Save the dates! Upcoming events

[Leanne King]

   Prior to getting to the five (5) events below I would like to ask all members of the FCTP to consider hitting the streets with you own posters related to the latest IRS scandal and the Benghazi cover up.

   Your messages are your own and need to be shared with the general public. Grab a neighbor, a friend, or a fellow patriot and stand on a busy street corner or even your own street. This is a way to have our voices heard all over town. If you can do this during rush hour one day a week or five days a week pick up your sign, step outside your comfort zone and make a statement.

 The following events will provide us will critical knowledge as we move ahead in our battles to save America..

May 17th

The following message is from Sandy McCorvey the Director of "Let Freedom Sing" from the FCTP

1.Dear friends,

Just wanted to let you know that our choral group is going to be on the First Coast Living TV show this Friday, May 17, sometime between 11:00 and 12:00 noon. Some more of our music will also be included in their Memorial Day program on Monday, May 27. If you are a Jax resident, this is the local NBC station, Channel 12, and you can watch it live or record it on your DVR and watch it later, or whether you are in town or anywhere else in the country, you can watch it streaming live on the Internet by going to www.firstcoastnews.com/firstcoastliving/ If you still miss it during that time, you can go to the same link on the Internet later that day or any day for the next few weeks following the show(s) and click on the program segment from that date to see them.

Wish us luck! We're very excited to share America's music with such a big audience!

Singing our National Anthem at the Jacksonville Suns baseball game last Saturday night was just amazing. What an incredible month this is for this wonderful group of singing patriots!

 Ralph Reed in Jacksonville May 20th!

4. FCTP members are invited to hear Ralph Reed on Monday, May 20th at 2:30 PM at New Covenant Ministries. New Covenant Ministries is located at  2360 St Johns Bluff Road South in Jacksonville, approximately 1-1/2 miles south of Atlantic Blvd.

 Reed is one of the most recognizable and effective conservative leaders on the national stage, the former executive director of the Christian Coalition and a best selling author whose work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal and in National Review.

 

A Message from Ralph Reed:

 Dear FCTP Friend:

 The Faith and Freedom Coalition believes the greatness of America lies in the character of our people — the simple virtues of faith, hard work, marriage, family, personal responsibility, and helping the least among us.

 If we lose sight of these values, America will cease to be great.

 Never before has it been more critical for us to speak out for these values. That’s why the Faith and Freedom Coalition is committed to educating, equipping, and mobilizing people of faith and like-minded individuals to be effective citizens.

 Together we will influence public policy and enact legislation that strengthens families, promotes time-honored values, protects the dignity of life and marriage, lowers the tax burden on small business and families, and requires government to tighten its belt and live within its means.

  Ralph Reed

 

May 27th

The First Coast Tea Party presents a military wreath at the Veterans Memorial Wall

5. The City of Jacksonville and the Military Affairs, Veterans and Disabled Services Department will honor those who served our great nation at the Veterans Memorial Wall.

Pre-ceremony Music will be provided by Phil Stacey and Navy Band Southeast. Parking is free in the west lots of Everbank Field.

As in years past the First Coast Tea Party will present a Wreath . We can all meet in the bleaches if you are looking at the Wall it will be on the left side of the bleachers about half way up. Please be there prior to 8:30 a.m. as it fills up fast.

This is a very well done Memorial Day Observance. If you have any questions please call Pat Welch 465 1482 .

Education,strategy and ACTION are the keys to our success. If you do not already belong to a community group in your area I urge to join and attend. (See Events tab to find a group near you.) If you are not involved with one of our Action Teams I encourage to you join.Bring your knowledge and experience to the table and make a difference. (See Groups under the Volunteer tab).

Some think that there are many of us working behind the scene and that all our problems will be solved because the FCTP is alive.. That is not true. The FCTP is YOU and any success depends on the involvement of the people. Our work is limited if you are not involved and making a difference.

God Bless you and God Bless our America.
