Andrew Jackson’s statue was just moved to a new spot in downtown Jacksonville. His statue sat on a lonely side road near the river for many years and just recently he was moved to a new, costly roundabout. (Debate here about why we spent money like that during times like these but that’s another…

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS - 10/12/10…

Friday afternoon I decided to catch the new movie "Secretariat". It was terrific movie. I found it to be inspirational and well done by Disney. Well what I am seeing now is a slew of reviews from the lame stream media bashing this movie. Rush Limbaugh even commented on his radio show yesterday and posted a link on his website from a review from Salon.com calling this movie a "Tea Party" movie and basically slammed it.

I don't want to give away the storyline but this movie describes a…

This goes well beyond acceptable and each and every person involved should be held accountable for this misuse of power and taxpayer funded government agencies to unleash a personal vendetta against those who have criticized them.

Yesterday Meg Whitman, candidate for Governor of California, received a huge sucker punch from her opponent, Jerry Brown. He called her a dirty name that rhymes with “bore” (like him) and starts with a “w.” You would think the women would rally…

This Tuesday night is the next City Council Meeting. We will not have 200 people show up this week yet we do encourage you to attend as many council meetings as possible.

Get involved and show up wearing your t-shirts -- "Don't Raise My Taxes." Sit as close to the front as possible and remind them that we are still not happy with their votes. You can review the agenda at…

Like the Japanese, many in America don't get it either.

I emailed a US Representative candidate to fill in some blanks spots in my research. One of the blank spots was "The Tea Party Movement". The

meat of his reply: "... I have been told by a Tea Party member that is

part of the R(epublican)E(executive)C(ommittee); the Tea Party is just the new

face of the Republican Party. Being an Independent,…

Yesterday I was interviewed by a television crew from Japan. How the heck did that happen? Some days I wonder what happened to life as I knew it since September 2008. The day we bailed out banks turned many Americans’ lives inside…

Don’t you wish you could be a fly on the wall in the bedroom of those who put America into this terrible mess? Wouldn’t it be nice to see them toss and turn and lose sleep over their jobs in DC.

We’ve been tossing and turning over their poor decisions so it’s about time they lost some sleep too.

We are 24 days away from booting these people out of the seats of Congress and we cannot let up the pressure…

We received the following Thank You from Bill Bishop, a member of the City Council. We wanted to share this with you since you are the ones who made the effort to show up and voice your concerns. The next City Council Meeting is NEXT TUESDAY, Oct 12 at 5:00 p.m. Please contact your City Council Member between now and then and ask him/her what is on the agenda and listen intently to…

Last week the First Coast Tea Party had its first Annual Fundraiser. (Notice I said first because we plan to be here a while and have one a year for many years to come!)

Ginni Thomas was our first Fundraising Speaker. She has been a supporter of the Tea Party Movement and has been an encourager of my own citizen activism since I met her in January of this year.

We work with her and her team at Liberty Central every day as we fight together to Restore the…
