Some people are getting up and heading to work.  Others are lying in bed and wishing they could.  Those heading to work are wondering how long before they are lying in bed and wishing they had a job.

 

Unemployment numbers are up and our foolish President believes raising taxes “on the rich” and continued out of control spending by himself and his cronies is the answer to getting those lying in bed back to work.   He is wrong.  He is ill-advised.  He is unwise.  And…he is leading us down a dangerous path and the American people are tired of following him.  That’s a path he can now go alone.

 

I probably sound a little on the bitter side this morning and I apologize for that.  Because we are the leaders of our local tea party group, we hear a lot of personal stories about this economy.  You see, we are on the front lines of this economy and many of our friends are taking the hits for the poor decisions being made in DC.  Daily another one bites the dust either through losing their job, closing their business, running out of savings to keep them afloat, or undergoing marital discourse because of the stress. 

 

The economy has created war and we are the troops.  Our “generals” in DC are sitting in their offices with their minds oblivious to the hurting soldiers.  They are not giving us the cover we need to protect ourselves.  The cover is simple: 

  • Stop spending
  • Shut down departments we don’t need (EPA, Department of Education to name a few)
  • Stop the strangulation caused by regulation
  • Leave the marketplace free from government intervention so we can thrive again and create jobs!
  • Stop passing Executive orders that take away our ability to feed ourselves or take our land from us
  • Stop passing treaties that put us in harm’s way
  • Stop giving guns to our enemies so they can shoot our citizens. 

I could go on and on with a list that would scare the “you-know-what” out of you but that list is enough for Monday morning.

 

This isn’t just a crazy tea party leader writing like this.  Take a look at today’s Wall Street Journal here:  Wall Street Journal

 

Or this one from Friday’s Morning Bell Report from Heritage:  Economy in Panic

 

The situation is dire and the troops are weary.  They are weary in Iraq, Afghanistan and America and the time for leadership is now.

 

The leaders in DC are far and few between but our very own Florida Senator Marco Rubio got it right this past week when he told Obama we need New Taxpayers, not new taxes

 

Over the weekend, John Boehner didn’t cave to Obama over the tax increase for the “wealthy” either.  Obama demonizes all aspects of our society and taking on the “rich” who employ people and create jobs is not going to hack it with the GOP (we hope).  In today’s Washington Examiner, Boehner promises No Caving

 

It’s one thing to play around with our economy and put us in financial distress.  It’s another thing to hand guns to our enemies resulting in American citizens killed with them.  Check this out at:  Fast and Furious Gun Runner Issue

 

So what can you do to help your friends at the frontlines?  You can call Congress and tell them this:

  1.  Thank you for Saying No to Raising the Debt Ceiling or Raising our Taxes:

 

  1.  Thank you for investigating the Fast & Furious Issue.  Please stay the course and take down all who had anything to do with this – including the Justice Department!

While you are making your calls or emails, consider asking this question too:  “What will it take for us to hear the word “impeach?”  Ask them to let you know because the troops on the frontline can’t understand how we can let our President overstep his boundaries and destroy our country right before our eyes. 

 

Monday mornings are always tough but future Monday mornings will not be bright unless we take action for our fellowmen on the frontlines.  If you know someone who is hurting from this economic disaster, consider putting a $20 bill in an envelope and mail it to them today.  Don’t let them know you sent it because it makes it more fun that way.  (If you don't have anyone who you can send the $20 bill to - let us know and we'll give you a couple.)  You’ll make their day and give them hope for a brighter tomorrow.

 

God bless you my friends out there in America.  We’ve got your back and we'll do all we can to give you cover!

Billie:   I was awake and did see the posted front page on our website and am signed up for the Meeting at my favorite eat - out  Angies on 1436 Beach blvd on the 20th at 6:00PM and have even read Lorie's Book "Community Organizing for Conservatives".    By the way,  her book is only $1.95 on Amazon using your Kindle(made by Apple).    Some day,  maybe we can get the "wagthedog2010.com" or "ThePrecinctProject.wordpress.com" on the Kindle also.  Makes for great informative reading that sort of helps one focus on the real and significant issues and strategies.

Tom:  You must have been asleep when we posted on the front page of our website The Poll Project.  Please go there and see what we are up to.  We are DOING something and not just talking.

If you really want to be involved in political change,  check out these websites.

Our best bet is to reinvent the Duval Republican Party by controlling the:

1.   vast majority if not all of the local precincts.   That involves going to the Republican Party meetings and getting involved.   Real involvement  -  

2.  Signing up to be the Precinct committeeman/women in your own Precinct.

Don't be fooled.    Our problem is not Federal spending,  higher taxes, incompetent elected officials, or national security.   It is and will continue to be  the fact that we have not organized our forces to select and elect politicians that will vote for and support the tenents of our Constitutional Republic.  Instead of bitching, Join the The Florida Precinct Project.    It is the only guaranteed program that will end the take over of this country by the Left, Radical Islam, and career RINOS that have infested the Republican Party and of course the Democratic Party.      In order to be a successful patriot, you will have to become involved in  learning and acting upon the basics of polititcal Power.   Everything else is a waste of time and effort and diffuses the efforts of Patriots.

Congress likes it this way, they escape most of the blame. After all, many of them have life long careers at stake, unless they wave their weiner in public!

First of all, and foremost, I want everyone who reads this
to go to this web site,
http://www.usa.gov/Agencies/Federal/Executive.shtml#Executive_Depar... .

Now, understand there are 15, that's right FIFTEEN different
departments under the Excutive Branch. And, right now I can't tell you how many
sub, sub, sub, sub departments/offices under each one of those. But right now
just concern yourself with the fifteen. I ask you to look them over and ask
yourself how many of these fifteen would you, or could you, do away with.
That's right, just how many of these fifteen are actually authorized in the
U.S. Constitution? I personally count three. That's right 3. State Department,
Treasury Department, and Department of Defense. And two of these, Treasury and
Defense, should be under the direct control of Congress, not the President. In
fact as far as I'm concerned, all three should be under direct control of
Congress, not the President. The President is a figure head for the country.
Not the leader!  Especially this one. He/She has no power, but
what we, by way of Congress, gives that person. Right now that person, and
others, have done just about anything they've wanted. They have TAKEN power.
And all the other twelve, as departments, do not enhance our lives one bit. In
fact they make our lives miserable. Congress can make laws, as regulations, for
commerce, agriculture, energy, etc, etc. etc. under U.S. Title Codes. In fact a
book could be made for each area of concern. And, as things change in the
country, laws on a subject could change. The change would be made in the book
year to year. A small staff for each area, made up of career government
employees, could make recommendations, and would be controlled by Congress. This way "We The People" are back in control of the whole thing.

Think about it, "We The People" back in control of our government, and our country. WOW, what a concept!!!

Obama will skate through almost anything for one simple reason, at the first sign of impending impeachment the inner cities will explode.

Who will have to courage to do what is legal and right for the Nation?  Courage is what it all boils down to.

Eligibility is a hot potato, New Black Panther voter intimidation is another, and now there is Gunwalker, the list seems endless .

We need leaders who won't be intimidated, but they seem to be few and far between.

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...…
