Let's Increase Our Numbers
2012 is
going to be a battle for the soul of the Republic. It
will not be just a struggle between Right vs. Left or,
Republican vs. Democrat. Rather, it will be a struggle
between liberty and tyranny. We are nearly at 50% of
the population that is DEPENDENT on the government.
We are on a path toward Socialism and crony Capitalism.
If we don't turn the tide in 2012 toward liberty, corruption
and special interests will gain an insurmountable foothold.
From the local to state and federal, we all need to be
engaged in the process of self-government. We need to
educate and encourage our family, friends, and neighbors to
be involved before it's too late. The Tea Party is a
movement of the people, for the people and by the people.
It's based on fiscal responsibility, genuine free markets
and individual liberty as enshrined in our founding
documents, the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and
Bill of Rights.
Forward this email to your family, friends and neighbors and
ask them to join the Tea Party Movement. Have them
signup for our email notifications so that they can be
informed of current issues and events. As a thank you,
when they signup for the newsletter, they will be able to
download the following two documents:
COMMON SENSE: Revisited explains why there is
a groundswell of people beginning to return to our founding
principles and how this return can help us solve the many
problems that face our country. It is a pamphlet written to
transform hearts and minds.
THE LAW written by Frederic Bastiat is an
essay on economics and individual liberty. Its sound logic
is just as relevant today as it was when first published in
1850.
To get both of these, join the mailing list at the link
below.
We appreciate your
donations as well.
Thanks for supporting
the Georgia Tea Party.
Yours in liberty,
The Georgia Tea
Party
