TEA PARTY AMERICANA - WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Happy for the interuption my FRiend. I am glad to be posting. I am still in some pretty significant rehab...but [ropgressing. Life will never be the same for me, but the Lord has chosen to preserve my life in a fairly dramatic way and I count each day as a special gift from Him. I intend to make the best of each one of them for His kingdom, for my family, and for our beloved Republic.

You're going to make me cry, Jeff. As long as we trust in Him, we'll be ok. Keep reminding all of us.

I’m conflicted because I want to go to Glenn Beck’s Honor rally on 8/28 and I want to go to the 9/12 rally. Either way I would have to find a ride and a place to stay overnight. I’m just one old lady. I get around like a 20 year old, but I can’t see to drive that far. If I could I would not hesitate to drive myself up there, but I would probably kill somebody trying to drive on that Beltway. I wish somebody would come through here on I-64 through Huntington. I have a van that someone could drive for me. Push come to shove, two or three could sleep in it (married couple or ladies only of course) LOL.

My take: Protesting, demonstrations, and the electoral process is pretty much dead.

I've been calling out for sometime for STATES' RIGHTS, but few on this board bother to respond. I firmly believe it is our last resort and only power, we as the people, have to return to the promise of our Founding Fathers and their principles:

STATES' RIGHTS! If just 5 or so States stand firm on the 9th and 10th Amendments, which is starting to happen, then just maybe we have a chance.

The above is where the grassroots should be building - not more general demonstrations on The Mall. While admiring their good intentions, they have done little to nothing to curtail the encroaching socialism against our Constitutional heritage. The elites in DC simply ignore such efforts, along with the their MSM supporters. They need to focus on where the true power is.

People on this forum ignore me because I'm no longer a supporter of "marches". Did their gatherings stop "tarp"; "fedgov takeover of GM et al?"; "stimulas package"? "obamacare"? "financial reform"? Will they stop "cap and tax" (EPA is already looking at a work around)? Will their signs stop Obama from using Executive privilege from signing an order for a backdoor amnesty? Well, maybe to the last one, since we stopped it before, but then was during the Bush administration. I highly doubt such opposition will stop the obama,reid,pelosi marxists.

The elites are determined to push every socialist/marxist program on us until next January, providing they lose the House. Even then, I'm not sure the Repubs have built enough cojones to fight the encroachment by defunding. The socialists are smart in knowing that it will be difficult, if not impossible to reverse their course.

Unfortunately, we are way past marching around with signs. You know better than most that I have been there and done that. It worked for awhile when the elite in DC would actually care years back. No longer.

STATE NULLIFICATION and state amendments/legislation is the only way back. Search my posts on FR regarding States' Rights.

Glad to see you up and around.
