Walking for Freedom

Matthew Perdie is a man of conviction. He is not simply talking for a few moments then going home to a comfortable bed, no. He has taken his message all across America! For more information about the July 4th (Independence Day) Tea Party at Santa Monica Pier, please contact me. I'll do my best to help you.

This is an interview covered by FOXNews which you may view here.

Please join Matthew in his journey (it's not too late) by joining his site or at least viewing it: Perdie.com. Have a blessed day.

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!

Long Beach Patriots News

The Townhall we were planning does not seem to be getting anywhere. There have been no halls that have stepped forward to donate their hall for a couple hours, and the candidates are having trouble getting their schedules around the times we have suggested. So, we will have the Townhall after the June 8th election.

However I would like to search and find a civic center in Long Beach so that we may meet there at a date to be determined. We can then discuss the candidates and the propositions on our own. I need some feedback on this, so please email me about this if you plan to attend and which time would best for you during the week. Thanks.

Well, that's about it for now. I've been pretty busy trying to help Star Parker who is running for Congress in our 37th district against Laura Richardson. Woohoo! She is a great lady, and you can read about her and follow her writings at CURE. You may contribute to her campaign if you wish at her campaign site Star Parker for Congress.

To let you know how much faith I have in this Lady, I dropped out of the race so she could run unopposed. I respect her immensely, and I would never said a bad word against her. Not even for my own benefit. See? I am not a politician! haha. God bless.

Long Beach Patriots Ad At Pennysaver!

This year's Tax Day Tea Party shall have one advantage that last year's did not. It is advertized! Tax Day Tea Party, 130 Cherry Avenue, 5-7 pm, 4/15/2010. If you have questions, please email me. (Don't be lazy. All you have to do is click on my "View my profile". *j/k*)

This time I refuse to be shy. The reason the other Tea Parties are so small with little to offer is because I cannot walk well and have no car. These are some of the things we need.

A Table for the sign-in sheet, anything you may want to sell (I get a %), etc.
Video camera to film the whole event.
Security guards (big dudes) to keep their eyes out for party crashers. Do not touch them. That's what they want.
A plan on how to deal with Leftists.
Microphones.
Speakers. It could by you!
Music that everyone can hear.

We have read some sites that are planning to crash every Tea Party to make us look as they see us, racists, homophobes, etc. It's like asking, "When did you stop beating your wife?". Do not give into the temptation of bopping them on the nose. There shall be NO violence. If you lose it, you will unfortunately be asked to leave as well. Otherwise, it isn't fair. This would suck, so don't do it! Besides, I am going to alert the police so they can have our backs.

Regardless, we are going to have a grand time. We are going to enjoy one another, share ideas, stand on Ocean Blvd and Cherry Ave with our signs and listen to all those horns a-honkin' after we listen to the speakers. Yes, it is going to be fun. Mostly because YOU are there. :)

Hope to see ya there!

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!

Dems Try To Steal Tea Party's Name!

Below is an email I received informing of the bad behavior displayed by a democrat in the state of Florida. He is trying to start a third party in OUR name! Do not be fooled. Please read it, reprint it, tell the world. THEY ARE NOT US! Thanks.

TPP Statement on Tea Party Political Party

Dear Fellow Tea Party Patriots,

There is much talk of the formation of a third political party based on the tea party movement. In Florida, a Democratic operative with absolutely no connection to the tea party movement has filed papers to form a third party called the Florida Tea Party. He has issued legal threats against local tea parties demanding that they cease using the name "Florida Tea Party."

Tea Party Patriots is issuing this statement in order to make it clear that we are not associated with this, or any attempts to form a third party. Additionally, we believe that such efforts are unproductive and unwise at this time. The history of third party movements in this country is one of division and defeat. We believe that it is instead time for all Americans to rise up and demand appropriate reform within their own parties. The mechanisms exist for citizens to participate in their parties, and to drive their parties in the right direction.

The Tea Party Patriots encourage all citizens to get involved in the party process, and to reshape their parties into something in which they may once again believe. This country does not belong to any one party, nor does it belong to the career politicians. This country belongs to the citizens. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "We have given you a republic madam, if you can keep it." The founders knew that it would be our sacred obligation as citizens to get involved, and to work hard to hold on to this great nation. We have much work to do, and future generations will look back in judgment. We hope you will join us in preserving the republic.

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.

New Group For Members

I shall continue to write here so everyone may stay up to date, but I have opened a google groups site today for the members of Long Beach Patriots who are interested in keeping the pressure on these government critters. I have been writing news and mailing it many people, but I do not know who or how many really want these emails.

