A special request to Ann Coulter: How did Mitch vote when it really counted?
Also, I get Mail:
The Times reports that McConnell and his allies are trying to “cut into (the Tea Party’s) fund-raising and diminish them as a future force in Republican politics.”
Since I sent out the last email about the National CCSS Demonstration, a few States have responded asking where the Demonstration will be located. EUSE is based in Florida and cannot assign locations in other States.
We have State Coordinators in 13 States who you can contact. I am attaching a list. Please contact me, if you are interested in becoming an EUSE State Coordinator.
Should you not have a State Coordinator, we suggest that you network with TP/912/Conservative organizations in your State to determine the best locations.
AN UPDATE ON FLORIDA CCSS DEMONSTRATION PLANS FOR SATURDAY, APRIL 5TH.
We are working to get as many States as possible to demonstrate on this day – at the same time: 2:00 PM Eastern, 1:00 PM Central, 12 Noon Mountain, 11:00 AM Pacific
This is primarily for those people/groups who are organizing a demonstration. But, I firmly believe that everyone should be “kept in the loop” and feel free to provide input/suggestions/criticism.
I received another suggestion for a sign: TESTS in ExCESS!!!
If you are in a large county, like Broward, where I live – pick a few District Offices in different areas of your county. In Broward, we will probably demonstrate at an office in the western, eastern, and central portions of the county. One of these locations should be easy to get to for everyone. If we receive feedback of a large turnout at all three locations, we would set up one in the northern and southern portions also.
Unless you have no other option – DO NOT demonstrate at the District Office of a Black legislator. The liberal media might jump at this – stating that this is an example of racial bigotry. Although TP/912 and Conservative Groups are mixed in race, ethnicity, and religion – the media loves to state that everyone is “Right Wing, White, and Religious Extremists”.
Unless your legislators are all of the same political party, try to demonstrate at the district office of both a Democrat and Republican. Always keep in mind that the liberal media is going to be looking for any excuse to denigrate our actions.
Districts often cover more than one county, This is especially true in smaller, underpopulated areas in the northern and rural areas of our State. Work to coordinate efforts with all counties.
Once locations have been determined, contact the city where the demonstration will be happening – giving the location, date, time, and general explanation of the reason for the event. So long as you are on public property (sidewalk, curb strip, etc.), they cannot deny your right to demonstrate. YOU DO NOT NEED TO GET A LICENSE OR PAY A FEE. Most cities will probably send a police officer to monitor the event.
At least two days before (Thursday, April 3rd), contact your local media and inform them of the demonstration. We want to give them enough time to report it . Post a notice on “social networks” like Facebook.
A week before, send an email with specific information about the demonstration to everyone on your contact list. Send a “Friendly Reminder” at least 24 hours before. Your email should suggest that they dress carefully – with no T-Shirts etc. that give a negative impression. Remind them that they may be photographed and that this is the type of thing the media loves to focus on. We don’t want to give them any “ammunition”.
If you have the inclination (and energy), you may want to make a flyer and distribute it to people/organizations you believe might want to participate.
Because there is no guarantee that your local media will cover the demonstration, encourage people to bring a camera and/or video. These can then be posted on U-Tube, Facebook, and other websites. Definitely, parents should bring their children – the more the better.
This is YOUR local demonstration. You may want to ask someone in your area to give a short speech. You also will need to choose someone to lead the Pledge of Allegiance (Remember to bring a flag!) – possibly a Boy/Girl Scout troop or Veterans Organization.
As the demonstration is on the birthday of Booker T Washington, you may want to do some research and possibly make reference to his philosophy and contributions to education. He was a Black REPUBLICAN who was against the NAACP – created when he was alive. He did not agree with their actions – believing, like Martin Luther King, Jr., in peaceful, non-combatant actions.

Over 700 “new” planets have been discovered. Nate Beeler thinks the GOP is hoping to find a formidable candidate on one of them.
Sorry. There are some formidable candidates here on earth, but the GOP is deplorable not formidable.
The left picked the farthest out wacky wing candidate and ran him through. The GOP can’t even field a conservative. McCain then Romney? Are they trying to lose?
RUN, SARAH, RUN!!
I’m sure getting tired of all those traitors whining because patriots want to save the country. No, I’m not talking about liberal Democrats.
I’m talking about those who “choose their battles”. So choose already. They only choose to compromise our Constitution and our liberties. When have they ever stood with their toe to the line and held?
I have two things to say to them. First, you can’t win by continually retreating. Choose one or sit down and shut up! Second, these words of Winston Churchill.
