Tea Party Movement: We are the "Fringe" According to Obama
President Obama is leading the effort to marginalize and to discredit the Tea Party Movement. Why? He should take full credit for the countrys upheaval.
Now, even the Lame Stream Media leader, the Washington Post, admits the strength of the discontent across the country.
A Washington Post poll taken last week showed that more people view the movement favorably than unfavorably _ and that 62 percent believe it has either the right amount or not enough influence on the Republican Party.
(Both parties should take notice. No more polooitics as usual. Let's put the "NO" in November - go to www.NovemberIsComing.com).

Gov. Perry joins Austin July 4th Tea Party
Gov. Rick Perry joins list of speakers for
July 4 “Take Back America” Tea Party
AUSTIN – Americans for Prosperity-Texas announced today that Gov. Rick Perry will join the lineup of conservative leaders speaking at the “Take Back America” Tea Party on July 4 at the state capitol in Austin.
It is the second time Gov. Perry will speak at an Austin Tea Party. The first one, held April 15 at Austin City Hall, drew roughly 2,500 people. A line in the governor’s speech that day became the central message for the July 4 Tea Party: “Cut spending, cut taxes, shrink the size of government and re-read the Constitution!”
The theme of the rally is “Take Back America,” and will encourage the “silent” majority to voice that message to elected officials in Washington, D.C.
“Washington D.C., should look to Texas as a model,” said Peggy Venable, AFP-Texas director. “Under the conservative leadership in this state, Texas has become the top state in the country for job creation, we have the most Fortune 500 companies, more government transparency, are the largest exporting state, and still were able to balance our budget and leave $9 billion in the rainy day fund.”
Texas is the only large state in the country to have a balanced budget.
“The leaders in Washington, D.C. appear to be following the California plan,” said Venable, “and that is a recipe for disaster. Texas is the beacon of fiscal sanity and national leaders could learn from the Texas model.”
The Tea Party is a family event and – along with inspiring speeches – will provide information for citizens who want to learn how to help Take Back America. The Tea Party is part of a nationwide grassroots movement made up of individuals who are fed up with the unprecedented spending and expansion of the federal government.

Governor Perry Stands Up for States Rights
AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,” Gov. Perry said. “That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.”
Perry continued: "Millions of Texans are tired of Washington, DC trying to come down here to tell us how to run Texas."
A number of recent federal proposals are not within the scope of the federal government’s constitutionally designated powers and impede the states’ right to govern themselves. HCR 50 affirms that Texas claims sovereignty under the 10th Amendment over all powers not otherwise granted to the federal government.
It also designates that all compulsory federal legislation that requires states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties, or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding, be prohibited or repealed.
Gov. Perry will join Americans for Prosperity in a tea party with a strong message for Washington, D.C.: DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS! set for April 15 at ll:30 am at Austin City Hall. Joining the party will be Michael Williams, Texas Railroad Commissioner and great patriot. Stay tuned...
