112 First Coast Tea Party Hosts ‘D.C. Dirty Tricks’ Town Hall.txt

Around 400 individuals entered the hall Monday evening after work to learn the latest about the topics affecting the country. They came from all walks of life, all ages, to learn. They brought can goods for a food kitchen as a donation. As they visited with others as well as checked out the d?cor, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi characters floated around the room-stealing their money-the monopoly money they had been given when they entered. A fun way to make the point that Congress continues taking money from working people as fast as they can make it.

This was the second Town Hall for First Coast Tea Party and the first time that the meeting would be streaming live on the website. The stage was set for Halloween with scary pumpkins and cobwebs. As always, co-founder of FCTP, Billie Tucker, opened the evening with a prayer and the pledge and we all stood as the national anthem was sung. Billie recognized the military members that were in attendance and there were many. The crowd saluted them.

Then it was on to the meat of the night. Billie opened with a multi-media presentation on “D.C. Dirty Tricks.” She gave updates on topics ranging from the government healthcare bill to cap and trade and more. The crowd agreed, booed, clapped and agreed as Billie covered numerous topics. Nancy and Harry would make appearances throughout the evening and people enjoyed the fun but poignant statement made by the actors.

Then, Diane Leone, volunteer media liaison and social marketing leader presented “The Dirtiest Trick of All: Taking Away Our Freedom.” The presentation laid out how we got to where we are today and focused on highlights about Saul Alinsky, Cloward and Piven and George Soros, eventually showing a map of the ties from these people and all the organizations and others-including President Obama. The crowd gasped when they saw the chart. They listened intently, at times angry, and other times shocked as they learned many things they had not heard before. It started producing sense, the Rahm Emanuel statement about not wasting a great crisis and more. When the crowd saw the Rules for Radicals and the Cloward/Piven “Crisis Strategy,” a lot of things started making sense. And the realization that this was very happening, in America, sank in. It’s startling to learn that your President is considering signing a treaty that could take power over your Constitution, e.g. the Copenhagen treaty in December.

After the education, the Constitution was presented with a few uplifting points about the freedoms it gives us and the intentions of our Founding Fathers. The angels came to the front and “swept” Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi off the stage and as they turned the pumpkins around, they were beautiful, smiling faces.

It is amazing that people that have worked all day, have to find a baby sitter for their children and have not eaten dinner,'ll come for 2 1/2 hours to learn what is going on, learn about the Constitution, and just be with other like-minded people. It lets them cognize that they are not alone.
