RockfordTeaParty Meeting Tuesday

2010-02-12T08:25:00.000-08:00

Hello Tea Party...

We will hold a RockfordTeaParty Meeting on Tuesday Feb. 16th from 5 pm
to 8 pm at the Rockford Public Library in the Auditorium on 211 N.
Wyman Street to go over the introduction of two new local TeaParty's
and the formation of a soon coming third TeaParty in Carroll County.
The other new Tea Parties are the Stephenson County Tea Party
Coordinated by Bill Deitz and the Northern Illinois Tea Party
coordinated by Jane Carrell and Doc Spurlock.

We will also meet to give anyone a chance that has not signed up for
the Northern Illinois Tea Party Town Hall which takes place on the
20th at the Stockholm Inn a chance to get in contact Jane and the NITP
Coordinators who are all invited to this meeting.

We will then preview the Reason For Revolution Where You Are events
that will take place in your circle of influence where ever you are.
Once this is all completed we will show a movie that is the basis of
much of what we know about the Federal Reserve called "The Money
Masters." This is not an Alex Jones movie but it is so well done you
will wonder why this gentleman isn't as big as Jones. The Movie is
just over an hour long and is as shocking as it is informative. You
won't get this information from CNN. You may not even get it from
Beck. You will get it from the RockfordTeaParty.

Reason For Revolution Where You Are

2010-02-12T08:24:00.000-08:00

Hello Tea Party

The “Reason for Revolution” Tea Party Town Hall is coming to your
living room, your church or civic group, your Sunday school class.
Twice every week we will have a Tea Party Town Hall “where you are”
for just those people you invite or who participate in whatever group
to which you belong.

This unique message is about Revolution and the roles we are all
playing in the current Revolution and the role of faith in the
Revolution. It’s a message unlike any your have heard. And you will
only hear it "where you are."

RockfordTeaParty Coordinator David Hale will come to you to discuss
the Reason for Revolution.

The “where you are" concept is about reaching into people's lives
"where they are" to truly move them to action. The “Reason for
Revolution” Town Hall dates are being set up now for you to gather
your friends, family, neighbors to come to your home or the place you
choose to discuss, wrestle with, to speak about the Reasons for
Revolution during this local RockfordTeaParty Town Hall in your place
"where you are."

This is not about politics, and its not about politics anymore. This
is about our nation’s lifeblood being drained from us. This is about
the Vampire draining us dry. Our Vampire Economy. Our Vampire
Politicians. Our Vampire government. The Tea Party has preached to the
Choir for the past year, and we’ve reached many locally. We’re 10
million strong across the nation. Yet we’re a nation of 300 million,
and that means we have yet to convert this nation into a Tea Party
Nation of Patriots. That means people will remain in their lazy boy
chairs in useful ignorance used by the vampires stealing our lives
until someone comes along and lifts them from their Lazy Boy's and
into Reason for Revolution.

It's time that you the Choir brings the message into the living rooms
of your circles of family, friends and fellowships. It is time for an
up close and personal Tea Party. Invite the RockfordTeaParty to your
circle of influence so that the message can reach beyond the walls of
the choir room.

Please contact David at rockfordteaparty@gmail.com to book the day and
the time. All venues are welcome. Sunday School Classes’, Church
Groups, Small Groups, neighborhood gatherings, family and friends
gatherings, Dinner Party’s, Luncheons, Civic Groups, Political Groups,
Political Candidates, High School and College groups or clubs. We'll
meet you anywhere you are.

This unique message is about Revolution and the roles we are all
playing in the current revolution and the role of faith in this and
other revolutions. It’s a message unlike any you have heard. And you
will only hear it "where you are."

Contact David Hale Coordinator of the RockfordTeaParty at 779-348-5427
or write to him at rockfordteaparty@gmail.com to book your event. He
will help you set it up and get the word out. We look forward to this
Reason for Revolution Tea Party Town Hall where you are. This is an
exciting opportunity to hear what revolution is really all about, why
they happen why they succeed or fail and whether or not we are headed
in that direction.

Thank You

Hello Tea Party...

I am pleased to announce that two new area Tea Parties have formed to
serve patriots in surrounding Rockford Communities. Bill and Deb Dietz
have formed the Stephenson County Tea Party and can be reached by
writing to them at stepcoteaparty@aeroinc.net. I'll be speaking at
their meeting this Thursday night at 7 pm 111 E. Mason St. Lena IL.
61048. They meet on the second Thursday of every month at the same
location.

Jane Carrell and Doc Spurlock have formed the Northern Illinois Tea
Party which was birthed out of the RockfordTeaParty to serve the
Patriot Community of Rockton/Roscoe and anyone who would like to
participate with them. They will hold a Tea Party Town Hall on Feb
20th at Stockholm Inn. This event promises to be an exceptional event
with a list of incredible speakers some of whom are very well known
locally, statewide and nationally.

RockfordTeaParty will have a meeting within the next two weeks to show
the very informative and money busting movie the Money Masters.
Details on where and when are on the way.

Exciting times are coming for the Northern Illinois Area. and it would
be nice to start a Boone County Tea Party. Anyone interested let me
know and I will walk you through every step and like the Stephenson
County and Northern Illinois Tea Parties, the Boone county Tea Party
will be completely independent and autonomous from the
RockfordTeaParty.

