John

Who was John? He was my brother, my best friend, an artist, a person who could calm any argument, and so much more. John went to Heaven November 12, 2010, at 8:36 pm officially, but I saw the clock say 7:11 pm. The official time is when the doctor came to turn off the ventilator. His heart stopped at 7:11 pm.

I love my brother, John, and he loved me. He took very good care of me, much more than I deserved. That’s for sure. John was such a special man not only to me, but to many others as well.

He was generous, unselfish, kind, loving, strong, warm, and he was very much a great man. I miss him so dearly and my only comfort is the knowledge that he is now in Heaven with God.

I would like to thank everyone who has been praying for us through this very difficult time. It is sincerely appreciated.

I must now get ready to go to the funeral home to make arrangement. I was hoping by writing this, I could find some strength. I believe the only strength I have right now is that of our Lord’s. I’ll accept that! Have a blessed day everyone, and remember to tell your loved ones that you love them. You never know when it will be the last time you see them on earth

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.

LB Patriots: The Time Is NOW

Hi everyone. We're down to the last weekend, and we sure could use all of your help. Who is we? Star Parker for Congress (CA-37). She is a wonderful lady with a great AMERICAN head on her shoulders. The headquarters number is 562-989-7827. Please call and find out what you can do during this last push.

We need to show up strong and this is what we've worked so hard for, a real change in American politics. Show your support by showing up. Thanks.

'Those Voices Don't Speak for US'

President Ronald Reagan reminds us of an age old concept which we must write on our hearts. Those voices do not speak for US. The Left is so far out of touch because their process has been corrupted by the ideals of those who've only sought power, not freedom nor Liberty. Please listen. It's only 2:17 minutes long, but as usual, it says a lot.

Star Parker's 1st Commercial

Star Parker is running for Congress in the 37th district (California), and she is quite a lady. I saw her again at the rally and the Town Hall she isn't afraid of having on Monday. She is awesome.

She now has first commercial up and running, and I would love for you to visit it and leave your comments there and/or here.

In case this blog doesn't work properly, you will find the video here.

We have put so much hard work into trying to stop this health insurance boondoggle, the stimulus which only prevented the states from doing what was necessary, the car fiasco, the wall street fiasco, the bank fiasco, the finance fiasco, and the global warming fiasco. Dear Emperor, you have no clothes!

Am I indicating that some those fiascoes didn't need reform? No, I am not. What I am saying is that the Democrats did not only listen to any Conservative plans (they denied we had any, remember?), they would not even allow Republicans to offer anything during their behind the scenes deals.

I don't know about you, but I've about had it with both parties! Weak-kneed Republicans trying to be Democrat-light, and Democrats running as though they are Conservatives because they know that's the only way they can win. This leads to what we have just witnessed over the past two years. Dictatorship. And I, for one, am not having it.

I want my Life, Liberty, and Private Property that is GOD-GIVEN (not government-given) back. One way or the other. Hopefully at the ballot box. We must keep a close eye on the Democrats and ACORN though. No one is going to steal this election. (Yes, ACORN is alive and doing rotten things.)

Please vote for Star Parker if you live in this district. She is sincere, down to earth, accessible, honest (a rarity, I know), she is intelligent on the issues, she is just plain intelligent, and she knows of what she speaks. She started her own business, she is helping people and children of all colors in the inner cities and elsewhere, and that takes a lot of knowledge.

Also, can this woman speak! One day, I would like her to run for president, but let's concentrate on getting her elected Congresswoman for now. You may contribute to her campaign if you feel so inclined at Star Parker for Congress. I know she would appreciate your support. Out here in California, it costs a lot of money to put your ads on TV. Please consider a contribution. Thanks.

Pardon me for going on and on her, but I really like Star. I believe in her. I am also going to hold her feet to the fire, however! From now on, we have only just begun...Have a blessed day.

LB Patriots Mentioned In Press-Telegram!

All the hard work, the many Tea Parties, the protesting at Richardson's office, the travelling, it has paid off this Monday. We have finally been mentioned in the Press-Telegram which is our local newspaper. The link is right here. I hope you enjoy it! 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.

Star Parker 4 Congress Town Hall

The evening after the rally Oct. 4th (which I hope to see all of your friends and family and you there), Star is going to have a Town Hall beginning at 7 pm until 9 pm. It will be held at the Petroleum Club, 3636 Linden Avenue, Long Beach, CA. The Long Beach Patriots have also been invited to attend.

We will be allowed to ask questions when the time is right, and I hope many of you have great questions. I personally want Star Parker to beat Laura Richardson to win, but we still have to hold each congressional critters' feet to the fire.

Our work is just beginning. We need a steering committee, and I am searching for volunteers. One man has already stood up for the cause. I hope many others will follow up in their own way. 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.

LB Patriots: Meet Our Candidate

Star Parker is running against Congresswoman Laura Richardson in district 37. The Long Beach Patriots have been invited to this rally. You do not have to live in this district to show your support (or donate). She is a wonderful person with a great history. It's a lot like mine, but she has done much to help everyone with her non-profit business to excel beyond what they thought they ever could.

