“Free Market Warrior” Loren Spivack to Speak at Upcoming Meeting

The North Central Florida Tea Party will hold its next meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 11, 2016. Loren Spivack will be our guest speaker. He is a popular author, political activist and highly sought after speaker on economics and small government. He will explain what has gone horribly wrong with the American economy and teach us ways to be a “free market warrior” in order to protect and defend the principles upon which the USA was founded. Loren is known for making economics witty, fascinating and easy to understand. He is famous for his sense of humor, his humorous critiques and parodies.
Please come out and meet some like-minded people whose concerns are to make this country a better place to live. Working together we can make a difference! We will have copies of the latest editions of the American Patriot News, and information on the issues facing us. We will do a Presidential Primary Preference poll as part of a united effort around the state of Florida.
We meet at the Taylor Building, 128 SW Birley Road in Lake City. This is approximately 3 miles west of the I-75 interchange on the corner of U.S. 90 and Birley Road. For more information go to www.northcentralfloridateaparty.org or call 386-688-9402.

Oregon Standoff Turns Deadly

Robert “LaVoy” Finicum killed in joint FBI and Oregon State Police Ambush

LaVoy Finicum, age 55 of Canes Bed, Arizona, was killed at a roadblock at approximately 4:25 p.m. on Wednesday, January 26, 2016, that was set up by a joint operation of the FBI, Inc. and Oregon State Police, Inc. LaVoy was the spokesman for the group occupying the Malheur Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Oregon. LaVoy was the father to 11 children and 17 grandchildren. He and his wife Jeanette were foster care parents for about 50 troubled boys. LaVoy was driving one of two vehicles traveling to a meeting with local residents in John Day, Oregon, which had been arranged by law enforcement officials. Later reports indicate approximately 300 persons were or planned to be in attendance.

The occupiers of the refuge believe the federal government is illegally claiming ownership of vast areas of Harney County as well as vast areas of the Western States.

The protest started because the federal government re-sentenced the Hammonds who had served their time in prison and paid fines for two fires that got out of control. One of the fires, set in 2001, was a prescribed burn on Hammond’s private property; a routine range improvement practice. The other fire, set on Hammond’s private property in 2006, was a back-burn intended to protect the ranch’s winter pasture from a lightening fire on adjacent so called federal land. Combined, the two fires burned about 140 acres.

Fund Raising Gun Raffle Starting Soon

Our main fund raising effort each year is to hold a gun raffle. We will begin the raffle soon and the drawing will be held at the July 4th River Reunion in Branford.

One of our biggest supporters has always been Cuzin's Cafe in Branford. Over the years they have sold many, many tickets for us in their restaurant. We are sad to report that Cuzin's closed its doors last Sunday! We will miss them; their food and their support!

Please think of places that we can put raffle tickets to sell. Help make this raffle the most successful yet! We use the money each year to help fund our expenses for the year.

Our biggest expense is the printing of the American Patriot News every two weeks. We are distributing 1,600 copies in Lake City, Live Oak, Branford, and Ft. White. Many, many thanks to everyone who helps with this endeavor. It is making a difference in getting the news out! Read the latest edition HERE

Last year we put 3,000 U.S. Constitutions in the Columbia and Suwannee County Middle School Civics and History classes.

We support Liberty First Network each month. They are the liberty lobbyists in Tallahassee for us and do a wonderful job in helping us get the information out on the bills that are being voted on. Go to Liberty First for current action alerts.

We pay our rent at the Taylor Building which we greatly appreciate being able to use for our meetings and we always have other expenses that are associated with running any organization!

Please make an effort to sell tickets this year!

WE APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO GIVES THEIR TIME, MONEY, ETC. TO HELP MAKE THIS ORGANIZATION WORK!

In short

Who are we and what do we do?

The North Central Florida Tea Party is a group of citizens who are concerned about where our nation is heading. We are a grassroots, non-partisan group opposed to wasteful deficit spending and infringement of our natural rights. We do have a well-defined and uniform slate of principles on which we center our advocacy and support for political candidates. These principles include, first and foremost, advocating for Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free-enterprise, national defense, and traditional American values. Our goals are to educate ourselves on the issues facing us today, act on what we learn, and motivate other like-minded people to become involved. Find a way to become part of the solution instead of just complaining about the problems! For more information go to: www.ncftparty.org; check the website out for information about our group, information on the issues, and contact information. Visit the blog - read the articles and leave your comments. We need your input to make our website a better place to visit! Click on "Become A Friend" to receive Facebook updates. If you find something in this newsletter that you think should be shared, please pass it on to your friends and relatives. Invite someone to come to the meeting with you! Working together we can bring this country back to its Constitutional roots.

The Tea Party is simply a loose description of local activism driven by Americans who want smaller government and more self-reliance. That sounds like what the Founding Fathers had in mind, does it not?

The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing.
John Adams

Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.
John Adams

Every step we take towards making the State our Caretaker of our lives, by that much we move toward making the State our Master.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature…. If the next centennial does not find us a great nation … it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.
James Garfield,
