From the Waco Tea Party - Read This!!!!!

I recieved this email from a supporter of the Waco Tea Party and am posting it to inform the community as to the upcoming protest at Waco Dodge on June 2nd.  Please read this and come out and support the Waco Tea Party and the Community.

Here is the real reason the Tea Party Patriots are going to be holding a protest demonstration at Waco Dodge next Tuesday, June 2, at 3:00 P. M. My comments that follow are not solicited nor am I an official spokesperson for the Tea Party Patriots. I am a private citizen sharing the information that all Americans need to know about the Chrysler bankruptcy and the Obama administration: 

 

Our country has never before experienced this type of excessive governmental intervention into private business. After an $8 Billion bailout of taxpayers' dollars that will never be repaid, the present administration has forced Chrysler into bankruptcy. So much for limited government –

 

The people who have the most senior claims at Chrysler have effectively been pushed aside so that the Union members will recoup most of the monies owed. Could this be a payoff for their staunch backing of Obama for President?

 

How were the Chrysler dealerships chosen for closure? Information is surfacing that indicates the Obama administration dictated to Chrysler which dealerships to close; and coincidentally, most of these were owned by dealers who contributed to candidates other than Obama. One Chrysler employee complained:

 

“First, this isn't just Chrysler's decision. They were forced into bankruptcy by President Obama. When Chrysler emerges from bankruptcy the Federal Government will be a junior partner in the new Chrysler…My dealership is in the top 125 out of the 3500 plus dealerships nationwide...yet we are on the list. We are not small nor are we rural. We are in a large major metropolitan area. Our new vehicle inventory alone is well over $4.0 million…Lastly, and more importantly, every state has franchise laws in affect that protect companies from this very thing - being forced out of business under the cloak of bankruptcy without the benefit of due process. This is illegal! (http://directorblue.blogspot.com:80/2009/05/red-alert-did-campaign-contributions.html)

Another troubling factor is why did Obama put a 30-day limit on Chrysler either to merge with Fiat or lose federal bailout funds? And why Fiat? Is it a coincidence that Moammar Gadhafi of Libya very strongly championed Obama’s candidacy during the election and that Libya, controlled by Gadhafi, owns at least a 2% stake in Fiat? Is it also a coincidence that thousands of dollars in contributions to Obama’s campaign came from the Middle East? Are the accusations of “payback time” true? (http://www.newsmax.com/politics/Obama_Gadhafi_Link/2009/05/13/213897.html)

Back to Waco Dodge – With the closing of this dealership, consumers will be left to travel for warranty and service contract repairs outside of McLennan County. The tax base in our local community will be affected as customers purchase their vehicles in other counties. The decreased competition for Chrysler products will also raise car prices.

 

If free market forces had been allowed to prevail across our country, local dealerships would have slimmed down their inventories through attrition; and weaker and non-profitable dealerships would have closed on their own. Instead, the Automotive Task Force told Chrysler that 789 dealerships must be closed.

 

Americans should be outraged at the breech of creditor status, the ability of the government to negate contracts on a whim with no recourse, and the government’s actions regarding taxpayers’ dollars being spent on the "corporation" (who does not intend to repay the taxpayers’ bailout) while the "little guy" (Waco Dodge) is put out of business in our communities.

On Tea Parties: President Obama's comment and Fundraising in Waco

People across the nation came out in the millions to protest against the irresponsible spending of our hard earned tax dollars.  It doesn't matter what your political party is, ALL of our representatives did what they wanted to do, and not listen to the American People.   Congress has given no indication of listening to us or taking the American People seriously.  In a recent statement, President Obama even belittled the movement, ..

"So, you know, when you see — those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular and you see folks waving tea bags around, let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we're going to stabilize Social Security."

Obviously, our President is also not listening to us.   The mainstream media, painted us as Rightwing, and therefore thats what people think we are about.   So what about the Democrats that were out protesting WITH US?  It wasn't just Republicans.. it was ALL of us "Americans", who came out to protest and "wave tea bags around"

Coming up, here in Waco.  The Waco Tea Party is having a Fundraising event at the Hogcreek Icehouse.  (click and get directions).   This will be on May the 30th, and many events are planned.  This is to help the organizers and volunteers to setup more events.   Everything so far has come out of the pockets of the Organizers and Volunteers themselves, and has grown too large for them to finance themselves.  Support, either through money and or time is welcome.  It also gives everyone that comes out, and opportunity to voice their thoughts on future events and give suggestions and ideas of what they want.  

