Democrats Keep Door Open to Dangerous Lame Duck Session

The Admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:24:14 +0000

Washington, Jul 29 - Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after offering a resolution on the floor of the House of Representatives calling on Congress not to hold a lame duck session after Election Day for the purpose of passing hugely unpopular legislation like a national energy tax, enormous deficit spending bills, and the kickback to Big Labor known as “Card Check.”
“Americans are sick and tired of their elected leaders making backroom deals to ram through unpopular, 2000-page bills that no one has read,” said Chairman Price. “They are sick of out-of-touch politicians, and they are tired of being ignored. A number of Democrats, including members of their leadership, have recently expressed a desire to ignore the public will and use a lame duck session to pass liberal legislation Americans do not want. Today I gave my Democrat colleagues an opportunity to show they are finally ready to listen to the American people.

“Our system of government rests upon the consent of the governed, but it is quite clear that Democrats no longer have Americans’ consent. The public’s trust in this Congress has been repeatedly broken. Voting for a national energy tax and other items on the liberal wish list in a lame duck session would shatter it beyond repair. Republicans are fully prepared to do what is necessary to restore Americans’ trust in their elected representatives. We know it will be a long road, but it is one well worth traveling.”

Note: Instead of taking a clear stand on this issue, House Democrats chose to delay a vote on the Price resolution. The text of the resolution is available here.

Keynote Address at the Wilson Tea Party

On Tuesday, April 27^th I was the keynote speaker at the Wilson County, TEA Party Rally. As I was preparing to make the speech, I was inspired to refer to a portion of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s last speech delivered the day before he was assassinated in Memphis, TN. With all of the controversy centered on the Pro-American advocacy of the TEA Party movement, I thought his words were fitting to keep people committed the cause regardless of the hurdles and name calling that is taking place across the country.

Sincerely,

Dr. Tim Johnson
Chairman
The Frederick Douglass Foundation

The Future of the Tea Party

David — Sat, 01 May 2010 14:34:59 +0000

The media has portrayed the tea party membership in a negative light since its inception. The main reason for this is fear. They are afraid that the sleeping giant of the true spirit of the United States will awaken to retake our rightful heritage and rights. The majority of the “tea party movement” is over 50 years of age. The future of the tea party and this country is the next generation of young leaders. As this movement grows and is enhanced by people of all ages, we will succeed.

Joel Killian of the Wilson, NC Tea Party has the qualities that will ensure our success: family values, religious values and the vision to see our country’s future at a young age.

Is the United States Following in the Footsteps of Castro?

David — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:07:07 +0000

Jose Dominguez spoke at the Wilson Tea Party on April 27th, 2010. His personal account of how Castro took over Cuba has chilling similarities to the current Obama Regime. The following videos not only detail how immigration to the United States should be accomplished, they outline that the United States is the last line of defense for freedom in the world.

Jose’s story of growing up in Cuba and watching the people of Cuba turn over their republic to a charismatic “leader” will give everyone of us pause for thought. For the readers of this article who voted for Obama, ask yourself if you will stand up for the United States and save our republic.
