Good job STOMP

Our government has become full of treasonous b@stards who daily sell the American people out to foriegn governments and interests. The only thought they have for Americans is to levee more taxes fees and surcharges.

Politicians are lying cheating stealing traitorous dirtbag scum. I like the bumper sticker that says "98% of politicians give the rest a bad name" except that the percentage is too low.

It's time to take out the trash America.
Vote against all incumbent, at every level.

Hi Brian,

I do want to clarify one small thing. Though we consider ourselves a part of and support the National TEA party movement we are not governed by it, for our issues are more than 'taxation'.

Thanks again for the post - job well done.

Diane

Diane,

Does that include social issues? Who is your favorite local politician?

Brian,

That depends on how you define social. For some social issues would be opening a teen center, or having having activites for children, or possibly volunteering at a senior center. Though I am for these things these are not the issues that brough about this movement. Now for others they group gay rights, abortion, right to die, fetal stem cell research, etc in with social issues. That is were many of us part ways and feel these are moral issues, not social and not civil. So to answer your question the later issue, the one's many of us see as moral would be part of the issues withn the movement, including myself. And there iis the issue of BIG government getting bigger and 'WE' are paying their salaries.

My favorite local politician... WOW! Sad to say I don't have one. The closest I could come to picking any politician at this point is Rick Perry of Texas :)

Senior centers, activities for children, teen centers all getting cut back and closed down by a lack of funding. Hope you're good at fundraising, Diane.

Maybe while you're all out jumping up and down on the curb again you can pass the hat. Save the picnic leftovers for the kids who will be hurt when CalWORKS gets shut down.

You wrap yourselves in the flag and patriotism and you don't give a damn about anybody but yourselves.

Diane,

Your concerns sound just like the issues of conservative Republicans.

Do you support marriage equality or do you want big government telling churches and individuals what to do?

'Hypocritical',

That's right all those areas and more are being cut back because of 'reckless government spending and mismanagement of funds that still continues today. Let's not forget the cut backs coming our way in education - BTW, where did all that Lotto money over the years go that was suppose to enhance and 'upgrade' our classrooms? I wonder whos' pocket that went into. Have you asked anyone? Do you care where the money went? Well us sign waving, curb jumping Americans like Diane do and we want answers.

So what are you PERSONALLY doing about any of this it to try and help that situation? Let's here from you - What fundraiser are you involved in, so we readers out here can help? Sign any recall petitions lately? Write any letters to your local politicians asking for accountibility? Volunteer your time or resources? Are you willing to get off the couch from watching the latest reality show, roll up your sleeves and try to do something about it, or is the extent of your involvement simply to bash those who are? We are all ears...

"You wrap yourselves in the flag and patriotism and you don't give a damn about anybody but yourselves." It's always interesting that there are those like yourself who assume to know the minds and motives of others.

"Diane, Your concerns sound just like the issues of conservative Republicans. Do you support marriage equality or do you want big government telling churches and individuals what to do?"

So what's your point, not sure what you're asking. I am a conservative and not ashamed to say so and I'm thankful to have a standard based on biblical principals to guide my life. We all have something that guides and drives our positions and this is the one I choose. Not Republican but biblical, which happens to fall more closely in line with 'Republican' views.

As to marriage I personally hold the view that the patern for marriage was designed and ordained by God. He created them male and female and blessed them. He set up the pattern for the family. So to answer your question, no I do not want government big or small telling churches and individuals what to do? Nor do I think governement should involve itself by passing policies to support individual lifestyles choices.

I find it hypicritcal to claim to believe in something, be it faith or principals and not stand for it. I respect those who have the courage to do so even if I disagree.

Diane,

I am glad you don't think the government should ban gay marriage. I guess these tea parties are more libertarian in nature than I thought. Because if they were a mixture of social and economic conservatives rallying that just seems like the right wing of the Republican Party protesting that the other side won and their party is ignoring them.

There are many things I believe in that I wouldn't want to be a law because I support freedom.