Please remember, the Waco Tea Party, as well as all the Tea Parties across the nation, are about the American People.   Non-Partisan with no financial sponsorships.   They all have fulltime jobs and do these to educate and give a voice to the Majority of Americans.  Show your support, and come out to the Fundraising Event on May 30th!.  Visit the Waco Tea Party website and signup for the newsletters and groups to stay up to date.   Tell your family and friends about this Grassroots movement.

Waco Tea Party - Events Coming!

More Events are being scheduled for Waco and all over the nation.   Please be patient and continue to view the site for more information.   Events take time and preparation to be organized well so that the true meaning of the event is properly sent to our representatives and the rest of the American people.

For up-to-date information, several sites are available to learn what is happening and when events are taken place.   Waco Tea Party organizers would like everyone that wants to attend the events, that have suggestions, ideas or want to know what is going on, to please visit:

Suicide? Freddie Mac acting CFO dies. A Conspiracy Theory?

"The acting chief financial officer of Freddie Mac was found dead in his home Wednesday morning of an apparent suicide, Fairfax, Va."

It is a sad thing that someone takes their own life, however this is kind of 'convienient'.  For the folks in Congress.

"as acting chief financial officer, Kellermann "is responsible for the company's financial controls, financial reporting, tax, capital oversight and compliance with the requirements" of congressional legislation known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. That law was a response to financial scandals like Enron and was intended to make corporate boards more accountable.

Freddie Mac was established by Congress in 1970 to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the nation's residential mortgage markets by guaranteeing loans to what is now 3 million homebuyers."

This is 3 days after the announcement of Herbert Allison Jr.  Fannie Mae's president and CEO, to become the assistant Treasury secretary.

"The White House turned to an experienced former investment banker Friday to run the federal government's $700 billion bank rescue effort, selecting the head of mortgage giant Fannie Mae as an assistant Treasury secretary.

Herbert Allison Jr., Fannie Mae's president and CEO, will replace Neel Kashkari, a holdover from the Bush administration.

Allison, who must be confirmed by the Senate, would bear the title of assistant Treasury secretary for financial stability and counselor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner."

Interestingly enough... in data from the Federal Election Commission on Sept. 2, 2008.

Shows no information on Barack Obama's contributors.

http://www.fec.gov/finance/2008matching/2008matching.shtml

I, however found this about Fannie Mae/Fannie Mac's contributions.

http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html

Show's Christopher Dodd, Barack Obama and John Kerry as the Top 3.  Notable Republicans like John Macain(#62) are also toward the bottom of the list.  Hillary Clinton(#12), Harry Reid(#11) and Nancy Pelosi(#18) and even Joe Lieberman(#50).

So.. now you know why our representatives are bailing out companies, and not listening to US!

My sympathies to the Kellermann Family.  No matter the cause, a loss to a family is great.  I pray god for their comfort and give them strength in this tragedy.

Common Theme from our government

Going through the D.H.S. Memo, and reading other blogs and articles on the web, I can say with "common sense" that our government is filled with "America Haters".   

I don't blame our current President, Barack Obama.   I don't blame our previous (2 term) president, George W. Bush.   I didn't agree with alot of his policies either.   I don't agree with the Republican Party or the Democratic Party.   Neither of which are holding true to their party(s) mandates or responsibilities.   

Republicans are giving their ALL at doing NOTHING.   Not voting or Not speaking out, (No Comment is a YES).  They are complacent and ignoring their constituants.   They are not countering their Democratic counterparts, and they are "laying low" licking their wounds from the past elections.  Now is the time for them to STAND UP and challenge all that is going on.. and what do the Republicans do?  Nothing.  Maybe they are just waiting for the "Socialistic" Democrats to mess up soo badly, that they fall on their face.... Well.. by that time, Republicans... it will be too late, and the battle to correct these problems will wade on and on into our grand-children's children.

Democrats are towing a Socialist agenda.  Calling America (arrogant), and in nearly every comment, a distaste for this great nation.   They say Capitalism is evil.  Its not perfect, by no means.   But Socialism is absolutely much worse... HISTORY has proven that.  (oh wait.. thats why they don't want History properly taught in schools... so people forget about the mistakes of the past.... Hmmmm).    When you mix Socialism and Capitalism, you create a poison.   That is no good for anyone.

