Saturday I had the pleasure to attend a “Tea Party” event which was held in Gainesville. I didn’t know much about the group and after reading news articles and their site I was still confused about them. So my intention was to meet them in person to watch their actions and come to a conclusion about their intents.

The part that shocked me at this event was all of the different political groups that were represented there. I really doubt they refused anybody. From my understanding they wish to supply all information possible they can obtain to inform the public so the public can make a choice based on facts. In all fairness, I did not see any groups that support a democratic or liberal view point. Although I do believe they would be welcome at the event.

There was some political incumbent speakers, but none had a booth for the public to inquire about there stance on issues. I did notice after their speech they did leave the event. Something I would deem a “bad move” on their part.

In conclusion, I would say I support their actions based on what I had seen. I believe they support the people and not a political theme. I hope in the future they remember there is more to Florida than the Gainesville area.

Saturday I was honored and allowed to stand with a group of people who paid for a billboard on I-75 in Lake City which express their feelings towards our government. Everybody in this picture gave their personal money towards this sign which will be up until November 2010. Many more did contribute but they were not available to be at this picture taking event.

Government needs to wake up and realize that the people are no longer allowing them to be our masters. The people control this country and if the politicians elected in to office go against the true masters of this country (We The People). They will be bitten, funds will be cut and they will have to get normal jobs in the real world.

My advice to government: You are servants to the people. Your job is to do their bidding, not create their problems. Your true bosses are mad and will be doing a restructuring in management. Look for a new job in the mess you have created.

Something I have noticing lately that has me concerned. Why are the major political parties not quoting their respected hero’s?

For the Democrats they’ve always use J.F.K. and the Republicans have used either Lincoln or Reagan. I’ve been watching political ads from both parties and have attended many political functions of both parties. Neither of them have spoke nor quoted these famous men.
Personally, I have always been fond of Reagan because he was “The Boss” to me when I served in the Navy and he has always been a strong supporter and defender of the Constitution. The one thing that has alway stayed with me is when we in the military screwed up, he took the blame. That man would always say “I gave the order to actions, it is my fault it failed.” By this action he has been in my top 5 people I have the greatest respect for.

Now days I see things that I personally would never do and it disgust me that it is happening. Presidents bowing to leaders, chief of staff calling people in their own party “F—ing retarded”, politicians going against the wishes of their people they represent, political party members talking down to the voters.
This has to come to an end.

Could you even imagine Kennedy or Reagan doing or saying any of these things? The one thing I have notice more is that many political leaders and candidates we have now are nothing like our hero’s. They use polling numbers and lies to try to convince you they are the smartest and know what we need. The sad part is: they are not elected to do that, they are elected to represent the people in a given area and to work for those people. Carrying out the wishes of those people.
They are our servants, not our masters.

I was laughing to myself in a meeting the other day when I heard a political leader say “we need to show the tea party and 9/12 groups we are there answer and we think like them.” I was thinking, you still don’t get it do you?

November elections will break the mold we are currently in. What you are seeing now is the first step of the giant. Politicians who support or endorse “progressive” actions are in for a rude awaking.
