A Patriots Manifesto

I attended one of 2 tea parties held today in Salt Lake. There were at least 500 people there protesting the Bush-Obama push toward socialism. There were about 2 dozen passionate speakers of all ages and backgrounds at the event. I stand here today to proclaim that I reject the reckless spending of Washington! I reject the inflation of our currency! I reject confiscatory taxes! I reject the federal government taking control of private enterprise and financial institutions! I reject the redistribution of wealth! I reject the fairness doctrine! I reject cap and trade legislation and "global warming" hysteria! I reject Obama's claim that we are merely a nation of citizens and not a Christian or Jewish nation. I reject socialism and central planning! Now is the time to stand up and be counted. Stand up for liberty and economic freedom over socialism and tyranny. Stand up for a strong national defense. Stand up for strong borders. Stand up for strong American and family values! Now is the time to stand up for these things. If we wait too long, there will come a day when we speak fondly of the days before socialism and government control. Call your congressman, read the Federalist papers, read Thomas Paine, and share the principals of economic liberty with your friends. It's time to put government back on the side of the people.
