On the evening of December 16, 1773, three companies of fifty men each, masquerading as Mohawk Indians, passed through a tremendous crowd of spectators, went aboard the three ships, broke open the tea chests, and heaved them into the harbor. As the electrifying news of the Boston "tea party" spread, other seaports followed the example and staged similar acts of resistance of their own. Eventually the movement for freedom and liberty expanded with the colonists declaring their independence from England in 1776.

It has become apparent to most Americans that our elected representatives in Congress, just like the British Parliament of the 1760's and 1770's, are no longer representing the interests of the American people. Our congress routinely passes legislation that benefits a wide variety of special interest groups at the expense of the average American citizen and taxpayer. Through the use of special interest bribes, also called campaign contributions, America now has the best congress that money can buy. Our government is now as corrupt as any banana republic or communist government in history.

American taxpayers are seeing their taxes go up at every level of government, oftentimes for services and programs that they do not benefit from, nor approve of. Our local government and school taxes are rising at a rate far exceeding any increases in our incomes. The U.S. congress and the Federal Reserve are printing fiat money (backed by nothing) as fast as the printing presses can print it and the American taxpayers are starting to get angry about the increasing burden of taxation placed upon them and they have every right to be angry.

The American taxpayers who live up to their responsibilities and who work hard (often holding two jobs) to pay their bills with less take-home money are:

1.                  paying for ongoing failed social engineering experiments in housing and education,

2.                  paying for the funding of anti-American, socialist organizations like LaRaza and   ACORN,

3.                  paying for a variety of services provided to 15 million +/- illegal aliens,

4.                  paying for the bailout of large international banks, Wall Street Firms and the auto industry

5.                  paying for the bailout of real estate investors and people who are unable or unwilling to be responsible adults and who fail to pay their own bills, including their mortgages.

Many American citizens, particularly those who pay taxes, are frustrated by a government that no longer represents them, but rather represents the interests of an oligarchy of political and financial elites, as well as special interest groups, who exert unconstitutional and illegal control over our government and economy for their personal gain.

The members of this ruling elite are not loyal Americans who have the best interests of the county in mind, but rather they are traitorous individuals who are loyal to no country but who benefit financially or politically by keeping our country in a constant state of war, by dumbing down our education system, by devaluating our currency, by separating us into categories by race and ethnic origin, by drugging 6 million of children with mind altering drugs, by flooding our country with illegal aliens, by and by chipping away at our nation's sovereignty, freedoms and liberties.

I believe that Americans are fast approaching a point of frustration and anger with their own government similar to what the American colonists reached in the 1770’s. Americans want to take their country and government back from the corrupt political and financial elites who control it. The massive attendance by average American citizens at the Tea Party Rallies across the country in April of 2009 was a sign that the people have had enough. Just like the original Boston Tea Party and those that followed, the Tea Parties of 2009 will someday be seen as the beginning of the Second American Revolution. Although the Tea Parties of 2009 were an important first step, there is much more work to be done.

Americans must now put aside all of our minor differences that have separated us in the past and unite as one strong political force. We must become united by our major common goals and not divided by our minor differences. We must become active in politics and support only those candidates that are honest, ethical, of good moral character, who take no special interest money and who support smaller, less intrusive federal, state and local governments.

Together, freedom loving American citizens must begin the journey that will leave future generations of Americans a legacy of individual freedom and liberty, a first class education system, a clean environment, a strong and sovereign America with an honest, limited government that will offer unlimited opportunities for their future. If we stand together and are willing to fight for our freedoms and liberties as the original American colonists did, we can give it to them.
