To The Editor:

                   Come Join the Tea Party

Fourscore and seven years after this nation was founded it suffered the horrible effects of a civil war. Booth prevented the wounds of that conflict from being treated as Lincoln intended. Still the nation survived. A century and a half after the Civil War, the entire fabric of American life is again headed for destruction at light speed. Death by a thousand cuts is our destiny in ways unthinkable by Lincoln or Washington if common sense is not soon applied again to our national policies. This current challenge to the survival of the nation will not be overcome by more apathy.

Called by scholars “America’s Placid Decade”, the 1950s marked the end of peace and quiet in practically every aspect of American life. With only a few exceptions politicians have presided over half a century when the inmates ran the prison.  The insane have been in charge of the asylum. The majority of eligible voters slept through it.

The good news is that Independent voters have been aroused from the nap they started taking about 1960. In February 2009 these independents decided they had been Taxed Enough Already and started the second American TEA Party. Their half-century nap was over. As completely grassroots, non- homogeneous, and unaffiliated with any political party, these patriotic citizens are your only hope of a future for you and your descendants in this country. They proved it on November 2,2010.

If you intend to continue to live in the United States it is time for you also to wake up.  You are hereby challenged to begin participating in a local Tea Party group wherever you may live. In Carteret County you can get acquainted online at crystalcoastteaparty.com If there is not a group close by you start one.  The Tea Party organizations nationwide are composed of volunteer patriotic citizens. Their only goal is for good government for a “change”’.  Tea Party Patriots are doing all they can to save your country, but freedom is not free. Wake up from that long nap and help these republicans with a “little r” keep the American ship of state afloat.

If you don’t know what a republican with a little “r” is come to the Golden Corral at 6 on Tuesday night and  find out.