Please come to show your support. This is also one those Kick Pelosi off the Speaker's chair. (I know I got it wrong, but it's the same meaning.) It is going to be fun, and you have an opportunity to meet our next representative for CA-37!

It will beginning at 2 pm and continue until 4 pm. It will be held at George's 50's Diner, 4390 Atlantic Avenue in Long Beach. (2-4) There will be enough parking, so you don't have to worry about that this time. The number to the diner is (562) 427-5979 if you have any questions about parking.

Oh my, did I forget the date? The date is October 4, 2010. D'oh. Please call me at 251-7280 to let me know if you are coming to this event. They need to know how many people to be prepared for beforehand. Please do not text me, because I haven't figured out how to use that yet. haha. I look forward to a big turnout on this day, because we need to show the American people we have not given up and gone home. I will see you, and the people you have invited, there. 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.

Register To Vote Video

This is good video by Chuck Norris helping us to remind you to Register To Vote and then, Don't Forget To Vote! It is very important that we all remember in November the way we've been treated as if we were little pests during the two or six years we've had to endure them. Now it is our time to speak, and speak we shall. God bless.

Conservatives Have No Plans?

Yesterday's Morning Bell: The Left is in Full Retreat title doesn't do it justice. This is an article packed with many positions and policies that we have been trying to bring forth, but the democrats have kept us out of their meetings. Do you want to know the truth? Do you want to be freed? Then read on.

Last Thursday, a who’s who of the progressive movement met for a conference call organized by Families USA and hosted by the advocacy group for government-run health care, The Herndon Alliance. The Alliance’s partners include AARP, AFL-CIO, SEIU, MoveOn and La Raza, among many others. Democratic pollsters John Anzalone, Celinda Lake and Stan Greenberg were the call’s main event, and they were there to deliver some bad news. Politico reports: “Democrats are acknowledging the failure of their predictions that the health care legislation would grow more popular after its passage, as its benefits became clear and rhetoric cooled. … The presentation also concedes that the fiscal and economic arguments that were the White House’s first and most aggressive sales pitch have essentially failed.”

Health care is not the only issue where the left is retreating in the face of strong disapproval from the American people. Versionista, a Portland, Oregon-based company that tracks changes to the White House website, reported last week that the Obama administration had made “whole-cloth” changes to its “Energy & Environment” issues page. Out are any references to a cap on carbon emissions and a campaign pledge to spend $150 billion on clean energy technologies. In its place the new White House site includes a three-minute Earth Day-themed video from President Barack Obama. And across the country, leftist Senate candidates in Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana have all come out against President Obama’s impending trillion dollar tax hike, due in January.

As satisfying as it is to see Obamacare’s supporters come to terms with the failure of their grand plan, it is not enough for conservatives to just say “no.” Conservatives must have real plans for reform if the American people choose to empower them. The Heritage Foundation’s Solutions for America chapter on Getting Health Care Reform Right recommends:

Repeal Obamacare: There is a precedent for repealing highly unpopular and misguided laws: the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988. Recently, over 70% of Missouri residents rejected a key provision of Obamacare­—the requirement that individuals purchase a health insurance plan designed and approved by government bureaucrats. The House of Representatives even voted recently to repeal one provision of Obamacare that will impose draconian paperwork requirements on millions of small businesses. The easiest way to address all these grievances: repeal Obamacare.

Promote Personal Control Through Tax Equity: Today, workers who purchase coverage through their employer receive an unlimited tax break on the value of their health care benefits. However, those who purchase coverage on their own receive no comparable tax break. Ideally, the current tax exclusion should be replaced (or at the very least capped) with a system of universal tax credits for taxpayers. Medicaid and SCHIP spending should also be redirected to help low-income individuals and families purchase private health insurance

Fix Current Government Health Programs: Medicare should be reformed into a defined-contribution system in which the government provides a contribution for benefits and seniors are able to apply their contribution to the health plan that suits them best.

Promote Federal–State Partnerships: A one-size-fits-all federal solution cannot accommodate the unique and diverse health care challenges facing the states. The federal government should promote interstate commerce in health insurance, extend certain protections for those who maintain continuous coverage, and provide states with technical assistance and relief from federal rules that inhibit innovation.

Provide Portability: Individuals—not the government—should be able to choose the health coverage that best suits their needs. To accomplish this, private health insurance must be portable—that is, owned by Americans so they can take their package from job to job.

There is no better symbol for the overreach of the progressive movement into the daily lives of all Americans than Obamacare. Repealing this intolerable act and replacing it with the foundations for a truly market-based health care system is one of the best ways conservatives can capitalize on liberalism’s retreat.

Quick Hits:

•Nearly half of the 1.3 million homeowners who enrolled in the Obama administration’s flagship mortgage-relief program have fallen out.
•The government is investigating at least 20 car dealerships it claims violated the rules of last year’s cash-for-clunkers program.
•Howard Dean, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said Sunday that President Obama’s political advisers are out of touch with average Americans and need to “spend some time outside Washington.”
•Iran opened its first nuclear power plant at a ceremony on Saturday that was attended by senior officials from Iran and Russia.
•Hugo Chavez’ Venezuela suffered more civilian deaths in 2009 than both Baghdad and Mexico.

