Wow! What an Assembly (Photos at FLICKR)

May 22, 2010.

The Main Event – Our 2010 Assembly HERE.

The last two days were the most fun I’ve had in a long time. And, we sure had some great results. How ’bout Ken Buck, JJ, and Dan Maes? The roof came off the Budweiser Event Center today. I’ll bet the papers will be very interesting tomorrow and given that I saw Lynn Bartels there, I expect some fair coverage. Don Beezley will be on the primary ballot for HD33; Stephen Bailey and Bob Brancato for CD2. One thing is for sure, it ain’t the same old Republican party and the new folks that have joined us have shown that hard work pays off. I knew all of you newbies would be great for our party — THANKS so much for your leadership!

Results – (over 3500 ballots cast):

U.S. SENATE
Robert Greenheck: 2%
Cleve Tidwell: 15%
Steve Barton: 1%
Ken Buck: 77%
(Jane Norton and Tom Wiens are petitioning onto the ballot.)

Candidates need to get 30 percent of the delegate vote to get on the primary ballot outright. If they get between 10 and 30 percent, they can petition on to the ballot.

Thank you so much to all the Delegates and Alternates that stepped forward and did the work to make it all happen and to our County Officers and helpers. We only had 3 delegate no-shows today and were able to promote alternates to vote 42 of our 43 allocated ballots (one person had to leave for an emergency after the cutoff time).

Let’s get some rest and then launch the next phase to our big WIN in November. We are off to the races.

Successful Lincoln Dinner

A great time was had by all who attended our annual Lincoln Dinner on Saturday night April 24th. We heard from our Master of Ceremonies, Mike Holler, author if “The Constitution Made Easy”, Jon Caldara, who gave an emotional speech about this countries’ wonderful healthcare system, Stephen Green, Editor of PJTV, who told us to redouble our efforts to save the country and Tom Tancredo who talked about guns and our freedom. It was a great venue with a very nice and comfortable setting at the Omni Interlocken Resort Hotel. Thanks to all who turned out to support our party. Your donations to our party are important, especially this year, to ensure we win and stop the move away from Constitutional governance. And, a special thanks to Joan Griep who put together a great event.

UPDATE 5/6 – I received Ryan Springers photos this afternoon and they are now added to Rick’s photos – see Flickr HERE.

Stay Mad !! – Lest We Forget -

Update 6/29/2010 - “Lest We Forget” was the name of an Algebra textbook I remember from High School. Constant reminders of what we learned yesterday cement the learning (I hated that book). I’ve left this post here because we need to remember what this administration and the congress did to this country with the Healthcare debacle. Unfortunately, the public has a short memory, so it is up to us to remind our friends and neighbors what awaits us as this government takeover of our Healthcare unfolds.

03/22/2010 – Last night was a spectacle that will live in my memory for a long time and in the history books of my children and grandchildren. This Congress, in the form of 219 people has foisted on the American people an insult to our founders. Not only will this take our country even more in the red than we already are, we have told the American people, in a big way, that personal responsibility is no longer required — nanny will care for you. In addition, we can only imagine the back room deals that were made to pass this monstrosity. In the coming days and months I am sure we’ll find out who was paid with our money. What would Thomas Jefferson think of the process that we witnessed last night? The people were not listened to; the arrogance was and is astounding.

So, I am sure you are very mad, I am! What we have to do is continue to work our plan to get Republicans elected at all levels of government and in November make a sea change to arrest this juggernaut. My advice is we re-double our efforts and above all STAY MAD until November 2nd. Don’t let down — I won’t!

Inherited

This from an email I received today – EF.

I’m Sick of “Inherited”
The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush, blah blah blah. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense.
So once more, I’ll try a short civics lesson.
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. For FY 2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.

Let’s remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is, “I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.”
WAKE UP, AMERICA, BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!!
