Our First Billboard Is UP!
Posted by: | CommentsOn Friday, June 4th 2010, MeridianTeaParty.com’s first billboard went up in Meridian, MS!
The billboard is located on I-20/I-59, faces the east-bound lane and is on the exit for the mall. It will be seen an estimated 28,000 times per day! We are very pleased with the result and excited about the effect it will have on not only the Meridian/Lauderdale County community but also the thousands of travelers who pass through our city every day.
Here’s a photo of the new billboard:

To that end, we have several ideas for billboards and picture of each are shown below. Please review each billboard carefully and note the name of each.
Lt. Governor Phil Bryant Steps Up And Stands Up
Posted by: | CommentsK. Douglas Lee published a great story full of good news at Big Government today. I hope Mr. Lee won’t mind me republishing this here, but all our members need to read this:
Hopefully by now you are aware that Senator Chris McDaniel and I have filed a citizens class action lawsuit against the PPACA, the liberty-robbing “Obamacare” statute, in the federal court for the Southern District of Mississippi. Please see our prior article on this subject here. The response from liberty-loving Americans has been overwhelming — from Big Media, not so much. I understand their disinterest, though, because really important things like the travails of a billionaire golfer takes up so much of their time. That’s quite alright, because I would rather come directly to you to make important announcements like this: Lt. Governor Phil Bryant has entered our class action lawsuit against the PPACA as an individual, private citizen. He is serving as a Petitioner, and is the class representative for a uniquely important class: employees of the State of Mississippi.

An Open Letter To Liberals
Posted 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.
Great News For Voter ID Ballot Initiative!
Posted 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.
Fleming Health Care Reform Update
Posted by: | CommentsAs many of you know, Congressman John Fleming of Lousiana’s 4th District has had a petition circulating regarding House Resolution 615 which would required Members of Congress to Enroll in any Public Option created by Health Care Reform. Many of you have gone to his website Http://fleming.house.gov to sign the online petition and many have agreed that whatever Congress votes to do should apply as equally to them as it does to each of us.
We just received an email update from Rep. Fleming explaining the current situation with HR 615 and his ongoing efforts to fight Health Care Reform and wanted to share it with you: Read More→
