CRYSTAL COAST TEA PARTY PATRIOTS MINUTES
Of
13 December 2011

Meeting was held at Golden Corral Restaurant, Morehead City, NC
Meeting called to order at 6:07pm by Chairman BOB CAVANAUGH
Pledge of Allegiance was led by RUTH PARKER
Invocation by JERE GEURIN

BOB announced that this would be our last meeting of the year.  Our next meeting will be on the second Tuesday of January (10th).
In the interim EULA PARKIN will be celebrating her 85th birthday on December 31st.  (Early Happy Birthday EULA!!!!)  BOB said she had told him she was born in a garage, and he wanted to know if they had garages back then and if so, for what?)  She did not get her birth certificate until she was 20 years old and it showed her mother and father’s correct names but the certificate was for a male born on January 1.  She finally got it straightened out around the time she was to get married.  BOB wished her 85 more, to which she said “Woo”, but she did just get her life time girl scout card, and it expires in 2091!  Are they trying to tell her something?  BOB wanted to know if she would be able to get it renewed.
BOB called on ERIC BROYLES to tell us about “Huba, Huba”.  ERIC had handed out business cards (or really informational cards).  He had also put up sign/s/posters he had made up to advertise his web site had had made up.  He had gotten tired of people telling him that we could not do anything about putting Americans back to work and about the illegal immigration situation.  Effective today, he is announcing the launching of “Huba-Huba-Huba”.  Even though it is just going official today, it has already had 7000 hits,  It is “Hire American, Buy American”.  It is time to put Americans to work.  (Or US citizens because you can also say Central Americans, South Americans, and even Canadian Americans are American citizens also.)  Besides being an informational web site, it has been designed to be very easy to use; it has a volunteer section where you can download graphics for signs, and postcards right now, but shortly a business card will also be covered.  We do not currently sell products on this site because he does not want to make it a non-profit organization.  He just wants it to be a grass roots movement.  The way we promote this is through word of mouth; just like ten or fifteen years ago we had a ‘buy America’ program in this country.  As a result of that ‘buy America’ program China opened plants here and now employ 371 thousand Americans, because they were afraid of being locked out of the market.  LOU KUKULINSKI asked “Didn’t 60 minutes just have a documentary on Buy America?  Someone had a website where they had all American companies producing all over the world?”  ERIC said he had not seen that website but had seen some others similar.  LOU said there was one website where the guy had you could buy anything you wanted made in America.  He did not have any nail companies; however there is one nail company someplace in Indiana.  LOU said it was on last Sunday night or the Sunday night before.  PEGGY said ABC news with Diane Sawyer had had a segment on where they had gone into homes and removed everything that was not made in America; which had surprised everyone  because, when they had finished, the rooms were almost totally bare. It had been almost impossible to refurnish the homes totally with made in America products.  ERIC said he had decided not to list companies that support hiring Americans, because he is afraid he may miss some and make them angry.  Wanted to avoid law suits.  The less you say about a company’s hiring practices the better off you are.  That does not mean the citizens should not be aware that there is a business in Florida or wherever, that is using illegal labor, that you can just boycott by word of mouth.  Just say, we are not going to buy your products until you change your business practices of hiring illegals.  LOU said he went to the website he was referring to right after the 60 minutes program and there were hundreds of people saying ’I’ll buy all my products from these companies (products made in America) even if I have to go out of my way for it, even if it costs me a couple of extra bucks to purchase it.  The night he logged on there was over 7000 hits.  WAYNE WILLIS asked ERIC if he could redo his calling cards with a different color.  The dark background made them hard to read for him, especially the web address being in red on the blue.  ERIC said he would see what he could come up with.  He had been trying to do ‘red, white and blue’ for America. ERIC had samples of postcards that you could call up when going on his website.  You can also run off copies of the posters he had printed up and had posted behind BOB tonight.  You can put them up in your yard or wherever you can find a suitable place.  The thing is to get the word out.  LOU said he goes for tee shirts.  ERIC said he was trying to get the price on having some of the cards made up at Staples, because he is also going to try to work a deal where you can buy business cards like these, at a cheap price, so as a volunteer you can just hand them out as you go through grocery stores, or wherever, just everywhere.  LOU said he thought he should put on the other side of the card “Abolish the EPA”.  ERIC laughed and said he was only going with the ‘Hire American’ thing.  The website is up and still going through some changes.  Right now he has decided not to list the people or businesses that support it.  He does not want a law suit over something he is trying to do as a private citizen.  He reminded us that he had some more cards for anyone wanting more to pass out.  ERIC said he had called Sen. Burr and Rep. Jones’ offices today and they both told him they had already received several inquiries even though he had not officially launched the website.  He had only been handing out the calling cards wherever he had gone with people being very receptive to taking them,.  His time grocery shopping had doubled for him with all the stopping and talking with interested people he met and gave the cards to.  We already know Congress is not going to do anything about it.  But now we can say ’do you support this?’  This way you are indirectly forcing their hand on it.  What are they going to say “No, I don’t support hiring Americans”.  This way they have to take a stand.  ERIC believes this thing is going to spread like wild fire.  NORMAN KENT asked ERIC if he had done his own website or had hired it out.  ERIC said “no, he had done it himself”.  BOB said “A made in America website”.  ERIC said ’Yep, American made by American labor.”
