The 'Sleeping Giant' has been awakened!
I liken the events since last summer, the Tea Parties, Town Halls, 9/12 March in DC and across the country, rallies and more rallies, to what America did in the wake of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. People of all ages and backgrounds coming together as Americans have always done in the face of imminent danger, standing side by side United by a Common Cause, a Common Enemy and shouting ‘WE ARE MAD AS HELL AND WE ARENT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE’!
Yes, the Attack on American Liberty and our Founding Principles and Values by president Obama has had much the same effect that the attack of Pearl Harbor had on our Nation in 1941. It has, as a famous line from a movie said so well, …’awakened a sleeping giant’!
It started relatively small and has grown steady as the days, weeks and months have gone by. We started out crawling and, as necessity dictates in all human endeavors, we learned to walk and are now a formidable force with a voice that can be heard from sea to shining sea! In these last several months, we have hit Congress with a constant barrage, salvo after salvo of direct hits by our faxes and e-mails followed by a bombardment of letters delivered ‘right on target’ by FedEx followed by visits by the ground troops to their offices and of course, those now scarce town hall meetings creating a ‘Shock and Awe’ that has made history! They don’t know what hit them, they are still trying to figure out just what to do and how to handle us. So, in the mean time they try to ignore us, dismiss us as ‘tea baggers’ say we are less in number than we actually are. Perhaps they are trying to convince themselves that this is just a bad dream and when they wake up we will not be there. Or perhaps they think we are like the boogie man in the closet and by putting their heads under the covers we will just go away! But we are sending a message, ‘WE WILL NOT BE DENIED OUR LIBERTY’ and everyday it gets louder and louder. The question we asked last week, CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? is being answered and we see the answer in many places, like the Rasmussen polls. And yes, there are some ‘top’ democrats that are squirming in their seats as well due to polls showing them behind their challengers!
The latest Rasmussen poll shows that our message is spreading and everyday more and more people are waking up and realizing the tyranny that is taking place in our nation’s capitol. This week the percentage of people opposed to government run health care has gained 2 points and the week prior to that we gained 2 points as well! We now stand, as a NATION at 54% opposed and 42% in favor. So we are making a difference, we are and the pressure is definitely on, but DO NOT pat yourself on the back yet! We have a long way to go, this is but one of many battles that must be fought in order to win the war against the statist.
An important point to remember here is that the polls taken are of average, everyday Americans. This is a random cross section of our nation and the growing opposition proves two things clearly. First, WE THE PEOPLE are reaching out to our fellow Americans with an undeniable message, asking intelligent questions and giving responsible answers. And 2, THEY WORK FOR US and we have the power to put them back in their rightful place of ‘SERVING AMERICA’ not making America Serve THEM! We have been professional, rational and courteous even when faced with bullying tactics and in your face confrontations. This continued intelligent, rational behavior has contributed greatly to our success. For those of us in the 9/12 project, we have heeded Glenn Becks call to peaceful action. As we charge up the hill, we must REMEMBER this and DO NOT cave in to the temptations to get even a little violent. We will be provoked and we will be tested, but it is a trap and we must not fall for it.
So, what do we do now? The same thing we have been doing! Talk to your neighbors, approach those who you have been putting off for one reason or another, keep calling, faxing, e-mailing EVERYDAY! I categorically oppose ANY AND ALL legislation they are attempting to push through, just based on the FACT that they OPPOSE OUR DEMANDS to post for a measly 72 hours should be reason enough for ANYONE to oppose ALL of it. But if you feel better about it by being specific, then here are some key areas to focus on in your communications with our ‘representatives’.
Health care
Cap and Trade
The UN’s Copenhagen Treaty
The ‘Net Neutrality Rules’
2010 ELECTIONS
Maybe you know of more, that’s great! Let ‘em have it! Pick one or many or Categorically Oppose EVERYTHING (they have certainly demonstrated they cannot be trusted, on ANYTHING). Everything we do, every letter, fax and e-mail we send, every rally we attend builds our case and every time they chose to ignore us, adds to our foundation and makes us stronger!

Thank You for your time, effort, energy, dedication and sacrifice and for the continued fight against this oppressive regime.