This is just the beginning. Once we have elected conservatives to office, we must not let up the pressure. That is the mistake we the people made the last time. This is our money and our values they are going to be responsible for and temptation runs high when no one is watching. This time, we shall ALL be watching. It is our responsibility.

Prop 23 Saves Jobs and Billions

Here is the lowdown on Prop 23 vs AB 32 (global warming). Assemblyman Dan Logue is the author of Prop 23, so what is it all about? Very simply, we pay higher costs for utilities, food, gas, etc during this depression, or we can put a stop to AB 32 from destroying our state. Here is what he has written. Please help me spread it far and wide.

Yes on Prop. 23.

By Assemblyman Dan Logue, for the California Political [N]ews and Views, 7/26/10

If you had a choice between paying several thousand dollars a year in higher utility, fuel, food and other costs, and temporarily postponing an ineffective global warming law until the economy improves, it would be a simple decision, right?

Well, thanks to the 800,000 voters who signed petitions to put the California Jobs Initiative on the November ballot, voters will actually have a chance to make that choice.

The California Jobs Initiative is a common-sense proposition that will temporarily suspend implementation of AB 32, the states global warming law, until our unemployment rate returns to a level closer to where it was when the law was originally adopted by the Legislature.

If successful, the initiative will save over a million jobs and save California businesses and families billions of dollars in higher energy and other costs resulting from regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas, or carbon, emissions associated with global warming.

Heres why. AB 32 requires a radical shift in where California gets its energy, necessitating huge investments in alternative power sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen. Its estimated the transition will cause gasoline and diesel prices to increase by $3.7 billion a year, natural gas rates to go up by 57% a year, and electricity rates to rise by up to 60%.

Other AB 32 regulations are expected to increase the cost of a new home by $50,000 and add several thousand dollars to the price of a new car. And the Air Resources Board is considering a cap and trade carbon tax of $143 billion.

Those higher energy costs will translate to increased overhead for businesses large and small, who will pass all or part of that cost onto their customers in the form of higher prices not only for utilities and fuel but just about everything we use on daily basis, such as food.

Those higher prices are likely to result in a downturn in business, which in turn will lead over a million lost jobs, according to a recent study.

Its bad enough that these billions in higher costs and loss of a million jobs would come at the worst possible time, considering there are almost 2.3 million Californians already unemployed, our states chronic $20 billion budget deficit and hundreds of billions in debt. But AB 32, which was created specifically to help reduce global warming, wont make one bit of difference in terms of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

Because global warming is a global challenge, and because California accounts for a minuscule percentage of all greenhouse gas emissions, AB 32 on its own cant make a difference in global warming. The California Air Resources Board itself has conceded: California acting alone cannot reduce emissions sufficiently to change the course of climate change worldwide.

And California indeed would be acting alone if we implement AB 32 as currently scheduled. Other states and other nations have dramatically downsized their climate change plans in recognition of the fact that their economies just cant sustain the costs necessary to meaningfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

I recently asked Californias non-partisan Legislative Analysts Office (LAO) to evaluate what the impact of going it alone with AB 32 would be on our states economy. The response was disturbing.

The LAO found that California-only implementation of AB 32 would be likely to adversely affect Californias economy in the near term because of the related energy price increases. This would in turn result in higher prices for goods and services and reduced production, income and jobs.

The LAO has reported elsewhere that suspending AB 32 would save local governments and the state millions in costs, and prevent loss of tax revenues as well.

One other important fact: AB 32 deals only with carbon emissions, which while associated with global warming present no threat to public health or the environment. California already has the strictest laws in the county to protect our air and water from smog and other pollutants, and those laws will remain intact under the California Jobs Initiative.

Unfortunately the Governor, the Legislature and the Air Resources Board have steadfastly refused to intervene in the timing of entirely symbolic global warming regulations that could turn our states current economic crisis into a permanent financial disaster.

Thats why the California Jobs Initiative is so important. It will protect over a million jobs and save California families and businesses billions of dollars in higher energy costs. Considering wed be spending that money and sacrificing those jobs for a global warming law that wont do anything to reduce global warming, it should be an easy choice for California voters.

News Info

I am planning a Tea Party for August, but I need your help. I need someone who can get me to the new location with everything, I also need people to call in during our FreeConferenceCalls. This is going to be larger than the others, so we may need a permit. I'll let you know. I'm going to ask Star Parker for Congress to speak. That's tentative.

If you are interested in helping, you may reach me at my email. Otherwise, I cannot continue to have these calls when no one calls in to discuss the issues and the share ideas. *~*

Just wanted to let you know that we have not gone away, we have not given up. Hell hath not frozen over! Hope to hear from some of you. Please, do not make the mistake of believing your other friends will be calling. You must call in, just in case. (I found out the hard way that it is better done this way.)

God bless all of you, and have a blessed week.

NAACP Should Lose Nonprofit Status

There have been times when different organizations throughout our history whom have called for the nonprofit status of a group to be dishonored and suffer the loss of such nonprofit status after it has been proven that said particular group to be politically partisan. I am sad to say that I agree this is one of those times.