Now for my suggestions.  NO BAILOUTS.. lets use those tax dollars to BUY BACK our debt. (read my post on the D.H.S. Memo, where it shows how much American Debt is bought by foreign countries and entities I can't even find.) 
Do NOT tax big business.   When you do.. They cut their 'bottom-line', which is Employment. 

Already, the big layoffs are "pre-emptive" for the most part, based on what the government is saying it is going to do about "Taxing the Rich".  

Give those companies some incentives, the more employees they have, the more "taxes" come from those paychecks, and also the more money goes into the economy from more people with jobs and buying goods and services... Dammit.. Thats Economics 101, folks!

Do NOT socialize medicine.  Give incentives to the insurance companies to offer "Group Rates" to individual policy holders.  Already, I hear that they are working together to create a strategy.
You do NOT want Free Healthcare.. because it is NOT free.  Its paid for by Taxes.  So lets get big government OUT of the Health Care industry.
You do not get a choice of what doctor's you see.  
You do not get a choice of medicines or preferred care.  
You do not get to see a doctor in a timely fashion.  
Also, there are no incentives to want to become a doctor.   So you would have fewer and fewer exceptionally good doctors out there.

Bailouts.  Let those companies fail... Yes... the loss will be staggering at first.  But tell me.. what is smarter?  Spending $1,750,000 to fix something, or spending $750,000 to rebuild it?  It also gives companies that are NOT needing a bailout, to "ramp" up and take the overflow, which means.. Yep. MORE JOBS!  Wouldn't you put your money into a successful company that didn't need a bailout??? Plus, the current bailout money is going to companies that contribute to the various political campaigns of the Republican and Democratic parties.

I am not spouting 'rightwing conservative extremist' rhetoric...  I am talking about Common Sense.  I present to you Facts that can be found in Public Records, from the voting record of our representatives, the political campaign contributions from various organizations, reports by the U.S. Department of Treasury and much more is out there... Open to the public.  Stuff they don't want you to know is out there, and make a point of not telling the people it is there.

Lastly, to our President:

"Mr. Obama.   Grow a backbone and standup against congress, support American's and quit listening to the "Haters" out there.  We all love this country, and if you do too, HELP US take it back.   We won't stop "Saving America"."

Breaking down the D.H.S Memo

Here I will attempt to breakdown the D.H.S. from the leaked memo.

past the normal rhetoric on page 2.

"....and the perceived threat to U.S. power and sovereignty by other foreign powers."

The 'perceived' threat, is a real threat.   Click HERE and you can see for yourself!!  This is straight from the US Treasury Department.  In Feb. 2008, China bought 486.9 Billion Dollars of our debt.
As of Feb. 2009, China has purchased 744.2 Billion Dollars!!!   

And they call that a 'perceived' threat?

"The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of
military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities
could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists
capable of carrying out violent attacks."

So... Our returning veterans have to look forward to being scrutinized as possible "extremists"? 
The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms, right now don't exist.. but there are already leanings toward "Taxing Ammunition" from this http://ammunitionaccountability.org/Legislation.htm
Thankfully, for Texas and some other states, they are not allowing Washington to dictate these policies within state legislation.   Directly, if Congress were to push such a Federal Legislation, it would not go over at all, so with using an indirect approach, Congress makes it look like it is abiding the 10th Amendment, by letting the states decide.  Everyone needs to keep an eye on these developments.

"Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are
attractive to rightwing extremists. DHS/I&A is concerned that rightwing
extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to
boost their violent capabilities."

Shows they have no respect for our veterans.  Our veteran's are smart enough to know right from wrong.   So what does this tell you?  Well, this is MY opinion.  It tells ME that the government knows what they are doing is wrong, and that the veterans will more than likely side with the government's critics.   Which means that EVERYONE who is a critic of our current government, is a "rightwing extremist".

"A recent example of the potential violence associated with a rise in rightwing
extremism may be found in the shooting deaths of three police officers in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 4 April 2009. The alleged gunman’s reaction
reportedly was influenced by his racist ideology and belief in antigovernment
conspiracy theories related to gun confiscations, citizen detention camps, and a
Jewish-controlled “one world government.”"

