Smaller Government

[Debray]

I attended the Steubenville, Ohio Tea Party April 15th. and found it wasn’t just about taxes.

It is something that involves all of us.

The growth of Bigger and Bigger Government that wants to control every facet of our life.

Farm Premiss ID, Taxation of farmers for livestock gas emissions, Taking away our right to bear arms, and telling us they will not let the 2nd amendment stand in their way, Bailouts that make Government bigger, Saying we are not a Christian Country, Saying we are an arrogant Country, and creating ways to increase Welfare, not ways to reduce it.


I always felt (We the People of the United States) are a Proud, God fearing, hard working Country that would come to the aid of others.

Our members of Congress and the Senate have nothing better to do than create new laws and come up with ways to spend more and more money.

One of the speakers at the tea party was a founder of Downsize DC .org

There are two bills and they are asking everyone to urge your Congressman and Senators to sponsor .

The first one was:

"Make Congress Read Their Bills Before Voting
Make Congress read every word of every bill they create before they vote on it.
Urge your Representative and your Senators to sponsor DownsizeDC.org's "Read the Bills Act" (RTBA)."

And the second one was:

"Make Congress pass DownsizeDC.org's "One Subject at a Time Act"
Most Americans probably believe a bill has to have majority support in Congress before it can become the law of the land. Sadly, this common sense expectation is totally wrong. Congressional leaders routinely pass laws that a majority opposes. DownsizeDC.org believes every bill should have to stand or fall on its own merits. Toward this end we have crafted the "One Subject at a Time Act" (OSTA)."

These two Bills alone would help to stop the endless waste, by making them atleast read the bill befor voteing on it, and the second one would stop them from attaching unwanted bills to popular bills.

As a closing statement we were asked is this the end or the beginning?

Are we going to go home and keep excepting what is going on or are we going to be involved and ask others to be involved?

Well, I guess this is my answer.

I attended the Cadiz, Ohio Tea Party yesterday.
It was interesting their Speaker was an East Germany, and was not an American Citizen, but he was a member of the NRA.
He said if we didn’t have the second amendment right to keep and bear arms, we would never be able to keep our First Amendment right to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of Grievances.
We are the only Country in the world that both of these rights, and in his Country in such an assembly protesters would be shot or imprisoned.
These Rights are not given by the Government, they are Our Constitutional Rights, that our Government should abide by, not alter.
The local News 9 was set up before most of the people arrived so they can report
“Not many showed up for the Schedule Cadiz Tea Party”
This is the same thing that happened at the Steubenville Tea Party April 15th.
The next day when I returned to work many said “I see there wasn’t a very good turn out on the news.” Then I showed them my pictures.
I think the word has been put out by the (Obama In the Pocket Media) not to report any positive feedback from the Nations Tea Parties.
