RSSJessica Hughes invites you to attend the Nacogdoches Texas tea party

This is what I believe needs to be the spirit of the Tea Party Protests. I will be speaking on this topic at the event.
Our Constitution was set up with two major safeguards: It would limit government power and protect all citizens by subjecting them not to the whims of men, but to the equal rule of law. Abandoning that policy that has left us not united against government abuse, but competing with each other for whose out of control party is better. Republicans, the party of fiscal responsibility, defend Bush who grew government spending by 40%. Now Democrats defend tripling our debt and more bailouts out by saying Bush started it. We have traded our liberty under the rule of law for the cookies this party or that promises us. We the People have divided down party lines so that the entrenched politicians know they can count on a certain number of us to vote for either the elephant or the donkey no matter what they did last time around. We say, “Well he did allocate more money for teachers or farm subsidies or tax credits,” and too many of us never think, “Hey! He is buying my vote with my money!” It wasn’t until they started buying banks with our money that we saw an uprising and thank God for it.Jefferson said, “In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” He was o right. Once you loose the chains to get something you want you set those in power free to give anyone what they want, even failing companies that donated to their campaigns. Now we are angry, but there is a choice we must make, between the rule of law and the whims of man. Make no mistake: Washington created this monster. They did what the banks never had the power to do, take your money by force and reward failure. Now they point their fingers at AIG employees and say, “They did it!” They offer to further abandon the Constitution and write laws that will punish individuals, many of whom had nothing to do with this crisis. In Hungary, when the Communists came in and killed all the rich landowners and gave the land to the peasantry, the poor rejoiced. Well Washington asks you to bury your heads in the sand and rejoice as they destroy the rich, and pay no attention to the politicians behind the curtain; the ones who lined their pockets with campaign money and sold you out to the very citizens they now offer to annihilate on behalf of “The People.” Most of all pay no attention to the Constitution, which they discard like a Kleenex to carry on with this show. Now I want people who did wrong to suffer the consequences. But even more I want the rule of law over the rule of a mob being manufactured by the very Washington culprits who caused this mess. The Hungarians didn’t rejoice long. The Communists came back and demanded two thirds of all the food produced from the peasants’ land. Washington doesn’t want you thinking about the fact that rewarding this special interest or punishing that executive means abandoning the rule of law; loosing the chains that bind down the power of the government; setting free a monster that will not stop with unlawful assaults on the rich and the greedy, it is equally ravenous to devour our liberties as we have already seen. Shame on them, for abusing their power to destroy our economy, then using this state of crisis to grab even more power. We don’t need to abandon the rule of law in favor of retribution; we need to return to the law of our Constitution. Under the document our founders crafted this could never have happened and we do not need pitchforks and torches to solve these problems now we only need a dedication to replacing the whims of man with that greatest legal creation in the history of the world. Whatever it costs us in the short term whether government subsidies or a government job we must now see that the costs of abandoning our Constitution in favor of the promises of politicians are the highest costs of all.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39
I am helping to organize it. You can get all of the information at www.etxtaxparty.com. The event will begin at 5:30 pm in the Downtown Nac Square (203 E. Pilar) but people are going to start gathering at 5pm. We will have various speakers on topics such as the current economic plans, their effects on small business, individuals and employment, the Constitutionality of the tax system we have, and I will end with a word on the rule of law and how living by it (our Constitution) rather than the fads of our elected officials, protects our liberties.
Please come, and bring anyone you know who loves liberty. While individuals at these events certainly have opinions on the current administration, the focus of our speakers will be non-partisan. Things may have accelerated starting with the TARP bailout, but the groundwork for this breach of our liberty was laid over 80 years ago and it is exploited by both parties on a regular basis.
Thanks for your interest!

I don’t believe you can justify the congress giving our money to AIG, there is no precedent for it, and I don’t believe it is constitutional. So I don’t care how, but they need to get my money back. They can tax it, send in the National Gaurd, or just give me and a few friends some 9 mm and a list of names, but I want my money back and I would hope anyone else with a triple digit IQ would realize that the bailout money was stolen from the tax payers and under normal circumstances a recipient of stolen goods doesn’t get to keep them.
I hope this isn’t to offensive, but I’ve been really mad about this whole thing since Bush gave the first ????Billions to the auto industries.
Thanks for a place to vent:)