Don't forget that the Tea Party Express is coming to Rockford on April
6th to Davis Park...

Don't forget to visit the www.illinoistea.org website.

A Revolution...

2010-02-03T19:12:00.001-08:00

WE THE PEOPLE ARE ROMANS 13

2010-02-03T13:42:00.000-08:00

WE THE PEOPLE ARE ROMANS 13

How important is it for Christians to be involved in the process of electing leaders? Romans 13 has many Christians right in its sights to consider. Rightly interpreted it holds no confusion for those who rightly divide the truth. Although Germans were confused enough by it that they kept quiet during the mass murder of 6 million people, Americans need not be under such confusion. The verses are not confusing when Christian Pastors pray to understand and teach what it really means. God ordains government. It is simple.

13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God’s appointment, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God. 13:2 So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment 13:3 (for rulers cause no fear for good conduct but for bad). Do you desire not to fear authority? Do good and you will receive its commendation; 13:4 for it is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be in fear, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God’s servant to administer retribution on the wrongdoer.

God's servant...to administer. God's servant? Is God's servant a good or a bad influence, an ordained or an unordained servant?

Rulers cause no fear for those with good conduct but for bad. The interpretation is that God ordains good government, but bad government He has not approved, but we know bad government still rules over people. In those cases not by God’s ordination. NAZI Germany being the prime example. Rulers of Germany caused fear for even those people who were acting as responsible citizens. Citizens acting in good conduct who by a government oppressing, terrorizing, or abusing the people is not the Good Government referred to in Romans 13.

In the United States the Founders solved this problem by making the government the people, and thus God working through our founders created a government that is good and thus ordained, because the people are the government. The people for the most part who populated this nation were followers of Jesus. The government now is not the government as we would like to believe because largely the power of the government has been removed from the people and centralized in the hands of career politicians put in place by an ungodly people.

We must understand that it is truly the people who is the government. It truly is the people that are the rulers. It truly is the people who gives the government permission to represent them, and we the people are under God's direct authority. When the Romans 13 says God ordains those who are authorities, in the case of the USA, God ordained the people to be the authorities. Our founders understood that. We The People are the ordained government.

The people that make laws are the proxy of We the People. They have been given a privilege to represent Us The People, because we are the ordained government. However when the people loses its connection with God, or when the people loses its ability to understand this direct line of authority, the government that is the proxy of the people, rules the people, and is harmfully out of the chain of command from God. That government will rule the people without God’s Ordination and without the people’s permission.

This is why our founders founded this nation as a Christian nation so that it would always be ruled by Godly men and women who were and are the people. The people acting out of their faith would elect leaders who reflected their values and as they reflected their values they would cause no fear for good conduct.

We the People of the USA are the government that is ordained by God. It can be argued that We The People are no longer a Christian people, or because the Christians in the nation no longer understand their position in government, America has incrementally and slowly become a nation no longer ordained by God.

The people are still the authorities that God ordained and the American people have become ruled by their passions for many things not of God. The popular culture rules America’s hearts and minds, and thus we have set a nation to govern based upon the whims and the passions of the moment.

We have truly lost our way as a nation and in order for the government that we elect to be just and good again, We The People must once again become just and good. As long as we the people are the government, the government we elect will continue to be a reflection of what we are and want.

A reasonable case can be made that the proxy government currently in place is abusive and oppressive. We can only hope that it does not become a terror to the people.
It truly comes down to us deserving the leaders we get. If people in the country want to continue to be abused by the leaders we elect to be our proxy government then that is the choice of each individual American. Christians must step up and begin to reclaim this government by actively engaging not only this culture but also this government.

Christians were fed to the lions by Rome because they refused to conform to bad government. They resisted. The could have saved themselves, their wives and their children had they merely said Cesar is cool and “we are cool with Cesar.”

RockfordTeaParty Candidate Grades

2010-01-20T20:57:00.000-08:00

RockfordTeaParty Illinois Candidate Grades:
Adam ANDREZEJEWSKI-Governor A+,
Patrick HUGHES-Senate A+
Jason PLUMMER-Lt. Gov A+
William KELLY-Comptroller A+
John CABELLO-State Rep 68th District A+
Aaron BOOKER-Sheriff Winnebago County A+
Joe SOSNOWSKI-State Rep. 69th District A+
Ann JORGANSON-Appellate Court Judge, District 2 A+
Mary SHOSTOCK-Appellate Court Judge A
More Candidate grades: PROFT-Governor A, DON LOWRY-SENATE A, White-Lt. Gov A, DODGE-Comptroller C, Thadd Loffelmacher State Rep 69th District-B.

The Illinois Primary takes place on Feb 2nd and will be the most important primary in the history of our nation and most definitely in the history of the Tea Party. If we cannot elect true passionate constitutional conservatives to run in the general election in November then we have virtually no chance of Taking Illinois Back for us. Please keep those grades in mind when you go into the voting booth on Feb 2nd. Illinois is 48th on the depth chart for financial solvency. We have 11 billion dollars of outstanding debt. We have 60 billion dollars of unfunded pension obligations. We do not have the money for either. We have illegals flooding into the state literally robbing us of our resources in the form of free health care, education, and many social services. Our kids who are born here in the state do not get the benefits illegals receive. We need to have a change in the state. The only way to start that change is to go and vote in the primary on Feb 2nd for Republicans.

