Wilmington NC tea party, Saturday, August 22, 2009, health care bill, socialism, big government, US Constitution

I was fortunate to be in Wilmington,  NC today, Saturday, August 22, 2009 and honored to speak with a group assembled for a tea party to protest government run health care, socialism and abuse of the US Constitution.

From the Youtube video I just posted:

“I was fortunate to be in Wilmington, NC at the right moment to film a Tea Party protest
of the government health care plan, socialism and big government in general.
These were friendly, average Americans that were not paid to be there and were not
bussed in. I was honored to be there and speak with these fine Americans.
God bless them all.”

Everett WA, Tea party, April 15, 2009, Seattle area, Obama birth certificate, Obama poster, nawanawanga

I have been to Everett, WA, just north of Seattle, WA.

Some of the most far left, kool aid drinking, Obama obots live there and attack this blog and others questioning Obama.

Fortunately I know some good, sane people that live there.

Here are some photos from the tea party held in Everett, WA on April 15, 2009. Thanks to commenter nawanawanga for providing the links.

Tea Parties, April 15, 2009, National tax day, Map, View tea parties across US, The real Barack Obama

The real Barack Obama blog has a nationwide map and YouTube videos of tea parties across the US on April 15, 2009, National Tax Day.

“Disappointed that you couldn’t or didn’t make it to one of the National Tax Day Tea Parties? No problem. RBO’s got ya’ covered.

You can follow the links on RBO’s National Tax Day Tea Party post and go check out the articles and pix — or you can get a feel for Tea Party fever right here in the YouTube video gallery. Sadly, this is only a sampling of all the gatherings — there are hundreds more.

Some folks marched. Some folks sang. Some folks made speeches. Some folks were interviewed. Some folks just stood on the sidewalk and held signs. Some folks got rowdy. Some folks were angry. Some stood in the rain. Some stood in the heat.

Few pro videographers in the crowds, but there are lots of great clips here — and everyone was enthusiastic — with their hearts in the right place. They all knew why they were there even if not so eloquent of speech. They showed up by the thousands, even when the local news gurus (i.e. CNN and anything affiliated with GE) said they were only a handful or a hundred or so strong.

You can bet it’ll happen again — on July 4th for sure. Any chance this is a “movement”? Judge for yourself.

BTW, if these clips don’t bring a few tears to your eyes and a lump to your throat, shame on you!”

Tea bags, Washington DC, White House, 1 million tea bags, Lafayette Park, First Amendment rights, National Park Services officials, not proper permit

From GOPUSA:

TEA BAG UPDATE: More than 1 million tea bags delivered to Washington, D.C. near White House.

Dear Concerned American Citizen,http://www.discountbookdistributors.com/teabag.aspxFox News televised the partial unloading of more than 1 million of our tea bags at Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C. near the White House this morning (note background of photo)! Unfortunately, representatives of The Patriot Depot and Reagan.org were told by National Park Services officials to reload the truck. Why? Even though the original protest permit was approved, our tea bag team was conveniently told that it was not the “proper” permit. This is an absolute outrage and a denial of our First Amendment rights, which read:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

But our tea bags are not leaving the Capitol City any time soon! We’ve just set up a towering display of more than 1 million tea bags at a new location in Washington, D.C.—the headquarters of a free market think tank, The Competitive Enterprise Institute. Your tea bags are sending a loud and clear message: Enough is Enough.

Bob Basso YouTube videos, Obama invites Basso to White House, False rumor, World Net Daily, Thomas Paine, Bob Basso’s videos a threat to Obama?, Basso dispels rumor

There have been rumors about Bob Basso being invited to the White House by Obama.
One source of the rumor was an article on World Net Daily.

“The man who created two phenomenally successful “We The People” YouTube videos urging Americans to stand up against Congress and reclaim their republic now – or perhaps lose it forever – reportedly has been summoned to the White House by President Obama to discuss the subject matter of the short films.