I know I don't particularly like it when I receive so many emails that I have to delete some of them. I don't like it because I always feel bad. When someone takes the time to send me an email, I like to have the decency to read it.

When I started receiving 200 emails I thought, "Oh my! This is a lot!" I long for those days! haha. A lot of it is news, however, but I'm a news junkie. *sigh*

This new site is privacy protected. It shall only be available to those who respond to the email I sent them. It is a private site, so people can feel free to speak. Tough luck, Obama. This is still America!

The first time I had Tea Party on April 15th, I had no idea what I was getting into. That's okay though. I've been wanting to get active in a good way for many years now. If you live in the Long Beach, California area, email me. I'll have to 'interview' you to make sure you're not from ACORN or SEIU before you get anywhere close to an invitation! *heh*

Just wanted to keep you up to date. Don't forget the Central Valley Tea Party's Boot Camp this Saturday, Michael Fell's protest outside of Sen. Feinstein's office in Santa Monica on Monday (4-7 pm), and get your copy of Not Evil, Just Wrong.

A Good Weekend to All!

Get Out The Voice Tea Party

Below you will find information concerning the Tea Party being held this coming Tuesday at our City Hall in Long Beach, California. Why at the City Hall? What do they have to do with Healthcare? Good question. I have a good answer.

Most of the people who get elected to City Council are more ambitious and may only serve two terms. This gives them a resume to take to Sacramento or to the Congress with them. I want to diswade any thoughts of voting yes for any kind of socialist government!

Plus, we can march back and forth from the City Hall to the Courthouse, and the Courthouse is on Ocean Blvd. Many people will be able to see us, and they can then be informed as to the sneakiness and corruption that is actually happening on their so-called behalf.

Many judges, lawyers, voters, and others who may be interested in protested but have not known how to or where there is a group of people who felt as they do will be easily available for them. ;)

Event Description.

October 13, 2009, there will be a Get Out The Voice Tea Party held at 333 W. Ocean Blvd in Long Beach, California, between 4pm and 7 pm. Seven pm is when they have their Council meeting. The Courthouse is right there on Ocean Blvd, so we will be seen this time. We must do this at this time to let the critters in Washington know that they are not hiding anything from us.

We have very little time. I need help. If anyone knows of someone who would be willing to speak at our Tea Party, please contact me. Please put Speaker(s) somewhere in the subject line. Hey, if you want to speak, that is alright also.

I am going to posting this information over at Long Beach Patriots as it comes to me. Please contact me anyway to let me know you will be there.

Bring also your flags, T-shirts, buttons, etc. We have been fighting this all summer. We have been winning. How can I tell? Because they are trying to break the law to get this passed! We must help the people in Long Beach to be aware of what is happening to them behind their backs.

You all have been a great help in the past. It has been a tough road to hoe. I understand this but remember, there's no turning back if we lose this fight. This is down to the knock-out punch. Please be there, and bring your friends, parents, and children! Thank you.

UPDATE: Great news! News Blaze has covered this Tea Party and published the article I sent them. Please link to this article over there so it will climb the 'most read' articles. This way, the more people who read it will know about it, and they can then come to the Tea Party to learn about what is happening in Congress and the Senate. We cannot allow the momentum that was built during the summer to fade away during the autumn months. Keep up the great work guys! Thanks.

HealthCare Like WaterCare?

Our Central Valley is suffering 40% unemployment, in some areas 0% water usage even though they hold the water rights to it, and a man (govt)-made drought. This is very serious. You can live without a doctor for many years, but how long can you live without water?

The maximum one can live without water is 4 days. Okay, that's for human beings. Why don't you stop watering your plants? It's just an experiment. See how long it takes before they start turning brown or a different color that is unhealthy. Hey, maybe we can get some plant healthcare?

Anyway, my point is this. The govt has destroyed 1.5 Million acres of farmland with their obnoxious laws, regulations, and we have stood by and said nothing. AB 32 was passed 3 years ago, along with California Air Resources Bureau (CARB), This is killing California. There is a bill number AB 118 which is to be heard this week in California's state politics. Please support this bill. It will at least repeal AB 32.

For more information, I thought maybe you would like to put a human face on it. Here is a letter to the editor written by a farmer who lives on the eastside of the Valley.

Mayor was manipulated.
published September 4, 2009 in the Los Banos Enterprise.

I feel that Mayor Jones was manipulated by Congressmen Cardoza and Costa. I am not sure why the mayor allowed our Valley congressional delegation to use him. Now is the time to stop political posturing and to aggressively and effectively fashion a desperately needed situation to this "man-made" drought.

