Our elected representatives no longer look to the Constitution as the blueprint for freedom. They no longer listen to the people who have elected them. They lie, they cheat, they promise anything and everything to get elected and then forget us. Yes, there are exceptions but they are few.
So, when you vote, choose who or what you vote for very carefully. YOUR vote does count. Use it wisely.

There is a terrific book out titled "The 5,000 Year Leap" that I highly recommend. It chronicles the words and actions of our Founding Fathers as to how they created the Constitution. Their own words reveal the conflicts, the decision making process, and books and words that inspired them.
In better knowing these incredible men, we can appreciate the document that has inspired freedom around the world. We are the only country in the world where people still line up for years to get in and enjoy the freedoms that no other country offers.
Think about that when you hear others, both here and abroad, speaking ill of the United States of America.

One last thing, it's time to speak up. For much too long the conservatives in this country have turned the other cheek when criticized by the opposition. For much too long we have let them determine the rules of the debate.
If someone is a lying, call them a liar. If someone is a cheat, let it be told. If someone is immoral, tell it like it is. Unless we stand-up for that which we believe, we lose. We personally need to applaud those that do the right thing. As the Tea Party Patriots we cannot endorse or oppose any candidate, but as a citizen we can...and should.
Sincerely,
Stan Meckler, President