Don't let Scott Brown's election give you a false sense of security that the tide is turning. His election was meant to placate us, to make us feel a sense of victory, to make us quiet down. I will not be placated by his election. It is one victory out of 50 state victories that we MUST have to make this country ours again. America is lost, and Im tired of trying to find America. We better find ourselves pretty darn fast. Time is running out.

RockfordTeaParty Voter SPEAKOUT

2010-01-14T06:01:00.000-08:00

RockfordTeaParty and the Northern Illinois Voter Education Forum invite you to attend the RockfordTeaParty Voter SPEAKOUT to voice your opinion on the Primary candidates of your choice and hear who we the Tea Party think will make good candidates for the November Elections. Join us and the Republican Party, Concerned Citizens for America and Right to Life in grading both party’s candidates for the February 2nd Illinois Primary.

We will have a ballot for all to see on a big screen and candidate information. This is our chance to have a revolution at the polls and tell all statewide officials and those who have inflicted themselves on us from Washington that we want TRUE CHANGE. Fiscal Responsibility. Limited Government. Limited Taxation. Bring Your signs. This is a Tea Party.

Memorial Hall 211 North Main St., Rockford IL across from the Rockford Public Library Downtown at 9 am on January 16th.

UPDATE:

Hello Tea Party...

I just got two bits of exciting news for the RockfordTeaParty Voter
SPEAKOUT...William Kelly who is running for Comptroller will be in
attendance along with a number of other candidates, and Joe Calomino,
Director of Americans for Prosperity will be in attendance to address
us regarding AFP and our similar goals. We will also have two TV
stations in attendance. And hey maybe the President will show up to.
Har har....just kidding. I canceled his appearance.

The RockfordTeaParty Voter SPEAKOUT is taking place on Saturday the
16th at 9 am. Just wanted to remind you to come on out. Two TV
Stations have already told me they will be there. Doc and I will be on
WROK 1440 AM at 0900 tomorrow to discuss the Voter SPEAKOUT.
David will then be on WNTA at 11 am.

Tonight the Illinois Senatorial Debate will feature 7 candidates at
7 pm on Comcast channel 16. I hope you will consider tuning in to
watch these guys express themselves and reveal themselves.

This is the
only opportunity in Rockford to really take a good look at the
candidates in the primary and this is the means by which the Tea Party
finally can matter. The Primary is Feb 2nd. We want to have a
Revolution at the Polls. This Primary is OUR Bannockburn, our Valley
Forge. This is our time to truly make a difference to truly change the
face of the political climate in Illinois and once again the eyes of
the nation are on us. This is the state where our Democratic Governor
tried to sell the Senate seat of the current sitting President. This
is the state where the current siting Senator was most likely dealing
in dollars to obtain the seat. This is the state that is 6 billion
dollars in the hole. This is the state with the earliest primary and
will set the tone for the rest of the nation. We look forward to
seeing you at the RockfordTeaParty Voter SPEAKOUT this Saturday at 9
am to begin sifting through our choices for those who will Govern.

Remember the Speakout is the only forum of its kind open to the public
to assess the candidates running for office to give you the voter an
idea of who it is you are voting for. Concerned Citizens for America,
Rockford Right to Life, The Republican Party and of course We the Tea
Party will be there to provide grades and candidate endorsements and
our analysis of the various candidates. No it will not be a droll
drawn out policy discussion, but a look at the real people with what
really matters to us. It will be a fun time with lively discussion and
a lot of Town Hall type interaction. Looking forward to seeing you
there to prepare for a Revolution at the Polls. Tell 10 people and
print out the attached flyer to invite them.

Barack Obama’s Rules for Revolution – The Alinsky Model By David Horowitz

What Are You Willing To DO?

2009-10-21T11:26:00.000-07:00

Hello Tea Party...

I am writing to you of a very serious nature. First allow me to share with you an anecdote from this morning while driving to school with my 11-year-old son. He said to me, "dad, did you make a copy of the Declaration of Independence for the Tea Party." I answered him that yes indeed a couple guys had one made for the Tea Party. So he drops this shocker on me when he tells me, "I was reading in the Declaration of Independence with my class and I saw something in there that said we are allowed to change out our government if we thought that the government was doing bad things to the people." I asked him if his teacher taught him that and he answered, No she didn't, I just read it in there and thought of it." I was shocked. My 11-year-old son could read something so deep and yet so simple and understand what was truly happening in our nation right now. So without me asking him he says, "wait a minute before you drop me off dad and I will find the part where it says this." I waited and sure enough he found the part in his history book which has a reprint of the declaration of Independence and read it to me. I was so proud of this little 11-year-old patriot, my son.

