Spencer Tea Party Patriots, along with Sheldon Tea Party Patriots, Storm Lake Tea Party Patriots, Des Moines 912Project, Des Moines Tea Party Patriots, Jones Co. 912 Project, Urbandale SOAR (Suport Our American Republic), Atlantic 912Project,
and Cedar Falls Taking Back America have joined forces to host a Legislative Breakfast in the Des Moines Capitol on Feb. 16th.
The Legislative calendar at the Des Moines Capitol is filled on a daily basis with lobbyist groups hosting breakfasts, lunches and evening receptions. Most notably is the Federation of Labor, an organization representing multiple unions, which hosts a hospitality night bi-weekly while the legislators are in session. Senator
Kibbie’s and Representative Frevert’s endorsement at the January 30th Spencer Eggs & Issues forum, of Collective Bargaining and Fair Share bills (both pro-Union, anti – Right to Work bills) illustrates that lobbying works.
Therefore, Iowa’s freedom groups have decided to band together to host their own breakfast. This is the first time that Tea Party/ 912 Project/Freedom groups from across Iowa have hosted an event together. After the breakfast, the attending representatives from each of the groups will sit down together to network and plan
future strategies. We think working together as a cohesive team will allow us to have more inpact on legislation coming out of the Iowa State capitol. Right now progessive liberals like to dismiss us as radical fringe individuals who do not represent main stream Iowans. Rupublicans like to claim us as a part of their party, but hold us at arms length for fear of us upsetting their moderate agenda

I’m a Sioux Center native now living in Scottsdale, Arizona. I still call Sioux Center “Home” and always will.
I’m also a “Conservative” from birth and thrilled that you guys are doing it right by pooling your ideas, energy and actions in the right direction.
Here in Arizona our Tea Party and 9-12 groups have decided NOT to endorse either John McCain or J.D. Hayworth at this time because it’s too far from the ‘Primaries’ and things can change between now and then. I think that is a wise decision that I would encourage you folks to do as well when it comes time for you to advise your members. (I didn’t and will NOT vote for McCain. I already know what his politics are.)
Don’t give up, keep up the hard work and “Be Careful when the time comes to “Crawl in bed” with someone”…you know what I mean.
Blessings,
