Come show Congress you’re tired of working for THEM! One guest speaker is John Killian. He has spoken at several TEA parties. He is a pastor of the Maytown Baptist Church near Birmingham. He is an amateur historian and a very dynamic speaker. He is a member of Sons of the Revolution-membership requires ancestral lineage back to involvement in the American Revolution.


Deleted Post

As many of you are aware, this site posted an article this week regarding the removal of campaign signs in Baldwin County. An anonymous letter was sent to one of the writers of this site, which said David Bitto, President of Alfa in Baldwin County, was responsible. The writer also had several other sources for this post. Before leaving our group today, the writer deleted the post and resigned. Since the remaining members of our group have no sources to corroborate this story, we no choice but to retract the story which was previously posted.


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.

Tuscaloosa Tea Party – On the Quad

The Tuscaloosa Tea Party has been approved for the northeast corner of the Quad on April 15th from 5-7:30!  We’re thankful to sites like alabamateaparty.net for helping spread the word.  If you’re in the Tuscaloosa area and can make it, we’d love to see you out there.  We’ll have free Monroe Sausage dogs (so everyone can take a bite out of pork) and, of course, sweet tea to drink, as well as some great speakers.  

One thing we’d love to have from anyone who is coming is to go to our facebook event page and invite all your friends.  The event is open, so anyone can invite anyone on their friend list and include a message for them to do the same thing.  We think this could be a good way to get the ball rolling.   That page can be found here:  http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=161542420216&ref=ts

For updated information on our event, visit this site, http://www.alabamateaparty.net/, and check out our main sponsor’s site:  http://www.squarewon.org/

There are a lot of motivated people in our state and around the country that are determined to make this tax day the beginning of one of the largest grassroots movements in the history of our country – one that will force the big spending politicians on Capitol Hill (Democrats and Republicans alike) to stand up, take notice, and take responsibility.  So, whether you show up in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Montomery, Mobile, or any one of the other events, please come out and be a part of this historic event that will send a clear message to our elected officials!


Thomas Payne on Stimulus Packages

Do you ever wonder what our fore fathers would say about the Stimulus Packages and the state of our country? Here’s a video which describes how we think they would have reacted. Coming from a former history teacher, I think they are dead on.