^___^ ,

I think you misunderstood me, sorry if I wasn't clear. I don't feel the federal government should step in to re-define the 200 year old traditional definition of marriage, which I believe to be a moral issue and not a civil one. I do beleieve it is states rights, but those who opposite it have the right to to go through the process to make a change. I also do not believe that legal = moral.

Of course, we lost, but that doesn't mean we can't continue to rally for the issues we feel strongly about. That's what the democratic process is all about, isn't it?

And I support freedom to the extent that if I'm in disagreement about a policy or law that is against something I believe, I have the freedom to lobby for change.

Diane,

So if a church wants to marry gay people you want the state or federal government not to recognize those marriages? Sounds like big government to me.

Do you think gay people should be treated equally under the law in regards to health care access, taxes, and other civil rights?

I want the peaple to vote, and if people want to challenge it, I want that to.

I think anyone should have access to health care and they do. We have medical, we have county facilities for those who can't afford private.

But marriage, here is where we part. I don't beleive marraige is a civil right, I believe it is a union design by and ordained by God, as I stated before, and that is between one man and one woman.

If the people of the state vote for it, fine, it's legal under the law, but it's not moral under God's law.

Diane,

I think we have confused the terms here. I don't care if you do or do not approve of gay marriage. I just want to know if you would vote to ban gay marriage. Do you want the government to have the power to ban gay marriage because of your religious views? What about churches that don't agree with your religious views?

Again, I am not asking you for your religious views but instead your view on government power. You seem to want to empower the government to treat gay people differently under the law.

I was asking about health care in the context of gay rights. Do you think gay people should be eligible for the same health care plans as straight couples or should they be treated differently under the law?

I don't think the government should treat gay citizens differently under the law.

So far your group seems like a club in the Republican Party. I don't see any issues that you disagree with the Republican Party on. Can you name anything in the Republican Party platform you don't agree with? Better yet, can you name anything in the Democratic platform that you prefer over the platform of your party?

I guess I am bored with the tea bag parties pretending they are a group of moderates when they are clearly disaffected Republicans and other conservatives.

Diane,

Did you watch my videos from the Tea Party protest?

The ReTeaparty.com website has the following principle listed on it:

"Individual Freedom: We must protect the privacy and civil liberties of all persons under US jurisdiction. We must repeal or radically change the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the FISA legislation. We must reject the notion and practice of torture, eliminations of habeas corpus, secret tribunals, and secret prisons."

Do you agree with that statement.

GWolf:
Lottery money makes up only about 10 percent of any school district's budget.

Many people are doing private fundraising for the schools these days: PTAs, band booster clubs, athletic booster clubs, etc. There are several non-profit foundations in this county: The Simi Valley Education Foundation, The Conejo Schools Foundation, Ventura Eduction Partnership, Pleasant Valley Educational Foundation, etc.

They are each raising thousands of dollars every year for our kids.

Groups like yours only spread dissent and misinformation. Channel that energy toward something positive.

^___^

I have stated my views cleary. I don't pretend to be a moderate, as I said I am a conservative and my views are guided not by a party but by my faith. Since Christianty is not a party, the party closest to my set of values is Republican.

What about churches that don't agree with my religious views, they are free to diagree and free to pursue their concscience just as I.

When it comes to same sex marriage, the goverenment needs to stay out of it period, and let the people decide what they want in their state as they did in CA. Now AGAIN, if they want to appeal, it's there right and if there voice is heard and the people speak in favor of it, then once again PEOPLE have the right to appeal.

ALL Americans should be 'eligible' for the same health care plans when available. No one should be discriminated against because of their 'sexual preference'.

Brian, Yes I watched two videos and if you read our statement you would know that although we support the Tea Party movement on taxes, we are not governed by their guidleines and we may or may not be accord with all their principles.

All,

I'm not here to change anyones view and you won't change mine. I am a part of something that i believe is right. My political views are conservatiive and I've been open about that.

