Sound Money Meeting, A Stern Warning.

On 1/10/2012 our first meeting of the new year brought out Mark Kent from Redding Tea Party to talk about “Sound Money”.  Mark has been in the financial business for almost thirty years and brought a warning about the current direction our economy is heading and a strategy for people to take.

Mark laid out the problem as follows that the U.S. government has borrowed well beyond it’s means and so has Europe.  The world has never faced a global collapse of all currency at the same period of time.  The dollar is quickly becoming the place of last resort for many, but we as all so closely tied to each other through all our banking and finance that when it all starts to go we all will be taken down.

The net result of currency backed by nothing but a promise and no real value that governments will have to inflate their way out of their debt.  Inflation steals our wealth.  It is good for governments and banks but not for Joe Citizen.  The only hedge out there currently is precious metals.  Real estate use to be, but with values still not near the bottom it is not the place to retreat to just yet.

Mark recommends Silver at this time since it is greatly undervalued and the world supply is very low.  The current value on silver is being held down by investors/ banks that have shorted the market and are working hard not to loose big.  This cannot last and when it goes it will go big.  Only gold and silver hold real value and in many countries and over a dozen states is still accepted as currency for payment on debt.

I know I have long seen the coming financial problems of California and the U.S. Government.  It is what got me involved in the Tea Party to begin with the gross overspending of the federal government.  We have sold our children and grand children into slavery to a debt we and they can never repay.  We must each take action to preserve our wealth and to prepare for difficult times ahead.

Defending Rural America Oct. 22

Sheriff\’s Stand Tall for the Constitution

YREKA – Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey will lead a powerful panel of County Sheriffs during the Defend Rural America event on Oct. 22 at the Siskiyou Golden Fairgrounds in Yreka, CA. Sheriff Lopey said many sheriffs are facing the same problems of increased unemployment, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, child abuse, elder abuse and domestic violence. That trend must be reversed, according to Sheriff Lopey.

“Regulatory over-site imposed on Siskiyou County residents, including our greatest industry of agriculture, threatens our economy, way of life, social issues and traditions,” explains Lopey. “Other sheriffs in Northern California and Oregon are having similar issues and we have a like-minded approach.”

Admittance to Defend Rural America is free; and those who seek solutions to threats against America’s national treasure of rural agricultural and open-space areas are encouraged to attend. Four groups are organizing Defend Rural America. They are: Siskiyou County Water Users Association, Scott Valley Protect Our Water, Yreka Tea Party and Redding Tea Party.

The event begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Commercial building at the fairgrounds with the premier showing of Kirk MacKenzie’s documentary DVD on Siskiyou County and its people. Seating is available for 1,000.

The film will show how the Klamath River Watershed is an integral part of Siskiyou’s issues, because of the proposal by both federal and state agencies to remove four well-maintained hydro-electric dams from the Klamath River. A number of groups throughout the region are raising awareness of the potential destruction to fish, wildlife and humans – if the huge dams are demolished. More information can be found at www.defendruralamerica.com.

After the documentary debut, the panel of Constitution Sheriffs will take the stage expressing their concerns. The audience will then be involved in a Question and Answer period.

Sheriffs who are standing with Lopey are: Grant County, Oregon Sheriff Glenn E. Palmer; Del Norte, CA. Sheriff Dean Wilson; Trinity, CA. Sheriff Bruce Haney; Shasta, CA. Tom Bosenko; and Tehama, CA. Sheriff Dave Hencratt.

Also joining the sheriff panel will be noted property rights attorney Karen Budd-Falen from Wyoming. Budd-Falen represents private property owners, ranching and farming organizations, and assists local governments in asserting their rights in federal agency decisions. She has exposed radical environmental groups’ abuse of the legal system and written for “Range” magazine.

Constitutional rights are the theme running through this Defend Rural America event, which will open its gates at 3 p.m. on Oct. 22nd. Vendors are setting up tables to share information until the Honor Guard brings in the American flag at 6:30 p.m. Donations to pay for the venue will be appreciated.

Defending the Tea Party meeting

The meeting of October 12th was highlighted by a presentation given by Bob Cochran on public speaking.  The focus of the discussion was in order to have a dialog one must first truly listen, attempt to understand, validate the others feelings and then and only then can one hope to be heard.

