What Tea Parties Are About
Tea Parties are rapidly growing across our Country.
There is much confusion as to what we are all about. Some people on the Left
side have called us Tea Baggers, astro turf, un-Patriotic, and even terrorists.
As an active participant in many Tea Parties, let me tell you what they are all
about.
I see as much enthusiasm at the Dems and Repubs Conventions, elections, and Town
Hall Meetings. So why chastise us for congregating together to express our
opinions? There is a lot of discussion and information being exchanged.
Lawmakers and speakers inform us about what is going on in our government.
Patriotic entertainment is at an all time high. All the Tea Parties I have
attended have begun with a prayer for our Country. Our Country's National Anthem
is sung along with many other patriotic songs. All this combined, makes the
event very inspiring and enthusiasm is flowing. The Patriotism among the people
is unbelievable. I don't carry a tune so do not usually sing in public, but I
feel so inspired that I belt out all the off notes!
Many people in this Country do not know or understand what is happening to this
Country. The Tea Parties and other grass roots organizations are trying to reach
out to these people in a fun and very Patriotic way. There is no partisanship at
these gatherings. I have run across a very Bipartisan group of people;
Independents, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Catholics, Protestants,
Gays, Whites, Hispanics, Orientals, Jews, Blacks (as some prefer not to be
called African Americans because they are Americans), Native Americans, Indians,
and probably even some Muslims. These people all gather to share their
Patriotism, love for this Country and one another. They are able to express
their concerns and learn from other people.
Many of these people have written to members of Congress, the President, and
State Lawmakers most people say they never hear any response. If they do receive
a response, they do not understand what they are saying or the reply is a vague
generic response. We want to know and understand what is happening in this
country.
We are not uniting to start any trouble, we want someone in DC to listen to what
we want. I have been at the Parties when demonstrators who don't believe in what
we stand for have been there with their signs promoting Health Care and their
views. Patriots had bigger signs and flags that they were able to cover the
signs. Most of them are very peaceful, when asked what they liked about Health
Care, they would not answer. I wonder if they really understand what is in the
Health Care Bill. It would have been interesting to have had a debate.
This is our Country and we have the right to know. Many of the local grass roots
have monthly meetings where they discuss the Politics of this Country. We have
met many people at these events and keep in touch with them through the
internet, sharing ours and others views on various subjects.
January 19, 2010, history was made. The citizens of Mass. elected an independent
to become the first Republican Senator in over 40 years. Senator Scott Brown an
Independent ran on the Republican ticket and took the Democratic state by a
landslide! NOW THAT IS CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. Despite all the Dems who have
said that Tea Parties do not do a thing, the people of Mass. listened to us.
They pulled together and informed the people what is really going on. Our voices
are being heard. We are making a difference.