Brian, thank you for posting the event and those who are interested will be there and those who are not, do your own thing and follow your own conscience.

Peace

Diane,

I did read that you agree with some, but not all of the principles. That's why I asked if you supported the statement I posted.

What did you think of the interview I did where many people didn't think the president was born in America?

Thanks for answering my questions. Although we may disagree on many issues I respect you for answering questions. Too bad more politicians don't answer questions often enough.

Yes, it certainly is RIGHT, as in rightwing extremists. Don't hide behind that non-partisan BS. You've shown your colors and they aren't red, white and blue.

They're yellow.

Hi Brian,

I believe I answered that question for you already. But I'll answer it again. Until there is actual proof he is not I don't buy I. It's not a concern for me. Just last week I was on a blog that posted an article that once again suggested new proof has surfaced. I verified with Fackcheck that is was an April fools hoax. I notified the administrator and it was put to rest.

It is too bad politicans didn't answer more questions forthright, then we would know just who we were really voting into office.

BTW Brian did you look at the YOUTube video where Dems show their true colors, exposing thier lies in the housing crisis. Post that one for a fair and balnaced looksee. Let people decide.

'Hypocritcal' - And you're courage comes only from a key stroke on a blog and it's foul! YOU are why so many liberals leave such a bad taste in peoples mouth. You're like Jeanane Garofalo who have nothing but contempt for those with a different view than yours. Bet you've had a bar of soap shoved in your mouth more than once as a child.

At least the others on this post pose real question, you just spew hatred, what might that be, oh yeah ~ left-wing extremist?

"Yes, it certainly is RIGHT, as in rightwing extremists. Don't hide behind that non-partisan BS. You've shown your colors and they aren't red, white and blue."

Hypocritical, you're a spinless blogger. Why don't you answer the questions posed to you, got no answers? Diane at least has the courage and fortitude to speak out amoung the wolves.

So all the GOP sheep will be out teabagging with each other again. According to a report in the Star yesterday over 2 billion dollars in tax breaks were given to companies like Chevron in this last budget deal. Chevron made a profit of about 30 billion dollars last year, of course none of these sheep have a problem with this because the GOP is owned by the big oil companies who rip us off at the pump. These teabaggers bow down and pray daily at the altar of Grover Norquist because that is easier to do than to actually think for themselves and to instead be the sheep they are.

Very original, "Teabagger" straight from the garbage of a liberal tongue :)

If you have no sense of humor, there’s no doubt about it, you are a flaming leftwing liberal.

Consider the words of the first President ofthe United States George Washinton if you think morals do not come into play in politics and in the founding of this Nation.

From is Farewell address.
"Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports... Let it simply be asked, where is the security for propert, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instuments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion... whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on mindd of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."

Those who are so vehemently opposed to the teabagging phenomenom are simply turning a blind eye to the political pulse of the country right now. People are getting fed up with being taxed to death because the government says it's best for them, especially in a down economy.

As history has proven time and again, when the people feel too much government breathing down their necks they will rise up and push it back. That's what the tea bagging movement is all about. Nothing more, nothing less.

Despite the left's attempt to portray it as some sort of wingnut event, the teabagging movement is simply every day Americans standing up for a fundamental principle of democracy -- government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Not government of the Obama administration, by the Obama administration, and for the Obama administration.

It will take more than an ability to swat flies to change that.

If you are a complete moron and a right wing nut job, you might be Kat.
If you look like a mindless sheep, you might be Kat.
If you swoon when you see a picture of the Dear Leader Bush, you might be Kat.
If you like to make borderline racist statements, you might be Kat.
If you celebrated when Doctor Tiller was murdered, you might be Kat.
If you are in desperate need of a life, you might be Kat.
If you drool on command when shown a picture of Grover Norquist, you might be Kat or at least one of Pavlov's dogs.
If you have pictures of dead Iraqi children hanging on your walls, you might be Kat.
If you are still crying over John McCain being wiped out by Obama, you might be Kat!
And finally, if you guys want to teabag each other, that is your business, I say no to teabagging!

