Who is the Tea Party Express?
Tea Party Express *IS* Our Country Deserves Better, a GOP Political Action Committee (PAC). It's ONLY purpose is to raise funds (the definition of a PAC) to give specifically to *GOP* candidates OF THEIR CHOICE. The Tea Party Patriots (formal organization) *IS* a non-partisan 501(c)4 devoted to limited government, fiscal responsibility, and Constitutional principles. Tea Party IE ("my" group) is not a legal entity at all, just an association of people. Tea Party Express/Our Country Deserves Better is not the Tea Party movement, and not affiliated with Tea Party Patriots. In fact, I will tell you that they are attempting to usurp the movement as a GOP movement; presenting themselves publicly *as* the Tea Party Movement/Leadership...people, this is outrageous deception. Yes, Amy Kremer, one of the princples of Tea Party Patriots went against the majority vote of the Tea Party Patriot leadership/officers (3 to ONE, her), and decided to join and travel with the Tea Party Express...but Amy Kremer is not the Tea Party movement either. And, as much as I worked with her over the past few months, I can only conclude that "flattery" (even though never showcased, promoted, or introduced as a leader or spokesperson of Tea Party Patriots) got the better of her. The Tea Party does not have any "rock stars"...no "one face" represents us; we ARE "We the People" with a unified voice of dissatisfaction with our government, and effecting change that we desire. I am extremely disappointed with her naivety or poor judgement, whichever the case may be. Furthermore, Tea Party Express/Our Country Deserves Better have gone to lengths to undermine the Tea Party movement in CA, specifically. (See attachment.) Therefore, I will not support, endorse, or forward their events or information. It would also be my personal request that you not support their events, or donate to their organization, unless they stop these deceptive tactics. (They are planning a bus tour in CA during October, with scheduled stops along the way...calling them "Tea Parties"...when, in fact, they are GOP FUNDRAISERS.) The Tea Party movement is not top-down coalition of people, it is bottom-up, TRUE grassroots. It is not candidate or personality based, it is ISSUE based. If you find a candidate that shares YOUR values, then you should support, donate to, and campaign for them, regardless of party affiliation. Period. That has ALWAYS been the position of the Tea Party formal, since I joined as an organizer in March. And it is a sincere position. We are not, and never have been, a GOP organization. The "Movement" crosses all party lines and peripheral/social issues. That is our strength. And the "politicos" don't like it. We, you and I, are the Tea Party movement...across the nation, millions of "sick and tired of politics as usual, wreckless spending and ignorance/defiance of our Constitution, by BOTH parties" citizens, and this movement will not be hijacked by poseurs with a different agenda than those who are ALREADY EFFECTING CHANGE, and *ARE* the grassroots movement: YOU! 2010 will be a VERY significant election year. The politicos are very fearful of "the People" which is right where they should be. They are free to join with us at any time, but they will not be allowed to deceptively steer the movement for their own goals without *me* pointing it out to you. In other words, they need to get with OUR program, not us with theirs. Be wise in choosing whom you support. I look for integrity, above all, even when I vehemently disagree with people's, or organizations', positions. Tea Party Express/Our Country Deserves Better has not conducted itself with integrity. I am very sorry to have to say all of this to you. Please share this information.

China
It wasn't bad enough that we flew a communist flag at the White house and now we are showering the Empire State building with Red and Yellow to celebrate the 60th year of China being Communist!This is an outrage to America and what we stand for.Read our constitution and start practicing these principles in all our affairs.Only fools who could not see through the BS Obama was spewing forth voted for this man. He is not a Chrisitan and should not be our President.People wanted change but I don't think they realized the change would be that we would kiss ass to all the Communist nations of the world and allow our selves to be taken over by communism.Please stop this avenue we are proceeding down.

