While Standard and Poor’s kept our attention about America’s credit downgrade, Obama played other maneuvers that will affect your life. Here are just a few. There are many more!
Gun Rights – NRA President, Wayne LaPierre, announces an all out fight with the Obama Administration. He said, “If they want to fight with the NRA, then bring it on.” He doesn’t hold back as he speaks to the issue of the US firearms ending up with drug cartels in Mexico. This is shocking and outrageous. Watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgo9iIH45RA
Food and Land Takeover — The President created the White House Rural council to make sure we are working across Government entities (?) to ensure economic growth. Homeland Security, Justice Department and Treasury Department will be involved in promoting our food and land use. Why? President Regan talked about this and warned us about the very thing Obama is doing. This is another way for the government to tell us what to do with our land. Watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_juUVKKBw-k
Bashing the rich – This is an oldie but goodie and proves this issue has always been around and the left resurrects it when they need it. Watch Milton Friedman, world-class economist teach a liberal woman the truth about “rich people.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi-D24oCa10&feature=player_embedded
As a SEAL I spit on you – “Even if we were friends and you called me a terrorist you would be expected to explain your actions and your beef with me or we would have to settle this like men. I respect your positions of office and would still call you sir and ma’am, but beyond that I spit on you! As a citizen, I spit on you. As a SEAL, I spit on you. As an American, I spit on the very thought of your Communist tactics.” Read this heartfelt article by a SEAL and Tea Party Member: http://biggovernment.com/bsmith/2011/08/06/bidenpelosi-if-im-satan-what-does-that-make-you/
So what can you do about this out of control government?
Locally – attend a tea party meeting and join forces with moms, dads, business owners, high school graduates, college graduates, and yes, Navy SEALS who are just as upset as you. To find out what’s happening in North Florida at the First Coast Tea Party, go here: http://www.fctpcommunity.org/events
Nationally – Contact your Representative at www.congress.gov and tell them to get back to DC now and fix this mess! Hold Obama accountable and do their jobs. See what the Wall Street Journal said today about an emergency hearing. This is not the time for vacations; it’s time for serious leadership. Are they serious? Read it here: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/aug/6/obamas-downgraded-america/
Rural Council – Sign the Petition now: Stop Obama’s Rural Council
NRA Lawsuit – Join the NRA and support this lawsuit against Obama Join the NRA here
Bashing the Rich – Thank your boss tomorrow for your job or support a local business establishment and tell them you appreciate them.

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:
2. 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. 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 bring you as much cover as we can!

“TX Patriots- Your signatures needed ASAP to get Sheriff Mack to speak” at the upcoming 2010 Texas Sheriff Conference.
Sheriff Mack fought and won a Supreme Court Case that countered an overarching, unconstitutional reach of the federal government. His case overturned the Brady Bill. We’d like Sheriff Mack to speak and encourage other Texas Sheriffs in their role as defenders of the U.S. Constitution.
Sheriff Mack would come to the upcoming 2010 Texas Sheriff Conference but we need signatures (fast) to encourage the conference agenda setters to add him to the speaking agenda.
Would you please take a moment to help by signing and sharing this petition with others?
http://www.petitiononline.com/Sheriff/petition.html
While his winning case at the Supreme Court was triggered by the unconstitutional Brady Bill, the ruling covers Government Controlled “Health Care”, Cap and Trade, and almost every battle we will deal with this year and beyond.
Sheriff Mack’s success in the Supreme Court Decision was that: The Federal Government may not compel the States to enact or administer a federal regulatory program.”