Oh, knock it off, Atkins. We all know it's you.

There is good reasons why tea people look like extremists and that's because they believe extreme things.

Did you not see tea people insist one after another on camera that the president wasn't born in America?

Did you not see tea people post links to Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, and Bill o'Reilly type books and then claim the event is for moderates?

In Barack Hussein Obama’s own words, “who told you being honest is a white thing”
 
I don’t know about you but when my mama taught me about being honest, she never brought color into it.  She made it clear it was the ethical and moral thing to do…period!

“We need earmark reform,” said Obama “And when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.” TRUTH?
 
“I am proud we passed an economic recovery plan ‘free’ from earmarks” BHO TRUTH?
 
“This bill does not have a single earmark” BHO (single = zero, zip, none!) TRUTH?
 
“without earmark or usual pork barrel spending” BHO TRUTH?
 
And his administration said…
 
"There will be no earmarks in this economic recovery plan…I know it's the Christmas season, but President-elect Obama and I are absolutely determined that this economic recovery package will not become a Christmas tree." - Vice President-Elect Biden; 12/24/08 TRUTH?
 
“I can pledge to you that no earmark or any of that, any description you want to make of it will be in the bill that passes the House.” - Speaker Pelosi, 1/11/09; CNN’s “Late Edition” TRUTH?
 
“Congress should have public hearings in the appropriate committees, the text of the measure should be made available online for the American people to review for at least one week, and it should be free from special-interest earmarks. This is the taxpayers’ money, and they deserve to know their hard-earned tax dollars aren’t being wasted.” - House Minority Leader Boehner; 1/5/09 TRUTH?

“We screwed up” BHO - Finally, the TRUTH!
 
ALL Lies, lies and more lies… what we have is a huge spending spree with over 9,000 earmarks with NO Veto’s, and business as usual.
 
I don’t know about you but the rest of you but when my mama taught me about being honest, it wasn't a color thing! It was an ethical and moral thing…period!
  
This nearly $13 billion ‘stimulus’ contains 9,287 pork projects.  Now this is TRUTH you can believe.
 
BTW This bill represents nearly everything Democrats had criticized about the earlier Republican Congresses.

And liberals wonder why Americans protest, it's pretty simple WE WERE LIED TO!
 
 

First you have Tammy Bruce call Michelle Obama trash and then lead a tea party and now you have Michelle Malkin, another tea party favorite, go after her too.

What is it with tea party people that they cannot leave the first lady alone or at least be respectful?

To me the local tea party organizers seem like a club of the Ventura County Republican Central Committee. Maybe that's why the VCRCC has linked to their events.

They complain about Rep. Frank, Rep. Pelosi, President Barack Obama but they never mention local Republicans.

If they were interested in reform they could discuss and research the earmarks that Rep. Gallegly requests.

http://www.house.gov/gallegly/projects/projects2010.htm

What's the use of complaining about earmarks without researching what is happening locally?

Do the tea party organizers have an opinion on the lobbyists hired by the County Board of Education and the earmarks they were pushing for?

Think globally, act locally.

Oh, Say No… thanks for proving my point and so quickly too! YOU have NO sense of humor, But I do YOU were very funny – thanks for *lol*

Here’s a little TRUTH for you ‘Truth’ and this time it’s no laughing matter.

There is good reasons why Libs are of the MOST extremist and that’s because they believe VERY extreme things like:

Kill an unborn baby, BUT hug a tree to SAVE a forest – extreme, yeah think?

Cut OFF water supply to farms, KILL the crops to SAVE a little bitty fish – extreme, gee… let me think, yeah!

I know here’s another one – they are the first to throw around the ‘R’ word and play the race card. “who told you it was a white thing” ~ BO
Here’s a good one – gay pride parades where (guys for lack of a better term), don themselves in g-strings, strap sex toys around their hips, while To, Dick & Harry are huggin’ and kissin’ on a float is good wholesome family entertainment – extreme, can you agree maybe just a little bit!

