The Mississippi Tea Party Evolves
By · CommentsLast year, Jackson, MS residents joined together to form The Mississippi Tea Party. The newly minted organization was incorporated as a 501c(4) non-profit and was tasked to function as the local tea party for Jackson and surrounding areas. The Mississippi Tea Party held several very successful rallies in Jackson and participated in various projects along with many other Tea Party groups around the state including MeridianTeaParty.com.
Open Thread: Weekend Musical Break
By · CommentsIf you are not careful, all the politics and craziness coming out of Washington, D.C. are enough to get you down. Sometimes, it is good to stand back and get some perspective; otherwise, it will make you want to just give up and give in. When that happens to me, I find it helps to remind myself of why I’m fighting to keep my Freedom. It’s really very simple. I love my Country and I love the State of Mississippi and I love the life both have enabled me with God’s help to build for myself and my family. In the end, I just want to deserve the many blessings I’ve given.
We The People Video
By · CommentsOne of our own Tea Party members sent the following video to me and unfortunately it has taken me a couple of days to get time to watch it. It’s a little over 5 minutes long and all I have to say about it is “WOW!”

Dallas Tea Party Responds to Keith Olbermann

Congrats Dallas Tea Party! You did an awesome job!
An Open Letter To Liberals
By · CommentsTo Whom It May Concern:
It has come to my attention that even though We The People have made our preference for you to leave our health care system alone, you have now decided to attempt to ram this boondoggle down our throats using any means at your disposal. We have voiced our negative opinion of your approach to health care reform and you’ve ignored us. We have marched in the streets of Washington, D.C. and you’ve turned a blind eye and a deaf ear. We’ve made telephone calls, signed petitions, and recruited our friend and family to work with us to defeat this bill at every opportunity and you’ve continued tried to march us toward the socialism that you seem so desperate bring to America.
Bill Maher really needs no introduction. Just watch the clip.

Great News For Voter ID Ballot Initiative!
By · CommentsMarlissa Fillingane Northrop sent a message to the members of Mississippians for Voter Identification on FaceBook on February 8, 2010. We are happy to pass it along to everyone. Good work! It looks like we’ll be able to get Voter ID on the ballot in 2011. Check it out (emphasis added by TheGuru):
Subject: GOOD NEWS from MS GOP
From Jeppie Barbour, Mississippi GOP Office
February 8, 2010At the moment all five districts have exceeded their targets. Districts 1 and 2 and 3 all have comfortable margins (over 22,000). District 4 has just over 20,000 and District 5 has over 21,000. There are several hundred more in the Clerks’ offices in all 5 districts and the certified totals for all will rise. We can reasonably expect that every district will exceed 22,000. A lot of you have done a lot of work and some of you have done very, very much work. It took the teamwork of all of you and your volunteers and our friends from the Tea Party and the other Patriot groups to get this done.
I must ask you to round up every signature that is on a kitchen table or on the counter of a business. We owe it to the volunteers to get them turned in, even if there is not time to certify them. Please send in (by mail or by hand) everything which you can find. Also, please check with the Circuit Clerk and try to get all the petitions that are in the Clerk’s office sent on to us. Please check whatever the Clerk hands you and be sure that they are ours and not from the Personhood* group. We want to get all petitions, certified and uncertified, in to Jackson headquarters this week.
Right now we plan to deliver our petitions to the Secretary of State at 2 pm on Thursday the 11th. You’re welcome to come and to invite anyone who has helped. Let me say that we probably won’t need your help in getting the petitions turned in but we will welcome your company. To our College Republican leaders – you’re included in this invitation. So are your helpers.
To all of you, all over the state, and from all groups – thanks for your work.
Gordon Sinclair: The Americans
By · CommentsI know this is probably a little off-topic, but maybe not too far. I’ve heard and read in the past few weeks some of our world “neighbors” complaining about America’s response to Haiti. Other countries have complained that we are trying to take over Haiti or that we are somehow trying to capitalize on their crisis via our swift intervention. There have always been those who criticize this country no matter what we do. There have always been those who think that we are the wealthiest (not in a good way) country and that we “lord” it over others. And yet, even in the worst economy that I’ve seen in the last 30 years, Americans are giving and giving and giving. Read More→
