"It is a wise rule and should be fundamental in a government disposed to cherish its credit, and at the same time to restrain the use of it within the limits of its faculties, 'never to borrow a dollar without laying a tax in the same instant for paying the interest annually, and the principal within a given term; and to consider that tax as pledged to the creditors on the public faith.'" --Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Wayles Eppes, 1813

Does The New ‘White House Rural Council’ = UN’s Agenda 21?
(Quoted from The Blaze)

On June 9, 2011, President Obama signed his 86th Executive Order, and almost nobody noticed.

President Obama’s E.O. 13575 is designed to begin taking control over almost all aspects of the lives of 16% of the American people. Why didn’t we notice it? Weinergate. In the middle of the Anthony Weiner scandal, as the press and most of the American people were distracted, President Obama created something called “The White House Rural Council” (WHRC)...

...Warning bells should have been sounding all across rural America when the phrase “sustainable rural communities” came up. As we know from researching the UN plan for Sustainable Development known as Agenda 21, these are code words for the true fundamental transformation America...

What's happening with Agenda 21 in your local and state government?  It's time we take notice what unelected bureaucrats and the elite are planning for the people and demand our local and state leaders to stop top down centralized planning.  Here are a couple more articles on Agenda 21.

Senate Plans to Abdicate its Confirmation Duties
(Quoted from Red State)

In recent years, the job of United States Senator has evidently been added to the list of ‘jobs that Americans won’t do.’ Harry Reid’s Senate has categorically shirked its core constitutional responsibility by refusing to pass a budget for over two years. Concurrently, the Senate has been preoccupied with feckless, unconstitutional legislation that fails to deal with any of the paramount public policy problems facing the nation.

Today, Chuck Schumer, with the help of Mitch McConnell and Lamar Alexander, plans to vitiate one of the Senate’s few remaining constitutional duties; advising and consenting to presidential appointees. The Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act (S.679), which was never reported out of a committee, would eliminate the confirmation requirement for 200 presidential appointees. This bill would completely abrogate the safeguards against tyranny that were established in the “Appointments Clause” of the constitution.

Let's contact our US Senators and let them know we stand on their Constitutional responsibilities in regard to maintaining the checks and balances between the Executive and the Legislative branches.


Marietta Independence Day Parade
July 4th, 2011

It is so important for us to "show our colors" every once in a while. Many have asked what they can do to help the Tea Party and this is one of the things you can do! We are once again marching in the Marietta 4th of July parade on Monday the 4th. If you or your family or friends want to participate with us and support our ideals of fiscal responsibility and Constitutionally limited government, please sign up and enter number of people in your party at this link. We will provide more info by e-mail to those interested.

Parade starts at 10am and we will meet up at about 8:30 or 9 at our assigned place (we don't know where that is yet!). Last year we were one of the largest groups and the only one to get applause all along the street!


Come join us, support a great cause, and have fun!


Georgia Tea Party Shirts

We are placing a special order for polo shirts, long sleeve dress shirts and long sleeve denim shirts with the embroidered Georgia Tea Party logo. We're also placing an order for screen printed logo t-shirts in custom colors.  If you'd like to order a screen printed custom t-shirt in a color like red or blue for wearing in the parade, or other colors for your wardrobe, please try to attend Thursday night's meeting.    We will have sample colors and styles at the meeting.  We have a minimum order that needs to be met in order to get the t-shirts produced. 

We need your order and payment by June 24th to get the t-shirts produced by July 4th for the parade. 

 

Yours in liberty,

The Georgia Tea Party
