Candidate Star Parker's Commentaries

This is one brilliant lady, and we are so fortunately to finally have someone who will represent us. She does many things in the private sector, and one of those things is writing commentaries.

Her latest commentary is Can Republicans win the Hispanic vote? I believe we can if we would just drop the color/ethnicity language. I know Star is trying to get us to see this, but it is so difficult since the Democrats use it as their tool when they have no ideas to discuss.

Here is a list of some of her past published articles.

Can Republicans win the Hispanic vote?
The simple path to Middle East peace.
Today's political mandate: Become American again.
A new, emerging black leadership.
Who is governing America?
Is it racist to criticize Greece?
The NAACP and abortion politics.
Defining the liberal versus conservative divide.
Two views in conflict.
Neil Cavuto interviews Star Parker.

I plan to volunteer for Star, and I am hopeful that everyone who attended our Long Beach Patriots Tea Parties will do the same. We must defeat Laura Richardson. She does not want to hear any one's voice on any topic. This is NOT what a Representative is honored to go to Washington DC for us to do.

A new voice. A new perspective. Many new ideas. Star Parker (CA-37) listens to us. Yes, I see good days ahead. We're almost at the end of the darkest tunnel in which I have ever lived. Will you help us, please? Have a blessed day.

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again. Digg! Digg!

Why Govt Healthcare Is Bad

The year was 1982, the month was June, the day was the first. The night before I had such a headache and lost the feeling on my right side, but this had happened. I thought it would go away, so I went to sleep early instead of partying with everyone. After all, it was my graduation party.

When I awoke, the pain in my head was indescribable. It wasn't a headache anymore, my head was on fire from the inside and it felt as if my brain had swollen to the point it was going to pop out. I could no longer walk at all, so I crawled to the phone.

I could not talk so when the operator asked where I was, I was very proud of myself. I knew this answer! I was home. Where was home? Hell if I knew. I did not even know my name. I was having a stroke at the age of 22.

She must have found out where I was somehow, because the police and neurologists rushed to my home. When I saw them, my body finally succumbed. Probably due to relief. It took 9 months for me to learn how to speak in one word syllables again, and it took me a year and a half to relearn how to walk so it would appear I was not limping. Two and a half months later I was stricken with epilepsy.

There is so much more to be said, but you get the general idea. So what does this have to do with this health care bill Congress passed? A lot. You may not know this, but I have been on some sort of medical welfare ever since. I am forced to take medication for the rest of my life, so I have to see a specialist at least once a year.

I receive news all the time about which medications the govt will no longer cover, yet other people can still be offered. No problem, right? Just pay for it, right? Well, NO. It is against the law for me to pay for any medication already. What do you think I was trying to tell you? I just didn't want to go into detail.

This is my last plea. This is very important for you to know, for it will happen to you as well. I am afraid every time I open the news of which medicines they're going to stop funding, because I am allergic to all but one medication to control my epilepsy. What do I do when the day comes when they cancel that? What will you do when cancel yours?

They are going to have to reduce medication for everyone, because they cannot afford to care for everyone. So who will it be? Will we turn into a nation of people who pray it happens to someone else or will we be the kind of people who prevents this from happening in the first place?

It is up to you. I can no longer do this. I have done all of this by myself for a long time now, and I just cannot continue. You will find out why not in my next post. I've had it with this govt, and Saturday was the last straw. I have made up mind, but that's for the next post. Until then, someone please take over this blog!

I Let You Down

I was a little late this morning. Since I had to carry everying in my walker and packback, I was in such a hurry trying to get everything set-up that I couldn't find a few things until some people left. Someone even came all the way from South Bay, and I was unprepared. After all the time I spent preparing, I blew it. I apologize. It surely has been one of 'those' days. Thank you for coming.

Today I had to leave early. It was around noon. I also heard about the people that were told to get out of the congresscritters offices, Well I ran into a problem with some people who appear to be ACORN proto-types. I was told I was not allowed to protest on one of the corners because it was a business area, so I asked if anyone complained. She said it was her job to remove me before they did! I asked when was the last time she read the constitution, especially the FIRST AMENDMENT!

It was either leave or throw down. I wanted to show her that she couldn't push me around but the truth is, I'm only 5 feet tall and disabled. Back in the day it wouldn't have taken a second thought. In a way, I'm kind of glad it did. She probably could have stomped me. I wouldn't want to bring that kind of a message to our cause either.