That brings me to the serious nature of this email. We are not in humorous times folks and we need to begin making a difference. We urgently need SOBRIETY. I fear we have come to a place where we feel like we fired off a few volleys of free speech and subsequently feel like the opponents to our republic fled in fear. THEY HAVE NOT AND THEY ARE STILL HERE. I recently received an email from a fellow patriot whose frustration spilled out on the page in all Capital Letters. She told me, "YOU ARE PREACHING TO THE CHIOR." I did not reply but pondered her statement and the rest of her words. I must say thanks Sharon B for the wake up. I have actually been awake and every cell in my being on fire with passion for this nation to make a true and lasting change for a future, yet through my 20 year struggle in this arena, I have come to recognize that we have let it slide so far down that slippery slope that we are almost at the bottom of that mud clad hillside. Through this Tea Party my effort and the effort of a number of leaders with whom I have counted on have been minimally effective in shaping a larger community and compelling it to action. Yes I am speaking to the Choir and right now even the Choir is not singing and is not together.

I write this letter in the hopes of compelling you to action not using shame or guilt as motivation but appealing to your sense of duty of which each one of us as American Citizens have a binding contract to obey and exercise. It is our duty as citizens of this nation to save it from the course of demise that we are truly on. It would be nice to keep our heads tucked in like turtles and hope to God that it passes and hope to God that the BEAR that is trying to savage us for dinner gets tired of our hard shell and goes away. The BEAR will not go away, and we are not turtles. We are Eagles, and we must make an effort to halt the demise of our Republic. That means numbers. It comes down to less than 1000 officials controlling the entire course of this nation of 300 million people. They reside in Washington DC, and we stupidly put them there. Yes I said it. Stupidly. We are not stupid though, and we can and must change out this elected body of criminals. Yes I said it. Criminals. I cannot do it alone. I am one person. It can only be done with a true revolution and upheaval at the polls by all of us. YOU AND ME. Absent that we are nothing more than a petty banana republic if we attempt to change our nation through some violent bloody coup. I cannot call that an option. Might that happen? Yes. And I dread the day anything like that ever happens.

I truly believe that we can change it at the polls. We MUST CHANGE IT AT THE POLLS. If we are to change this nation at the polls we need warriors willing to sound this alarm enlist people who will go to the polls and vote. This coming primary is the most critical primary in the history of our Republic, because never before have we had such critical issues facing our Republic and sovereignty. The mere fact that Barack Obama plans to sign off on the Treaty of Copenhagen in December should be enough to fire up every patriots blood that they will massively go into the polling booth and throw out every official in Washington who dares agree with that treaty. Need I mention Cap and Trade, Trillion Dollar Bailouts, Healthcare Takeover and the many other serious and significantly damaging decisions that have been made in the past nine months. And of course I do not need to remind any of you how far we have tumbled down that mud stained hill over the past nine months, the past 30 years. Here is what I am asking you do do...please.

Though I believe that the Republican Party has Betrayed this Nation over the last 10 years I am putting aside my disdain for the Republican party. My disdain for people like Susan Collins, Olympia Snow and Mark Kirk whom I hope are voted out as soon as is humanly possible. I am asking you to put aside your disdain for the republican party and massively vote for the most fiscally responsible Senate, Gubernatorial, Congressional candidates and all of the rest of the candidates in the PRIMARY. I am afraid I cannot report anything good at this time about the current Party in Power...the Democrats. We can and must incrementally flush this Communist Leaning Government out by first putting a party into power filled with Responsible Representatives and as we PROGRESS to a fiscally responsible government and see that power of our success we can repeat this effort in 2012 and then again in 2014 and then again in 2016. Right now the Republican Party still has some responsible representatives in office. Joe Wilson who told Obama he was lying comes to mind. If you look at the shades of blue we can change the shades of that blue from the deep blue that we are now in to a light blue and then flip it all over to the RED. Our nation must move to the RED. Being in the Red means being financially solvent once again.

Folks the only other option if you want change is a violent bloody uprising, and that my friends is not an option for me, and hopefully not for you. Yes it will massively change things right away, but the cost to our nation would be OUR NATION. We are in a completely different circumstance than our Patriot Founders. We would no longer have a nation, and we would be left open to invasion, vulnerable to invasion from all those powers that know that they can park themselves 12 miles off the cost and wait for us to butcher one another, and then they can come in an wipe up the leftover chaos. Violent Bloody Revolution is not an option folks. It is spoken of by too many people as if some Secret Force were waiting or some Cavalry were coming to sweep out the current crop of Criminals in Washington DC and then rightly divide the already divided nation on the left and right.

Remember this, those who support the current crop of criminals in Washington DC also have guns, and they will defend their GAINS with their lives no matter how peaceful they want to portray themselves. They have made enormous gains in the areas of Abortion, Redistribution of Wealth through punitive taxation, Homosexual Rights, Godless Public Arena, Illegal Immigration, Feeding the Welfare State, The Destruction of Small Business America through Corrupt Unions and unreasonable regulations that favor large Corporate Interests, The Corruption of American Education by Corrupt Teacher Unions, Control of America's Institutions of Higher Learning with Ideologically Communist Professors, Judicial Malfeasance and Judicial Legislation based upon Precedent Law, Control of the News Media. And the list could go on. In all of these areas we the Fiscally Responsible, Limited Government, Limited Taxation, God Honoring, Freedom in Education, Pro-Life and Pro-Legal Immigration American Patriots have lost significant ground. There truly is a division between the two sides. WE ARE AT A FATAL POINT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR REPUBLIC.