If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
And for the rest of you.
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
When someone asks me about the issue of Common Core, I have to ask, which issue?
•The fact that they were written by trade organizations and not educators?
•The fact that the were adopted without legislative approval?
•The fact that they are inappropriate standards for early childhood?
•The fact that they are lower standards than many of the standards we had in place?
•The fact that they have no projected cost analysis?
•The fact that they collect data on my children and family without my permission?
•The fact that they include questions on tests that are inappropriate for my children?
•The fact that they may be in violation of three federal laws governing education?
•The fact that personal information is being sold to testing companies for profit?
•The fact that teachers are being evaluated on the outcome of questionable and unproven tests?
•The fact that school boards have lost all control over their schools?
•The fact that the government changed laws to release personal data to virtually anyone?
•The fact that these standards will not prepare students for a STEM career?
•The fact that the methods used in math are frustrating, senseless and unproven?
•The fact that they push the math sequence down by one year essentially eliminating Calculus in high school?
•The fact that parents aren’t allowed to see the test results?
•The fact that the teachers don’t have and don’t understand the curriculum they’ve been forced to teach?
•The fact that no one knows about what is happening in our schools?
Now, which issue would you like to start with?
That is the issue with Common Core.
Adapted from NY Against Common Core.
A few months ago, the “Pause Bill” was filed in the Florida House – which stops the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) until “certain requirements are met”.
The CCSS “Pause” Bill (House Bill 25) was just filed in the Florida Senate today. Senate Bill 1316
https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2014/1316
Similar Legislation could be a way to delay the implementation of CCSS in your State.

Those of you who read the previous post should at least now realize that the liberal definition of compromise is that you give a little today, more tomorrow, more the next, ad infinitum. If not, you’re hopeless.
If you think Cruz should have compromised today so the Republicans could compromise again tomorrow, I’m not talking to you. You’re on the wrong site.
If you think it was OK to compromise right, truth, justice, and the American way yesterday, the day before and for the last 200+ years, you’re neither a Patriot or Conservative. If you think Cruz should have not asked for at least a compromise instead of compromising right,,,,, you’re on the wrong site.
Pretty soon, if not already, there will be so many moochers on the government tit that it will not be possible to shut down the government until it obeys the Constitution. Obama shut down the government this time and blamed the conservatives. It’s time to shut it down and blame Obama and force Washington to obey the Constitution. If you’re a Republican first and a Patriot second, let me clue you in. You’re neither.
Since when is murder a social issue? Frankly I didn’t believe I could become more ill over those who dismiss the abortion debate as a “social issue” until I read the following article:
after birth abortion
What do you say now…do you still think a woman’s right to choose to murder her child is just a social issue that should be avoided during election cycles? Apparently the 54 million babies who have been murdered through abortions isn’t enough for the radical progressives who are now claiming “[W]hen circumstances occur after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible.”
Forget the rape and incest arguements, which is the darling excuse of the radical progressives…..that would have been true before this child was delivered….call it what you will but regardless of the name it’s murder, plain and simple. IT’S INFANTICIDE!
I have always believed that the arguments about when a life actually begins was just smoke and mirrors. Abortion advocates are NOW telling me I was right. The ridiculous claims that were made about when life begins….how can they even make such a claim anymore. They don’t care, they just want to murder more babies.
The above article that I cited is not the first article I read on this issue but tonight, as I was reading this article I became so infuriated with the author’s take on this that I wanted to scream. His arguments are not so much based on the disease of abortion as it is built around the position that this new debate might make abortionists look bad. How bad does it have to get?
While the argument will be made about something often identified as “birth defects”….like any of us are actually born perfect, the proponents of this have made it very clear that cost, including economic consideration, should be a factor as to whether or not a woman should be able to decide if she wants to kill her baby, At the center of this is an argument that a newborn is not really a person. That personhood argument was once used to keep blacks in chains and to deny women the right to vote. Those were horrendous beliefs but to take this as far a snuffing out the life of a living and breathing infant just demonstrates how far we have moved away from being civilized.
Two of our members have been very active in the pro-life movement and they will be hosting the film 40 for members. They have opened up their homes because this issue is so important to them. The movie will be screened on Sunday March 2, 2014 from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM at the Paveglio residence, 1106 Park Drive, Palmyra, Pa 17078. Since space is limited, they have asked us to contact them if you are planning to attend. You can do so via phone at 717-838-5243 or email at sandrapav@verizon.net.
I leave you with this quote from Thomas Jefferson “God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
