Here is some local and national news that might shape our local Tea Party movement.
Old News: In Case you Missed it…
First no news….the McDonnell Administration has been completely mute about our governor’s role in Obama’s Council of Governors. Not a return call or email to be found from anyone that I know, other than to confirm he is participating. More on this issue here.
In case you missed it, a review of legislative successes in Richmond and our March Meeting is set for March 8.
New News
Looks like Pelosi/Reid/Obama Health Care Reform measures will be back up for a vote again soon. More information here. Get ready for action.
To McDonnel’s credit, he’s taking the difficult steps needed to reign in our budget. Tough decisions are absolutely going to have to be made.
However, this is a bad idea. This is touted as an “alternative to property tax increases.” If you believe that other taxes will be reduced if this goes through, you are a much more trusting soul then I.
And this is another bad idea. How about the governor get out of the way and not waste money on Obama inspired “jobs” legislation. Want to create jobs? Lower regulations and taxes and get the government out of the way.
Make sure you have these facts when your liberal friends try to link the idiot that flew his plane into the IRS building to the Tea Party movement.
Some information on the interesting race in the 5th Disctrict for their Congressional seat. Right now you have Tom Periello, who has voted in lock step with the Obama/Reid/Pelosi agenda and a dopey RINO named Robert Hurt. Virgil Goode….please come back!
Our role is to be a watchdog group for the principles that make the USA great. This article is exhibit one in why the GOP needs that oversight too. Hatch (and many other GOP members) just don’t get it.
As a follow up to John’s excellent post on Keith Olberman, here is more on MSNBC.
Lastly, if you don’t know Lisa Miller, she is the head of the DC Tea Party and an excellent advocate for our cause. She attended the Michael Steele Tea Party meeting and gave this excellent interview. She’s on Facebook and her posts are fantastic.