HUH?
As you know I was able to attend 912DC where over 1.5 million Americans stood in front of the Capitol and yelled out, "CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?"
I don't know about you, but my message is not to Democrats alone.
The increase in government and lessening of our Liberty has been bipartisan practice.
I am not content with politics as usual. And I'll be darned if our hard work is going to go unnoticed, or IGNORED by the Party that claims to be "with us" ideologically (even while continuing to throw Palin under the bus every chance they get, and thinks the problem is "branding"...CLUE!)
Our schools are a mess of cost-increasing Union-controlled inefficiency and Marxist indoctrination...that no one seemed to notice until a Presidential address to students? They have been for DECADES!
Spend and tax (yes, intentionally placed in that order) have ruled DC for DECADES!
Quid pro quo back room deals have been the practice for DECADES! Pork and earmarks....DECADES!
Erosion of our Constitution? DECADES!
Yet, a friend of mine who attended the recent CAGOP convention (CRC), came back with the news that the GOP (proper) thanks us (the Tea Party movement), but wants us to sit down, shut up, and let them (the "professionals") run the show...politics as usual.
Read this, if you still aren't convinced:
Rumors From California: NRSC Persuades Larry Elder Not to Run. Says Fiorina Won’t Win But Will Tie Up Resources.
If Elder chose to run, they would not support him.
The NRSC was already committed to supporting Carly Fiorina
The NRSC expected Fiorina to lose against Boxer, but expected her to tie up Democrat resources in the meantime.
Carly Fiorina? I am sick and tired of the state that gave the nation Ronald Reagan being told that "real conservatives can't win here"...then being totally ABANDONED by the GOP.
I'm not saying that Larry should, or shouldn't run...I am talking about them committing to a RINO at best. (Meg Whitman, too. Neither of them even VOTED regularly in the past..."too busy" for absentee ballots?) And "politics as usual"....
Why are we fighting? Did they think it was because of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid? If so, let me make it clear to them: I'm sick and tired of ALL OF YOU! (With very darned FEW exceptions!)
California, of ALL states, cannot afford NEWBIES to "politics" (those who couldn't take time out to vote for our leadership?? I've NEVER been too busy to vote!)...what can I say about the GOP forwarding candidates that they don't even think can WIN?? Sorry, but I don't play to lose, you? Is that how their donation campaigns were going to read? "We can't win, but please send your hard earned money to make the DNC spend more of theirs." GOOD GRIEF!
Speak out, Republicans! Replace our party officials with YOU. Run for local offices YOURSELF! (San Bernardino County needs some HELP! The Good Ole Boys Club is falling down, and deservedly so.)
I write to Republicans, because I am a Republican..."clean our own house" and leave the Democrats to clean theirs.
1) THE CONSTITUTION
2) FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
3) FREE MARKETS
Pretty. simple. really.

The Libertarian Party
The Libertarian Party misses the key ingredient
I had a conversation with a Libertarian last night and as I agree with some of their platform they are missing the main ingredient, God.
Example: Criminal Justice – would eliminate all anti drug laws and legalize prostitution. Would end random police roadblock. ( Well, of course you would eliminate roadblocks, you don’t want all the drunk and high citizens pulled over all the time)
Personal Relationships – Government does not have the authority to define, license or restrict personal relationships.
Reproductive Rights- PRO-CHOICE ( voting pro-choice is the same as murder to me.)
LGBT rights- Opposes “don’t ask, don’t tell. Believes that marriage is a private contract, and should yield no government benefits regardless of the gender of the partner.
And on a separate note, Libertarians are for an open border.
The Libertarian Party is missing the God factor, so I could never be a Libertarian or vote for the above platform. We do see eye to eye on many fiscal issues but you lose me on the social issues. I am called by my higher power to vote Pro-life, restrict marriage to be between a man and a woman and NOT legalize prostitution and drugs. We are a Judeo/Christian country and the Libertarians missed the intent of our founding fathers. Without God we have nothing, I have nothing. This country morals have slowly been in decline since the 50’s, coincidently the same time God came under attack by the Progressives. Yes, I want God back and thank God most Americans feel the same way.

Message to Family and Friends!
Well, I've also enjoyed meeting fellow Patriots from all over the country. I'm over joyed to say that I am not alone and the fight coming 2010-2012 will be amazing and historical, so glad to be apart of it. In the coming months I will be compiling a list of Patriot candidates from all parties that voted for free market,democracy and not bailouts, stimulus bills or Healthcare. I will be publishing their voting records and letting the facts be known to all. Meg Whitman and Gavin Newsom, I can already tell you you're not on the Patriots list. I would love to hear from other fellow Patriots and compare notes. Thanks to my very patient husband who has been so supportive of my passion for politics and encourages me, I love you so much! To my children, I love you both and hope you stay true to your faith,values and speak with boldness without fear!! God bless America!
