What's next: how to win

May 3, 2009

Many in the Tea Party movement specifically do not see themselves as Republicans. These comments may partly sum it up: Many conservatives are quite disillusioned with the Republican Party at this time…but we do all need to get together, and that will have to include the GOP listening to us and not being swayed...

Tax Bites

May 2, 2009

One of our goals as a grassroots movement must be to find and share ways to explain our ideas in understandable ways.

9/12 Million Signature Petition

May 2, 2009

Climate Change: Separating Fact from Fiction

April 29, 2009

One of the main assertions being used to justify proposals for economy-crippling legislation is that man-made greenhouse gases are responsible for a drastic and unprecedented warming of the earth’s atmosphere. Last night on the A&M campus Christopher Lord Monckton, Nobel Peace Laureate and former policy advisor to Margaret Thatcher, showed this to be a...

April 15, 2009

The next post will be titled: “What is Next.” But right now I must thank everyone who came and participated today! When I started organizing a Tea Party a few weeks ago, my hope was to be part of a grassroots movement that would engage as many people as possible. The intent was to...

Parking and traffic suggestions

April 15, 2009

(Note: please see the information on the Event page regarding potential disruptors to this event, and/or download the flyer ). My original hope 2 1/2 weeks ago when I thought of trying to start a Tea Party here was to have as many as 120 people attend. Now, it looks like this number could...

DON’T BORROW, SPEND, AND TAX AWAY OUR FUTURE

April 13, 2009

The Heritage Foundation consolidated this list of why we are organizing Tea Parties all across the nation. Use these facts to spur your fertile American entrepreneurial spirit and make a sign to let Washington know what you think! The President’s Plan Blames Bush: President Obama correctly points out that he inherited a projected $1.2...

The insanity, graphically

April 12, 2009

The Washington Post published this graph visually representing the drunken-sailor-on-crack spending being proposed by this administration and enabled by Congress. The Heritage Foundation has some good insight into this. *Sigh*

Socially Liberal, Fiscally Conservative = LIBERAL

April 11, 2009

Author Mark Steyn has a great way of explaining why the problems that we have exist, and what can be done to fix them. Here’s a sample, from National Review Online: …the reality is that almost every “socially liberal, fiscally conservative” politician turns out to be fiscally liberal — in the same way that,...

A 25-Year Economic History

April 10, 2009

Investor’s Business Daily ran a great article Thursday: “Reagan’s Legacy: Our 25-Year Boom.” Great perspective, from a reminder of President Carter’s economic mess to its amplified and unfettered redux today. Some quotes: Americans had been told for years — as they’re now being told again — to expect diminished standards of living. Then they...

What About A Morning Cuppa??

April 9, 2009

NOTE: I AM SO SORRY BUT I THINK WE MUST CANCEL THIS MORNING MEETING! I didn’t realize his office had moved to a bank building, and I definitely do not want to disrupt other people while protesting him. I am so sorry! But please, do come to the evening rally! Last night, a comment...

Some possibly relevant quotes

April 8, 2009

The same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. John F. Kennedy Inaugural...

Cap & Trade Is A $3,000 Tax on Every American

April 8, 2009