Below you will find some people who agree with me (of course). The difference? They are also black, and they are fed up with the hypocracy. Please read further.

NAACP Executive Caught on Tape Lying About Tea Party Attendance

If the NAACP Will Lie About This, What Else Might Its Leadership Be Lying About?.

Washington, D.C. - In [an] appearances on the Fox News Channel this week, NAACP executive Hilary Shelton claimed he attended a major tea party event despite having said three days before that he had not attended a tea party, was "afraid" to go to a tea party rally and had only watched media reports about them.

"Did Hilary Shelton lie to me?" asked Deneen Borelli, full-time fellow with the Project 21 black leadership network. "If he can't give a simple, straightforward answer about whether he has been to a tea party, that certainly calls the truthfulness of his other claims about the tea party movement into question."

On the July 16 edition of "America's Newsroom" on the Fox News Channel, Borelli and Shelton — the NAACP's senior vice president for advocacy — debated the merits of the NAACP's resolution decrying alleged instances of racism at tea party events. In this debate, Shelton claimed to have attended the tea party rally at the U.S. Capitol on the weekend of the House of Representative's vote on health care:

Borelli: "Have you been to a tea party?"

Shelton: "I was. As a matter of fact I was on Capitol Hill at that tea party rally "

However, on the July 13 edition of "America Live," he had a different answer when asked the same question by Phil Dennis of the Dallas Tea Party:

Dennis: "Have you been to a tea party event?"

Shelton: "I have watched you on TV. I'm afraid to go I have not."

Which is it?

"The increasing politicization of the NAACP is putting the reputation of this venerable civil rights institution at risk. For it to be allowed to be used as a weapon to attack the tea party movement calls its credibility into question, and Hilary Shelton telling two tales of his interactions with the tea party is troubling," added Borelli. "I would suggest he take the time to read the tea party's Contract from America and attend a tea party rally — for the first or second time — with an open mind."

Video of both interviews can be seen at [the] [ConservativeBlog.org].

Borelli has a statement about the NAACP's racism allegations at the BigGovernment.com website [snip] and another at the FoxNews.com website [snip], has appeared repeatedly on the Fox News Channel to discuss the issue (clips at the SunnyDayAmerica YouTube channel [snip], and joined in a press release condemning the NAACP allegations with other members of Project 21 in a press release[:

"Progressives have hijacked the NAACP to the extent that the group stands silent as conservative blacks suffer indignities for their beliefs. Some NAACP even egg on this appalling behavior – providing political cover and lapdog services for these elitists," said Project 21 member Kevin Martin. "As a conservative black man, I have felt more welcomed and at home within the tea party movement than among those of my own who side with the this new NAACP. If a few random signs of President Obama looking like the Joker is indeed racist, then where was the NAACP when conservative blacks are depicted as lawn jockeys, Oreos and Uncle Toms?" [Continue reading.]

More allegations were made] in a series of statements at BigGovernment.com.

Project 21, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research, has been a leading voice of the African-American community since 1992. For more information about the history of Project 21, visit the Project 21 website.

This is a group that fair and does not discriminate. Isn't that what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed about? Black or white, yellow or red, we are all Americans. We are brothers and sisters. To hate your brother or sister is to hate yourself. Is this why Conservatives are happier than Liberals? Perhaps. We live each new day as it comes, and that's the way life ought to be without the government interference! Have a blessed day.

My Black Brothers and Sisters: Wake Up

To define a group of people in any way other than humans, Christians, Jews, Muslims, sports teams, political party, etc, is racist. No one is a victim, not anymore. Even those who have suffered racism can rise above it by simply not accepting what others may say. We consider ourselves Survivors. Now if someone lays their hands on you or your property, that's another story. That is a crime against all of us. Call the Police!

It breaks my heart that the Democrats have taken very beautiful people and stomped all over their Liberty, confidence, patriotism, and their education. What is this? "I am not going to learn because that is a white thing!"? HOW DARE THEY!

It is not a white thing that drove Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to demonstrate. It was not a white thing that freed the slaves. It was Christians who could not tolerate this injustice and hypocry that brought us to blows against brother, father, son, and the rest of the family. Then we had to repair the Union so it could stand under the this division after the civil war was over. That was not a white or black issue, it was a moral issue.

Since when did moral issues become white? They never where and never will be. I have personally learned very much from my black sisters. I was raised by a lady whom I love very much. She just happened to be black. SHE taught me right from wrong, good from evil, and how to not get a spanking when my Dad came home. haha.

I put her on a pedastal because that is where she belongs. Her name is Willie. I miss her terribly, but she had to leave to take care of her own Mom. I pray God has blessed them both greatly. The last I heard, He has.

I don't want my other brothers and sisters to be mistaken by these self-serving Democrats. Why is it that they can use racist terms and nothing is said? No consequenses! (KKK Byrd, for one.) By letting this be done, whitey reporters, it does NOT pay back anyone for the crimes that have been brought them here and beyond. If you did not commit the crime, you cannot ask for forgiveness. Unless, of course, you will choose to accept the punishment. What's that? *chirp* *chirp* Just as I thought. All lies.