WE MUST STAND TOGETHER AT THE POLLS. We cannot divide our votes this time folks. There are good parties out there YES. The Libertarians, the Constitutionalists. But we don't have the time to reach enough people to compel them to vote for the highly qualified candidates in those parties, however we do have time to begin voting for those highly qualified candidates in the 2010 elections, and I am asking all to put aside their righteous hatred for the Republican Party and vote for the right candidates in the PRIMARIES which will give us qualified people for the general elections. We CAN get Libertarians and Constitutional Party Candidates into office in the 2012 Elections. Right Now we must stop this hemorrhaging. We are traumatically bleeding out folks and having a heart attack at the same time. We must Stop the bleeding because if we have no blood left we have no life left. Once we stop the bleeding we can get the heart working again. We need people to step up and start taking ownership of our Republic, and who will step up and take ownership of the Tea Party here in Rockford. People who will be relentless and radically on fire to make a change who believe in this vision that we can only do it at the polls. If we don't have any takers in the next few days I will conclude that Rockford is lost and the Tea Party will be done. RockfordTeaParty needs patriots with Initiative. People who will lead groups in their homes twice a month to show videos to their neighbors, their friends, their family. You'll have to buy the video. I will send out recommendations for videos. Then you will have to lead discussions with the purpose in mind to compel people to get out to the polls and vote. RockfordTeaParty needs people willing to call into the radio stations both 1330 WNTA and 1440 WROK to share their concerns and their solutions. RockfordTeaParty needs people willing to step up and write to the Register Star and the Rock River Times both of which are part of the problem but can be reasoned with through letters to the editor. RockfordTeaParty needs people willing to step out and protest. We will have protests soon, and it may come down to us facing arrest for PEACEFUL NON-VIOENT sit ins outside of Representatives offices and Media Offices. I am asking you to declare your own level of commitment. Your comfort level, but I am asking you to

We can and must save our country. There is no one else. There is no one to come to our rescue. We are the First Responders, the Cavalry. My Patriot Son taught me a lesson this morning. The Declaration is Alive and he is the proof and he now knows what our founders knew. It happened by a simply child-like reading of our Founding Document. The truth has been passed down to the next generation, and that truth will burn like a passionate fire in his heart the rest of his life. We cannot let him down. He told me that we have the right change out our government not because he thinks he can do it alone, but because he is counting on me and you to do it now. Are you willing to Participate in the Life of Your Nation? Please join me, please allow me to join you in Participating in the Life of Our Nation Together.

I look forward to hearing from every one of the 250 people on this email list. At the very least please forward this message to everyone on your email lists or in your contact list and ask them to also froward it on.

God Bless You all...

Racial Narrative

2009-09-16T20:51:00.000-07:00

There has been an interesting racial narrative over this past week with the happenings of four events. First Joe Wilson told the truth about Obama lying which has been turned into a racial issue, then a white teen was brutally beaten on a school bus of all black teens and then Kanye West jumped up on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards and berated the young and new the the music scene white 19-year-old singer while she was receiving her first MTV award saying that she didn't deserve it. Finally Barack Obama himself put the finishing touch on that incident by calling Kanye West a Jackass. I hope these four incidents are not mere preludes to things to come. It would seem that the racial divide has intensified. The Tea Party over the weekend has has been characterized by many on the left as a gathering of racists. It would seem that 13 percent of the nation has effectively convinced the ruling authority and the prevailing moralists to paint this intensified racial picture for some greater purpose. This division must stop. I love the black people of this nation. They have so much to offer. I just wish that there could be some place we could all end this racism. Unfortunately I feel that we are not ending it but that the left is intensifying it.

Continental Congress

2009-09-15T11:51:00.000-07:00

So after the Continental Congress comes up with their suggestions and restates what we are all already saying, what will the Continental Congress do to force the current corrupt government to comply with their demands or their suggestions? What is their means of enforcing their conclusions? I would posit that they have no means of compliance and are merely stating the already stated. This corrupt government will continue to ignore their conclusions and the voice of the people and there is nothing the continental congress can do about it. Legally or otherwise. They may have legal basis but what court will enforce their findings? Is a court order enough to force this corrupt government to begin complying? I doubt it.

Its also interesting that at the first Continental Congress before they convened their sessions they would have deeply intense and vigorous prayer meetings where they would call upon the God of the Bible in the name of His Son Jesus Christ to guide them and provide them with temperance and wisdom. From everything I have seen none of the people that I KNOW want to have anything to do with God let alone the God of the bible, and have I have heard some of them personally curse God and deny that they even believe in Him or that He even exists. Yet they want to have a Continental Congress similar to the first one. I think they need to figure out what the original members of the Continental Congress were all about and start using their blueprint.

The MTV Real World Slogan asks..."what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real?" Joe Wilson Congressman from South Carolina knows what happens and he got real last night. Thank You Joe Wilson for telling Obama he was lying in view of the entire Nation. We need to stop being polite and start getting real.

Welcome to Washington Ms. Jackson

2009-09-02T06:58:00.000-07:00

Why do we continue to live like this? Why do we allow it? Why have we not had a massive, honest change in the lies that they, they being the government, keep telling us. Our government is based upon a true Con now. Not the Constitution, but a Con and it is really a bunch of Con Artists that run this government with the faith that the fear they impose will force us to comply with their demands.

Last RockfordTeaParty...the end?

2009-09-01T18:45:00.001-07:00

The End of the RockfordTeaParty this year...

Hello Tea Party…well the RockfordTeaParty will hold its last Tea Party of the year on September 12th, but we will be back with more tea parties next year unless something really outlandish happens before the end of this year that requires we mobilize again. I don't know what could happen with this Quirky President and left heavy Congress, but I suppose anything is possible. We along with hundreds of thousands of like minded Americans put up a good fight in the American tradition of peaceful protests and vigorous conversations and disagreements. They heard us but rest assured they will probably not heed us. That means starting early next year we will have to put the pressure on and keep it on through the primaries and into the fall elections. It is now time to regroup after one last Tea Party...

We are joining the American Liberty Trail for a protest along Randall Road where an estimated 1000 people plan to join in solidarity with the hundreds of thousands converging on Washington DC on September 12th for the National Tea Party. Thousands of these events will take place across the nation just for those of us who cannot attend the National Tea Party in DC on the 12th. I have included a link to the page below and I only ask that you RSVP to me by this Thursday so I can give the organizers a rough estimate of how many of us will caravan to the site.

http://www.libertytrail9-12.com/

We will leave from the Clock Tower at 9 am and caravan 50 minutes to Randall Road and I90 where the organizers are mapping out a position for us. Bring your Tea Party Signs. The Actual Tea Party Trail that stretches from Crystal Lake to North Aurora on Randall Road starts at 11 pm.

If you cannot make it to the National Tea Party this is the last opportunity of the year to make your voice heard with the RockfordTeaParty at the American Liberty Trail. Although this event won’t take place in Rockford, it is just as important to join with our brothers and sisters in the suburbs to tell all who can see and hear that the Tea Party movement is alive and is not going anywhere.

The RockfordTeaParty will have two more Northern Illinois Voter Education Forums this year and will continue its public visibility on the airwaves at WROK and WNTA but we will end our public protests for the year with the American Liberty Trail. For all those who have missed the two previous events we hope you can attend this momentous and historic event.

On September 9th we will meet to plan our mission to Randall Road and to listen to Military Historian and Lecturer Steve Literral. We will most likely meet again at the Rockford Public Library. I will let you know by Thursday where and when. Steve will spend some time teaching us about God and the American Revolution and the origins of the Boston Tea Party. This is part of the Northern Illinois Voter Education Forum Series on educating ourselves and studying current events in order to answer the difficult questions of our day. Education is one mission of the Tea Party and we can all benefit from that education.

Participate in the life of your nation with the RockfordTeaParty

American Liberty Trail

2009-08-28T18:14:00.000-07:00

The RockfordTeaPArty will participate with Tea Parties and 9-12 Groups in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago in the American Liberty Trail for all those folks who cannot travel to Washington DC for the National Tea Party Events. Please copy and paste the following link to your browser to read all the details of the event.

http://www.libertytrail9-12.com

The site of the event is just under 50 minutes from Rockford and it will be a truly exciting day with many peripheral events planned. Please RSVP ASAP so we can secure our place on Randall Road.

The American Liberty Trail is a non-partisan coalition event conceived to create as much public awareness as possible of conservative ideals and values through the messages of the participating groups.

It is an event for those who wish they could go to Washington DC for the 9-12 March on Washington but for whatever circumstances, can't make the trip. The spirit of this event is intended to parallel that of the Washington event, and to be a "sister" event of that one.

It is an event to rekindle awareness of the freedoms all Americans as guaranteed by the Constitution.

It is a peaceful event of unity to share with, and to educate the inquiring public, the concepts of fair taxation, responsible spending, and the protection of the free enterprise system and conservative values.

The primary sponsor, Illinois Tea Party Patriots, cordially invites other conservative groups to participate in this event.

If there is any doubt about what this event is and why it is, please look at this link...from 8/24...it refers to how Obama intends to desicrate 9/11. It is pitiful, and ought to totally aggravate any decent American

http://spectator.org/archives/2009/08/24/obamas-plan-to-desecrate-911

The Randall Road event site is 27.77 miles long according to Mapquest. This is from the starting point at Ackeman Road/Randall Road to the North (Crystal Lake), to Oak St./Randall Road to the South (North Aurora). The event will be in 14 jurisdictions and along the route are multiple public areas such as shopping centers, malls, churches, service centers, etc., as well as several areas of open land, some quite extended. The route is being broken down into 1/2 mile mapped segments, and each segment map will include landmarks and/or intersections for the beginning and ending point of each segment. Once the mapping process is completed, each participating group will be able to choose those section(s) they want to participate in on a first come, first served basis (and this holds true for those joining in before the mapping is completed). Larger groups of 100 participants or more will be asked to take multiple segments. To clarify a matter, towns in which there are existing groups located will be the towns where those groups will set up if they so choose, regardless of when they sign on.

