The Tea Party Patriots vs. Tea Party Express

I’ve been reporting for weeks about the tussle between Tea Party Patriots and the Tea Party Express, which got ugly when Tea Party Patriots organizer Amy Kremer hopped on the Express and was forced out of TPP. On Monday, Tea Party Patriots filed suit against Kremer; they’re also seeking a temporary restraining order in the wake of Kremer locking down Tea Party Patriots resources on her way out. Yesterday, Kremer put out a statement on the situation, which was also distributed at Grover Norquist’s Wednesday meeting of conservative activists.

It truly saddens me that TPP leadership is expending an enormous amount of time and resources to pursue a frivolous lawsuit against me when this could have been resolved amicably, which I tried to do. Personally, I believe that the people of this movement would not want any time and money focused on a frivolous lawsuit, but would rather have these resources focused on fighting the socialist agenda of the current administration.

In the end, the reasons for my “removal” from any “leadership position” and this frivolous lawsuit cannot change the fact that I am still a Tea Party Patriot just as all of you.

Some information I’ve heard that isn’t in here: Kremer offered to make things right by giving the TPP all of their intellectual property if they granted her access to data and paid some backed-up expenses. They couldn’t work it out, so this happened.

I love it. Splintering, as fringe groups tend to do.

As usual, Monty Python nailed it in Life of Brian:

Or slintering like major-party groups did years ago.

If There Is No Change, There Is No Hope

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you have seen the “natural” disasters, the economy tanking, the lack of transparency, the push for a New World Order. It has not mattered, Republican or Democrat in office, “our” politicians are driving the U.S. into the ground. As the push for globalization continues, you can literally see the sovereignty of our great nation dissolving before your very eyes.

Can anyone reading this tell me truthfully that they feel the government is representing the American people with honesty, integrity or morals? Around the world the United States has made many enemies. People from other nations want to see the greatest nation in the world crumble. Why? Is the governmental system created by our forefathers really that bad or evil?

What the majority of the people fail to realize is that the system, if adhered to, is the best political system ever created. What our politicians have done with their power is against our laws. The U.S. Constitution has not been followed in American politics for decades. What others see as wrong is a direct result of a group of people with a hidden agenda to destroy this country and it’s sovereignty, melded into a one world government and financial system.

Citizens of America, we are at a crossroads and our country desperately needs our help. If we fail, it will be to the demise of the country our ancestors fought and died for. Democrats and Republicans alike have forgotten just who works for whom. If we are to restore our Republic back to its original form of government, we may just be able to declare America the land of the free once more.

Now many of you reading this may be saying “It’s too late, we no longer have a voice, we’ve let it go too far”. If this is your belief, I want to talk to you about a solution that we can all get involved in. We must be diligent, we can do this.

To put it simply, our government has been infiltrated. The U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence, as they stand at this very moment are dying. The political system however, does allow for us to vote. The problem is when you choose a side, you really aren’t choosing a side at all. Republican equals Democrat. When this fact has sunk in, please continue to read further. A little food for thought to help you along…….

If the most powerful government in the world (U.S.) wanted to achieve something, do you believe they would get it done? What would stop them? Let me give you a couple of examples using topics that most people are familiar with. First, let’s talk about education. If our government wanted to produce a system that allowed us to be competitive internationally, why haven’t they done so? If the United States government set their mind to securing our borders, what has gotten in their way? You see, there are hidden agendas everywhere within our political system. These agendas continually move us further and further away from the original intent and design of the system put forth by our founding fathers. In short, we do not need a new system. We need the old one back!

Government of any kind is made of only two things: People and words. Change them both and you have a new government, simple concept but very important. In this case, we don’t need to rack our brains as to what system we want here in America, we have the greatest system ever created at our fingertips. So close yet oh so far. If we all work together, maybe we can stretch far enough to reach out and grab it once more and never let it go again!

There is good news! A new political party has emerged on the scene. This Party knows about the hidden agendas of the New World Order. It knows our financial system is fiat, corrupt and we should have never let it come to be. This Party wants the United States of America to maintain her sovereignty! This Party does not represent the views of the Republicans or Democrats, they are Constitutionalists and have rose to the third largest political party in the country.

If we can have a government for the people, of the people and by the people as it should have always remained, then we’ve got a shot at giving our children and our grandchildren a future that offers them all a chance for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The Party I wish to introduce to you is The Constitution Party. I encourage you to educate yourself on their political platform as well as the information provided below.

If after looking at their platform, you feel that there are items that you just don’t agree with, please remember one thing: This party represents the ONLY political view that includes the restoration of the U.S. Constitution as the supreme law of the land. I ask that you focus your attention on what matters most, our sovereignty! “Our current politicians want to stay entangled with organizations such as the UN, WTO, IMF, CFR, Bilderberg Group, World Bank and many others. We need a grassroots movement like never before! We now have Czars in America! The dissolving of America as we know it, is well at hand. You have a voice, it needs to be heard with your vote. Truth and unity are on our side, we can fix our great nation, but only if we Stand United!!