I complained to her boss who gave me a different story (lie) about why I could not use my megaphone and protest there. First it was due to the businesses, then it was because people live in the area. So I guess people are only allowed to protest in the middle of the woods where no one will ever hear them? Bull.

I also questioned her boss as to whether the fact that I was the only one there at the time made a difference. She of course said no. Then I asked her if I were an illegal alien with hundreds of thousands of people with me if we would be having this same conversation? She lied right to my face and said yes. THAT is a lie. The police protect the illegals and arrest the citizens of my great country. I know. I've seen (heard of) it happening during (Karl) Marx Day (May 1st is known as May Day).

When they protest, they block all the traffic in downtown Los Angeles. No work can be done, business have to shut down whether they like it or not, and the illegals get special treatment. Maybe I can be defined as a minority or some protected group? Gosh, and I used to believe my citizenship MEANT something. I guess it is only special to me.

The few people who did show up today were very nice and took advantange of the opportinuty to go upstairs and voice their opinions to Congressmember Laura Richardson. For those of you who do not understand why there are no bands there and all that, it was a Tea Party in unity with Congresswoman Michele Bachmann to speak with our Congresscritter to kill the bill HR 3962.

There is another issue I would like to bring up just this once. I am disabled and I take the bus. If you want a big time party, bring it yourself! I cannot. I do not have the equipment and if I did, I have no way to transport it. I continue to ask for help, but there is none forthcoming.

I cannot say that about everyone, however. Many of you have asked how you can help, and many of you have actually helped. To you I am very grateful. On the 4th of July, Roxanna brought the helium for the balloons. There was also the ride to the Federal Building. That was the first time I have been able to make it there out of all the times I wanted to go. THANK YOU!

Your posters are also great. I love them. Keep them coming. Jamie, was it you who hooked us up with the speaker for the 4th of July? Whoever it was, thank you. You guys sure are awesome. I just wish I knew the words to motivate everyone and get you to know how very vital a time we are facing.

Pelosi thinks she has the votes. Otherwise I do not believe she would be calling for a vote on Saturday. Please keep those phone calls going! That is more important than what I did. I appreciate your efforts so much. Thank you.

Off-Topic (OT): Please say some prayers today for our service men and women and their families in Fort Hood. God help them and heal them. Comfort those who have lost their loved ones. It was a jihadis attack, and I knew it as soon as they would not give his name or race. Do they really think we're that stupid? Oh yeah, they came out right away without any investigation to say it was NOT a terrorist attack. No, I guess it was just one of those "man-caused disasters'. I am so disgusted with him and all those who think that way.

PS. If you have come to one of our Tea Parties and are not receiving a newletter, it is because I could not read your writing. Please send me your email address so I can fix this. Everyone who does receive my newsletters, please send me an email with the words "Yes, you have permission to add me" to our restricted google group in the subject line. It won't allow me to email you again using their Add Members, however I can add you directly by email.

If I can mail everyone the newsletter in one email, it would surely save me much time! You may also write any info and ideas you have, too. All you have to do is write an e-mail post (or any post, and copy/paste to email), then use the e-mail address of our private group in the To: area. This way it will post to our site and send an email to everyone. Cool, eh? God bless.

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again.

Flags, posters, music, CD player/cassette/radio player. I'll bring my megaphone for everyone's use. If anyone knows of a speaker, please send me an e-mail.

Individually we shall go upstairs and express our views and concerns with the staffers. Be polite but firm. They are very nice in her office.

9/12/09 March On DC Tea Party Videos

Wow. One of my friends sent me an e-mail with many pictures and videos. They are awesome. The videos I have chosen to share with you have 8 parts to them. (I think.) These are being provided by MoxNewsDotCom. The site may be found at MOXNews. I have chosen this one to play here (although I will provide the link in case my computer goes screwy), because it includes many of the people I care about. They sign a rap song to salute our brave men and women, yes--they are not forgotten, and a lady I adore. Yes, she speaks for me!


Here is the link: Tea Party (Taxpayer) March On Washington DC pt.7. 9:51 minutes. Well, I hope you get the idea. There are many more videos from other people, all of these were posted by MoxNewsDotCom. Everytime I thought I was almost done, bam! There's 5 more! ;)

He/she did a very good job of making what appears to be a continuous video. I guess the camera or the upload at YouTube would only allow 11 minutes at a time, so he/she sliced them together. That is why I posted so many. Some tapes end in the middle of what someone is saying, and the next one picks up the rest of the speech. Cool! I know that was a lot of work. Please check them out. Have a great day, ya'll!

Hat tip: President/Boardmember of Eagles UP!

