Glenn Beck just reported some of the estimates on the crowd size at his 8/28 Restoring Liberty rally:
"First was there was tens of thousands of people here. The latest I heard were two: the first at over 300,000. And the next at over 500,000. And if those are the estimates the media is giving, God only knows."
Jillian noted earlier reports that the crowd was over 500,000. The "low estimate" Beck referred to was likely the national…

Much of the MSM is horrified -- horrified! -- by the Beck rally at the Lincoln Memorial today. Well, we'll know whether they're right when we look at what the speakers have said. In the end, that's what matters . . . not how they're characterized by their political adversaries in the media and elsewhere, but by the message they spread.
And let's hope that anyone on the left who protests the site or the timing of the rally has likewise…

Dear Representative Bauer:----- I noticed that you co-sponsored a bill that would raise our gas tax by 8 cents a gallon. We don't need the Obama Bucks so bad as to have to live with all the attachments that come with the Obama Road Repair Bucks. ie sidewalks, bike paths literature on safety, etc. I am asking that you withdraw your sponsorship of the tax increase bill. Remember our taxes will be increased just by Obamacare and the Finance Bill that passes the cost of doing business to we the…

I have yet to meet anyone excited about the man named Snyder. Indeed, there is very little known about the man, and the tidbits I keep hearing is how Democrats crossed the isle to vote for him.
Has anyone heard even rumors of a write-in candidate? At this point I would be happy to write in either Peter Hoekstra, or state Attorney General…

This in from MI CapCon for Saturday 8/21/10:
Oakland County Clerk Ruth Johnson, a candidate for Michigan
Secretary of State, says she has evidence of forgery in one of the candidate
statements for the "Tea Party" political party. The supposed candidate, Aaron
Tyler of Springfield Township, has been in Phoenix, AZ, and told Johnson's
office that he did not wish to be a candidate, did not sign his name on
candidate statement paperwork, and had no idea his name was in…

Does anyone who is planning on going to the 9/12 rally have reservations set at any particular hotel/motel? If so, which one. I'm thinking of flying out to Baltimore from Grand Rapids on the 10th. Would like to meet up with fellow patriots who will be attending the rally.

Maureen Dowd: Obama Needs Bush's Help On Ground Zero Mosque
By Noel Sheppard (Bio | Archive)
Wed, 08/18/2010 - 11:06 ET
Mark August 18, 2010, on your calendar as the day New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd published a piece bashing Barack Obama and praising George W. Bush.
This comes less than 24 hours after CNN.com did exactly the same thing over the same issue.
Needless to say, Dowd's position in her column entitled "Our…

When Missouri voters attempted to stop ObamaCare at the ballot box via the initiative process, the national news media took notice. In the August 3 vote, 7 in 10 voters in the "Show Me State" supported Proposition C, which overturns government mandates requiring health insurance. Proposition C actually bars penalties against people who pay their own health bills without insurance.
On August 2, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson ruled against a U.S. Justice Department request to…

"The race card is maxed out."
That was the punch line for a recent hilarious exchange on "The Daily Show" in which Larry Wilmore, the faux news program's "senior black correspondent," reported that the race card is not only over its credit limit but is in fact "void during a black presidency." This discovery came in the wake of Maxine Waters' allegation that her political problems stem from a racially biased congressional ethics investigation.
Wilmore said he should have…

Having realized that he has, once again, exposed himself as someone fundamentally unsympathetic and out-of-touch with the most basic values and principles of the majority of Americans, the President is running for cover.
He is attempting to "clarify" what sounded a lot like support for the construction of a mosque at Ground Zero.
Mark the President down as switching his vote -- from present, to "aye", and now, back to present.
The problem for the President…

When you think of California , what comes to mind?
Beautiful beaches, San Francisco , Disneyland and Hollywood are the Golden State’s trademarks. Yet the huge land mass between San Francisco and Hollywood – that region known as the San Joaquin Valley – comprises one of the world’s most fertile, and most productive agricultural regions.
And the residents of this agricultural region believe that Barack Obama and his policies have hurt them pretty badly.
It’s a…

Barack Obama this week extended his “best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world” and wished them a “Ramadan Kareem.” And he wrote, as he did in last year’s Ramadan message also, about “the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”
Which principles do we hold in common? Death for apostates? The legitimacy of honor killing? I don’t begin to know what Obama is talking about here. Other…

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the
brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:
"This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to
gather at one time in the White House with the exception of
when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
Especially read the last quote from 1802.
When we get piled
upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as…

U.S. first lady Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha had lunch with Spain's king and queen on Sunday at the royal family's holiday retreat on the resort island of Mallorca in the Mediterranean.
Mrs. Obama and her daughter arrived at Marivent palace shortly before 1 p.m. and were greeted at the front door of the residence by King Juan Carlos, Queen Sofia and Princess Letizia.
The king, a keen yachtsman, has for decades spent August vacations at the palace with its dramatic…

Here is a link to the page on the Contract from America website where
you can sign it as an individual. Someone here may want to survey the
membership to vote on whether our Tea Party should sign on as a
sponsor. Many other Tea party organizations have already done so.
Also, 5 of our candidates for Congress in Michigan Districts have signed the pledge. They are 3rd - Justin Amash,

I was asked to share this on the website. I actually wrote this to the people on my email list.
Dear Fellow Patriots:
Once again, I write to you all with a heavy heart, but a new resolve that we will fight this fight to the bitter end. Last night as we gathered for the returns on the primaries, one of the ladies talked of a video about our first President, George Washington. As she was sharing the content of this video, she and another dear friend said "…