BOB said he had already been doing his part.  What has built this country is over decades of generations the US has been an exporting nation.  In other words we had a positive balance of trade going on, so the wealth of other nations kept coming in to our country in the form of profits and the taxes on those profits that built our infrastructure (our roads, bridges, sewers, canals, and all that).  Then sometime in the mid 70’s we became a net importer as opposed to an exporter.  Anyway back in February, he started an Ebay Store.  He has had a hobby of collecting butterflies since he was ten. He has collected all over the world; even as a Marine,  so in February he began selling his exotic/tropical butter-flies that he has mounted on driftwood under glass domes and he is selling these things all over the world and he sold $1,400.00 worth to a guy in Germany.  Therefore he is bringing the wealth of the world back into the US (and to Broad Creek).  FRED DECKER said we had so much oil in this country, we should be oil exporters.
BOB recognized WAYNE WILLIS for an update on his POP game.  WAYNE said the website that he had talked about is in the process of being developed by his IT girl from Harkers Island, because he does not have sense enough to do what ERIC did and develop his own.  She is in the same class room as the young man who helped with writing the software for the game.  She is going to set it up so she can put over versions in there.  He got her started this morning on getting the website up and it will be when she gets through with that, he is going to take it to the radio station and get him to polish it, because it may have some barnacles on it, since it was made in Harkers Island by an IT girl.  When he gets through with it, (come to think of it, he is from Harkers Island and he did the cover).  If anyone needs some of that kind of stuff done, he recommends Shane Willis at the Talk Station.   He does an excellent job, and is cheap (that is part of what excellent means to WAYNE).  Anyway that will be available and when it is done he is going to get with KEN LANG and he is going to put it on the TEA Party Patriot website.  Hopefully from there, it can spring on to the other TEA Party organizations that have websites for stuff like that.  Maybe we can pick up some loose change for the TEA Party treasury and keep him from losing his house.  He said he had not been back to the school board with it; not had the time because he had other business to take care of.  He does plan to go back to the Superintendent of Public Instruction in Charge of Curriculum and maybe they will start using it.  Wanted to know if anyone who bought a copy last week had any questions, criticize it or whatever?  The reason he wanted us to buy first, and use them and spread them around was to get us to ask why did you do this, or what was that for?
LOU said, ’speaking about making waves – did you all see Captain Steve Miller’s letter to the editor this week on Ken Humphrey’s letters?’  WAYNE said, ’he’s been good the last few weeks’.  LOU said Miller’s been kicking old Ken’s butt all over the county.
Discussion on Jerusalem, King Solomon’s Temple, Muslim religion, etc. (Too many talking at once to be able to get any semblance of order as to what was being said.)
BOB said ’Some of the things going on with the TEA Party Patriots – they are not sure if they have all the problems corrected or not, but they have a straw pole on presidential picks (he thinks it is this weekend).  Check teapartypatriots.org (Sunday night) and keeping in mind that the TEA Party is not going to endorse one candidate or another regardless who wins, but they will let it be known who won the straw pole.  The other thing is they are talking about a couple of rallies in the spring.  One is in March in front of the Supreme Court.  The Supreme Court is going to be working on two very important issues – the Arizona Law and the Obamacare Law.  They are talking about having a big rally up there – and then they are already starting to talk about a tax day rally in DC.  Nothing is firmed up yet, just talk right now, but keep checking in on the website for any breaking news on that.  He will keep us up to speed on anything he finds out.  Nobody on any of the conference calls has seemed to be pro-Romney, or pro-Gingrich, or pro-anybody.  It is so far being pretty much left up to the folks to decide on their own.  The TEA Party is a bottoms up not a top down organization.