I would suggest that the mayor check his facts before giving adulation and blind support. The United States Bureau of Reclamation did indeed re-scheduling over 250,000 acre feet of federal water from 2008 to 2009.

Those of us that have been involved in Westside farming over the years know that about 150,000 acre feet of such rescheduling is routinely requested and granted by the United States Bureau of Reclamation on an annual basis.

What was different this year was the fact that San Luis Reservoir was only at about 30 percent (300,000 acre feet federal) of storage capacity going in to 2009. Granting the re-schedule request for over 250,000 acre feet meant that there would be virtually no water available in San Luis Reservoir to meet senior water rights holders' (such as Central California Irrigation District) irrigation demands.

At the time, most modeling projected that USBR would probably have to take water from Friant Dam to meet those demands, reducing water made available to Friant Water User Authority Districts on the east side. My thanks goes to the Friant Water Users Authority for asking the USBR to honor the re-scheduling requests, supporting west side districts facing a 0 percent supply this year, even at the risk of their own contract supply.

Addressing water transfers by state and federal agencies this year. The Drought Water Bank was planning to transfer up to 600,000 acre feet from the Sacramento Valley to south of delta this year, with about half of that destined to local desperate Westside districts. Only around 90,000 acre feet total will actually be made available, with only about 30,000 acre feet going to local Westside districts.

Even though these small amounts of water are greatly appreciated, meeting 15 percent of a very achievable goal is hardly a success.

What we need to survive is 100 percent support for real solutions. Congressmen Cardoza and Costa need to join with Congressman Devin Nunes in solving the man-made drought.

Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa have voted with the Democratic leadership of Pelosi and Miller. Their votes have kept the "Pumps" off! Their votes have enabled the removal of water, jobs, and farming on over 1.5 million acres of our valley!

Mayor Jones why are you enabling Cardoza and Costa to vote against our Valley families and farmers?

John Fawcett
Los Baños

This information came my way courtesy of Families Protecting the Valley. If you would care to educate yourself on this very important issue, you will want to read California's Man-Made Drought.

And this is the government you trust to take care of your healthcare? May I remind you that if your medication involves something that can declared endangered, you're screwed. Don't look at us. We tried to warn you. I guess it will just be too bad for you, too. After all, you didn't care when it wasn't your problem, right?

Oh, wait a minute! California grows and distributes 40-50% of all the food that feeds THIS country and others. Get ready for prices to go up, and don't ask why. We've just told you why. No product? More demand? Higher prices. Macro-Economics 101. The same thing will happen with healthcare.

More seniors, less product because they went out of business due to lack of PROFITS, higher costs to the government. Is the government supposed to give us healthcare in place of defending our Sovereignty? You should at least try to read our Constitution again!

The fight is not over. We have not lost. They have not won. We must keep the pressure on them to do the right thing. They are elected to protect the PEOPLE whom they represent. You have been great! I liked very much seeing you again on the 12th of September. Everyone have a blessed day.

Update: As I was sitting here pondering the consequences of the actions of Congress and environmental groups, I was intrigues with the proposition that there may be no food. No food? Then I realized what I was reminded of, Stalin's starvation of 65 million of his own people. No, I guess we don't need any death panels, do we?

HINT: I am not saying anything of the sort that Obama is Stalin. NO WAY. I am saying, however, we may find ourselves going down the same road. What is there to stop it from happening? That's correct, US. So back off with your racist comments. I reject them. Let's all agree to take our government back to the Constitution. Slavery has been eliminated and it was a horrible stain on us, but as they say, let's move on...

Boy, have I received some news for you. We have many speakers, many Tea Party organizers will be there with their groups, music, (candidate) politicians, and more. Many people are saying the Tea Parties are missing an opportunity to select our own candidates. Oh really? ;)

As many of you know, this event will be on 9/12 from 3-5 pm. For more information and to sign-up, go to www.912West.org. You will also be able to find out more news on their facebook site.

I would like to see many people from Long Beach registered to go. I am already registered. You have all been wonderful and very respectful, and I want to show us off. Then again, most Conservatives are respectful and kind and clean.

Remember to keep an eye opened for stragglers in our city before we get there. There is supposed to be some ACORN crap going on. *phuew*

I shall let you know more about this in a day or two. Hey, I've got to keep you coming back, right? *heh* God bless.

