The TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party that was held on Nov. 7, was attended by over 80 local citizens. It was a great success and began a network of people, who have pledged to work together to help grow a community of individuals in our county and across the nation that will stand up for what they believe in. This is a movement comprised of conservatives of all parties who are worried that government spending is out of control. We believe in our great nation and understand our responsibility to work hard and support leaders that will not grow government, but grow the American Dream by letting the people govern themselves as laid out in the Constitution.
Tom Jenny, the director of the Arizona chapter of the conservative Americans for Prosperity, spoke to those gathered about the organizers of past civilized governments and the requirements of a free government, what works and what does not. Jenny quoted famous world leaders as far back as 2,600 years ago, China's Lao Tzu said on individual liberty, "The more prohibitions there are, the poorer the people will be..."
Others who spoke included David Stevens, Arizona State Representative, and three men who hope to be the successful candidate to run for District 8 Representative to US Congress in 2010 -- Brian Miller, Andy Goss and Tom Carlson, all outstanding men and true patriots. The fourth candidate, Jesse Kelly, equally outstanding, was represented well by his director of volunteers, Lynne St. Angelo. She announced a town hall, which was held this past Friday. Mary Ellen Dunlap, hopeful for Cochise County Clerk of the Superior Court, and Bruce Olsen, candidate for Arizona Governor, also spoke. The Old Time Fiddlers entertained and attendees also heard from Wallace Klump, who spoke about Liberty and Freedom. Sentiments were then expressed whole-heartedly by your friends and neighbors as they stood and expressed ideas and concerns they had for our great nation.
According to organizer, Peggy Judd, "It was an outstanding event and hopefully just the beginning of a movement by the people of our community to be a powerful force for good in our wonderful and free country."