As we look at the news today we don’t see much of that from both sides of the issue and we in the Tea Party know this quite well.  Today the media darlings are the Occupy Wall Street group and we see public and political figures striding in to show support for their protest, but what are they protesting.  I have yet to see anyone really listening to them or trying to understand what is their message and where to they want to go.

The Tea Party was discounted instantly by the media and still today even after the powerful showing in the 2010 elections we are maligned and discounted.  We are told we are on the decline.  We were not listened too and if you listen to most of the pundits today they still don’t understand the Tea Party Movement or power.

We will be there in 2012 and America will see true political influence.  While the Unions (ALF/CIO, SEIU, Teachers Union) support and use the Occupy Wall Street mod to push their agenda, listen to understand the meaning of their message and judge for yourself if that is the America of your vision.  I know it is not of mine.

The Tea Party is alive and well and growing in power every month.  We will be more of a power player in 2012.  Republicans and Democrats need to be afraid because after November 2012 we are taking this country back from the Politicians and the Parties.

“One Nation Under God”

On August 9th I had the pleasure of listening and learning about so much of our American history and heritage that I knew nothing about.  I sat in the Cornerstone Assembly of God Church and listened to Tim Barton from Wallbuilders with about 165 other persons in attendance.  We learned about the facts that American Exceptional ism is based upon our county being a Christian Nation, founded and based on Christian principals and values.

I learned of all the preachers, women and black men that fought and died for the founding of our country, but of whom we know nothing about.  We have stopped teaching the history to our children in public schools and wonder why 26% of Americans do not know the 4th of July celebrates our separation from England.

I wish everyone could have been there to listen to the history and message that was delivered that day.  I know for me that I walked away with a since of hope that if America can reconnect with our Constitution and our Christian heritage we can turn this nation around.

Tea Parties going to the Fair!

If you find yourself walking around the Del Norte County Fair this year stop by the main building and visit us at the Del Norte Tea Party Patriots booth.  Once again we will passing on the word about the need for Americans to wake up and take back our country.

We the People need to get ready to take control of the election process.  We need to put candidates forward in the Democrat and Republican parties that hold the values of the Tea Party.  Constitutional limited Federal Government, fiscal responsibility and free markets.

We have so much work to do between now and Nov. 2012 and the revolt we started in 2010 was just a warning shot.  They have failed to listen and we must send a stronger message, enough is enough.  Do the peoples work not the desires of the political parties, power or money.  Once again we must send the message loud and clear, you work for us and we are going to hold you accountable.

4th of July Parade

This Forth of July don’t just watch the parade join it.  The Del Norte Tea Party Patriots will have a float in the parade and will march.  The theme of the parade this year is “A Grand Old Flag”  dress in your best patriot garb and walk with us.

We will be forming up at around 8:30 somewhere along the parade set up north of 9th st on H st.  Meet you there and join the fun.

We all have to realize we can not continue to spend and run our country off of the cliff.  We must stop and do the right thing and yes, it will hurt, but it is the right thing to do for our County and our children.

Constitution Class a Success.

The Lighthouse Inn was the home for eight hours of education and entertainment as Joseph Andrews taught 65 local patriots about the Constitution.  The crowd consisted had some young students who had come to learn about history not taught in schools today.

The class started with how the Founding Fathers studied and learned in their day and age.  Many were self taught and we learned the advantage to learn from the material written closest to the source.  They learned to read Latin and Hebrew in order to read the original text.  We can learn from them and follow their example to learn about our history.

The lunch was pot luck and it was a great time to socialize.  The afternoon secession went very fast as we focused on Thomas Payne’s “Common Sense” and came to realize what an impact his writing had on the decision to separate from England.

All and all it was a success and those in attendance seemed to enjoy the day spent learning about who we are and how we got to where we are today.  The final message was one of hope that as long as we truly learn about the Constitution we can save our country through hard work and “Davine Providence”.

First Movie Night a success.

We had ninety members attend our first movie night to watch “Generation Zero”.  Most got a lot from the film showing how America and the world had come to the edge of an economic abyss.  How straying from those core principals that our country had been founded upon had caused the whole failure of our system. 

How it was not a failure of our free market system, but a failure of governments duty to regulate commerce.  Politicians had gotten into bed with business during the 80’s and created a climate of high reward and no risk for them, because tax payers were covering their bets. 

We must now take painful and positive action in Washington DC and at the local level to cut spending, reduce the size and scope of government or risk the total loss our our freedom and the American Dream.

The American experiment is “Can Man Rule Himself” and for me and mine the Answer is “Yes”.