You can do the best for our brothers and sisters everyday. TREAT THEM AS YOUR EQUAL, because they are. Love them as Americans, because they are, do not treat them any differently than you would treat your own friends. That is, of course, unless you're a jerk to begin with. In which case I recommend you keep on walking.

Please wake up, my beloved brothers and sisters. Has anyone informed you that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican? Did you know it was white Republicans who started the College Fund with motto: "A mind is a terrible thing to waste"? Have you been taught all of these accomplishments of our Americans that happened to be black?

We would not have street lights today if not for our brother. Sorry, but I don't remember his name. Could that be because I'm tired of being called racist (I am a Tea Party Patriots coordinator, Long Beach Patriots), or maybe because the Democrats do not want this taught? Or could it be I just have a bad memory about everything? Yeah, that's the truth, but will you accept and/or believe that when I am being honest with you? That's up to you.

I did not learn this in school. I learned it on my own. Many of us would love to embrace all Americans who want a strong national defense (to stay alive), a constitutionally (and bill of rights) limitted government without so much power (it was never meant to be a boot on our necks), and an opportunity to sell our goods that we have made with our hands to other people next door, in the next state, or in other countries (that are not our enemies) without tarriffs (taxes). That is called a free market.

Please do not determine what you believe by the words of those with alterior motives. Come to a Tea Party and find out for yourself. I have never heard of anyone NOT being accepted except racists and trouble-makers. I've removed one myself.

I'm not going to go into the work I've done to help bring us closer, because I know that's just grandisement.

Rather I will emplore you, remember that you are a free individual who can do anything (legal) you desire if you aspire to do it. No one rules your life except God and you. Your happiness is determined by you, not by others. This is America. You are an American just as much as I am an a American. Please hold that in your heart, because it is very important.

This country was founded by Christians, and we are feeling some of the exclusion you have suffered. No, there's no way we could what you felt felt fully, but somewhat.

Do not allow ANYONE to put unseen chains upon your spirit. That is what the Democrats have done. Just take a look at your city if it is run by a Democrat. Then look at a city run by a Repubican. Notice any difference? It has nothing to do with color, thank God. It has to do with values. What do you value? Your values will determine which political party or candidate has earned your vote. Like it or not (at first).

God bless you all, my friends.

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.

July 4th Tea Party Coming Up

For everyone who has questions, I'm trying to find the answers. So far this is what we know.

Matthew Perdie, who has walked 3600 miles across America talking to REAL people, shall be in the home stretch early July. We are trying to raise enough money for his parents and him to stay in a hotel. Five dollars would be better than nothing, I always say. :)

We will meet at Memorial Park for a picnic around 4 pm. Then we will walk the rest of the way with Matthew to show him our support. We will end up at the Santa Monica Pier for a Tea Party at 6 pm. Matthew, of course, will be one of the speakers.

Please wear your walking shoes! We do not want anyone to feel pain during this event. If you cannot walk this distance, please meet us at the Pier.

Speakers, music, entertainment, etc has been taken care of by the Pasadena Patriots Tea Party - Matthew Perdie. The media will be there this time, even if it is only FOX TV. (I'm trying to PJTV.com to come.) They have done an excellent job, as usual.

No ride? Call Metro. It's on one of the first pages of the schedule.
No idea how to get there if you're driving? Try Google maps. If you do not know how to use this, put in your search engine "google maps". When that screen appears, choose the one that is not advertised. Hey, why should we give them money for every click they get, right? *heh* Okay, know you put into the search field, 'Memorial Park Santa Monica, California' or 'Santa Monice Pier'. They will give you directions if you just click on one of the links in the upper right corner.

Please let me know if you are interested in coming to this event. Let's show them that Long Beach Patriots do care, that we are a viable contender against Congresswoman Laura Richardson, and that we are ready and able to pick our own Crosses to carry them to the finish line! LET'S ROLL!

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!

Tea Party Video: 6/20/10

The name of this video is: cult of personality -An ex-democrats version of the Tea Party!!! Rock ON...There are many people who feel this way after watching what is happening to our country. Change? Yes. Socialism? NO!

This is not my video (I have none yet), but I think it is pretty cool.

In case you cannot view this video here, you may watch it on YouTube.

'MSM' Show Bias so Tea Partiers Respond

If the dinosaur media thinks we are going to sit back and take it like we used to, they have another thought coming. What do they think made us get up and get out to protest in the first place? NO ONE WAS LISTENING because the so-called press was not doing its job. Well, take this!

If the video isn't working properly, you view it at Stix.

Amazing Video

The name of this video is 'Tea Party Member Stuns Crowd!', and it is amazing. I had tears in my eyes, so you may want to grab a tissue. It is only 2:57 minutes long, but it says more than I've ever heard from a politician. That's not fair, that's not hard to do. haha.

Just in case this video fails, here is the link over at YouTube.

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE TODAY unless you don't know who to vote for, then just go about your business. Next time around, check out each candidate. Don't just go to their website, either. Of course they're going to try to put their best foot forward. There are many ways to check. If you need help, email me. Have a blessed day everyone.