They are associating this incident with "Rightwing Conservative Extremists".  So.. everyone that has a conspiracy theory or antigovernment views can pretty much put themselves in this boat...... OH Crap.. thats ME!!!!  (and probably 70% of Americans)....

"Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the
economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors,
and home foreclosures. Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate
conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish “financial elites.” These “accusatory” tactics
are employed to draw new recruits into rightwing extremist groups and further radicalize
those already subscribing to extremist beliefs. DHS/I&A assesses this trend is likely to
accelerate if the economy is perceived to worsen."

This is serious!  So... all the "chatter" on the internet, of anyone who focuses on the "FACTS" of what is going on, is a "Rightwing extremist"?

Here are some FACTS about the 'perceived' loss of U.S. Jobs?
"The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) rose 
to 3.2 million over the month and has increased by about 1.9 million since the 
start of the recession in December 2007"  Excerpt from http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

And some more FACTS about 'perceived' Home Foreclosures?
"The number of American households threatened with losing their homes grew 24 percent in the first three months of this year and is poised to rise further ...." Excerpt from http://www.nydailynews.com/real_estate/2009/04/16/2009-04-16_us_home_foreclosures_jump_24_in_first_quarter.html

I'll just hold off on breaking down the rest of the D.H.S. Memo for now... absorb it... Because it is what our government is trying to do to ALL of us...  Doesn't matter what political party you adhere to, you will have to deal with 'Gestapo' tactics like the D.H.S. Memo, that are putting fear and distrust into the American People!!

Readers!!  You can put a stop to this.

Amazing Turnout WACO!!!

To everyone that came out and supported their fellow Texans and Americans, thank you!

With the biased media downplaying the turnouts accross the country, we showed what a "couple hundred" people could do.  Actually, the 11:30 - 1:30 event, had approximately 1200 supporters and the evening event at the Waco Suspension Bridge had a little over 1800 supporters come out.

Garrett Lewis of NewsTalk 1230, did an excellent job of informing the people along with the organizers and volunteers!  Thank you Garrett!   He took notice of the "anti-protestors" and called them up to talk, which they declined.  One sign he brought attention to, was one that said "NO TO HOSPITALS".   Well, those people were just mis-informed attention addicts, spouting nonsense and advertising their own ignorance.   

All the people that spoke, had important things to say.   None of them touted any party line, and kept it about AMERICANS!  With all the negative biased media reporting going on, to mis-inform the public, its important to re-iterate the positive things that this Tea Party brought up. The media will continue to slant the true message and sensationalize the idiots out there.  

We want our congressional representatives in Washington, to LISTEN TO US!   NO MORE BAILOUTS!!  NO MORE TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!.   We ALL want our hard earned tax dollars spent to benefit our country as a WHOLE, not individual companies or localized only projects.

If they don't listen and do what WE THE PEOPLE tell them to.. then WE THE PEOPLE can FIRE them.   

Don't let the biased and inept media tell you otherwise. 

It's just the beginning of a brighter and BETTER future for us all!!!!  And we go it together!

Thanks for waking up Waco!    Here are some links to photos of The Waco Tea Party!

Tax Day Tea Party!

I took my 15 year old daughter to the Waco Tea Party this afternoon.   As with alot of people, I could not take off work all day to attend, but showed up in support of our local Tea Party.   The Turnout was super-terrific.  Everyone was very cordial and extremely vocal about their support to the Tea Party.

Toby Walker, Jim Wright, Michael Simon..... ALL the volunteers there all had smiles on and were amazed at the turnout.   There were 1000 little stickers printed for the party, and at the time I had to leave and go back to work, all the stickers were gone.  Still, I saw many others walking around without stickers, suffice to say, over 1000 people showed up to it.
Here are some pictures of the Afternoon event of the Waco Tea Party

I am returning after work, at 5PM to the next event, which will be held at the Waco Suspension Bridge (see lower post about change of venue).

Already on CNN, the slant is that its a conservative/republican event Nationwide 'tea party' protests blast bailouts

Again.. SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH!!!!!!!  In order for our message to be properly represented, we need to circumvent the mainstream biased media.

WAKE UP WACO!!  Send the true message to America.. Don't let the biased Media mis-inform the public anymore!!!