Bob Basso, who posts videos under the name funbobbasso on YouTube, has created videos in which he portrays Thomas Paine, author of the “Common Sense” pamphlet that made the case for independence during the American Revolution.

Basso, whose website offers his services as a motivational speaker, uses the YouTube presentations to condemn “non-representing representatives” and warns, “Only when they feel the almighty wrath of ‘We The People’ marching in the streets from California to New York shouting ‘We’re mad as hell and we want our country back’ will they get the message they work for you.”

He was scheduled this week to appear on the “Jerry Doyle Show” when he told the radio host that Obama had personally invited him to meet in the White House “to discuss the disturbing nature of the videos.”

According to a spokesman for Doyle’s show, at the time when Basso was supposed to be calling in for the show, he was unavailable. Basso reached the show several hours later, explaining he had been flooded by media calls and literally was unable to call out.”

“On April 4th, while being interviewed in a special edition of the Chalice Show, Bob Basso, affectionately also known as Thomas Paine, corrected the false rumors that he had been invited to the White House.

The widely spread story is that Bob Basso was called to the White House following the release of the popular Thomas Paine to discuss the disturbing nature of the videos.  Read one story here

So what is the truth?  Did Bob Basso get invited to the White House?  Listen to Bob tell you in his own words! Here is a 4 minute clip in which Mr. Basso presents the facts.”

Tea Party April 15, 2009, NC taxpayer tea parties, Protest Reckless Federal Spending, Trillions of Dollars of Debt and Proposed Tax Hikes, North Carolina locations, cities

From Americans For Prosperity:

Join Taxpayer Tea Party Protests Across North Carolina
Reckless Federal Spending, Trillions of Dollars of Debt and Proposed Tax Hikes Spark a Growing List of Tea Party Protests All Across North Carolina

Excitement is building as we get closer and closer to Tax Day on Wednesday, April 15 and not because we are anxious to file our taxes. There are literally dozens of tea party protests across the state on this date. And they don’t stop there! On the list below, you will see that the tea parties will continue after April 15, too.

Average citizens are bringing their friends, neighbors, children, and handmade signs conveying the message that, like the patriots of old, they don’t want high taxes, oppressive government or trampled freedoms. Chanting “Don’t Tread on Me” and “We, the People”, citizens hope their elected officials hear their voices.

We have been to three tremendous tea parties so far. See the photos and video coverage from Raleigh’s kickoff tea party at the Capitol on March 21, and enjoy this photo of an April 7 Wilmington tea party where hundreds of people exercised their right to assemble and protest on the Cape Fear River.

Please attend one or more of these events and help us spread the word. Our economic freedom is under attack and we must fight back. All of the events below are free and open to the public.

Orly Taitz, Update, April 13, 2009, Dr. Taitz new website, Defend our Freedoms, San Antonio TX tea party, FBI, Citizens Grand Jury

I just got off the phone with Dr. Orly Taitz. We spoke for a while about her website and the recent controversy. Dr. Taitz has a new website for Defend Our Freedoms.

http://repubx.com/

Orly stated that Defend our Freedoms is her foundation and that she has been blocked from accessing her data on the previous website. She is still committed to the cause of exposing the truth about Barack Obama.

We also spoke about the US Supreme Court, Justice Scalia, Chief Justice Roberts and law clerk Danny Bickell. She and I are both concerned that Bickell is still employed at the Supreme Court after all of the shady dealings that she and other attorneys experienced from Danny Bickell.

Dr. Orly Taitz will attend the San Antonio, TX tea party and stated she will be willing to stay an extra day if enough citizens are willing to meet with the local FBI office and initiate a Citizens Grand Jury. She also stated that her expenses are very high. Every time that she travels she spends at least a thousand dollars. She is providing her services pro bono, so it is not asking too much for people to donate to the cause to help with expenses.

God bless Orly Taitz