Oh yeah, the do as I say, not as I do extremists want you to sacrifice YOUR comforts and conveniences to help alleviate the cost of government 'out of control' spending while they dismiss themselves from the very things they demand of the public ~ you know like hoping a flight on Air Force One to NY for your anniversary… now there was sacrifice! Can I have two tickets please my anniversary is coming up?

They WILL change the world even if they do have to spend every last buck of YOUR money to do it! That’s right not even your family jewels are safe!

Rachel Maddow and questions?

Let’s not forget political correctness, talk about extreme. Rewrite history books; remove the ‘truth’ because the ‘truth’ might offend someone. This is just a strong arm Liberal approach to force someone else to comply with THEIR way of thinking, whether others like it or not. Extreme, are you kidding? It’s more than extreme; it’s about as radically far left as you can go when you think you can simply change history by the stroke of a pen. Today it's Mt Rushmore, tomorrow it's the Alamo, lest someone's feelings get hurt!

Wait a minute, what about taxes and those who think that fair taxation is not fair until the people who make more money pay more than their fair share – extreme? Extremely insane!

I really must exercise my ‘free speech’ even if it does contradict what some believe, even if some call it "hate speech." Really… it’s okay to call a conservative a tea*****, that’s ‘free speech’ but call a Lib a Libtard and that’s HATE speech – extreme? You figure it out! It’s a double standard at best.

Indulge me just one more time. Those who blindly believe that the government would never, ever, in their wildest dreams do anything to hinder their freedoms no matter how much power it is given and that the government is the answer to all economic and social problems because they know what's best for you, after all, what are Big Brothers for but to help – extreme, do I really need to spell it out? Okay than, HELL YES!

Hey, "The Record", what about Keith Older-man and Rachel Dykow's rants against anything Republican, or the least bit conservative, for that matter. They consistently trash Republicans over there at "MSNBS", including constant references back to the Bush administration. They can't seem to leave the past behind because it gives them something to harp about and try to keep themselves relevant.

I say, what's good for the goose should be good for the gander.

It's hilarious how some of the Tea Party signs read "Socialism is Un-American" and "Liar" in reference to Obama, when the Republicans of the last regime thought lying about WMDs to decieve its citizens was alright. Both parties are wrong
on the major issues that face our nation today.

They both seem "un-American" to me.

Just Say yes, The Repubs have spent the past eight years doing everything they could to ensure they'd be singled out for blame and criticism. let the Dems enjoy a few months of making them eat crow.

Reality check: the same people running the Tea Parties in CA also share the blame for creating a $8B/year budget gap by ending the $4B/year auto tax and adding over $4B in annual debt service payments through borrowing and bonds. If not for those two bonehead initiatives CA would NOT have a deficit. If we reset things back to before the Governator & the Repubs pushed the auto tax repeal (simply so he could get himself elected) and floated so many bonds, CA would have a budget surplus.

It's NOT the legislature that's at fault. Its the voters. And now the Tea Party folk want the voters to skip out on the bill. That's a lot worse than socialism...that's immoral!

Oh, of course, GS. It's the voters who are to blame. Why couldn't I figure that out?

That's government talking, GS, in case you don't realize it. They'd love you to believe that it's all your fault. The problem is, you're not taxed enough. They'll take care of that for you. All you have to do is trust them. They'll be sure to spend the money wisely.

The City Council in Ventura just voted last night to put a sales tax increase measure on the November 3rd City ballot. Lots of luck, fellas. I've also got some swamp land in Florida I'm looking to unload. Any takers?

You can keep repeating the Tea Party mantra all you want...it doesn't change the fact that CA spendign is out of control because CA voters voted to add $8B/year of spending...all the while never thinking how they'd pay the bill.

What was that Repub theme you guys kept stuffing down everyone's throats...."Personal Responsibility"? How quickly that was forgotten....by Repubs...when it became a burden.

