The problem is the federal government has become an oppressive leviathan - much of it unconstitutional. How do you fight that when this growth is even supported by many states and is further supported by the media?

During the nationwide tea party yesterday, where tax paying citizens peaceably assembled to voice their concerns with this very growth and abuse by the .gov, they were mocked by their government, mocked by their elected leaders and mocked by the media.

It starts with just you folks did. It starts with a movement. It starts with public awareness. You weren’t alone out there. Democrats came out and joined you. There may have only be 5 to 30% of them out there, but they were out there.

You build on this. You awaken people and explain to them what our founding was all about. You explain our rights to them. You turn them on to good reading materials.

Folks, it’s embarrassing to say this, but our side has been reticent to spread the good message. The Dems are out there selling the leftist bilge all the time. Where is our army? When was the last real drive to register new Republicans?

When was the last time you heard your local officials sounding like our founding fathers? Hell, as often as not they sound more like dufus wanna be Democrats themselves.

I don’t accept that this nation is lost. Ronald Reagan would never accept it.