Ya Don't Say?!?

Oh, my, my. What priviliged people we have, don't ya know. This man is very upset that one of his constituents would have the gall to ask him about healthcare. Well, sir, he does pay your salary, I think that is reason enough for you treat him with more respect than if he were something smelly you found on your shoe. Here is the link: Meltdown: Democrat Congressman David Scott of Georgia Goes Berserk At Townhall.

This man has already voted for the following:
  • $787 BILLION TARP Fund
  • $1.2 TRILLION Stimulus Bill
  • "Cap and Trade" Energy TAX Bill
  • Bailouts for Banks and Auto Companies
Have you had enough of this there in Georgia? Then THROW THE BUM OUT!

Hat tip: RightMarch. It is up to you if you decide to visit their site, but I must give them credit for video. As far as I'm concerned, we should throw the bums out of BOTH parties and start anew. Have a blessed day!

LB Patriots Go To Congress

If Congresswoman Richards won't come to us, we'll go to her. This Friday, August 14, 2009, at 12-2 pm, we shall go to her downtown Long Beach office located at 100 West Tower (100 Broadway, between Pacific Ave. and Pine St.). There shall be no violence. We are not doing this for any of the reasons the elitists claim. We shall be going because it is our right to assemble and redress. Look it up, Dems. It's that irritating thing called the FIRST AMENDMENT!

We shall be discussing Healthcare and our concerns, we shall also offer alternative ways to approach this problem. It is my belief we have this problem directly related to the federal government, so I see no reason to believe they know anything about healthcare (insurance).

This is listed at my facebook site and Tea Party Patriots. The name of the event is "LB Patriots Go To Congress" and listed under Long Beach Patriots. (Everywhere.)

If you can post this information, that would be great. Invite all of your friends, co-workers, family members, etc. Remember, this is a civil gathering, so remind them to be remain civil no matter what they try to do to us. The police station is right down the street. hehehe.

Please bring posters if you like, but please be tasteful. Try not to pick on one party or the other. In my opinion, it's all of their faults! THROW THE BUMS OUT! ;)

Thanks, and have a blessed day.

Update: Here is the actual posting for the event. It may come out a little off because I don't know how to do columns. Oh well.

Host: Long Beach Patriots.
Event Name: LB Patriots Go To Congress
Event Date: 8/14/2009
Price: Free

Start/End Time: 12-2 pm
Location: 100 West Towers
Street 100 W. Broadway, Suite 600 (between Pacific Ave and Pine St)

Keep calling everyday. Call other states. Make sure your voice is heard, because everyone else sure is doing so. Even the illegal aliens are included in this horrific bill! Yet people who waited who waited to come to this country the proper way are not included. As a matter of fact, I've heard they are excluded. That is outrageous. Keep up the good work Patriots! God bless you, and God Bless America.

Long Beach Patriots Has Arrived

Welcome to the new site, Long Beach Patriots. After 3 Tea Parties, I thought it was about time I set up a site exclusively for this effort to take our country back. What I mean by that is to make sure our elected officials finally heard our point of view. They have been running rough-shod all over us, and we do not like it! Not one bit.

I will be posting some of the information I receive right here. That includes e-mails, as long as I have permission. We can do this. We can save our healthcare and bring our taxes back to a reasonable amount. We can create jobs along with the consent of our elected officials. There is so much we can do, so much we need to do.

I am tired of sitting on my rear and waiting for the end of the world...well...not exactly, but I just cannot remain silent any longer. The silent majority has awaken, and Congress is very afraid. GOOD. That is the way it is supposed to be, especially when they know we are paying attention.

If you would like to write here, you must have attended one of the 3 Tea Parties I have held. That's so I know who you are. If you some information that you feel is important, you may always e-mail me. I will look it over and decide whether or not to post it.

Many people have already asked me to post articles for them. I have had to tell them no at times. Why? I'm only one person! That is why I am asking for help.

My next post will be to give you the names and numbers for the Congresscritters we need to call. If they are in your district, please go to their townhall meetings. Maybe you could let you friends and neighbors know so you could have a Tea Party yourself! It is fun, no matter if there's only a few people there. Take your time. It will grow.

Thank you for reading through this boring introduction. ;)

God bless ya'll, and God bless America.

PS. I started a site over at Wordpress, but I messed up the URL. It's too long and confusing, so I will be posting only here. The other site will remain up, however. I can't delete that one without deleting all my other work! Also, I can never use my names (URL) again if I delete it because they keep it active anyway. Just wanted to let you know.