Ventura City is raising taxes to try and make up for the losses caused by Schwarzenoggin & Company's lotting of city & county coffers, to make up for the deficits they talked YOU into voting for.

So...Alaska has oil extraction fees of 25% of the value of oil pumped out of the ground. CA charges 0%. CA is the ONLY state that doesn't charge an oil extraction fee.

CA legislators proposed a 6% oil extraction fee that would have generated about $1.6B/year in revenues. Repubs leaders blocked it.

CA should be charging what Alaska charges: 25%...and generate $6.4B/year in revenues. That would retire the State's deficit in 3 years.

Why won't CA Repubs leaders allow us to charge the same fees EVERY OTHER state charges?

Because they get huge contributions from oil companies, gs. You know that. And Schwarzenegger's backed off the idea after proposing it at the beginning of the year.

L.A. Times:

Chevron, giant of the California oil industry, has again dug deep into its pockets to contribute to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s most recent favorite campaign cause – and consumer advocates are charging that skulduggery is afoot.

Just days after the package of ballot measures that Schwarzenegger supported flopped in the May 19 special election, Chevron donated $250,000 to the governor’s California Dream Team political account. The big check came on top of $500,000 the oil company had already contributed to the push for the ballot measures.

All that loot prompted Doug Heller, executive director of Consumer Watchdog, to dispatch a letter to the Legislature’s top Democrats, saying Chevron is “seeking protection” from a potential oil extraction tax that could help California with its cash troubles.

Heller noted that California is the only oil-producing state in the nation without an extraction tax, and he asked why lawmakers aren’t putting the idea back on the table. A 10% extraction tax on every barrel of crude pumped from California soil, he said, could raise up to $1 billion – money that would go a long way toward offsetting Schwarzenegger’s proposed deep spending cuts.

The same people that have been bamboozled into this anti-tax crusade are the same ones that swallowed hook, line & sinker when the Far Right created the slogan "Smaller Government" (they made it bigger), when they offered "Honesty in Government" (they turned out to be despicable crooks)), "Family Values" (they actually turned on families and children), "Religious Freedom" (all the while mocking Christians behind their backs), "Fiscal Responsibility" (Boy, was THAT a joke) and now "No New Taxes" (but they're quick to raise fees, service charges and the overall cost of living at a rate of $3 for every $1 they pretend to save us.

Every time the far Right did it, they did it to bamboozle people into going to the polls to vote against their own self interests and while they were at it, to cast a vote to keep local Far Right politicians in office.

Stop voting AGAINST your own interests. At the next tea Party, ask someone...Why isn't California charging oil extraction fees like every other state in the Nation, if by doing so, every California taxpayer could see their tax bills drop by over $600 each year?

If you said these things...

If you celebrated when Doctor Tiller was murdered, you might be Kat.
If you have pictures of dead Iraqi children hanging on your walls, you might be Kat.

You're the WORST kind of dem... YOU'RE SICK and in need of professional help!

And whose pictures hang on your walls Mr. Dem... Chavez, Hezbollah, or maybe Rev. Wright.
Whatever, you're the bigot here Mr. Dem, and the one against 'free speech', the one who apparently dislikes your own countries DEMocratic process.

One day on you're wall Mr. Dem, you'll have another framed picture.It will be of a group of freedom loving Americans standing up for to secure your sorry @$$ freedom, known as
Tea Party Patriots.

What is so revealing about all your posts is the tremendous FEAR you have for such a small outspoken group that are in opposition to little oh you.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we are not a small group, we are growing bigger everyday and we are not going away! What's even bigger news is that more and more dems are climbing aboard.

Now... a good therapist might help you, you might want to call Dr. Phil.

Say No to Teabagging - I find your comments to be very offensive, juvenile and lacking any redeeming value. What is wrong with you that you would make such vile and hateful comments towards a complete stranger, such as...
"If you celebrated when Doctor Tiller was murdered, you might be Kat."
"If you have pictures of dead Iraqi children hanging on your walls, you might be Kat." Is this what America is becoming, a place where some people (like yourself) find it enjoyable and cute to be so disrespectful towards another American's views and opinions because they differ from their own?

