Sgt 1st Class John C. Beale of Riverdale, Georgia graduated from Riverdale High School. He served in the United States Army from 1991 through 1994 and was a veteran of Operation Desert Storm. He later joined the National Guard in 2005 after a strong desire to return to military service. His father is a former sailor and a military career was also Johns goal in life. In his civilian job, he worked for the Clayton County Water Authority. He was also very involved with the authoritys youth programs and liked to participate in career days at local schools.

It's the type of video that steels one's resolve. That man deserves better from the country that sent him to foreign lands than what we have given him.
I have spoken with MANY senior citizens who now regret their blind support for “the Democrat” running for President. (remember social security scares)
Plan to pass some fliers out and give some phone numbers and ask them to use their retired time to GET ACTIVE.
When they find out about mandatory palliative care talks in this bill.....mandated by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - and with a good graphic or two on a flier - could work wonders to get some more phone calls and letters and emails before this dastardly deal is done.
light the lamp in the church tower! Count me in.
It’s incredible .. the heart of America.

POSTER AND TEXT
I am %1000 behind you sir. Now , what do we do , for real , concretely , when they sign this bill? I’m dead serious . I have been calling for civil unrest . I don’t know if that’s what you have in mind.This al has gone way way too far.We need a leader , an organizer, someone who can pull all the anti Obama group who are out there together. Organization is the key. The Left used it and uses it well till today. Ideas , suggestions ?
I will offer money and time to any cause that is serious and AGGRESSIVE
Well said.
I’m with you pal. Time for real revolution. Time for talk is gone. We mush appear at offices and door ways in HUGE HUGE numbers and put unbearable pressure on those in office who will abuse us .We need a leader and organization. There are 1000 Tea party Groups out there all fighting amongst themselves. We need to fly under one banner. Target specific people , specific issues and make HUGE headlines . Time to take to the streets.
It’s like a tea party on Potlatch’s page. I recognize that unique flag on the right~~
please add me to your supporters as it is an honor to be amongst the many here.
My only regret is the characterization of all Democrats as evil. I would prefer to think of the wrongs being foisted on this country are by liberals (read socialists) that think with their feelings and many Americans that let liberals think for them baited by poison promises.
Socialism is truly a social disease that is allowed to fester under the guise of truth by our misguided Main Stream Media.
I fear we have some years to go before America either succumbs totally or there is blood in the streets.
Because our beloved country is turned upside down we are well on the way to socialism while ironically socialist countries want to shed socialism.
I pray each night for America asking God to remove self serving power hungry despotic leaders and replace them with God fearing selfless leaders. Is it too late in America for congressional term limits?
Is it really only the wealthy that are given the opportunity to rule the people? This, along with many other ideas the Constitutional framers envisioned seemingly have gone by the wayside.
What, and when will the answer be apparent? I am afraid the sheeple have become complacent with ineptitude on the part of our leaders. The idea of a newly born common sense party seems to be getting further out of reach.
Once again Jim thank you for Free Republic and allowing me to be a part.
Words are good but we need to begin talking about the “how to’s” of changing the direction of the government. One of the first things we need to work out is a definitive plan regarding the existence of ACORN and COI.
Call this a “trickle up” discussion as in “Kill the roots.”
I agree,but how do you get the attention of people who consider you less than nothing?An armed insurrection may be the only answer,but how do you assemble freedom-lovers from across the vast expanses of this country?I’m 60 years old and not afraid to raise arms in defense of our country.But how do you succeed when all the cards are stacked against you?
Maybe by finding like minded folks on-line & joining together as a start?

Excellent Jim, I am with you all the way.