Voters Guide: Primary 2010

Hi. Just in case you are wondering in which way others are voting, I am going to share with my Republican friends how I plan to vote. I have to only share with them because that is the way it is set up, and I like it this way. Would you want Conservatives voting on the Democrat ticket? Then why bother having any differences?

I guess I have that Prop 14 under my skin. How many of you know that it is on the ballot by the government and no one had to collect signatures? Ah, that's what I thought. These greasy scumbuckets think we're stupid. Let us show them we're not. What's more, let's remove them from office and put them in the unemployment line!

Okay, now I got that off my chest, we can get down to business.

This is for people who live in the state of California and Assembly District 54 and Congressional District 37.

GOVERNOR: Steve Poizner.

LT. GOVERNOR: Sam Aanestad

SEC of STATE: I'm not sure. I'm leaning toward Orly Taitz. If anyone can show my why Dunn is a better choice, I'm open to listening. The Christian election forum has 2 thumbs up for Damon Dunn, so I'll do some more research on him.

UPDATE: I have been contacted by several of Orly's supporters and Orly herself. I'm sorry to say that it was only to show what they perseved as Damon Dunn's shortfalls. Was he registered as a Democrat for sometime in his life? Yes. Is he a registered Republican now? Yes. Do we never forgive people for seeing the light? YES, we do. Do we like it when you people do not tell us more about themselves rather tearing down their opponent? NO. Therefore I will be supporting Damon Dunn. Sorry Orly, but I hate politics as usual. Did you learn nothing from the Tea Parties? *sigh*

CONTROLLER: David Evans. He is a CPA, and that's what we need. Tony Strickland has been around govt TOO long. He's term limited out and looking for a new job. Throw the bums out!

TREASURER: Mimi Walters. She may be the only person on the ballot, but I am voting for her. There is another candidate in a different category who is in the same position (only candidate), but I refuse to vote for him. I do like Baca at all. Besides, he's been here too long.

Attorney General: JOHN EASTMAN. This is only candidate who actually KNOWS the Constitution and will apply it for WE THE PEOPLE and not the politicians.

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER: Brian Fitzgerald. Villines is a tax-increaser.

Member State Board of Equalizer: NO ONE BOTHERED TO RUN. That is how we keep getting stuck with Democrats.

US SENATOR: Chuck DeVore.

US House of Representatives: STAR PARKER!!! Vote for her, please. I dropped out of the race to support her. I was NOT offered a job when I did it, since she knew nothing of me. And she has too much character to even try to play a democrat game. She has more class in her little finger than Laura Richardson ever could achieve had she wanted to.

Member of State Assembly: Martha E. Flores-Gibson

Party Central Committee: John Cozza. I've left him a message to see who else is a Conservative. Otherwise, I'm only voting for him. If you do not know who you are voting for, then please do not fill out all seven. You do not have to do that. Only vote for those you know to be Conservatives. Are we not tired of business as usual? You bet!

If you do not know how to vote for the judges, I have written a post called Voters Guide: Judicial earlier.

Superintendent of Public Instruction (School): Dianne A. Lenning. I know her from coming to our Tea Party. Her love for the Military and children instead of government gives her much to proud of.

ASSESSOR: John Lewis Dortch.

Propositions:
13: Proposition 13, if approved by the state's voters, will prohibit tax assessors from re-evaluating new construction for property tax purposes when the point of the new construction is to seismically retrofit an existing building. If successful, it will amend Section 2 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution.
California state senator Roy Ashburn is the amendment's primary sponsor.

Heck NO. WAIT! I've just read it again, and it does not say what I thought it did. I thought it would only apply to new construction. Of course, they have to retrofit the house, duh. It's part of the code. Since it is part of the code it is like the federal govt telling California we have to do something that costs a lot of money. Who the heck are they to demand we pay money for their friends benefit???

I've changed my mind. YES ON PROP 13. Wheh.
14: NO
15: No
16: No, even though everyone wants to vote yes. I don't believe govt should own anything. Period.
17: No, Permits companies to reduce or increase cost of insurance depending on whether driver has a history of continuous insurance coverage. Fiscal Impact: Probably no significant fiscal effect on state insurance premium tax revenues.
Ballot label details - Support - Opposition - Editorial positions.

I've shared with you with whom I voting. I hope this will help some people to make up their mind one way or the other. Either way, don't forget to vote this coming Tuesday unless you are a Democrat or a Meg supporter. haha. Only kidding...sort of. ;)

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!

Voters Guide: Judicial

There is a Christian gentleman by the name of Craig Huey who researches the votes, the speeches, and many aspects of these judges who are on the ballot for this June 8th vote. I will not say whom I am voting for, because this is your vote, your voice. I just wanted to give you some information since we are never provided any.

The names who do not have a number beside them I believe may be running for the first time and/or have no record. Please remember to vote this June 8th! Have a nice day.

June Election Recommendations

Warning: Do NOT vote for a judicial activist or unqualified judges.

The June California primary ballot has important races for Superior Court judges…but it’s often hard to tell which judges you should vote for.

Unfortunately, many judges sitting on California courts may be incompetent, corrupt, lazy or soft on crime.

