Dear Tea Party Patriots:
Update 5/31/11
Aggressive liberal states like Vermont
produce a tremendous opportunity to be exhibit A of why all states need to
learn what will not work. The first lesson in economics is: “There are
never enough resources to meet everyone’s desires.” The first lesson
in politics is: “Ignore the first lesson of economics.” It’s
all about CENTRALIZED POWER AND CONTROL. They know it won’t work, but
they promise what they know they can’t deliver hoping those who want
entitlements will willfully trade their freedom for the myth of government
security. Remember, maximum security is a prison. Their goal is to create
an “entitlement culture” to outnumber those who work. Any time
someone gets something he didn’t work for, someone else has to work
for something he didn’t get.
Watching the movie, “Gettysburg”
this weekend, it is important for all Americans to remember the price our
country has paid for freedom. We fought centralized planning and a monarchy
because the majority would rather be dead than live in slavery Whether it’s
economic slavery, or slavery based on race, it’s all a form of slavery
by those who believe we live in a zero sum game. Capitalism believes we can
make bigger pies, and more pie, not that everyone should get a sliver of
pie based on what central planners want to divide up. It’s like taking
the water from one end of a swimming pool and pouring it in the other.
That’s why socialism is the redistribution of misery. Trickle up poverty
doesn’t work and never has. They are depending on the brainwashing of
a generation of students and welfare recipients who love entitlements. We
have a lot of educating to do so we must never give up. Never grow weary
in well-doing.

Tea Party News Release:
Update 5/17/11

TEA PARTY ATTACKS GINGRICH,
ROMNEY, R.I.N.O.’s
Special National Statement of William
Temple
Chairman, Tea Party Founding Fathers;
Chairman, Freedom Jamboree & Tea Party National Straw Poll Convention
On Location in Kansas City, Kansas
On Sunday, former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich attacked the Medicare plan of current House Speaker John Boehner
and his Budget chief, Paul Ryan. Mr. Gingrich said the Boehner-Ryan plan
is “too big a jump.” Mr. Gingrich called it “radical
change.” Like President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Mitt Romney,
Mr. Gingrich also favors forcing mandatory health insurance upon American
citizens. They all quibble about whether states or the federal government
should do the imposing, but they would all use the power of government to
force Americans to buy a product they may not wish to buy. This is tyranny.
Mr. Gingrich, who seems not to mind
“radical change” in his domestic life, is simply wrong about the
Boehner-Ryan Medicare plan. It is not “radical”; it is tame as
a pussy cat. The Boehner-Ryan Medicare plan is to fix Medicare and Medicaid
sometime way off in the future, in the sweet bye and bye. While Obama, Gingrich,
Romney, Pelosi and Reid favor the essential tyranny behind ObamaCare –
forced purchasing of a product – Boehner and Ryan have, up to now, been
content to fiddle while Rome burns with regard to Medicare.
Washington is borrowing 40 cents per
dollar of federal spending, $4 billion per day, to bury our children beneath
a smothering national debt, yet these wimpy House R.I.N.O.’s refuse
to hide President Obama’s Mastercard! Rep. Paul Ryan’s so-called
‘courageous’ budget adds $9 trillion to the U.S. debt and doesn’t
even get balanced until 2063!

