TEA PARTY TRANSFORMATION
OF AMERICA



The Tea Party Movement is a tsunami

that is a force unto itself - it is a giant

wave of citizen sentiment.



The power of this giant wave will

transform federal and state elections

in 2010 and 2012.

***************


"Whether or not tea partiers will be able

to turn anger into organization may vary

from state to state." ....


"People in the Tea Party movement are


fiercely independent. They don't like being

told what to do. It's like herding cats," said

Chad Capps, strategy coordinator for a

Huntsville, Ala., group.


While tea party activists have made themselves

heard, University of North Florida political

science professor Matthew Corrigan said the

movement alone won't be enough to oust

incumbents.


"Do they have energy? Yes. Have they been

getting into the media? Yes, but they still

haven't sold me on the fact that they can

swing elections," Corrigan said.

The Capitol District Brown Brigade and Tea

Party allies did make a difference in the

election of Scott Brown as U S Senator

from Massachusetts, this past January.



More than swinging elections, the Tea Party

has to win elections by recruiting and

running citizen patriots for public office.



Where is our candidate for Congress 21st

District? For NYS Senate 46th SD? These

are two local elections that matter most in

shaping national and state politics.



Both races play a role in restoring checks

and balances in Washington and Albany.



The same goes for the need to unseat the

2 incumbent U S Senators from New York

and the need to elect a Governor of New

York.



Tea Party candidates are experiencing the

difficulty of trying to prevail in New York

where party bosses and party organizations

have a distinct advantage in selecting

candidates, and nominating those

candidates in party primaries.



The 20th Congressional District is a case

example. Patrick Ziegler is a young, fiscal

Conservative vying for the Republican

endorsement. However, more than fiscal

conservatism is at stake here.



National security is the priority issue.

If we are not safe, none of the other issues

will matter.



Retired Army Colonel Chris Gibson knows

this and has the military experience that

is required in Congress in these dangerous

times.



Patrick Ziegler should join forces with

Chris Gibson, help him get elected and

serve on Gibson's staff in Washington

rather than wasting money, time and

energy on a primary.

Get right to the task of defeating Murphy!



Consider massive, simultaneous terror

strikes on the Home Land by Al Qaida and

their domestic allies.



Who will lead us if the leaders of our

national and state governments are

casualties in such a scenario?



Martial law would surely follow. This

would not be a time for on the job

training of Members of Congress and

state legislature, who have no military

experience. Murphy does not.



We have a Commander in Chief who is not

up to the solemn responsibility of his role.

He is obsessed with Obamacare, not to

benefit the people, but as a means to control

the people.



His next move will be amnesty to the tens

of millions of illegals, who would bring

tens of millions more of their relatives to

the U S, to get Health Care and to vote

Democrat in gratitude. President for life

is the aim here.



He will push through Cap and Trade

which will further destroy our economy

raising the costs of electricity, natural gas

and oil beyond the ability of consumers

to pay for these essentials of modern life.



We have a President, and Leaders of

Congress, bent on radically transforming

America. By so doing, they are destroying

America.



We can not, and must not let this occur.



As a form of political leverage and insurance

in New York, when dealing with the

established politicalk parties, the Tea Party

Movement must have it's own ballot line -

The Liberty Party.



Run a statewide candidate, this year

who can garner more than the 50,000

votes necessary to establish the Liberty Party

as a bonafide political party ( ballot line)

for the next four years in New York.



At the same time Tea Party endorsed

candidates should run on this ballot line

in their respective congressional and


state legislative districts.





The Liberty Party ballot line can play

a major role in the 2010 and 2012

federal and state elections and the

local elections in 2011 and 2013.



So, let us get to work gang! We need

candidates who support our view of

America. We need them on the ballot.



They must be able to clearly articulate

our message to the voters.



Our job is to help those candidates

get on the ballot, to run their campaigns

and to serve on their staffs when elected.



We have to inform the voters and get

them to the polls on November 2.



Party primaries are a distraction that

divert us from our objectives.



Incidentally, if Sarah Palin is going

to be at a Tea Party rally in Boston

April 14 - wouldn't it be fitting if

U S Senator Scott Brown and Sarah

were featured at our April 17 Albany

Tea Party . Go for it!
