OK I can't sleep until I get this down.
I have never felt that our country was at such a crossroads as it is now. Even 9/11, as horrible as it was, was an external threat. I think that the more imminent threats to our country are internal. And, frankly, they scare me more than Al Quaida.
If you can go to a Tea Party tomorrow, I hopw you will go. I'm going to the one in my city. I never thought I would ever do such a thing but here I am.
If you can't go to a Tea Party, I would ask that you pray for us and for our country. Please pray the God blesses this effort to return our country back to its founding principles.
Pray for all the speakers at all the tea parties across the country, that their words will inspire all of us. Please pray that our elected representatives hear the messages we will be sending tomorrow. Please pray that God gives them wisdom to see the path they have put us on and turn from it. Pray that all our elected representatives hear the words and remember our common heritage of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Pray that our protests are peaceful and without violence. Pray for the safe travels of everyone attending all the tea parties.
Please pray that we can turn our words into action to return this country back to our founding ideals.
Thanks. And God bless America.
Amen.
My concern and it is something the 'rats are counting on is that we will forget and become complacent. We MUST NOT let this happen, our chance is coming in 2010. Vote the incumbents out in Congress! Keep the pressure on. We can do this.
My carload is skipping the Tacoma Mall and going straight to Olympia and be in the Queen's back yard!! See you there!!
Godspeed to the Sons of Liberty.
I’ll be at the Mn. Capitol. Will be praying for all of us.
Be safe, be loud!!!!!!!!
You have hit the nail on the head, “they have to see us”. This is what I was thinking yesterday. We have to put faces behind the letters and emails, to make this real to those in power. I was really sort of ticked off that we have to do this. And I mean we HAVE to do this, at this point in time, while we still CAN do something. I’m looking at it as sort of a second job now.
I think a big tea party in Wash DC at some time when Congress is in town would be extremely hard for them to ignore.
On the steps of the capitol - where they can't ignore 1000's of people....
Pray for the Tea Parties ping for the Richmond folks.