ERIC said he would like to bring up two subjects.  Since he had missed a couple of meetings, he did not know if we had already talked about it, but Bill 1867, he thinks it is a bill for the military.  The language in it seems to give the military a right to arrest US citizens and detain them without trial.  Several said that was the Defense Authorization Act.  NORMAN (I think it was) said he had heard something about it on the radio, that someone said the language was leaving it open to ’what is the definition of a terrorist?’ and he does not have anything in black and white but he has been told if you have seven days of food storage, you can be defined as a terrorist.  The thing is it does away with passe-comma-tat-us (please excuse the spelling, did not know enough about how to spell it to even look it up in the dictionary) (you know that is where US troops are not supposed to be used against US personnel.) That is the number one crime that the pro-illegal people would use.  You can’t put our troops on the borders, because that would violate that act.  It seems they are not worried about the illegal aliens.  They are worried about us and so not they define where like they said you got seven day of food storage, own guns, you can be considered a terrorist.  So they can detain you and not give you your Constitutional right to a speedy and fair trial.  BOB said ‘that ain’t going to become no law.  What is the other issue you have.”  NORMAN said the Defense Authorization Act has been passed in the House if he remembers right.  It went to the Senate.  RUTH PARKER said it had not been passed yet.  LOU said if it has been passed, then all those people up there know the people are really upset.  ERNIE GUTHRIE said they will not release the names of those who voted for it.  LOU said ‘imagine that!  That should be illegal in itself’.  BOB discussed the various websites you could go to to find that information.  ERNIE discussed the Home Grown Terrorist Act.
BOB asked ERIC what was the other bill he wanted to talk about?  ERIC said he had received an email from Walter B. Jones and the email was basically talking about a bill that was passed in 2009 when the Democrats were in control that could be used as  bailout funds.  As you all know it is melting down.  They are not looking at possibly using that 108 billion to rescue Europe.  Discussion on how far that 108 billion would go today with all the problems in Europe.  JERE GEURIN said we had already rescued Europe – it was called World War II.  PAT NALITZ said yeah and they didn’t appreciate that.  ERIC said they point is he would recommend that everyone call their congressman, senator and tell them that you are against that money being spent.  BOB said didn’t all the World Banks get together for that.  ERIC said that is why the market is up 200 points one day and down 200 points the next, because they can’t settle their differences over there.  NORMAN said there is so much debt, that no one wants to buy all that debt when you know it is going to be worthless.  Look at the unemployment situation going up.  Whoever gets stuck with the hot potato last – LOU said just look at the American economy.  BOB said it is one of these deals where everybody says I’ll buy your worthless papers as long as you keep buying mine.  At some point along the way someone is going to say ‘I’ve got enough toilet paper, I don’t need anymore of that’.
WAYNE asked ‘what did we think of this guy that has more money than Donald Trump?’  The one that is going to run against Putin of Russia.  PAT said she heard he was only running to take the heat of Putin.  In other words the people that are unhappy with Putin will have another choice.  NORMAN said it is all a ruse.  It has all been bought and paid for.  ERNIE asked if anyone had ever noticed how Putin walks with his hands by his side.  That is his training with the KGB.  His hands are always ready to grab his pistol if he needs it.  Like the cowboys of the west used to do
JERE asked how many were members of the NRA?  How many of you own guns?  In the latest issue of the American Rifleman is a very interesting article about Obama’s secret undercover campaign to take away our guns.  LOU said actually that was what that Fast & Furious really was all about.  Discussion on Fast & Furious.  JERE said Obama is after our guns and they are going to do us just like they did in England.  They go one step at a time and before you know it the only ones who will have guns are the criminals.  LOU asked if we had seen where all the major gun and ammunition makers and suppliers are being bought out by George Soros.  Much concern was displayed.  WAYNE said one thing you didn’t ask while ago is ‘how many in here have a permit to carry a concealed weapon?’  BOB said he didn’t want the cops or any law officer know he even had a gun.  If they pass a law, the first thing they’ll do is pull out that list of permits, and say ok let’s go this his, and his, and his.  I don’t want them to know I have a gun.  ERNIE said even if you don’t have a concealed weapon permit your name is still in the system for buying a gun.  Comments of ‘only if you bought it legally – and not on the black marker’.  LOU said as a retired Marine, BOB’s name would be on the list anyway.  ERIC said he looked at it this way – they are going to pick up 80 million people, the prisons are going to be overcrowded and so they are going to have to start releasing some of us again.  BOB said they would let the illegal aliens out first.  LOU said that all the sales of hunting licenses in all the states was more than the largest two armies in the whole world.  There are more hunters in the US than the two largest armies in the world.
