Parker Griffith Leave Dems for GOP
The Democratic party has begun closing its tent to moderates, and today we saw the first casualty. Parker Griffith who servers the people of North Alabama’s 5th Congressional district, announced today he will now caucus with the Republicans in the House of Representatives. Personally I do not believe it will save his political career, but I liked his explanation for leaving, “Principles”. Why did he not realize the Democrats lacked his principles a year ago?

Tea Party: Autaugaville, Alabama
The first Tea Party has been scheduled for 2010, and will be hosted by the Big Stick Patriots of Prattville. Sound like they have a great event planned. Thanks to Pam for providing us with the details on this one. Please contact bigstickpatriots@gmail.com for more information.
Retired Arizona sheriff Richard Mack will be speaking in the Prattville area at an informational forum regarding urgent issues we are currently facing; state sovereignty, local autonomy, and the Constitutional authority and role of the county sheriff standing up against the federal government’s encroachment into our lives.
Mack is very qualified to be speaking on these issues. His career began as a police officer in Provo, Utah, where he served until he moved back home to Arizona. He was sheriff for two terms until 1997. During his tenure, federal officers informed the sheriffs of the state that they would be required to enforce the so-called “Brady Bill” and run background checks at their expense under the law. In 1994, Mack and six other sheriffs from across the country, challenged the constitutionality of the Brady Bill and ultimately fought it all the way to the United States Supreme Court, where they won a monumental decision for freedom. Three years later, in a landmark 5-4 split decision based on the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Mack won his case.
Throughout his law enforcement career, he refused to perform any duties that were unconstitutional. According to Mack, “The real danger here is that when we allow government to enforce these kinds of laws, we are surrendering our ability to think and act for ourselves.”
Mack will speak at 7:00 pm at the Kirkpatrick Agriculture Pavilion, on Hwy 14 in Autaugaville, AL, on Monday, January 18, 2010. He is being hosted by the Big Stick Patriots of Prattville, AL. There is no charge for admission, though donations are requested to help defray the cost of the event. Food concessions will also be available for purchase at the pavilion.
Note: This will be the night before the State wide Tea Party in Montgomery.
What Are Your Political Goals for 2010?
I can’t believe I’m actually asking this question. However, with the events of the last year and a half, I believe it is important for Americans to contemplate their political resolutions for 2010. In the comments section below, I’m asking you to leave me your New Year’s resolutions and political goals for the upcoming year. I encourage you to keep it productive, but whatever statement you would like to make is welcomed. We look forward to your comments.
