TEA Party in Wichita Falls Texas

Today I joined with 1500+ fellow citizens from Wichita Falls, Tx at a 'TEA Party' on the steps of our courthouse! Many people gave speeches even nationally syndicated talk show host/FOXNews' Glenn Beck gave a brief word of encouragement via satellite. We held signs and we cheered. We did not riot. No one was spouting hate or racism as so many are now reporting. We simply gathered together for a common cause, not along political, racial or ideological lines but as concerned patriots who love our country and wish to preserve it's foundation not rebuild it in a Marxist fashion!

Yet still many in the mainstream media are reporting our intentions as a nefarious gathering of right wing extremists who are simply coming together to express our racist and anti Obama beliefs. They say we are just mad because Obama won and we can't get over it. They are dead wrong! We rallied today for something noble and just! I will tell you why we rallied!

George Mason refused to sign the US Constitution. He refused because he wanted the judiciary to have the weapons found only in a Bill of Rights to enable it to repel the assaults of the Federal Government upon the liberties of men. He knew that the Constitution as it stood would leave the federal government a way to use the Constitution against the States.
As we all know, George Mason, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Edmund Randolph, and Elbridge Gerry got their way in 1791 when the 'Bill of Rights' was ratified. Important if not chief among the original 10 amendments was the 10th.

Plainly stated it reads, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Yet our new President has trampled over this Constitutional decree! He has said to corporations, banks, private industries and corporations and even states that they MUST accept tax payer funds, tied to which are stipulations and mandates; many not pertaining to the allocation of the 'Bail-out' funds.

He has begun the most aggressive spending campaign in history and has promised to allow the Bush Tax cuts to die (effectuating a massive tax increase), extending the government's reach into our lives while redistributing the wealth. All this while perpetrating a ferocious private sector feeding frenzy by the federal government.

These are the reasons millions of us met today in more than 700 cities and and protested in what we have dubbed 'TEA Parties'
(Taxed Enough Already) We are not, as the New York Times article cites, protesting Obama! We are not all Republicans we are correct thinking people who want the federal government to keep it's hands out of our pockets and leave alone our states and individual rights guaranteed us by the 10th amendment! Our protest is not anti Obama and it is not anti government....it is anti-TYRANNY!
