This is chilling.

This is a speech from the mid-sixties. The only question is, are we there yet?...

Laziness and apathy have brought us here. The only way to turn this around is a grassroots effort. On July 12th I posted a thread on the Baton Rouge tea party and how they are fighting this very thing. They are also lobbying for our 2nd Amendment rights. Sadly, it only got two replies and no one expressed interest/support in it. If you are not keeping up with coming state/federal legislation and writing, faxing, calling your representatives telling them to vote for/against it you are part of the problem.

would participate in the tea party movement (i have gone to the rallies, i'm referring to meeting) but i meet with a more established political group on the fourth thursday of each month which usually conflicts with your meetings. if i had to guess i would say that a larger percentage of the people on this site oare involved in some way or another, whether its calling there reps or going to tea parties, than the general population.

+1000 on the calling & writing to reps...I read the other day that less than 2% of American citizens do this on a regular basis. That is terrible.

The time is near when we may be called on to salvage or defend our country or what is left of it.
The tipping point will be the forcible disarming of ONE American. If we let the first one fall, we are all gone.
If we don't hang together, we will surely hang separately.
May GOD bless and save America!

Funny, on the 12th, when I got on the BR teaparty's email, I had just written an email to Sen's Vitter and Landrieu stating "if you vote for Sotomayor, I will not be voting for you...

Got a response from Vitter today:

Dear Mr. Price,



Thank you for contacting me in opposition to the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.



As you know, President Obama has nominated Judge Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court, which requires confirmation by the Senate. Now I will study her record and philosophy carefully.



Like you, I have concerns with statements she has made that indicate she may engage in judicial activism and legislate from the bench rather than simply interpreting and applying the law and the Constitution, which is the proper role of a Supreme Court justice. Rest assured I will keep your thoughts in mind as I carefully review Judge Sotomayor's record and views during the confirmation process.



Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about any other issue important to you.



Sincerely,


Senator David Vitter
United States Senator

Yes, we do care and I do believe we are more involved than "the herd".

Marc- I did the same. It's always funny how Madame Sen. Landrieu never sees fit to respond to any e-mail I send to her....Although Vitter's office sends what I guess you'd call a "form letter", at least someone there is decent enough to acknowledge I exist....

 

[dantheman]

I have sent numerous e-mails to Mary Landrieu . NEVER a reply .

[jimdana1942]

This country is gone. I am just wondering when the storm troopers will be swarming all over Americans, in the dead of night, with all forms of communications having been disabled so as to prevent communications among us trying to warn each other as to what is happening.

It's coming, could be sooner than we expect, and it will come when least expected, as a thief in the night.

Call, Call, Call, Call. The letters, and especially emails, just get trashed. If you call they take it more seriously. Keep track of what is going on and call your public officials.