By the way, referring to another as a "tea bagger" could technically be construed as sexual harassment, which is an offense in this country. So, are you a politician, as someone else is claiming, who is now guilty of sexually harassing another?

To those who are making the arrogantly false claim that all of us who are involved in the Tea Party movement are Republicans or Conservatives, guess what? You are WRONG! Diane is my sister and I am the co-founder of our STOMP organization, yet we are both very different in many of our beliefs. Diane is religious and many of her stances come from a Biblical standpoint. I, on the other hand, am completely non-religious and my stances are very secular. I believe that gays are entitled to the same rights as the rest of us. I also believe that they are born as they are and their sexual orientation is not a sinful choice, but instead something that is natural for them genetically. I believe in the right to choose euthanasia and I don't believe in a place called "Hell."

However, I am an American and I believe in protecting and defending the Constitution. I believe in protecting and defending my country from those without AND within who would try to destroy our way of life. I believe that EVERYONE in this country should have a right to their beliefs and to voice their opiniion WITHOUT being insulted, threatened or ridiculed. Sadly, it seems that there are many out there now who believe that only SOME people, ie liberals and Democrats, should have the right to speak out or protest and the rest of us should be silenced and labelled as extremists and/or terrorists.

I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I am an AMERICAN.

Don't forget the next Tea Bag Demonstration will be held on Saturday, July 4th, 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM, on the sidewalk in front of the Ventura County Government Center, at the corner of Victoria Avenue & Telephone Road, in Ventura.

See all you faithful American taxpayers there!

Diane,

I found some good speakers for your Tea Party or um sorry your S.T.O.M.P. thingy.

Just Say Yes,

Stop by our website and let us know how it went on the 4th. Make your voices heard loud and clear. Remember it's Independce Day - re-declare YOUR freedom from higher taxes on BIG business, that are passed down to the consumer in higher price of goods, to National Healthcare, to CAP and TRADE, NO to government intervention in private sector, to Tyranny...

Diane,
The 4th of July is a bad day for me. I will be celebrating my Countries independence from the Republicans and their crimes against America and humanity.

Could we have the S.T.O.M.P. party on another day?

'Nobody,' my, my, you DO watch some interesting videos! "10 Craziest Child Preachers?" And you call us nuts! ROFLMAO! But I do thank you for the few minutes of mindless entertainment the video provided. Might I suggest that you just might have too much free time on your hands if you have to resort to searching out such silly clips on YouTube to keep your mind occupied? Maybe you should take up scrap booking or collecting string? LOL!

In all seriousness...you come on here and insult, denigrate and offend those who are at least getting off their butts to do something proactive. So, just what are YOU doing of value to help get this country back on its feet? Is juvenile behavior the best you can do?

Cindy,

You can mix the ingredients any way you want you're still baking cookies for the Republican Party.

Yeah, uh huh, right. And all black people who believe in equality MUST be supporting the Black Panthers, anyone who supports gay rights MUST be homosexual or a lesbian, any who support capitalism MUST be owners of large corporations, etc... Your rationale is faulty and illogical. You are ignorant and easily mislead, so you MUST be mixing Kool-Aid for the Democrats. ((BIG GRIN))

Cindy,

Do you know who Richard Mellon Scaife is? He is the Republican creating these fake grass roots groups called "Tea Parties".

You can ramble all the nonesense you want. Start one fake group after another it makes no difference. As soon as people find out you are a Republican group you have to change your name and start again. You aren't doing it for America. You're doing it for Mike Osborne, Tony Strickland, Elton Gallegly, Mike Gibson, Dean Kunicki people like that. Sleep tight tonight.

Nobody, again I ask you... So what are YOU doing to try and make a difference?

Cindy,
I am working on getting California a new governor before our state is destroyed.

Guess what Nobody, so are we! You see there is some common ground among all political persausian.

Stop by the Rally and sign our petition to recall the governor if you really want your voice to be heard.

