Sheriffs + Fun at December 10th Meeting

The North Central Florida Tea Party will hold its next meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 10, 2015.  We have invited Sheriff Tony Cameron along with Sheriff Mark Hunter from Columbia and Sheriff Brian Lamb from Lafayette Counties to come discuss upcoming legislation and other concerns with us.  The Florida Legislature goes into session on January 12, 2016 and will be voting on bills such as Open Carry and Campus Carry.  In light of the events happening all around our country and the world, these issues will become more important to our ability to keep ourselves and our families safe and secure.  It is crucial that we have elected sheriffs who recognize this, and do everything in their power to ensure that our rights are protected.
We also plan on making this a “fun” meeting.  We will have coffee, TEA, and desserts. (If you can bring a dessert to share, that would be great!)   Please come out and meet some like-minded people whose concerns are to make this country a better place to live in.  For more information go to www.northcentralfloridateaparty.org  or call 386-688-9402.
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.

What are the Values of the Tea Party? What Do We Want to Accomplish?

This letter was originally printed in the Ocala Star Banner and then reprinted in the last edition of American Patriot News.

There is a major conflict in published reports regarding the Tea Party and what it stands for. Any educated individual knows that a poll can be skewed by not only the questions, but how the questions are asked, and precisely who is the audience. It’s true the Tea Party supports Conservatives and strongly opposes liberal candidates like Hillary Clinton and Sanders, admitted progressives with an ultra liberal, socialist agenda. Liberals do not support or like the Tea Party. They have a different view of the future of America. The column by James Harris in last Sunday’s Paper was full of misguided information that I will address in this column.  To do that let’s address precisely what are the core values of the Tea Party which, I pray, do coincide with the vast majority of Americans. If not, this is not the America I grew up to love.  First, in order, we love our GOD, Country and Family; We support the limited powers of Government as outlined in our Constitution; We believe in Freedom and Liberty for all our Citizens; We support Personal Accountability and Responsibility; We strongly support our Law Enforcement Officers and our Military; We believe in Free Enterprise and Fiscal Responsibility in all areas of Government; We believe that Social Security is our money, not one penny came from Government, and should not be touched. We question how our own money can be classified as “an entitlement”; We believe in decent Health Care for all Americans, but feel Obama Care is a disaster waiting to explode, a disaster that was passed without anyone knowing what was in it; Like our forefathers, we are strong supporters of the 2nd Amendment. It is a fact that Chicago, who has one of the toughest gun laws in the Country, has the worst crime rate, including the highest murder rate anywhere. Strict gun laws take guns away from good people, not the criminals. It’s worth mentioning that this paper’s question regarding carrying guns on campuses was nearly 2 to 1 in favor. Most of us realize these killers are cowards, they seek out those who have no way of fighting back. Those with a Concealed Weapon Permit prevent crime , and don’t commit crime; Additionally, We believe in working to balance our National Budget, we can’t further endanger our children’s financial future; we believe in securing our borders against illegals, and not providing illegals with benefits that should be reserved for our citizens; we believe that marriage is ordained by GOD and is reserved for one man, one woman. This has been the definition throughout history and 5 unelected judges shouldn’t have the right to change it; We value human life, opposing abortions and tax payer funding of organizations like Planned Parenthood.  The above are factual beliefs, hopefully agreed upon by most Americans. To verify the facts are true as listed above, please attend our local meeting, Monday nights, 7PM @ The Marion Oaks Community Center.

GOD Bless America,
