Old slogan: no taxation without representation.

New slogan: no printing a trillion without consultation.

Einstein once said, ‘The definition of insanity is doing the
same thing over and over again and expecting different results..’

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats—yet they are
still ………………..

POOR

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot
strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about
prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up
by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of
man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by
taking away people’s initiative and independence. You cannot help
people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for
themselves.”

See you there! Why don’t we just become our own State? I think you only need 250,000 people to do so. And isn’t it sad that we have the 2nd highest cost of energy in the country and yet we live 10 miles from Niagara Falls. And are sales tax rate is absurd, not to mention that people down state pay less in property tax (almost half) for similar homes. And I could go on and on and on. And here’s a question I’ve been pondering for a while…”The government requires public companies to file quarterly and annual reports (to see where the money goes) does the state and local gov’t do that? or do we just get the “BUDGET” to see how they want to spend every last penny? Thanks for letting me rant, haha.

The age of Obama – the era of cleaver phraseology – it fools some of the people and makes certain people drool and it tics the rest of us off. The intellectuals did not like George Bush – I hope they are happy now. This stuff is already starting to make me sick.

Okay, the weather looks good anyway! A bit chilly but hey we are used to that. Got a gang coming from around the country it seems..some from PA some from CT. Twitter this my friends!! I posted it on the 912 Project (Glenn Becks website) and have also been promoting it on my radio show on BTR (with my cohost Sir Malachi) – it’s time to make this huge. We want to stand tall, one voice in this New American Revolution!

Rus, great going, I will attend and will bring my 13 year old as well. What a great lesson in civics. May I suggest that you also mobilize the following of Patriots to consider attending the nationally sponsored Tea Party Day on April the 15th in front of Buffalo City Hall. it really is time for the people to take back control of government, and this is just the beginning!!!
