Americans For Prosperity - Cobb Chapter hosts: "Making The Grade In GA: Educational Freedom and Justice for All"

This week, the Americans for Prosperity - Cobb Chapter will host the film "Making The Grade In GA: Educational Freedom and Justice for All" joined by 5 large satellite viewing locations and a hundred more home viewing parties around the state! The issue and the need for more school choice in Georgia has never been more clear.

Today, our college graduates face the highest unemployment rates in history.
American 15-year-olds rank 35th out of 57 industrialized countries in math and literacy.
Americans shouldn’t rank 35th in anything!

We'll get updates from our various task forces:  Gold Dome Team with a report on state legislative news; the Federal Task Force; as the County Watch program.  


If you've been putting off getting involved, now is the time to get engaged.  As always, our meetings are open to ALL who seek to learn the principles and spirit of individual liberty and constitutionally limited self government.  Please feel free to forward this email and invite your friends.

Yours in liberty,

The Georgia Tea Party

Time: 9 am - 2:30pm
Location:
Double Tree Hotel - Marietta
                    2055 S. Park Place, Atlanta
, GA 30339

 

Sustainable development may sound like a responsible avenue to travel, but dig deeper and you'll find that's not the case.

Join Tom DeWeese, a top Agenda 21 expert, for a presentation that will reveal the true intentions of those publishing sustainable development through the United Nations' Agenda 21.

You will learn how Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development) negatively affects your property rights, family, community and YOUR FREEDOMS. And how to explain it to your friends and neighbors. You will also learn that a number of mainstream conservative think tanks like the Heritage Foundation have studied and written about Agenda 21.

Tom DeWeese is one of the nation's leading advocates of individual liberty, free enterprise, private property rights, personal privacy, back-to-basics education and American sovereignty and independence. He is the Founder and President of the American Policy Center.

Mr. DeWeese will reveal the true intentions of those pushing sustainable development through the United Nations' Agenda 21. The seminar will not only inform you about the UN’s Agenda 21, MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU WILL LEARN WHAT YOU CAN DO TO STOP IT!

Seating is LIMITED. Please order your ticket early. Tickets are $19.00 (includes lunch) until 1/21/2012, $25.00 thereafter. To purchase tickets, visit www.nfultonteaparty.com . Follow the PayPal link.
