On July 4th, without an ounce of support from the national media, without a parade from the talking heads, and with extreme passion in cities all across this country, patriots assembled in thousands of peaceful displays of not only protest, but in respect for the principles of independence this country was founded upon.

ReTeaParty.com has been coordinating with FreeandEqual.org, an organization that has been instrumental in obtaining ballot access, providing legal assistance, and promoting awareness of third party candidates across the political spectrum, with the common understanding that this movement is much larger than a protest against Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, and the like.  We recognize that the slow destruction of our Constitution and our inalienable rights to self-responsibility, property, and the fruits of our labor has occurred over many administrations and been propelled by members on both “sides” of the party line.

As for this website, we will remain optimistic and in support of everyone’s Tea Parties and look forward to significantly expanding our organizational tools, technology, and communications, as we believe there is a common goal amongst all our efforts to restore faith in the American people, and reinvigorate the (small “r”) republican and decentralized ideals set forth in the Constitution of the United States.

To aid fellow patriots, ReTeaParty.com has provided a network where local organizers can request their own website, designed specifically for Tea Party coordination.  Organizers can control their own blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Meetup widgets, links, contact information, e-mail updates, and much more.  Let’s show the political players that we are all in this together, and that freedom has our vigilance.

Every two years, the political parties plan massive registration drives to coddle support for their partisan message. This upcoming election, let’s only stand by candidates that represent individuals, not political parties, and Re-Declare our Independence.

Everyday, our government hands us new pieces of legislation that increases our taxes, infringes on our constitutional rights, and sends our tax dollars to those that don’t deserve them.  Together, on July 4th, we stand up to say ENOUGH!

As the Democrats plan to put an out of control government in charge of our health care, and the Republicans stand up to…well…not really sure what they stand for anymore, let’s re-declare our independence together, and voice our respect, not for the possessors of power, but the principles of individual freedom and Liberty.

On a side note, many of you have received messages from a “Kelly”, looking for love.  Althought we encourage everyone to love one another, this is not a dating service site and spamming the members has resulted in us banning her from the site.  To all those interested in a relationship with her, we apologize, but you will have to communicate with her away from this site.

Good luck to everyone, and stay tuned as we are planning a redevelopment of the website to better organize, promote, and publicize all your hard work and activities.  The development will be launched in stages and we hope to unveil the begining in a few short months.  Thank you and continue the good, hard work.

1.  Increase state sovereignty

2.  Throw out big government & big spending incumbents

3.  Reform the tax code

4.  Institute constitutional term limits for those in Congress

5.  Decrease federal spending

6.  Make Congress read the bills before voting

7.  End all federal bailouts

In summary, We the People seek greater states’ rights, a more limited and fiscally restrained Federal Government, meaningful tax reform, and a more accountable Congress.

Is this a sign that the tide is turning? Are politicians waking up to the fact that voters are just plain fed up with political games? Have the special interest finally gone too far? This July 4th, let’s join Assemblyman Arambula, other Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Greens, and everyone else that is sending a message to the political elite, and Re-Declare Our Independence.

Make sure to show up to July’s Tea Party protest in style and equipped to spread the message: here’s a contest to win free Tea Party Merchandise.

If you don’t want to bother about the contest, you can also just purchase Tea Party merch. There’s a wide variety of great designs to choose from.

In Liberty!

This list is by no means exhaustive, and there is some degree of overlap between the various categories, but it serves as a good starting point.  What are your Tea Party’s top five objectives?

• Without a stimulus package, Obama’s team predicted unemployment would hit 9% early next year.  However, it’s already at 9.4% and climbing.
• With a stimulus package, Obama’s team predicted unemployment would max out at 8% later this year.  Again, it’s already at 9.4%.

Clearly these economic predictions have already been significantly falsified.

Back in early January, Obama stated that unless bold, government actions were taken, unemployment could hit double digits.  Just yesterday, when asked by a reporter, “Will unemployment hit 10%?”, Obama said, “Yes.”  The reporter then asked, “Before the end of this year?”  Obama replied, “Yes.”  So much for the bold, government actions.

Now, before everyone jumps on these failed predictions and obvious contradictions, let’s not forget that Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, and the Bush administration committed many of the same errors.  Bernanke, throughout 2005-2008, repeatedly stated that America’s economy was strong, sound, and robust.  Even in 2008, Bernanke stated that, at most, we might experience a minor slow down.  As for the Bush administration, it wouldn’t even admit that the country was in a recession in 2008, until absolute proof came in September.  Supposedly, the fundamentals were as sound as ever.

There’s an obvious pattern here.  The Federal Government, including the Federal Reserve, has made a number of inaccurate predictions these last several years.  Their projections have been a poor reflection of reality.  The current administration is continuing a trend long in the making.

It would behoove We the People to view government numbers with a high degree of skepticism.  We need to dig a bit deeper, do some research, and think for ourselves.

Bailing out a fiscally reckless state such as California would increase the already gargantuan federal budget deficit, add even more debt, place further pressure on the US Dollar, and potentially open the floodgates for the host of other states that have grossly mishandled their check books.

The time is long overdue for California to get its budget under control. Years and years of overspending have lead to disastrous consequences.  Better to take the tough medicine now, suffer some short-term pain, and lay the foundation for legitimate recovery in the years to come.

Now, if we could just get the Federal Government to take its own advice.  For the last 8 1/2 years, its motto has been “Do what I say, not what I do.”

What are your thoughts on California and its budget crisis?

Mammoth debt, huge deficits, and excessive money printing are raising eyebrows around the world.  Facing over $11 trillion of debt, $99 trillion of unfunded liabilities, nearly $2 trillion budget deficits, and a Dollar that has lost about 33% of its value since 2002, the United States is in deep trouble.

The previous, Republican administration and a largely Republican Congress, couldn’t even balance the budget.  They piled on more debt and stood idly by as the Federal Reserve devalued the Dollar.  Now, a Democratic administration and a Democratic Congress are creating even bigger deficits, piling on even more debt, and devaluing the Dollar further.

At some point, We the People need to step up to the plate if we’re to save our nation from an economic apocalypse.  Ultimately, we’re the ones voting in these politicians.

We need to start doing our homework as voters.  We need to look at voting records, instead of listening to empty rhetoric.  We need to start seriously considering Washington outsiders, instead of giving a free pass to the same old D.C. insiders.  We need to start throwing out our own party favorites, instead of justifying their chronically unbalanced budgets.  We need to start thinking for ourselves, instead of allowing our favorite networks and talk show hosts to do our thinking for us.

Those are some of my solutions.  What are some of yours?