WAYNE asked if we heard what they asked Hirohito after the war was over…how come they didn’t invade the US.  He said because you are talking about invading a place where everybody there has a gun.  BOB said the Supreme Court would have to overturn the Second Amendment first before they took our guns.  There will be enough people to rise up like the TEA Party.  Discussion on the Supreme Court and the recent appointments.  ERIC said you can tell where they are going with this – to a Nazi-type government.  NORMAN said in the late 1990’s they asked Military personnel, you know part of the interview process, ‘if called to, would you be able to arrest your parents, cousins, grandparents, family members, etc.  What they found out was that most of them would not.  They would have to form a totally different government controlled militia, because they could not rely on the current military.  LOU said yes because about 85% percent of the military is against Obama.   HOWARD said maybe that is why he has talked about establishing his own rather than the military.  ERNIE said he thought what we were going to see was a force put together, an anti-terrorist force.  But you are going to see that one day, you will look at them and say I’ve never seen a uniform like that before.  And they are going to have the power to do anything they want to.  The people we are up against are willing to do anything to anybody to maintain their power.  We say oh, we outnumber them, but our military is a killing machine if it is worked just right.  LOU said not just the military, Code Pink said they were coming down and desecrate the Viet Nam memorial on a Saturday, so all these idiots when they came, were met by 300,000 bikers.  Do you know how many bikers there are in this country.  You won’t be taking guns or nothing else away from them.  There’s over 150 motorcycle gangs just in NC.  NORM said you know what you made me think of….about the 2000 election.  He went down to Florida and they were talking about the proving grounds where they had all these wonderful tools that they had been using.  What it was they could make jet sounds (2 jet engines going off).  It was so deafening that all you wanted to do was cram your fingers in your ears.  They had hot laser, where you felt like all your skin had been burnt off and this was on the national news.  This was during that time you got Iraqi freedom (or a little after that)….he was thinking ‘what are you going to do…you’re after Osama Bin Laden….you’re going to drop these on the mountains there.  No!  This stuff was not made to go to combat, against a foreign opposition.  It had been made for here.  BOB said all this sounds like conspiracy to him and he does not believe any of it.  LOU said ‘one more thing, Code Pink did not desecrate the Viet Nam memorial.
HOWARD said RUTH had brought up something before the meeting started, that we may need to discuss and that is to try to stop DOT from desecrating this highway out here by taking out the turn lane.  Doug Harris was meeting with the Transportation Committee yesterday afternoon.  Sammy Turner, former police chief in Morehead told him Sunday, that Doug had figures that proved DOT wrong about the accident frequency here.  He had called Doug and left him a message on his answering machine for him to please use all the power he had to try to stop them from spoiling this highway, because those arrogant bureaucrats need stopping.  And he had also called Pat McElraft, and left a similar message on her answering machine, saying also that he hoped they had the power to do something about it.  He thought by telling them he hoped they had the power that maybe it would kind of put them on the spot and see if they wouldn’t exercise their power.  It is going to hurt every business along this road, he believes.  LOU said ‘look at Havelock, they’ve destroyed their road also’.  HOWARD said he thought it was the arrogant bureaucrats that had to show they were in power.  LOU said right there in front of that Tire Store just the other side of Bojangles there is a turn lane there and both arrows are pointed at each other.   Now how do you make any sense in that.  HOWARD said when they first put that traffic light at 70/24/and Bridges Street, he was there waiting for the light to turn green so he could make a turn from 70 onto Bridges Street.  When the light changed he almost had a head on with a car making a left turn from 70 onto 24.  The first time it happened, he thought he had screwed up; but when it happened again later, he discovered they had both left turns moving at the same time but with only one turn lane to travel in.  So he called Highway Patrol and in a day or so, they got it corrected.  PEGGY said there is still only one lane there but they changed the light to only let one left turn at a time go through.  BOB said he told RUTH before the meeting about being down there at the new cigar store next to the old Subway that closed, and was waiting to turn left to come towards the Golden Corral and letting the traffic clear.  And he is looking at a lady coming from the right and another lady coming from the left, both with left turn signals going, and both are in the turn lane.  They are looking at each other and ran slam into one another head on.  ERIC said well that is just dumb a– stupidity.  A change in the road can’t correct stupidity.  BOB said that’s true, but that is why they want to put a median in the road here, to keep them people out of the turn lanes.  