TEA PARTIES: PRELUDE
TO CHANGE- A COURSE
CORRECTION FOR AMERICA


CONGRATULATIONS TO AL RONEY
WGY, WADE ABBOTT , ORGANIZERS
and CITIZEN ATTENDEES OF THE
ALBANY TEA PARTY

A great success! Many thousands more
listened in via radio.

Today's Times Union Editorial derided
the event as "pulling the Republican
Party out of its slump, under the guise
of patriotism and hyperbolic talk of
socialism and tyranny."

The editorial went on to say: " This
manufactured movement has been
provided a sense of legitimacy
and momentum by Fox News and
other media organs of the right
hyped by infotainers like Glenn Beck
and Laura Ingraham.."

The editorial concludes: "A protest
like this, coming barely three months
into the administration of a new president
who won decisively last year and is
doing exactly what he promised to do
should be seen for what it is - a last
gasp of Campaign 2008 or, like, it or not
one of many preludes to Election 2012."

The Times Union could not be more wrong.

1. The Albany Tea Party was not a partisan
event to shore up the Republican Party.

It was a gathering of American citizens
exercising their First Amendment Rights
of freely gathering and speaking their
concerns about the tyranny of excessive
government spending and taxation, and
the tyranny of disregard for the Constitution
and Bill of Rights by elected representatives
at all levels of government in America.


2. It is amusing to read the TU editorial
decry Fox News, Glenn Beck and Laura
Ingraham as media organs of the right.

The TU, and most of the other media
except for talk radio, were, and remain
shills for the Far Left.

If it were not for Fox News and talk radio
American citizens would be completely
brainwashed by the mainstream media.

The new administration intends to enact
the "Fairness Doctrine" as a means of
stifling the First Amendment Rights of
radio stations, talk radio hosts and
ordinary citizens.

3. It is equally amusing to read the TU
decrying "a protest like this..as the last
gasp of Campaign 2008..."

Obviously, the TU has failed to notice
that President Obama is still on the
campaign trail. He is everywhere in
the mainstream media, nearly every
day. Recently, he campaigned in
Europe, Turkey and Iraq. Next, it
will be in Latin America at the coming
Western Hemisphere Summit.

Not to worry, President Obama will
keep his campaign pledge to visit all
57 of these United States.

4. The Times Union is wrong to state
that Obama "won decisively last year.."

Voter turnout was about 60 percent
Obama won with the votes of about
a third of the eligible voters. This means
that 70 percent of the American voters
DID NOT vote for Obama.

Furthermore, President Obama is NOT
doing exactly as he promised with
regard to Iraq. The troops are not
coming home. They are being redeployed
to Afghanistan and probably soon to
Africa.

Where have all those "bring home the
troops-NOW" lawn signs gone?

President Obama has come to realize
that, for better or worse, the U S must
maintain ground, air and naval forces
in the volatile Middle East, and elsewhere
in the world, for a long time to come.

Given that reality, one wonders how
President Obama can keep America
safe, by cutting the defense budget
failing to secure our borders and
failing to require proof of U S citizenship
for jobs, medical care, social services and
educational benefits.

American citizens are concerned that the change
Mr Obama promised, and the changes he has
made in less than 3 months in office, are
taking America down the wrong road to
socioeconomic and political disaster.

That is why the Tea Parties are being held
nationwide.

American citizens are rightly concerned for
their futures , as well as the futures of their
loved ones, and the future of America.

These Tea Party supporters want government
spending and taxation brought under control.
They want the Constitition, particularly the
First, Second and Tenth Amendments ; and
The Bill of Rights upheld by government at
all levels.

Finally, the Times Union is almost correct
in stating that this, and other Tea Parties
are "preludes to Election 2012".

More accurately, these Tea Parties are
preludes to American Citizens taking back
their governments at all levels, beginning
with the local elections this year; and
moving on to the state and congressional
elections of 2010.

Smart voters realize that regaining local
control, this year, is a prerequisite to
regaining control of New York State
government and Congress in 2010.

The reality is that we have one party
control at the local, state and federal
levels. Worse yet, that is Leftist
One Party Control.

The Republican and minor political
parties are toast in New York.

The best way for citizens to regain
control of local government this year
is for independent Democrats to run for
office
or, at the very least, become informed
and vote in the September Democratic
Primaries.

As for 2010, state and congressional
races, the best tactic is for all voters
in New York , particularly Upstate and
on Long Island to enrol as Democrats
now, and participate in the 2010
Democratic Primaries for State Assembly
and Senate, Congress and the U. S Senate.

Enrolment changes made now, become
effective, in New York, the day after the
November 2009 General Election.

The Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller
and all Members of the state Assembly/Senate
plus, Members of Congress and both Senators
from New York are up for nomination (election)
in the 2010 Democratic Primaries.

If there were ever opportunities for CHANGE
2009 and 2010 offer American Citizens the
opportunities to put local, state and federal
governments on the RIGHT COURSE.

IT IS NOW OR NEVER!

HARD RIGHT RUDDER! FULL STEAM AHEAD!
