We The People Convention plans for 2012
This message just arrived from TomZ, organizer of the 2011 We the People Convention. Next year will be an especially important time for conservatives to gather and learn how to be engaged with the political process for the presidential election. To help us prepare for activism, we should take a few minutes to respond to an online survey which will help make planning the convention an even bigger success than last summer's event.
Our committees are in the planning and fund raising stages for the 2012 We the People Convention and we need your input on dates, places, speakers and activities for next year to make the 2012 Convention and even bigger success than the 2011 Convention! Please click on this link and take our short survey by no later than December 1, 2011. We are asking you to not only spend three minutes answering a few survey questions but to also forward this email to everyone your know who did not attend last years convention so that we can get their input as well. Our goal is to announce the location, the dates and the pricing for the convention by the first week of December. Please also feel free to forward any suggestions you may have that are not covered in the survey questions to my personal attention.
We are also looking for individuals who would like to help with next year's convention. If you would like to help with the convention, please send your contact information and the area in which you would like to help to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you for giving us your input!

Happy July 4th America!
Written by Cathy Buscher Monday, 04 July 2011 16:28
Our nation has been engaged in a conflicts throughout our history. We fought the revolution because average citizens decided they were capable of governing themselves and the British thought were not. Our founding fathers wrote a Constitution to enshrine those rights to govern ourselves into an national contract which protected the rights of individuals from an all powerful and oppressive federal government. A generation later, our nation fought a great civil war, a monumental conflict over ideals and eternal truth.
Today’s Patriots have not needed to grab our muskets to challenge the British at Concord or march into certain death at Gettysburg. Rather Patriots today are fighting over the meaning of words enshrined in our constitution. One side believes in absolute and unchangeable truths enshrined in our Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution while others believe there are no absolute truths.
When you celebrate this 4th of July, remember the valor of men who sacrificed their lives for the self evident truths of our Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
When you gather this day with family and Friends to celebrate July 4th, you might solemnly remember how men and women sacrificed their lives to preserve our liberty and have fought to bring liberty to the world. During one such great conflict, Abraham Lincoln delivered these stirring words on a great battlefield that are worth remembering and reciting today.
Gettysburg Address (1863)
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that “all men are created equal”
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow, this ground– The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.
It is rather for us, the living, to stand here, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Rep. Jim Renacci Meets with Tea Party Leaders
Representative Renacci met with a small group of Ohio conservative Tea Party leaders in his Canton office on Friday, May 6th, to discuss his work in Washington for the first couple months of his freshman term in office.
Two questions arose on his performance in the 100 or so days of his initial term. The first question posed by frustrated Tea Party members concerned the promised $100 billion dollars in cuts and his vote in favor of the deal on a budget deal that only cut $39 billion dollars in order to pass the continuing resolution and avoid a government shutdown.
Our First Duty as Tea Party Members
Attacks against members of the tea party frequently heard by liberals who accuse tea party members of being uninformed. Tea party supporters have all suffered the same slurs as Sarah Palin. We have all been called names like racist, bigots and homophobes when talking with liberal neighbors because they believe name calling is a legitamate way of arguing issues. The liberal media have done a great job of stereotyping us so they can marginalize us.
