Here's What's Happening South of the WI Border

Hello Tea Party...

Happy New Year. Its 2010 and clearly things are shaping up for a season of making our voice heard. Thus far a number of key Democratic Senators and Congressmen have decided not to run in their home states. Is that because of the enormous push back by the 10 million plus Tea Partiers across the nation over this past year? Perhaps. But rest assured those Democrats to include one of the key Architects of the Credit Banking Crisis Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut are not leaving without a plan. Rest assured they have fresh democratic candidates without the stain of various levels of corruption waiting in the wings and waiting for their home states to elect them. Rest assured Blue States will likely elect blue/democratic candidates unless the grassroots of the Tea Parties mount an enormous effort at push back to boot them out of office as we all planned to do when we had our first Tea Party.

Last year at this time we were awaiting the Inauguration of the new President. After 8 years of shell shock during the Bush Presidency conservatives were feeling quite like the abused wife unable to get away and stuck in the cycle of abuse. Bush was no Conservative and rode RINO for most of his presidency on domestic policy and in every venue the left took advantage of Bush's supposed credentials to bash conservatives by abusing Bush. Bashing Bush was really proxy for abusing all conservatives for those 8 years. Bush handled it well by caving on every left wing liberal domestic agenda item including taxes by not passing comprehensive tax reform. And now the Bush Tax cuts will no longer apply to any of us when we file this year and we will all see higher taxes because Obama has let them expire.

Obama...what can I say? After all he has done in this past year if you are not irate, angry, incensed, ready to make a real and true change then I am afraid we are lost. Healthcare. Cap and Trade. Trillion Dollar Bailouts. Decreased National Security. Gitmo North. Broken Pledges and promises. Locally, Rockford has the highest unemployment rate in the state and one of the highest in the country. One of the highest crime rates. Property taxes out of control. Schools out of control. Local government continuing to spend like drunken sailors. TAXES are not going away or going down folks. They are going UP!!!

Folks this stuff does matter. When people minimize the impact of our elected leaders on our lives they truly exercise a level of ignorance unprecedented in the world. On January 16th at Memorial Hall RockfordTeaParty will conduct a Voter SPEAKOUT to help inform all of Rockford which candidates are worth supporting. I know many of you reading this email have yet to participate in many of the numerous events the RockfordTeaParty has held throughout this last year and in large part it is because you are Patriots that exercise your Patriotism when it counts and live your lives peacefully and quietly until the time comes to make a difference. This is the time to make a difference! This is the moment to act!

On February 2nd the Illinois Primary takes place and thats an exercise that counts. Voting to place good conservative fiscally responsible, limited government, limited taxation candidates on the November Ballot is an exercise in Patriotism that counts. It is the culmination of a year of pushing back against a rogue, out of control constitutionally ignorant government. I am asking you to please attend the RockfordTeaParty Voter SPEAKOUT as I believe it is the most important event of the entire Tea Party existence. I am also asking you to go and vote in the Primary on Feb. 2nd to give true conservative candidates a real chance at winning in Illinois in November. We cannot let up. We cannot back down. We cannot fade away. We must stand up and use our VOTE as the instrument of REVOLUTION.

Your feedback is welcome!!!
Thank You
David HaleDirector, RockfordTeaParty
