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!