AAR: March On Sacramento 8/28

It was absolutely fantastic! There were 10's of thousands of people there, and it was so peaceful. At the same time, you could feel the outrage at our government in the air. No, you couldn't see it on the people's faces, but we knew why we were there. We knew who was responsible for all those farmers and truckers losing their jobs and their homes. It is the GOVERNMENT and never forgot that.

There was music, Veterans, radio show host broadcasting the event, and speakers from all different backrounds. There were farmers, truckers, Congressmen, Assemblymen (the rest of the Assemblycritters got scared and went home!), farm workers, residents, and so much more. It was so moving at times that I had to hide my tears. Something must be done NOW.

We can still do something. We must continue to call our assemblycritters and state senators to urge them to support AB 118. This will abolish AB 32, the global warming bill. Even if you do not live in California, please call! We need all the help we can get.

I have a link to an AWESOME video. It won't fit here, but it is so great, REVOLUTION BREWING - August 28 Sacramento Tea Party Express, courtesy of Camera Horse.

Lloyd Marcus is not only fine, he is a great musician. He is also very kind. In this tape, you will find many posters, speakers, CNN was there--did you hear anything about the event? Ha. This was done by someone who just happen to have a video camera with her. She did an excellent job. The tape does stall a little, but I think that's my computer. It is bearable. Much.

He is going with the Tea Party Express - which is no way associated with any of the Californian Tea Parties - to 35 cities until they reach Washington DC on September 12th.

Which reminds me, we will be having a Tea Party here on September 12th! Los Angeles county and Orange county have combined efforts this time, and we will be holding this Tea Party at the Federal Building in Los Angeles. Wow. I am worn out! But I feel great. God bless everyone, and good night. (More to come.)

Info For March On Sacramento 8/28

August 28th, 2009 12-5 p.m.
State Capitol Building - Sacramento.

First I'd like to apologize for not writing this earlier. There is so much information coming at me that I sometimes miss the e-mail. (Over 300 e-mails per day.)

Well, let's get caught up. August 28th is coming up on us swiftly, but we are prepared. However we still have many people who are asking how they can help. Here are two ideas. If you have any questions that are unanswered by that site, please e-mail them.

1. Go to www.SAC828.org and download the promotional flyers you'll find there. Please print and distribute as many as you can. We don't want anyone who can attend to say they didn't know about the event.

2. Check out our new promotional video for the event by clicking here. Please spread this around to everyone you know.

The speakers list is growing, so I do not know everyone who is going to be there. I can, however, give you a clue. I know Congressman Tom McClintock and Congressman Nunes will be here, as will talk radio personalities Armstrong and Getty, Eric Hogue, and Andy Caldwell. Andrew Breitbart, noted conservative Hollywood blogger, of Breitbart.com will also be here.

Eric Hogue (mentioned above) of KTKZ's Capitol Hour (AM 1380) will be on hand to broadcast live, Andy Caldwell of KINF on the Central Coast will do the same, and we expect to have many more talk show hosts broadcasting live from our on-site media center.

Yes, there will be live-streaming! On Eric's Townhall website, he has interviews with Mark Meckler (California's Tea Party Co-Coordiator) and Congressman Tom McClintock.

If you want to come in the night before, rooms have been reserved at the Hyatt Regency across the street from the Capitol building. The rate is $129.00 per night if you mention the Sacramento Tea Party. You can reach the Hyatt at 916-443-1234.

Bring Your Family and Friends. Tell all the business owners you know. It's time to get government off of our backs and set California businesses free to create jobs and prosperity for all.

There is one more (that I know of) issue to discussed. They need many volunteers to do:

1. Set Up
2. Tear Down
3. Crowd Control
4. Registration - booth and clip board
5. Merchandise
6. Donations
7. Information

(If you can help, please send an email with your volunteer area of interest (from the list above), in the subject line at: Tea Party Coalition.)

You may avail yourself to more than one item. There are going to be press critters, thousands of us and we need as many of us as can come, so we want to keep it as organized as possible.

A word from myself. Please don't litter. If you cannot find a garbage can, maybe you can bring an extra bag? You know the kind they give you when you buy some groceries? They make excellent garbage collecters. I hope to meet so many of you there! I am really looking forward to this.

In case this is the first you've been to this site, I have never done anything like this before in my life until April 15, 2009 and July 4, 2009. They say it gets easier with time. I have one question. WHO IN THE HECK IS "THEY"? hehehe. Have fun with this as well as speaking your mind.

This is important, but let it not take away from us those we hold dear and all the other important things in our lives. It is a shame that Congress and the California Assembly do not realize this, but the most valuable things in our lives cost not one red cent...and they could never provide it. *sigh* Digg!
