MERRY CHRISTMAS

First off, Merry Christmas to one and all, we hope and pray you have a safe and happy holiday. Today’s newsletter is a bit long, with lots of information and links (Copy and Paste links into browser), so please bear with it.
Since the TARP bill of the previous administration I had been saying “We need another Tea Party!” I never thought when I started “The next ‘Tea Party’” last February on facebook that the response would be so great. I started the site to discuss issues with my friends and it soon grew into what it is today with 3 groups, separate, yet linked in spirit and purpose (The New American TEA PARTY, Southern California; American Tea Party So Cal; and The People of Liberty.com). I want to personally thank each of you for making this happen. Your support is greatly appreciated.

I know at times Rodney and I have sounded a bit…well… pushy, but it is for a good reason, the future of our children. Those who are suppose to have our best interest in mind have instead done everything in their power to destroy that which our founding fathers gave us. Rodney and I will not let this happen without a fight as I know many of you will not either. So much taxpayer money has been spent in the last year it’s hard to keep track of it all. It has been spent on “Pork Barrel” projects, given to Banks, Wall Street Corporations, Labor Unions, Car Companies, Government Officials, Other Countries, “Cash for Clunkers”, Advertisements for Bills that spend more money, Travel, Vacations, Parties, and Bribes to pass Bills that spend more money. If you aren’t P.O.’d you are not paying attention. This money comes from US!
Earlier this year we put out the “Politician Report Card”, when I began researching the money being spent on “Pork” I couldn’t believe how much money was being wasted even as many Americans were losing their jobs and having to cut back: http://www.cagw.org/reports/pig-book/2009/ (much more has occurred since). The millions of “Tea Party Patriots” asked the Politicians to “STOP THE SPENDING”! They answered with Sen. Schumer stating that we (the “chattering class”) don’t care about the “Pork”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac1oqUwzkNk .
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h1enr.txt.pdf to ”Bail Out Main Street” (Intro to the bill: Making supplemental appropriations for job preservation and creation, infrastructure investment, energy efficiency and science, assistance to the unemployed, and State and local fiscal stabilization, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and for other purposes) did nothing but bail out those “Too Big To Fail” using Main Street’s money (is Main Street too small to succeed?)! The Patriots took to the streets demanding the politicians to “STOP THE SPENDING”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9mE2OzR_Qg ! The Politicians responded on March 11, 2009 with The Omnibus Bill: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h1105enr.txt.pdf , containing 9,287 pieces of “Pork” adding almost $13,000,000,000 to the bill: http://www.heritage.org/Research/Budget/upload/porktable.html

On May 15th the House brought us the “Waxman / Markey Bill” (The American Energy and Security Act of 2009): http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h2454pcs.txt.pdf . A Global Warming bill that would tax every single American from now until forever more based on “junk science”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIht61wdvkw.

During the week of June 15th, 2009 millions of Americans all over the country took to the streets to say to the Politicians once again; “STOP THE SPENDING”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOYigvAHyqY! The Politicians and the Main Stream Media ignored us or called us “Angry Mobs”, “Racists”, “Angry White Men”, “Tea-Baggers” and “Haters” (WARNING!!! Graphic Language):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAAHMDpk7Ik . I thought dissent was the greatest form of Patriotism, right Hillary:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJxmpTMGhU0 ? They even sent Homeland Security after us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R_d6fowB4g and the President belittled us stating we were “playing games”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPBqyQjTNqQ . Regardless, our movement grew by leaps and bounds, no central organization, no one leader, truly a “Grass Roots” movement, not “astro-turf” as Madame Pelosi stated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P44q7Jt68DA .

After June 15th, the Politicians brought out Health Care Bill after Health Care Bill. The House passed the “Cap and Trade” (Waxman/ Markey) Bill on June 26th. On July 4th, once again, the “Patriots” showed up en masse to tell the Politicians “STOP THE SPENDING”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAtUILUTTQg !!! We even invited those who didn’t like us to see what we were about:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC9X5moico4 . Still, the Politicians moved forward with their agenda as if we did not exist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOHe3I4feuE (this was in regards to the Tax Day Parties, but they still tried to say we didn’t exist).

The Politicians, thinking they could “Rein in” their constituencies, began Town Hall meetings to sell the Administration’s Health Care Bill and a fire storm erupted. Everyday Americans, the seniors, the “Silent Majority”, and many others stood up to be heard for the first time making excellent points: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y98HxYbsdBM . It was very passionate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6DXj63B-sE . We were angry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS9gbMqIBxs (excellent Reagan comments at the end of video). What did the Politicians do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L3FnWNkIzU , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEak3jBP7iY Seriously? This was the “Summer of our Discontent” and the Health care Bill was stalled thanks to all of us.

The Obama Administration wanted the Health Care Bill passed by August, then by Labor Day, then Halloween, Thanksgiving, by Christmas Eve, but now it appears it won’t get through the House until next month however, the Senate had to bribe certain Senators to get their vote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHBcSPUPPvc , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO0MFkFpVJg . The mere fact that a Senator’s vote would even be considered for sale is appalling to all true Americans.

President Obama flew to Copenhagen for the Cop 15 (http://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/un-fccc-copenhagen-2009.pdf ) summit to try and get a Universal agreement on Global Warming even though it is coming out that it is the biggest hoax of all time by the CRU e-mails: http://junkscience.com/FOIA/mail/ , and over 30,000 scientists suing Al Gore over the whole thing: http://www.petitionproject.org/index.php . Prior to President Obama’s visit, Hillary Clinton promised $100,000,000,000 a year to the cause: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2009/12/17/2009-12-17_us_will_contribute_to_100b_climate_fund_for_developing_countries_hillary_clinton.html , where do you think that money’s coming from? Good news is there was no agreement reached.

Folks, I know the battle seems long and futile at times, but we are making waves, we are causing delays, we do have some of these Politicians worried about losing their power. “The price of Freedom isn’t free”, I know you’ve all heard that saying, It usually applies to our brave Military Veterans; I am going to apply it to all Americans (no disrespect guys) because we need to remain vigilant here at home so that Liberty and Freedom exist for the troops when they return and for the future Americans. Many of us take for granted the Freedom we have, we’ve become so complacent we would prefer to lie around watching sports and let someone else deal with the problem. Guess what, FREEDOM ISN’T FREE!!! Our founding fathers told us that “Vigilance is the price of Freedom”.

I have not received any money for my efforts nor do I want any (never thought I’d say I didn’t want money, lol). I have met many other organizers and many wonderful folks who share my concerns and guess what, most of them have not received a dime either. We all just want our freedom and to let our children experience that same freedom. So why is it our “Representatives” don’t listen to us? They appear to be too interested in their own agendas and what the lobbyists can do for them. Come the 2010 elections I want you to remain vigilant and stay informed. Once we remove those that need to go (all the incumbents), we must demand term limits on all Politicians, but that’s another fight for another day.

Please enjoy your Christmas and have a Happy New Year. We will be continually updating our website: www.ThePeopleofLiberty.com to keep you informed and up to date on the important issues.


Here are some funny videos to lighten things up:
