From Tea Parties to The 912 Project, Americans Are Challenging The Government

August 21, 2009

Harlingen, Texas, August 17, 2009: Be it the Tea Party gatherings, or a 912 Movement that will march on Washington, Americans are at the end of their patience in dealing with a government that is running amuck.

In Sacramento, California citizens have formed a national “Tea Party Express” that will be conducting a series of 35 tea party rallies across the United States to oppose the Obama Administration’s healthcare proposal. Their caravan will start in California on August 28 and travel eastward arriving at their destination just before a massive 9/12/09 Taxpayer March in Washington D.C. Television ads will be run in advance of the 35 rallies as the Tea Party Express travels across the country.

Charter buses have been arranged for Tea party members heading for Washington from Richmond, Virginia. By the first day of August four bus loads of protesters had been confirmed and many more people were expected to sign up for the trip to the Capitol.

Rio Grande Valley Tea Partiers will fly to Washington. Protest marchers from Arizonian, Wyoming, Iowa, Montana, North Dakota and Hawaii have also reported they are planning to be in Washington for the big event.

In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas three tea party organizations have been formed that are drawing large crowds in the cities of McAllen, Harlingen and Brownsville. This is taking place in what is considered the only area in Texas dominated by the Democrat Party.

If the emails copied to this office are correct, hundreds upon hundreds of Americans have been reporting themselves to the White House enemies list. They have been very detailed about speaking out on what they find wrong about our government.

This writer and other writers of political commentary have joined those who speak out disapprovingly about what is going on in Washington. We have been making sure our articles were also sent to the White House

. Those groups speaking out for constitutional government have also been among the masses sending emails of protest to the “fishy comment” address of flag@whitehouse.gov. Sadly, that address, it was announced today, has now been removed from the White House website. This means Americans must find another means of addressing their displeasure.

Glenn Beck’s 912 Project is also heavily involved in the Taxpayer March.
The television commentator’s movement calls upon Americans to restore the nation’s true values, including the goodness of the country, belief in God, honesty, family, justice, hard work, and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Beck and Fox News Channel plan to cover the 9-12-09 marches on Washington.

Tea Party Patriots are planning to gather at the Hyatt Hotel on Capitol Hill. The overflow crowds will be quartered at nearby Liaison and Washington Court Hotels.

Of course, the Democrat leadership is still attempting to denigrate all of the anti-government actions taking place. With their attacks on groups and individuals, they are not diminishing the movement, but instead are adding fuel to the flames. It will be very interesting to observe the culmination of all these events when the march takes place in our nation’s Capitol on September 12, 2009.

Obama is certainly a very skilled community organizer - he has “organized” and energized the opposition more than i dreamed possible!

If you want to hear what COULD have been the theme song for the Tea Party Express- go to “goodguysusa.com” and listen to “We The People”. It was wriiten by a couple of out of work contractors from SW Florida (I’m one of them) It’s music FOR conservatives BY conservatives. I’ve spoken with Levi. He and his people really liked the song, I just got it to them too late to be worked into the program. While you’re there, check out “Stand” and “The Good Guys” (which Neal Boortz played on his program last fall) We DESPERATELY need the help of the online community to spread the word about our music. We want nothing more than to be a conservative songwriting factory, but for that to happen, “We The People” has to get some traction. If anyone out there wants a free mp3 of it to use at their local Tea Party, etc., let me know and I’d be happy to send it to you. We’re totally dependant on the goodwill of like-minded patriots. We’re as grassroots as it gets- no management,no backing, and no money. Hope to hear from LOTS of you soon. You can email me at “perfectionplus@embarqmail.com” or thru the “Good Guys” website. Thanks- Mark

You may already have heard this but....thought I’d share....

Today on Fox show, with John Scott, a Democrat Congressman (can’t recall his State) said those who support Mr. Obama’s heathcare plan will be urged to March on Washington on Sept 13.

I thought boy are they slick...the media will see all the extra people in D.C. with the Tea Party Express and report they’re people supporting heathcare ....or the Dems are looking to ‘engage’ those who disagree with Mr. Obama’s policies.

Hey FReepers,

My group, Public Advocate of the US, is going to be protesting at the DC Tea Party on Sept 12th. We’ll be handing out 2,000 Gadsden flags to fellow Conservatives just like Kenneth Gladney did before he was pounded by Union thugs. If anyone wants a 4x6 in “don’t tread on me flag” send a message of support and your mailing address to info@publicadvocateusa.org. Also, if any of you want to march with us we’ll give you a larger Gadsden flag to fly high for free, just send an e-mail to the same address. We’ve been defending Mr. Gladney; click here to see our demonstration in front of the White House http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42ImOl1krB4
