TEA Party at Rockport 35 RV Park

July 4th was the day for hundreds (thousands?) of TEA (Taxed Enough Already) parties across our nation. There was one right here at our park!

This was the program for the gathering:

• Welcome
• Pledge of Allegiance
• America the Beautiful
• Remarks
• Prayer for the Nation
• Parade of Signs
  
  
  
  Allison, chief TEA server, gave prepared remarks, excerpts are below:
  

• We are witnessing God removing His favor from our nation as we move Him out of public life.
  
  
• I am not a politician, not a Republican, not a Democrat—I am an American! And I care what is happening to this country.
  
  
• Known as Cap and Trade, The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 has been deceitfully passed off to citizens as promoting environmental responsibility. It has, in fact, been called, "The biggest tax in American history."
  
  
• Mark Twain said, "If you don't keep up with the news you are uninformed—if you do, you're misinformed." Sadly, that is often true . .
  
  
• . . . call and write your representatives and tell them not to pass harmful legislation . . .
  
  
• Enocurage one another and collectively contact your representatives
  
  
• . . . pray for your leaders. God commands us to do so.

Allison also said there is on-going action:

Participants will meet at the library the 2nd Monday of each month for a 912 Meetup. A place to learn about issues and candidates and begin to work together to take back this nation.