Democrats and the Tea Party

2009-08-26T20:00:00.000-07:00

--While reading this understand that the word Democrat is very similar to the words Statist, Leftist, Liberal. They are all very similar in principal. There are even some Republicans who fall into this category.--

So what have democrats done for us lately? How's that "bring the democrats into the Tea Party" working out for some folks? While some are trying to be Bi-Partisan, A-Partisan, Non-Partisan, all inclusive, party neutral, party aversive and Continental Congressy, we are losing our country. Well except for the "sleeping giant" that supposedly woke up, you know the one we hope doesn't fall back to sleep once the media quits talking about Healthcare.

Recall with me back to the weeks and months leading up to the April 15th Tea Parties. The media was agogg with wild eyed stories of angry reborn Bostonians across America who were ready teach them Torries a lesson and dump, throw, lobb or toss tea into whatever body of water they could find.

We were truly worked up into a frenzy, and when the moment came to do with the tea what we wanted, it was a solemn moment, a patrio-religious experience caught across the nation by the one-eyed monsters that created us. Then nothing.

A group of Tea Partiers met here in Rockford after the Tea Parties, and all agreed that the furor over the Tea Party would not be snuffed out and that surely the nation would retain the fever pitch that had erupted, but they were wrong. It significantly melted. Except for those serious about true change. For those who have been diligent you are to be saluted.

Now once again there's furor, in town halls, but that furor over Helthcare is fading fast already, and soon enough, just when we think it is safe to take a little nap, the Democrat controlled Congress will explode a bill just as if they had shot us in our sleep. It happened with Cap and Trade. It may happen with healthcare to. If they can finish it before December, our abbreviated memories will graciously forget their backstabbing, and Americans will go to the polls and re-elect those to Congress who have no compunction about shooting us in the back while we sleep.

And that brings me to the Democratic Party. The anti-American party that continues to vote for their Kings and Queens with true reckless abandon while we all sit around debating whether or not the Tea Party can sustain a democratic infusion or worse yet how we can create a democratic infusion as if infusing Gold with Tin would make the Gold more valuable.

My guess is that most democrats support the current administration and its progress, and that is less of a guess than it is a sustainable intellectual argument based at least on polling. Most polls show Barack Obama with about 50 percent approval ratings. After all that has happened this year, he still has 50 percent approvals. Should I go through a list of his treachery before attempting to convince all reading this that Democrats are nearly impossible to change?

He's appointed various Communists, Terrorists and Eugenic Humanists to various high positions throughout his administration. He just appointed the former CEO of the AFL-CIO to the New York Federal Reserve. He has a guy on his staff who co-founded a Eco-Green-Fringe Group with the guy that Co-Founded the Weather Underground.

He has quadrupled the deficit in just eight months and now experts are telling the American people that the unemployment rate is more closer to 16 percent than it is to the 9.5 percent he claims it to be. Add that to the the national debt which included a bankrupt social security in the 10's of trillions, bankrupt medicare in the 10's of trillions, and the general national debt with includes about 10 trillion.

All this in just eight short months. And the record treachery and corruption could continue its revelations. Yet he retains a 50 percent approval rating. Guess what, those are not fiscally responsible, limited government, limited tax people that are approving that approval rating. That is his base. Those are democrats. And all the Continental Congresses in the world ain't going to change that.

The argument goes that it is the globalists that put him into power and not the rank and file democrats and if they only knew then they would vote him out. I sincerely doubt there is a democrat alive who is not a globalist.

For anyone that thinks 150 million Americans are ready to revolt you are truly living the high life. There are not even 50 million. There may be 5 million who truly are willing to act with their voice right now. Most Americans will not speak up let alone march on Washington to protest. Most Americans will speak with their vote. This is why the 2010 Elections are so critical to our survival.

So when people chide me for not being more inclusive of democrats, for not attempting to infuse democrats into the RockfordTeaParty, for not trying to make nice with Democrats to make them feel comfortable with their political choices, remember who put this burden on our backs. Convincing them that they are Americans in the way we mean American is a true exercise in futility. We are the people yes, but we are not the American people, because one America is truly of the belief that the Constitution is a chameleon. And another American people truly believe that the Constitution is written in stone and forever.

We will take America back one prodigal at a time. The prodigals that voted Obama into office. The Philistines never converted to the Jewish way of life, they were finally removed from the land of David by exile 500 years before Christ. Its those people who were duped by Obama and sickened by Bush during this past election cycle that would normally vote fiscally responsible, limited government, limited taxation that we must bring home to sanity. Many of them refused to even vote. Its those people that believed Barack Obama was a good Christian fellow who was going to unite the races and feed the poor and clothe the naked and provide healing for the sick that voted for him in the hopes of bringing harmony to our fractured nation. How many of them thought he was a savior-esqe figure? More than we know.

Converting democrats won't work. They are solidly behind their President. We must reach those who are reachable. Once we have reached the reachable and given them grace and welcomed them home to their sanity, we can begin to pull the nation back to responsible ideas that made us great to include the elimination of the 16th Amendment but that is another story.