Why should we join a rally to replace the governor with some far right person that will work against some of our basic rights?

^___^

Sounds like you want him to remain in office. I think the ivitation speaks for itself. We are NOT advocating who the replacement should be, but offering the oportunintiy to sign a petitioning to recall the governor, better than sitting around just complaining and doing nothing don't you think? The rally is not about endoring anyone.

You want to recall the governor? Sure, but how do we know the replacement would be better? Isn't that what gave us our current governor in the first place?

If your rallies aren't about endorsing anyone then why is your reading list so one sided on your website?

By the way, who is it that you and Glen Beck surround?

Nobody, looks like we agree on something :) As for just who should replace Arnie, I have no preferences at this time. Throw some names at me if you have any ideas of who might be worth watching, regardless of party affiliation.

"By ^___^ on June 28, 2009 11:22 AM

If your rallies aren't about endorsing anyone then why is your reading list so one sided on your website?"

The reading list might appear one sided, but nowhere do we endorse anyone in particular. Our site is geared towards those of similar interests, but thats as far as it goes. ANYONE is welcome to join our forum and voice an opinion or viewpoint without fear of being insulted or ridiculed.

^___^,

Yes I do want to recall the gov. and honestly at this point in time have no idea who would be a better replacement. I just know what we have is wrong for CA.

As statement before I don't hide the fact that I am a conservative. The reading list is what others want to read. Do you have a book you would like to recommend, I would be happy to add it. I believe we have liberal view points as well as conservtive. I will also honestly state we do not endorse all political views expressed on our website, but like I said if you have some suggested reading we will be happy to add it.

I don't no who Glem Beck surrounds:) or why he chose that phrase but I support the 912 because I agree with the following 912 core values are good for America:

Honesty
Reverence
Hope
Thrift
Humility
Charity
Sincerity
Moderation
Hard Work
Courage
Personal Responsibility
Gratitude

I also embrace the 9 principles that must be lived by:

1. America is good (better that any place on earth). 


2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life. 


3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The 'traditional' family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority (over our family), not the government. 


5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. 


6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.


7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. 


8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. 


9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

So in a nut shell I agree with most but not ALL that he personally stands for, BUT I see these principle and values worth embracing and endorsing.

Diane,
Any and all Republicans in Ventura County have to automatically become a member of the VCRCC. The Ventura County Republican Central Committee has rules that must be followed. Number 8 is a clear violation of the VCRCC rules. Did you know that?

I think signing people up automatically in the VCRCC is wrong. What do you think?

Nobody,

You are speaking of politicians, correct?

If so, no I did not know that and if what you say is true I would agree with you that signing them up automatically is wrong, it violates personal conscience. This is not to say we should disobey the laws of the land, but we can disagree and use the democratic process for change.

Diane,
No, regular people automatically become members of the VCRCC if they move to Ventura County. They are told to support "the VCRCC" candidates and "their" initiatives according to the VCRCC bylaws.

I can give you references of people who are to Republican and tried to have a personal opinion and were punished for it.

Eric,I wonder, the Administration that was asleep at the wheel in your blaming 9/11 on, could that have possibly been the one that also had White House aides on their knees?As bad as the circumstances were under Bush in your overly active imagination youd think that he was trying to take total governmental control over America. Something that Obama and his liberal congress is well on their way to doing in just two short months.The black man doesnt bother me even though your favorite word for me is racist. The bottomfeeders do. They are there because they choose to be not because they havent been afforded the chances to rise above their squallor.I did look at Wikipedias explaination of ACORN, and then did a liltle further exploring. The various sites gave me ACORN telling me what a good institution ACORN is. Well pat me on the back Superman, did you honestly think any of those sites were going show any thing derogatory about them. An intelligent person would wonder who has to do the reasearch. I deal in sound reasoning, rational thought and common sense. I dont believe everything I hear or read from the left-media. I suggest you do the same in order to get a less one sided veiw. Thats oppressive.