BOB said neither wanted to give.  RUTH said it is going to hurt business.  HOWARD asked if anyone there remembered the jug handles that used to be there when they first built those highways?  You had to pull over into the right hand turnoff (jug handle) and then cross all four lanes to get to the jug handle on the other side of the road.  You pulled into that area and then pulled out onto the highway again, just to turn left.  HOWARD said it looked like to him that these traffic engineers are probably trained as morons.  You look at this new shopping center (where Michaels’ is), how screwed that design is in trying to get into the shopping area.  BOB said he is sure that this job out here is one of Obama’s shovel ready projects.  HOWARD said not it is some bureaucrat in Raleigh wanting to get him and his Raleigh buddies to the beach faster.  RUTH said she thought we should get up a petition, and she will go from business to business getting support opposing the change.  PEGGY said she would be glad to make up the petitions for her to get signed as soon as we decide what to put on the petition.  If you’ve got people sitting looking right at each other and still run smack into one another, why should the businesses along that portion of the highway suffer because of people’s stupidity.  NORMAN said the sickness that has overtaken DC has trickled down.  HOWARD said supposedly Doug Harris has got a study from somewhere, and he has not talked to him yet, that contradicts what DOT is claiming on 70.  BOB asked ‘where is the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce”?  Where are all these organizations that are supposed to be looking out for businesses.  He doesn’t think the TEA Party should take this problem on.  Obviously the business community is say “Oh well”.  LOU asked JIM NALITZ his opinion on the matter since he had been so quiet tonight.  JIM said it didn’t affect him, he lived in Cape Carteret.  He was told ‘you better, they may be coming after you next.’  The people in Havelock probably thought the same thing before it hit them right between the eyes.  HOWARD asked if anyone had ever been to a so called public hearing put on by bureaucrats.  What they do instead of asking you, some wheel gets up there and tells you what they are going to do.  That is considered a hearing.  The decision has been made and here is what we are going to do and they want you to amen it.  That’s the way it works.  He has been to some put on by the Corps of Engineers.  The Colonel steps up and (here’s the biggest lie in the country) says, “I’m from the Government and I’m here to help you!!!”.  BOB said ’being a state highway, he is sure they posted it on the public comments state website, just like they tried to ram that sulfur plant through.  They said it had been posted on the website.  People have got to plug in.  Who wants to monitor the state website everyday to keep us up to speed.  WAYNE said ’in case you didn’t know that bridge across Galant’s Channel, they’ve already started, and he has not seen anything about it in the paper or what have you.  Talking about redundancy in the government, the last time I got that ticket for passing that school bus that wasn’t there, Beaufort was trying to pay for that water line that went out there to East Carteret.  It was on the west side of the road, so the ticket he got three weeks ago for failing to yield right of way is to help Beaufort pay for another set of water lines that is going out there because they have to use the ones on the other side of the road to keep from using the ones they put there four years ago.  So that’s what is going on, they are doing that because the new road when the new bridge is built, it is going to take up there at Oak Wood Acres (5 miles or so, east of Beaufort).  So they are having to put in 5 miles of new water lines because the other one is on the wrong side of the road.  He hopes they hurry up and get through with it because he going to get another ticket before it is over.  WAYNE was asked what the difference was in a white pipe and a green pipe.   WAYNE said one was water and the other sewer.
BOB asked if anyone here belonged to the Chamber of Commerce?  LOU said ’indirectly’.  ‘The Republican Men’s Club does.’   It seems to him that to fight the highway thing there, the ones that are affected are all those businesses along there, so it has to be their battle.  And if they don’t want to fight that battle then we will all have to suffer the consequences of whatever it is.  This fight should have been fought a long time ago before it even got to this stage.  Apparently the money has already been appropriated and they had got their plans laid, so he doesn’t know what they are going to do.  WAYNE said they have already blocked off a place down where the old Sears used to be.  They just placed pipes blocking  the prior crossover and did away with it without anything ever being said.  No; ‘do you like it or don’t you‘.  They just did it.  BOB said the other thing he had seen out there was people using the turn lane to pass or accelerating.  BOB said he wouldn’t know how to address that.  You would have to look at the public safety study as to the number of accidents/fatalities occurring.  Like when the doctor’s daughter died there by Kittrell’s (Friendly Road), and they put in a stop light.  JERE said DOT’s answer to every traffic problem is more asphalt and concrete.  They will not be happy until the entire earth is covered with asphalt.
