It’s Not About Political Parties. It’s About Liberty

How can a “crazy” Californian and a “conservative” Georgian be friends? It’s simple – through the principles of ’98. In 1798, the John Adams administration signed into law that Alien and Sedition Acts, which made it a crime to publish “false, scandalous, and malicious writing” against the government or its officials. In practice, it was used to quell the freedom of speech in dissent against the sitting administration.

In the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, Thomas Jefferson responded:

“the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government”

But wait – that’s not all.   Click here for the rest of the story.

Saturday Rallies

Both the South Florida 912 Project and the South Florida Tea Party had rallies on this cloudy, rainy Saturday. First, the South Florida Tea Party assembled in honor of the 1 year Tea Party anniversary of Rick Santelli’s Rant on CNBC (2/19/09). A crowd of 30-50 showed up at noon on the corners of Okeechobee and Military Trail. (Another group stood at PGA and Military Trail.) Everett Wilkinson, one of the founders of the group and its leader and spokesman, took a video of the participants with signs protesting government spending, the size of government,the health-care reform bill, West Palm Beach term limits, and numerous other issues. Ed Lynch, candidate for Congressional District 19 stood with us. There was a lot of traffic at the fast moving intersection and we got the usual honks and thumbs up as well as some not so favorable hand gestures.

Next was the South Florida 912 Project’s Rally for America with Elizabeth at Okeechobee and 441. People lined up with their signs around the corner as the 50 or so demonstrators joined Elizabeth Andrijauskas. There was slightly less traffic at this intersection and the cars went by somewhat slower but we got a lot more honks so this neighborhood was more supportive. Candidates Lynch and Tami Donnally (Florida House 85) joined us as well as Dennis Lipp (Vice Mayor of Loxahatchee Groves). Joe Budd came with a giant flag. People from as far away as Miami participated. South Florida 912 Project co-founders Shannon and Doug Armstrong mixed with the crowd and spoke with Everett when he joined us at this rally too. The mist turned into a heavy drizzle as the crowd persisted with umbrellas and ponchos.

A number of members of RCPB participated in the rallies, including Mercedes Garcia (who stands with Elizabeth on many weekends), Delia Garcia Menocal, Carol Hurst, Madi Page, and Fred and Iris Scheibl.

As many of us transition to activist activities directly helping candidates for public office, it’s important to make a visible statement every so often so that the public knows that the ‘sleeping giant’ is still awake!

Meet Pat Hughey, Candidate for PBG City Council

Those who attended our recent lunch meeting had a chance to see and hear Pat Hughey, running for Palm Beach Gardens City Council seat 2 against current Mayor Joseph Russo. The election is March 9, 2010.

Pat has been a Gardens resident since its founding and has contributed to the community in various ways, including being a founding member the Citizens Mobile Patrol, and working on city beautification and safety issues.

Her campaign is focusing on improving transparency in city government, trimming the budget, and arguing for term limits, as she believes the 24 years the incumbent has held the seat is way too long.

If you would like to meet Pat and Rob Palladino, the candidate for PBG Council seat 4, there will be a public meeting on Sunday, February 28, 2010, from 2:00PM to 4:00PM at 601 Heritage Blvd. in the University Commons, Jupiter, FL.

For more information, you can visit Pat’s website HERE.

While you were watching Healthcare… UPDATE

With all eyes are on the health care summit, Democrats have slipped into the bill a new provision that would establish criminal punishments for CIA agents and other intelligence officials who engage in “cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment” during interrogations.

Read more at the Washington Examiner

and with some quick action… “Republicans brought this to the attention of the American people, who were rightly outraged that Democrats would try to target those we ask to serve in harm’s way and with a unified push we were successful in getting them to pull the bill. The annual intelligence bill should be about protecting and defending our nation, not targeting those we ask to do that deed and giving greater protections to terrorists.”

Weekly Standard

Will Charlie Crist Ditch the GOP?

Two highly placed and independent sources, speaking strictly on background, tell me that Gov. Charlie Crist is preparing to leave the Republican Party and run as an independent in the race for the U.S. Senate.

With Crist trailing Marco Rubio by 18 points in the latest polls, the Crist campaign has been in panic mode, launching attack after attack on the conservative Rubio.

Yesterday, the attacks reached a crescendo with the Crist campaign, and/or his disgraced Republican Party of Florida thug bootlickers,…

The Constitution & Faith

5pm – 7pm on Sunday February 28 at Palm Beach Community Church in Palm Beach Gardens

Sign-up for the class  http://www.pbcc.cc/impact-training-center  .  The bottom right of the page should allow for registrations. 

Class Summary: 

What was the faith that brought the people to write our Constitution? How does the Constitution protect the faith of all people?
It seems our Faith and our Politics are at odds with the rest of the world, however it wasn’t always this way. The founders of America were solidly entrenched in their faith and they we’re able to ensure that others, not of their faith could live peaceably with them. How did they do this? The answer lies in the ideas behind the written Constitution of the United States and it’s original intent as defined by the Founders. In this class “The Constitution and Faith” we will discover what the Founders believed about God and Government (their Faith) and what they produced and develop (Our Constitution) to bring the two in line with one another while insuring all men had free will to act in this new Republic.

RIGHT Nights has a Standing Room Only – 2nd Event

RCPB heard the call loud and clear for an evening meeting in Central Palm Beach County. Tonight was our SECOND meeting and I am pleased to annouce it we had to bring in additional chairs… and two people stood for the program.

Ed Lynch continued his call for action. The Dist 19 race is the single vote to kill the current healthcare reform bill. This is America’s seat and the decision on April 13th will be America’s WAKE UP call.

Right Night attendees received a second treat. RCPB Past President Cheryl Carpenter Klimek shared with the audience information about the inner workings of a campaign and how volunteers can make a difference.

Next months RIGHT NIGHTS is going to the movies. We hope you’ll join us on March 24th at Muvico-City Place for the Florida Premiere of The Tea Party: Documentary Film.
