Volunteer Meeting

Hello Patriot Friends,

This weeks meeting Volunteer Meeting will be held:

Date: January 12th, 2012
Time: 6:45 pm
Location: 900 Roswell Street, Marietta, GA
(Old Chevy car dealership building to the east of Roswell St. Baptist Church)

SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER: Tony Orta

Mr. Orta is Vice President of the Executive Committee of the Pickens County Republican Party. He is a a naturalized American of Cuban descent. He came to the United States at the age of 16, not because he wanted to but to escape the Castro regime. He knew no one, little English and was in a strange land but he managed to make the best of the situation because of the opportunities America offers to anyone who is willing to work and strive to succeed. He has held CEO positions with major companies and has his B.A. and Doctorate in Business from the University of Georgia. His Masters degree was obtained in Switzerland. Tony said, "Since this regime was elected, and since it is almost a facsimile of the actions I saw taken in my native Cuba, and since I once lost a country to this ideology, I could not sit by and watch my country be lost. So, I have been quite active speaking when I can and trying to persuade when I can." He has been a guest speaker at the many tea party events/meetings, including Gilmer, Pickens, Dawson, Fannin, Cherokee, and Canton.

We'll be hearing 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.
