We did not give them permission for what they are doing!<br /><br />We see our liberties being jeopardized with the biggest 'big government' policies of central control, out of control spending, smothering and dictating to us rather than listening to us or working for us. We are being dragged, down The Road to Serfdom<br /><br />We believe politicians of both parties have forgotten that they have sworn to uphold, preserve and protect our Constitution, and not to stretch its meaning to steal our God given rights.<br /><br />We believe ourselves, our families our neighborhoods and communities, know far better what we need, and how to live than any far away government official does.<br /><br />This blog is about the minority of the individual, standing up and regaining his voice.<br /><br />We cannot allow ourselves to be excluded from the affairs of our government. We are not puppets to be controlled from afar!<br /><br />We believe that all political power is local and we can share ideas, organize, identify leaders, and retake our power back from those whom have proven they abuse power and can not be trusted to represent us any longer!<br /><br />We also believe in America. We have much to inspire us- and our traditions are not “outmoded ideas”, they are refined celebrations of success, lessons learned through struggle and the human desire to undertake endeavors to discover, explore, and create.<br /><br />BTW Alan- of course Warning Signs is listed on blogroll!<br /><br />You will see by my list of resources and links that that tea party movement is <B>huge</B>, bottom up and there is no such thing as an official site for it, even for just the July 4th events!libertyforusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08584974436761909593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-52478519223893834482009-05-23T18:10:45.227-07:002009-05-23T18:10:45.227-07:00Amen to that Brian!Amen to that Brian!Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-15250852228911220192009-05-23T18:07:43.158-07:002009-05-23T18:07:43.158-07:00I just dream of the day when I don't hear about Hi...I just dream of the day when I don't hear about Hillary, or Jane Lubchenco, or Pelosi, or Boxer, or Harry Reid, or Waxman, or Ed Markey, or Napolitano, or Barack, or Al Gore, or John Holdren, or Steven Chu again for the rest of my life.Brian G Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523059818774910427noreply@blogger.com