LOU told BOB he knew it was just going to devastate him, but this is probably his last meeting until the end of March.  He is going to Carteret Community College.  BOB said maybe he’d be back in time to help with the rally/fundraiser.  Said if we need him to call him.  (No parades between now and then)
HOWARD reminded all about the Board of Education seats becoming available in the next election.  Both seats in Morehead and one in Newport.  We need to be looking.
BOB announced that Richard Hunt’s father passed away and the memorial service would be tomorrow in Cape Carteret.
STEVE BEST said this coming Sunday he would be showing The Nativity Story at the Cave.  He would have chili and popcorn.  5:00pm.
BOB offered the advice that could save you a lot of time on the internet – if it has could, might, maybe, possibly, in the title, it is all just made up stuff, just trying to make a story;  ignore it.  HOWARD said ‘well with all these environmentalists, it is could, maybe, might, etc. That is their whole thing.
HOWARD said there is going to be another session on wind power and looking at who is conducting it, it is going to be a totally 100 degree slant from the one we saw.  Everyone agreed that the seminar put on by the John Locke Foundation was excellent.
The speakers were all well informed and held their own when challenged by some in the audience.  WAYNE said he had been unable to attend the seminar and it was not mentioned in the paper or in the letter that Fred Fulcher wrote about that meeting after it was over with.  Fred is a representative on the Carteret Craven Electric Board and he had a real good letter and WAYNE said he was going to tell us something that should have been said in that meeting – that a year and a half or two years ago Progress Energy and Duke went down here and did a study on the pros and cons of putting wind power, solar power or any other kind of power (renewal resources) one in the north end of Pamlico Sound or Currituck Sound and another study about putting wind mills off shore.  Close to the shore and off in the ocean just like all this stuff they were talking about over there last week.  When they got through doing the math, what it figured out to was no matter what they did or how good it was, or how cheap anything was installed, or maintained, serviced, it would cost 25 cent a kilowatt more for what electricity they got from it.  On the retailers’ end of the light bill.  250% of what you are paying right now. BOB said they did have charts that showed statistics relating to that.  He wasn’t exactly sure of the figures but those sounded about right.  BOB said one of the things he got out of it was not so much about making money, it is about getting government subsidies.  WAYNE said that is where the money came from to start with.  Just like Solendra.  BOB said when you start getting subsidies, you pay yourself a couple of million dollars a year or whatever, and if the thing goes bankrupt, it’s alright, you’ve got your golden parachute.  LOU said (a professor I think) said no matter how much energy you produce you can not get more than 25% of the needs.  You still need another 75% of fossil fuel to provide all the power we need.  HOWARD said one of those in opposition brought up how much fuel the windmills were going to save.  The speakers told them there was not electricity generated by petroleum (natural gas, yes).  So then one of the opposition said ’well, they cut the top of the mountain.  LOU said every time there is a hurricane, his electricity is furnished by fossil fuel, when he cranks up the generator.  HOWARD said one of the things that caught his attention was how many bats the windmills would kill.  He said he was sitting there thinking ’so what’.  Then the speakers brought out how the bats control the insect population and doing away with the bats how much more per year it would cost for chemicals to tend crops to control the insects.  It was a tremendous cost.  He could not remember the exact amount.  WAYNE said the next thing you are going to hear is not having windmills is the reason there is no skunks anymore.  If you have been around here a while there used to be a lot.  Now there is none.  HOWARD said ’they cycle’.  LOU said he had one under his house last year.  WAYNE said ’that was the last one there was, then’.  FRED said there used to be a lot of wild boar but there ain’t none now.  WAYNE said but we now have coyotes and wolves now.
BOB wanted to know if there was any more TEA Party to be brought up.  HOWARD reminded BOB to inform Golden Corral management that we would not be meeting for the next three weeks.
JERE said don’t forget the May primary and the Marriage Act Amendment.
BOB adjourned the meeting at 7:10 pm.