Even worse, many are political opportunists who have a political agenda—they are “judicial activists”

A judicial activist legislates from the bench. Instead of strictly interpreting California law, these judges make the laws. Instead of applying the law to facts, they impose their own values on us all.

Arizona's Classrooms

Arizona Legislatures just passed House HB 2288 - Prohibits a school district or charter school from including courses or classes that either promote the overthrow of the United States government or promote resentment toward a race or class of people.

Arizona v Obama+Illegal Aliens

The news I have to bring to your attention saddens me greatly. I never in my lifetime thought I would ever see the POTUS declare that he was not going to protect one of the states in our Union. Friends and countrymen, there is no longer a United States. We are under Tyranny. Thank you so much you Leftists commies.

Feds Will Not Process Arizona Illegal Aliens.
May 21, 2010, 06:39 PM

Today, the President had an agent of the Secretary of Homeland Security announce that Arizona is now a free place for illegal aliens. Arizona has been declared by President Obama to be an Open Border State --that is his answer to the Rule of Law.

"A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports.

"I don't think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution," Morton told the newspaper."

Imagine the Federal government announcing, openly and defiantly, that it will not obey or enforcement laws passed by Congress and signed by a President?

This is anarchy, from a man who calls a well known terrorist, Bill Ayres a friend. This from the President who had a State department official apologize to China for a State that was enforcing Federal law.

This was from a man who welcomed a foreign president, the head of Mexico , into the White House, and agreed with him in his denouncing an American State for following the Federal law.

Disgrace is not a strong enough word. Outrage is not a word that conveys the strength of feeling of betrayal by our President.

Disgust comes closest. If you want to turn in illegal aliens call 866-347-2423. If you are calling from Arizona please know the President no longer recognizes you as a State.

After reading the article, I got very angry. This is not only reckless, unconstitutional, and arrogant, it is criminal. To announce publicly that you will not carry out the responsibilities for which you took an oath ought to be grounds for prison time. How dare you tell one of our states that you are not going to process any of their illegal aliens! Did you READ the damn law?

I doubt it. No one else in this adminstration has, why should he be any different? He probably hasn't heard of the Mexican Army incursions into our country either, or the kidnappings, rapes, and murders by illegal aliens.

Is every crime committed by an illegal aliens? NO. But the ones that are would not have happened if the federal government had gotten off their arses and done their job.

JUNE 5th THEIR WILL BE A TEA PARTY IN SUPPORT OF ARIZONA'S LAW IN ARIZONA. If you would like more information, I will get it for you. I am so pee'd I can't even write anymore right now, so have a great weekend all.

In God We Still Trust

This video has been emailed to several people, because they say it is political. I didn't know the government was to be the arbiters of religiosity and patriotism. Hmm. I seem to remember having a 1 Amendment Right to keep to keep the Govt OUT OF MY RELIGION and FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.

Anyway, these are the words of the person who sent it: "Sometimes we just need a lift from the day to day grind of the fight. Sometimes we wonder what we are fighting for....this video will remind you if you are wondering and lift you if you are struggling. I was told is wasn't politically correct so you won't hear it on radio stations! Crank those speakers up....this is worth it!"

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.

Arizona BUY-Cott

Below you find several ways you can contribute to Arizona's economy, since our stupid govts feel the need to break the law and boycott Arizona for doing something we have been begging our federal govt to do...they are now enforcing the law without discrimation beginning in 90 days. It's about time!

Here is the email I received from San Diego Tea Party:

Starting May 5th, we are officially kicking off an on-going ARIZONA BUY-cott to support Arizona bases corporations, local businesses, on-line retailers, and tourism. The following list is just a sampling of the great companies you can support...and there is something for everyone. PLEASE SHARE!!

I'm back. Let's show these ungrateful lawbreakers that WE DO SUPPORT ARIZONA. First they want us to buy American, then they don't.

Cap(Tax) and Trade (Tax)

While I like to do my own writing, this one is so well written that I don't think I have anything to add to it. So here it is:

Beginning with this post will be an overview of the Cap and Trade Bill or as
it is better known in more conservative circles, Crap and Tax Bill. The
Bill has passed the house, in the dark of night and right before a recess
which seems to be the norm for the leftist regime currently ruling Congress.

The Bill is being stalled in the Senate due to the so called Immigration
Reform Bill or as is better known in conservative circles, Buying Votes for
Democrats. The Bill is being presented to the American people as a Climate
Bill which is a way of hiding the fact that it is a TAX BILL, pure and
simple that will raise the cost to every man, woman and child in the US.

Today's post will take a look at some of the cost and the HIDDEN COST within
the bill. The administration is touting the bill as costing only a small
amount to each family but the true cost, just as with Health Care are well
concealed.

In future post we will look at the Bill section by section and hopefully
educated the uninformed on just how negatively this Bill will affect each
and every person in this country. Yes, the reading may be long at times and
a bit dry but it is important that we understand what is happening to
America and the results that it will have on our country.

Here is the article. It may be considered longer than some posts, but it is well worth your time if you care about saving our country. Thank you.

I Have A Free House For You

While we had all been putting our time and treasure into stopping the health insurance debacle, even though it passed anyway, below is a very humorous 'reality check' that almost everyone can grasp. Except those Obamabots. Have a nice day.

