Election Day Notes....

Patriots,

We received this in an email yesterday from two of our national coordinators for the Tea Party Patriots, Jenny Beth Martin & Mark Meckler. Jenny Beth & Mark were in MA for Brown's earth shattering victory and below are some of their thoughts....

From Jenny Beth --

Tea Party Patriots and others involved in the tea party movement have asked Congress to listen to us. In the past year, we, the people, have demanded accountability. We, the people, demanded principled leadership. And, we, the people, demanded that our elected officials represent us.

It is so appropriate that the American liberty movement started in the Boston Harbor in December, 1773 with the Boston Tea Party. Today, we carry on the tradition of tea parties in the spirit of our founding fathers. We carry it on in the birthplace of the American liberty movement. The birthplace of the original tea party patriots. The birthplace of American patriots.

Like our founding fathers, we are ordinary citizens. Tea Party Patriots today are ordinary citizens reclaiming America's founding principles. More....

And from Mark --

Everyone who watches the news knows what’s taking place here in Massachusetts and what’s at stake as far as future policy and legislation. But what most people don’t get the chance to do is to actually feel what’s in the air here in the cradle of American history. So I wanted to travel to Boston to touch the moment, firsthand, and to share that experience with people who can’t be here. Last night I boarded a redeye from the west coast, and I exited just hours later in the midst of one of the seminal battles of the Second American Revolution.

I can tell you with certainty, a political buzz is definitely in the air. From the time I got off the plane in Boston, the elections were the topic du jour on almost everyone’s lips. More...

I think we can agree from their comments, we are all part of something special. Thanks Mark & Jenny Beth!

For all of our members.... I hope you see that YOU really are the Heart & Soul of the Tea Party Patriots!

Democrats De-Form Health Care Re-form

After Coakley conceded the U.S. Senate Race in MA last night, some of the Democrats quickly issued statements on what their next steps should be on the current Health Care Reform fight.

After hearing the "Scott" heard round the world, ultra-liberal Rep. Barney Frank issued the following statement.....

“I have two reactions to the election in Massachusetts. One, I am disappointed. Two, I feel strongly that the Democratic majority in Congress must respect the process and make no effort to bypass the electoral results. If Martha Coakley had won, I believe we could have worked out a reasonable compromise between the House and Senate health care bills. But since Scott Brown has won and the Republicans now have 41 votes in the Senate, that approach is no longer appropriate.

I am hopeful that some Republican Senators will be willing to discuss a revised version of health care reform because I do not think that the country would be well-served by the health care status quo. But our respect for democratic procedures must rule out any effort to pass a health care bill as if the Massachusetts election had not happened.

Going forward, I hope there will be a serious effort to change the Senate rule which means that 59 votes are not enough to pass major legislation, but those are the rules by which the health care bill was considered, and it would be wrong to change them in the middle of the process.”

Boy, it sounds as if Frank is starting to get it!

Sen. Jim Webb issued this statement pretty much putting to rest any questions on the certification of Scott Browns victory....

In many ways the campaign in Massachusetts became a referendum not only on health care reform but also on the openness and integrity of our government process. It is vital that we restore the respect of the American people in our system of government and in our leaders. To that end, I believe it would only be fair and prudent that we suspend further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is seated. (Politico)

It will be very interesting to see how the Health Care bill plays out.... will they finally listen to the American people or will they arrogantly continue trying to ram through health care which as we see, some of the Dems strongest supporters are starting to back away from?

Brown Wins MA!

MSNBC Shows Integrity?

And they call Fox News biased....

Tom Ganley coming to Lakewood,Ohio

Beware: Facebook giving personal information to the White House

During his tenure as Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover routinely spied on U.S. citizens who were speaking out against the government -- Dr. Martin Luther King being one of them. It looks like Facebook co-founder, Chris Hughes, has been and still is, like a current day Hoover without a badge for President Obama and his Czarministration.

Participating in the White House Forum on Modernizing Government, which supposedly seeks to improve government efficiency, Hughes has admitted using Face Book for the same purpose -- spying on U.S. citizens....

"There should be a real focus on metrics and analytics," he said. "I don't think there's anything that's been more core to the success of Facebook and the Obama campaign than knowing up front and as quickly as possible what individuals are doing."

At any given moment during the campaign, he said, "we knew how many people were active in any given state or congressional district ... we could see what people were excited about, what stirred them."

He's stayed in touch with White House officials that he worked closely with on the campaign.... (The Hill.com)

And many Democrats, and some Republicans, thought unwarranted wire taps on suspected terrorists & the Patriot Act violated their privacy and took away their rights! I guess knowing who plays "Whoville" & "Farmville" is now considered a national security threat. Who'd a thunk it!

As we know, some people have been SCREAMING that a more free market & private-sector approach and way of thinking would only improve government operations and efficiency -- but that is material for another post.

Improving technology and learning techniques for improving efficiency from successful private sector companies is not a bad thing for the snail-like effect imposed on operations and/or programs by inefficient government bureaucracy. But it appears the White House Forum on Modernizing Government is nothing more than a thinly veiled cloak for a much larger increase of "Big Brother" government using the private sector and modern technology to gain knowledge on your personal information, purchasing habits, hobbies, trends & your thoughts. Or as in Hughes & Facebook's case -- a proxy spy agency for Obama's presidential campaign and now his Czarministration.

Watergate was only a hotel break-in, what Hughes & Facebook has done for is like having someone breaking in tour house and rummaging through your underwear drawer!

Speaking of underwear.... what should make Facebook Gate even more alarming is that DHS Director Janet Napalitano & the current Czarministration feel Tea Party Patriots, 9.12er's, our returning soldiers & Marines, and other U. S. citizens exercising our God given & Constitutionally protected rights are extremists and warrant being investigated -- but Fruit-of-Kaboom jihadikaze's trying to blow up airplanes are just spiffy!

Besides Hughes admitting Facebook is the government's black book on citizens, most of the current Internet search engines track and retain your IP addresses along with a history of your search requests and the links you visit. There is a current Internet search engine, StartPage.com that does not track your searches and acts as a proxy server.

The Tea Party Patriots have a fairly new Social Networking page (Click Here) where you can be assured that your information will never be shared with anyone. This is also a great place to meet Tea Party Patriot members from other states and see what other TPP groups are doing.