Seperation of Church and State Myth

2009-08-26T06:54:00.000-07:00

(This list is by no means exhaustive; many other Founders could be included, and even with those who appear below, additional quotes could have been used.) to see more follow this link:

http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=8755

John Adams

SIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE; JUDGE; DIPLOMAT; ONE OF TWO SIGNERS OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS; SECOND PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.1

The Holy Ghost carries on the whole Christian system in this earth. Not a baptism, not a marriage, not a sacrament can be administered but by the Holy Ghost. . . . There is no authority, civil or religious – there can be no legitimate government but what is administered by this Holy Ghost. There can be no salvation without it. All without it is rebellion and perdition, or in more orthodox words damnation.2

The Christian religion is, above all the religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of wisdom, virtue, equity and humanity.4

Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. . . . What a Eutopia – what a Paradise would this region be!5

I have examined all religions, and the result is that the Bible is the best book in the world.6

John Quincy Adams

SIXTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES; DIPLOMAT; SECRETARY OF STATE; U. S. SENATOR; U. S. REPRESENTATIVE; “OLD MAN ELOQUENT”; “HELL-HOUND OF ABOLITION”

My hopes of a future life are all founded upon the Gospel of Christ and I cannot cavil or quibble away [evade or object to]. . . . the whole tenor of His conduct by which He sometimes positively asserted and at others countenances [permits] His disciples in asserting that He was God.7

In the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior. The Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity.9

Samuel Adams

SIGNER OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE; “FATHER OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION”; RATIFIER OF THE U. S. CONSTITUTION; GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS

I conceive we cannot better express ourselves than by humbly supplicating the Supreme Ruler of the world . . . that the confusions that are and have been among the nations may be overruled by the promoting and speedily bringing in the holy and happy period when the kingdoms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ may be everywhere established, and the people willingly bow to the scepter of Him who is the Prince of Peace.12

Ghadaffi Coming to America

2009-08-26T06:36:00.000-07:00

This story is the extreme of contradictions and Irony. Just days ago Ghadaffi welcomed home the bomber/murderer who killed 100's of Americans in what we all now know as the "Locekerbie Bombing." Within days Ghadaffi is going to visit the UN in New York City and stay at a residence about 12 miles away in New Jersey. Residents of the city he plans to stay in are apparently outraged and also apparently unable to stop him. He can go where he pleases since he is a foreign leader. What would our Founders think about this? To make matters worse the city of Englewood, New Jersey has to pay for his security. Can there be any doubt that we are a fully compromised nation?

JOCOSOB: ANGELO HAS THE WEEKEND

Your Grand Pappy's Tax Code

2009-04-03T06:35:00.001-07:00

Vintage and tradition are wonderful anchors in life. When you went fishing as child with your grandfather, he'd hook a worm for bait and sit quietly waiting, there is something warm and safe and gratifyingly secure about him never changing. You could always count on your pappy being the same forever. He would never change, and you never wanted him to change.

Anchors in life and relationships are the core of what makes us happy. But some anchors in life can turn out to be bad. If we still used an abacus to calculate numbers that would be bad. If we still used a black and white TV that had one of those dial tuners to change channels that would be bad. And so it is with our current tax code.

Continuing to use the current method of taxation is a tradition that has served its purpose run its course and is now a bad thing. Your grand pappy was ok with that form of taxation it anchored his life. It was how America paid the bills, and folks like your grand pappy were happy to surrender their blood, sweat and tears to keep America running. Yet America’s tax code has become abusive, and in this technologically advanced culture we live in, which itself will be vintage in 50 years, we the American people need a fair tax code that equally and efficiently pays for government.

The American tax code is more than 50 thousand pages long with intricacies that even an advanced civilization from another planet may not be able to interpret even if they had telepathic powers. The chief financial officer of the United States Government Timothy Geitner was even confounded by the tax code when he failed to file taxes on income. It almost derailed his nomination to the position.

In America today we all want simple living similar to that which our grand pappy’s enjoyed, out on a fishing boat hooking a worm, catching a fish. The development and use of technology has helped to bring us closer to that while increasing our knowledge far beyond that of our ancestors.

Yet we remain burdened by an inefficient, costly, ineffective, heavy handed tax code that must go the way of the black and white TV. It is from an era far older than the black and white TV. It is nothing like the depth and warm, safe, gratifying security of your grand pappy. It is time to cut this anchor and give the American tax code an honorable burial and renew our faith in our government by instituting a new and Fair Tax that taxes consumption.

It is time to pass HR 25 and turn America into the efficient economic super engine that can truly change the world. America lead the world is slipping, and now we need to lead again by adopting a new tax code that changes the world.

Rockford Tea Party

2009-02-25T20:15:00.000-08:00

I OBJECT! THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS GONE TOO FAR AND TAKEN TOO MUCH. On April 14, 2009 we at RockfordTeaParty will make our grievances known not only here in Rockford but also to the United States Government.

Our Objections to the American Tax Code will be presented to various leaders peacefully. We will be heard. We are looking for 10,000 people who also object. We are not Fair Taxers, we are not Flat Taxers, we are not no Taxers. We are Tax Objectors, which is not tax avoiders, or tax cheaters. We pay our Taxes. We pay to much.

Taxes must be reduced. Government waste fraud and abuse must be reduced. We will be heard. Join the RockfordTeaParty. Details on the event will be coming here soon.

We'll meet behind the Rockford Public Library on the banks of the Rock River at 1:00 pm until 3:30 pm. Please only bring loose leaf tea. No tea bags, no bottles of tea or bottles or cans of any kind. Please bring interesting creative and appropriate signs and flags.