I was in my neighborhood restaurant this morning and was seated behind a group of jubilant individuals celebrating the successful passing of the recent health care bill. I could not finish my breakfast. This is what ensued:

They were a diverse group of several races and both sexes. I heard the young man exclaim, “Isn’t Obama like Jesus Christ? I mean, after all, he is healing the sick.” The young woman enthusiastically proclaimed, “Yeah, and he does it for free. I cannot believe anyone would think that a free market would work for health care. They are all crooks and thieves and don’t deserve all of that money.” Another said, ‘The stupid Republicans want us all to starve to death so they can inherit all of the power. Obama should be made a Saint for what he did for those of us less fortunate.” At this, I had had enough.

I arose from my seat, mustering all the restraint I could find, and approached their table. “Please excuse me; may I impose upon you for one moment?” They smiled and welcomed me to the conversation. I stood at the end of their table, smiled as best I could and began an experiment.

“I would like to give one of you my house. It will cost you no money and I will pay all of the expenses and taxes for as long as you live there. Anyone interested?” They looked at each other in astonishment. “Why would you do something like that?” asked a young man, “There isn’t anything for free in this world.” They began to laugh at me, as they did not realize this man had just made my point. “I am serious, I will give you my house for free, no money what so ever. Anyone interested?” In unison, a resounding “Hell Yeah” fills the room.

“Since there are too many of you, I will have to make a choice as to who receives this money free bargain.” I noticed an elderly couple was paying attention to the spectacle unfolding before their eyes, the old man shaking his head in apparent disgust. “I tell you what; I will give it to the one of you most willing to obey my rules.” Again, they looked at one another, an expression of bewilderment on their faces. The perky young woman asked, “What are the rules?” I smiled and said, “I don’t know. I have not yet defined them. However, it is a free home that I offer you.” They giggled amongst themselves, the youngest of which said, “What an old coot. He must be crazy to give away his home. Go take your meds, old man.” I smiled and leaned into the table a bit further. “I am serious, this is a legitimate offer.” They gaped at me for a moment.

“Hell, I’ll take it you old fool. Where are the keys?” boasted the youngest among them. “Then I presume you accept ALL of my terms then?” I asked. The elderly couple seemed amused and entertained as they watched from the privacy of their table. “Oh hell yeah! Where do I sign up?” I took a napkin and wrote, “I give this man my home, without the burden of financial obligation, so long as he accepts and abides by the terms that I shall set forth upon consummation of this transaction.” I signed it and handed it to the young man who eagerly scratched out his signature. “Where are the keys to my new house?” he asked in a mocking tone of voice. All eyes were upon us as I stepped back from the table, pulling the keys from pocket and dangling them before the excited new homeowner.

“Now that we have entered into this binding contract, witnessed by all of your friends, I have decided upon the conditions you are obligated to adhere from this point forward. You may only live in the house for one hour a day. You will not use anything inside of the home. You will obey me without question or resistance. I expect complete loyalty and admiration for this gift I bestow upon you. You will accept my commands and wishes with enthusiasm, no matter the nature. Your morals and principles shall be as mine. You will vote as I do, think as I do and do it with blind faith. These are my terms. Here are your keys.” I reached the keys forward and the young man looked at me dumb founded.

“Are you out of your freaking mind? Who would ever agree to those ridiculous terms?” the young man appeared irritated. “You did when you signed this contract before reading it, understanding it and with the full knowledge that I would provide my conditions only after you committed to the agreement.” Was all I said. The elderly man chuckled as his wife tried to restrain him. I was looking at a now silenced and bewildered group of people. “You can shove that stupid deal up you’re a** old man, I want no part of it” exclaimed the now infuriated young man. “You have committed to the contract, as witnessed by all of your friends; you cannot get out of the deal unless I agree to it. I do not intend to let you free now that I have you ensnared. I am the power you agreed to. I am the one you blindly and without thought chose to enslave yourself to. In short, I am your Master.” At this, the table of celebrating individuals became a unified group against the unfairness of the deal.

After a few moments of unrepeatable comments and slurs, I revealed my true intent. “What I did to you is what this administration and congress did to you with the health care legislation. I easily suckered you in and then revealed the real cost of the bargain. Your folly was in the belief that you can have something you did not earn; that you are entitled to that which you did not earn; that you willingly allowed someone else to think for you. Your failure to research, study and inform yourself permitted reason to escape you. You have entered into a trap from which you cannot flee. Your only chance of freedom is if your new Master gives it unto you. A freedom that is given can also be taken away; therefore, it is not freedom.” With that, I tore up the napkin and placed it before the astonished young man. “This is the nature of your new health care legislation.”

I turned away to leave these few in thought and contemplation and was surprised by applause. The elderly gentleman, who was clearly entertained, shook my hand enthusiastically and said, “Thank you Sir, these kids don’t understand Liberty these days.” He refused to allow me to pay my bill as he said, “You earned this one, it is an honor to pickup the tab.” I shook his hand in thanks, leaving the restaurant somewhat humbled, and sensing a glimmer of hope for my beloved country.
