9/12 Rally
Greetings!

YOUR vote is critical to the future of the
United States of America!

Does that sound a little dramatic? Do you hear yourself saying; "My vote doesn't count?" Do you like the way our country is heading? Do you think America has a brighter future?

Let me tell you what Tea Party Patriots from all over the country are saying. They are saying that we can change the course of the country for the better with this election. That is, if YOU vote.

In Nevada County, only 37% of registered voters filled out a ballot. That is pathetic! How can anyone complain about the problems we face and not vote?

We have prepared our recommendations on all the propositions, which are based on our mission statement.

Look them over and you decide which way you want to vote. Use the following link to download a copy of our recommendations. CA 2010 Proposition Recommendations

There are people that want use to endorse or oppose candidates. It will not happen. You need to do your own research and decide which candidate is fiscally responsible, believes in a limited government, free markets and has respect for the Constitution and Bill of Rights and will answer to the people.

The reason we will not endorse a candidate is simple. Once we endorse a candidate, they don't need us anymore. What if that candidate changes what they promised us for our endorsement? We are stuck with that person and their decisions. It's not worth the risk to our reputation as being non-partisan.

When candidates ask for our endorsement, we tell them that we expect them to endorse the Tea Party Patriots and our mission statement. If you want to endorse any candidate, you are entitled to due so as every citizen has the right to do.

The Board of Directors of your Tea Party Patriots encourages you to use your most sacred right as a citizen of the great nation. Be sure to vote!

One of the fun events that we participate in is the Nevada County Fair. It starts on Wednesday August 11th and runs through 15th. Stop by and say hello to the volunteers that work our booth.

There is an important event coming up on September 12th. It's our Sacramento Tea Party Patriots Rally. Last year it was held at our state capitol. This year it will be held at the McClellan Business Park. One of the reasons it's going to be held there is that this is a multiple state event that includes California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona. This location can handle the very large crowds that we expect. They also have a hotel on the site and plenty of $5 parking. See details in the flyer at the end of this newsletter.

We have also ordered busses for our Nevada County people to take you there and back. If you are interested in taking a bus, please email us at elaine@mecklermail.com Send us your name, number of tickets you wish to order, and your phone number. The cost for round-trip tickets will be $20. More information on the busses will follow.

Our next $5 lunch will be held on Friday, August 27th at the Grass Valley Elks Lodge. Our guest speaker is Steve Greenhut, the Director of the Pacific Research Institute. He is an author and well-known speaker. See his resume below. It will be another very interesting luncheon.

Remember, this is your organization. Your contributions in time and money are what keep us strong and growing, and we need both. If you can volunteer a couple of hours a week, it helps a lot. If you can contribute any amount of money, that helps us put on these great events and pays for the literature that we hand out, and advertising. Send your checks to NCTPP at 2036 Nevada City Highway, #216, Grass Valley, CA, 95945.

Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. We encourage you to write a Letter to the Editor of The Union. They are a very powerful tool in our fight to bring back a Constitutional government.

Nevada County Tea Party Patriots
