. Here is what I am asking you do do…please.

Though I believe that the Republican Party has Betrayed this Nation over the last 10 years I am putting aside my disdain for the Republican party. My disdain for people like Susan Collins, Olympia Snow and Mark Kirk whom I hope are voted out as soon as is humanly possible. I am asking you to put aside your disdain for the republican party and massively vote for the most fiscally responsible Senate, Gubernatorial, Congressional candidates and all of the rest of the candidates in the PRIMARY.  I am afraid I cannot report anything good at this time about the current Party in Power…the Democrats. We can and must incrementally flush this Communist Leaning Government out by first putting a party into power filled with Responsible Representatives and as we PROGRESS to a fiscally responsible government and see that power of our success we can repeat this effort in 2012 and then again in 2014 and then again in 2016. Right now the Republican Party still has some responsible representatives in office. Joe Wilson who told Obama he was lying comes to mind. If you look at the shades of blue we can change the shades of that blue from the deep blue that we are now in to a light blue and then flip it all over to the RED. Our nation must move to the RED. Being in the Red means being financially solvent once again.

Folks the only other option if you want change is a violent bloody uprising, and that my friends is not an option for me, and hopefully not for you. Yes it will massively change things right away, but the cost to our nation would be OUR NATION. We are in a completely different circumstance than our Patriot Founders. We would no longer have a nation, and we would be left open to invasion, vulnerable to invasion from all those powers that know that they can park themselves 12 miles off the cost and wait for us to butcher one another, and then they can come in an wipe up the leftover chaos. Violent Bloody Revolution is not an option folks. It is spoken of by too many people as if some Secret Force were waiting or some Cavalry were coming to sweep out the current crop of Criminals in Washington DC and then rightly divide the already divided nation on the left and right.

Remember this, those who support the current crop of criminals in Washington DC also have guns, and they will defend their GAINS with their lives no matter how peaceful they want to portray themselves. They have made enormous gains in the areas of Abortion, Redistribution of Wealth through punitive taxation, Homosexual Rights, Godless Public Arena, Illegal Immigration, Feeding the Welfare State, The Destruction of Small Business America through Corrupt Unions and unreasonable regulations that favor large Corporate Interests, The Corruption of American Education by Corrupt Teacher Unions, Control of America’s Institutions of Higher Learning with Ideologically Communist Professors, Judicial Malfeasance and Judicial Legislation based upon Precedent Law, Control of the News Media. And the list could go on. In all of these areas we the Fiscally Responsible, Limited Government, Limited Taxation, God Honoring, Freedom in Education, Pro-Life and Pro-Legal Immigration American Patriots have lost significant ground. There truly is a division between the two sides. WE ARE AT A FATAL POINT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR REPUBLIC.

WE MUST STAND TOGETHER AT THE POLLS. We cannot divide our votes this time folks. There are good parties out there YES. The Libertarians, the Constitutionalists. But we don’t have the time to reach enough people to compel them to vote for the highly qualified candidates in those parties, however we do have time to begin voting for those highly qualified candidates in the 2010 elections, and I am asking all to put aside their righteous hatred for the Republican Party and vote for the right candidates in the PRIMARIES which will give us qualified people for the general elections. We CAN get Libertarians and Constitutional Party Candidates into office in the 2012 Elections. Right Now we must stop this hemorrhaging. We are traumatically bleeding out folks and having a heart attack at the same time. We must Stop the bleeding because if we have no blood left we have no life left. Once we stop the bleeding we can get the heart working again. We need people to step up and start taking ownership of our Republic, and who will step up and take ownership of the Tea Party here in Rockford. People who will be relentless and radically on fire to make a change who believe in this vision that we can only do it at the polls. If we don’t have any takers in the next few days I will conclude that Rockford is lost and the Tea Party will be done. RockfordTeaParty needs patriots with Initiative. People who will lead groups in their homes twice a month to show videos to their neighbors, their friends, their family. You’ll have to buy the video. I will send out recommendations for videos. Then you will have to lead discussions with the purpose in mind to compel people to get out to the polls and vote. RockfordTeaParty needs people willing to call into the radio stations both 1330 WNTA and 1440 WROK to share their concerns and their solutions. RockfordTeaParty needs people willing to step up and write to the Register Star and the Rock River Times both of which are part of the problem but can be reasoned with through letters to the editor. RockfordTeaParty needs people willing to step out and protest. We will have protests soon, and it may come down to us facing arrest for PEACEFUL NON-VIOENT sit ins outside of Representatives offices and Media Offices. I am asking you to declare your own level of commitment. Your comfort level, but I am asking you to

We can and must save our country. There is no one else. There is no one to come to our rescue. We are the First Responders, the Cavalry. My Patriot Son taught me a lesson this morning. The Declaration is Alive and he is the proof and he now knows what our founders knew. It happened by a simply child-like reading of our Founding Document. The truth has been passed down to the next generation, and that truth will burn like a passionate fire in his heart the rest of his life. We cannot let him down. He told me that we have the right change out our government not because he thinks he can do it alone, but because he is counting on me and you to do it now. Are you willing to Participate in the Life of Your Nation? Please join me, please allow me to join you in Participating in the Life of Our Nation Together.

I look forward to hearing from every one of the 250 people on this email list. At the very least please forward this message to everyone on your email lists or in your contact list and ask them to also froward it on.

God Bless You all…