Last year, the House Republican minority
joined with the Tea Party to fight furiously against ObamaCare. But once
in power this year, Boehner’s House Republican majority – after
a hollow, purely symbolic repeal vote – were refusing to use their genuine
power to fix ObamaCare, Medicare, Medicaid or any of the other out-of-control
entitlements and abusive Washington spending which threaten to bankrupt our
nation and destroy our currency…
…Until last week! After our May
9 press event at the National Press Club, we started hearing sweet music
from the House and Senate Republican Leadership! Senate President Mitch McConnell
announced that Senate Republicans are now demanding bipartisan reform of
health care entitlements, plus massive cuts in discretionary spending, before
they will even think of raising the debt ceiling.
By the end of the week, Speaker Boehner
seemed to be agreeing that responsible Republicans should fix Medicare and
Medicaid now, not wait until the next millennium, as Mr. Gingrich wants.
But, if House and Senate Republicans are finally starting to see that the
debt ceiling gives them power to demand a bipartisan fix of health entitlements
NOW, why would they not also repeal and replace ObamaCare – the outrage
against our economy and Constitution that the Republicans of 2010 said would
not stand?
Republicans, especially in the House
they control, hold in their hands a W.M.D. – a weapon of mass discipline.
All they need to do is lock arms and say, “Mr. President, we’re
not even going to call a vote on raising the debt ceiling, we won’t
even think about un-hiding your credit card, until you have joined us in
enacting bipartisan entitlement reform and fixing the ObamaCare mess.”
To wield this awesome weapon of mass discipline, House Republicans don’t
need to pass anything. They don’t need the cooperation of Harry Reid,
Senate Democrats or the President. All they need to do is NOTHING, just sit
on their hands and refuse any vote to allow more borrowing beyond the current
debt limit.
Make no mistake: We in the Tea Party
are totally against raising the debt ceiling. So are the American people,
by about two-thirds in national polls! So, the Tea Party plans to score just
one vote in the U.S. House for purposes of candidate ratings. If you vote
to raise the debt ceiling, you get a zero for the whole year. If you don’t
vote to raise the debt ceiling, you score 100. Everything else – from
votes on the budget to riders to repeals to trivial spending cuts -- is just
smoke and mirrors. We will be judging the Republicans and their Democrat
colleagues on one issue only: DID YOU VOTE FOR MORE DEBT?
But, if House and Senate Republicans
will reject the seductive counsel of their previous, failed Republican House
Speaker Mr. Gingrich and truly lead the nation now to fix Medicare, Medicaid,
ObamaCare and our massive national debt, if they will use the WMD of the
debt ceiling to discipline Capitol Hill and the White House PRIOR to a very
small bump in the debt ceiling… we MIGHT miss the 2012 printing deadline
on those legislative scorecards.

Dear Defenders of Liberty:
Update 5/2/11
Have you heard: Osama Bin Laden just
met the ugliest old lady he had ever seen in his life. He said, "Who are
you?" "I thought I was going to live in paradise with 76 virgins." She said,
"No, you mis-understood, it's one 76 year old virgin and my name is Edna
and I'm it."
We may not be at war with Islam, but
Islam is sure at war with us. Don Federer, our last speaker said, "Islam
is a political system and a military system, in addition to being a religious
system, as Mohammed was a political leader and a military leader, as well
as religious leader. Since Mohammed was the perfect Muslim, those who want
to be better Muslims want to be like him, religiously, politically and
militarily!" There ideology is contrary to the Declaration of Independence.
Just because Osama Bin Laden is dead,
does not mean there was no succession plan. Will Durant said, "A great
civilization is never conquered from without until it destroys itself from
within."
Right now the greatest threat to freedom
is the policies of the current administration. Obama Care is a far greater
threat than any outside enemy ever was. That's why I'm forwarding this important
white paper to our tea party leaders. We must remain vigilant. Our nation
is on the verge of economic collapse and our greatest enemy is the socialist
philosophy that centralized power and control will solve our nation's problems.
Forward this white paper to as many friends as you can.

The Case Against President Obama's
Health Care Reform:
A Primer for Nonlawyers
Last week, Cato's Chairman Robert Levy
released a new white paper designed exclusively for nonlawyers:
http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=12972.
This paper addresses the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, which includes a mandate that individuals
either purchase a government- prescribed health insurance policy or pay a
penalty. The Department of Health and Human Services has asserted three
constitutional provisions as sources of authority for the mandate -- the
Taxing Power, the Commerce Clause, and the Necessary and Proper Clause. Each
of those purported sources is deficient, and Levy strips out the legalese
to make a simple, clear case that the new health care law is
unconstitutional.
“Freedom is not free, we don’t
inherit it in our bloodstream. It must be deliberately taught and nutured.
Each generation must fight to preserve it, for it’s never more than
one generation away from extinction.” - Ronald Reagan
