I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.
Frederick Douglass
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
On September 17, 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the document they had created. We encourage all Americans to observe this important day in our nation’s history by attending local events in your area. Celebrate Constitution Day through activities, learning, parades and demonstrations of our Love for the United States of America and the Blessings of Freedom Our Founding Fathers secured for us.
This week thousands of people are heading to Washington for the Taxpayers’ March On D.C. 9/12. A clear message is being sent that we are the people and we are fed up with D.C. Politics and blatant disregard of our Constitution!
While you may be unable to attend the events in D.C., please join with us in
supporting this movement in a “Send a Message to D.C.” campaign. Over the next couple of days, please call your representatives in Washington, letting them know
that even though you were not able to attend the March, you fully support the
initiative. Please call:
President Barack Obama and VP Joe Biden: (202)456-1111
Senator Chuck Grassley: (202)224-3744
Senator Tom Harkin: (202)224-3254
Representative Steve King: (202)225-4426
Suggestions of what to say: “I wish I could be there, but am unable to. For every person you see in D.C., know that there are hundreds more of us back home who couldn’t go. You were elected to represent the people, and the people are speaking.
Listen to them!” -
May God bless those who make this journey and may He bless all of our efforts
in this endeavor to save our country from socialism!

{an excerpt from a post by bstein80 titled “Why we must March On Washington” http://912dc.org/2009/08/why-we-must-march-on-washington/
Now we come to the heat of August, and the protests and town hall meetings are keeping the pressure on the politicians. As one woman in Pennsylvania told a prominent senator, “You have awakened a sleeping giant.” This month the media and the left will continue to write us off, or malign us, but we will press on. And once the dust settles and the politicians return to Washington, they will think that it is all over. They only wish.
As the politicians return, we will follow them to Washington. We will come from every state, in big cities and small towns, to descend upon the capitol building with one voice. Our message will be a simple one: we demand our freedom. We reject the growth of the federal government and want our republic restored. This is not, and never will be, a socialist nation.
We will march on Washington on September 12th because we must. Because we have to turn the temperature up on the politicians to remind them once again that we will not go quietly into the night. We will work harder and out-organize the taxpayer-funded left wing groups like ACORN. We, the producers of this country will not be taken over by the looters and their representatives in Congress.
A march on Washington is necessary because it is the natural next step for a growing movement that started with a spark in Cape Coral, Florida and Elkhart, Indiana. A movement where a handful of people inspired others thousands of miles away to take to the streets because if the folks in Cape Coral could do it, so could the folks in Elkhart. We march on Washington because it will take a massive gathering of liberty-loving Americans to make such an impact on Congress and the president that we stop the current slide to socialism. When the national and international press see that the American people have gathered by the thousands in one place, at one time, to stand in solidarity with the constitution and the declaration of independence, no longer will we be written off.
We have the opportunity to come together at this march and make our mark in a way that previous Americans before us have done. We can keep the flame of liberty lit for future generations, but we all have to put in the work to do so. We are only two weeks away from September 12th, a day in which we can finally speak in one, loud voice for freedom. I believe that if we can pull this off, we can stop the government takeover of health care and the energy sector, and stop this rapid socialist experiment before it eliminates any more of our liberty.
My personal appeal to you is to spend the next two weeks helping to spread the word about this event. Charter a bus, recruit more people, call talk radio and do everything else in your power to alert your fellow Americans to this cause. If we work together we can make history and throw a counter punch to big government that will put it on the ropes. From there, we can begin regaining our liberty and restoring our republic to its original founding. This is why we must march on Washington on September 12th.
Great book! Discover the 28 Principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. Learn how adherence to these beliefs during the past 200 years has brought about more progress than was made in the previous 5,000 years.
Principles of Liberty
#1. The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is Natural Law.
#2. A free people cannot survive under a republican constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong.
#3. The most promising method of securing a virtuous and morally stable people is to elect virtuous leaders.
#4. Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained.

We had a wonderful day meeting new patriot friends at Sheldon’s Celebration Days parade and at the booth! Please join us at meetings and let your voice be heard.
Quiz #1 - “A constitution founded on these principles introduces knowledge among the people, and inspires them with a conscious dignity becoming freemen; a general emulation takes place, which causes good humor, sociability, good manners, and good morals to be general. That elevation of sentiment inspired by such a government, makes the common people brave and enterprising. That ambition which is inspired by it makes them sober, industrious, and frugal.”
Who said that?
#3 – “I think we can say that the Constitution reflected an enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day, and the framers had that same blind spot…The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society….The Constitution is a chart of negative liberties, says what the states can’t do to you, says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf. And that hasn’t shifted.”
Who said that?

Tea Party Patriots will have an entry in the parade in Sheldon on Labor Day, September 3. You are welcome to join us as we walk along with a patriotic 1939 truck displaying flags, playing patriotic music. We will be handing out pocket constitutions for people to take home and read, study and learn about our great government set up by our founding fathers. God has truly blessed America. May He continue to do so.
We will also have an information booth set up in the park. Come visit with us, find out who we are and what we do -and what you can do too if you also love freedom.
