Tea Party Express Statement on Rumors of Bart Stupak Retirement - Ask Scott Brown About Power of Movement
The Tea Party Express (website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org) has issued the following statement from Political Director, Bryan Shroyer, regarding the rumors of Bart Stupak's retirement:
"The surprising announcement that Congressman Bart Stupak is abandoning his campaign for re-election shows the power of the tea party movement. Stupak was not longer able to hide his betrayal of conservative principles because the tea party movement was determined to educate the voters in his district of his vote of betrayal for Obamacare.
During the past few weeks the Tea Party Expresss put together a formidable campaign to defeat Bart Stupak. Two days ago we began a $250,000 TV and radio ad blitz. For weeks we've been organizing tea party rallies specifically targeting Stupak for defeat.
"Last night in Ironwood, MI some 400+ people turned out for a rally against Stupak, which is almost 10% of the city's population. We are currently en route to Escanaba, MI where a giant rally is planned.
"People in this district are furious with Bart Stupak. He betrayed his constituents and his own principles. Those who helped him win electoral victories of more than 60% in the past were now working to defeat him.
"There has not been a similar national push in the Upper Peninsula and Northern Lower Michigan as is currently underway by the Tea Party Express. This effort is historic, and it has been possible because of the disgust voters have towards Stupak's betrayal of those he was supposed to represent.
"Just as Scott Brown was propelled to vicoty in the U.S. Senate thanks to the tea party movement, now Bart Stupak appears to have succumbed to the movement's strength as well.
"Our movement is real - it is not Astroturf, and we're not going away. November 2010, here we come!"

Urgent Georgia Health Care Legislative Alert!!! Today HB 1184 Considered!!!
URGENT HEALTH CARE LEGISLATIVE ALERT
THE PATRIOT PRESS
URGENT - HEALTH CARE LEGISLATIVE ALERT:
Tomorrow [now today...] HB 1184 will be considered on the floor of the Georgia House of Representatives. The measure was introduced by Rep. Matt Ramsey, (R-Peachtree City) and originally co-sponsored by Tom. The measure proposes to expand free market principles on behalf of Georgia consumers by allowing health insurance products sold in other states to be sold across Georgia state lines.
This is a critical measure that is supported and promoted by conservatives in Congress and in state legislatures around the country as a market driven alternative to health reform that empowers consumers.
Some highlights:
The measure stands in stark contrast to the health care reform approach that was approved in Congress on Sunday night that expands the role of government in the lives of families and small businesses more than any other piece of legislation in modern history.
The left wing special interests are working diligently to defeat the bill. Rather than allowing Georgians a range of options to find a plan that fits their individual needs-special interest groups are standing in between doctor and patient.
The Democrats want to continue the imposition of a one-size-fits all insurance policy which has led to a stifled market place and over one million uninsured in Georgia.
Given the fact that our federal government has just passed a mandate that every American buy health insurance, whether they want to or not, the least we can do is open up the free market--and ensure Georgians the freedom to choose in health care.
We need your help! The special interests are lobbying members of the House intensely and we need you to make sure the voices of conservatives are heard.
Tom Graves urges you to contact all members of the Georgia House of Representatives and urge their support of this important measure tomorrow.
THANK YOU GOVERNOR PERDUE!!!
We HIGHLY applaud Governor Sonny Perdue for his strong stance for Georgians regarding Obamacare, and we ask you to let him know we support him appointing a temporary "Special Prosecutor" to bring this lawsuit forward, since our Attorney General will not.
Please visit http://www.facebook.com/l/a2ff0;teapartypatriots.org/Default.aspx and sign our online petition to repleal the bill. We are up to 82,000. Let's make it 100,000 by the end of the weekend!
TEA PARTY CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR?
Tea Party Patriots will NOT be endorsing any candidate in the Georgia Governor's race. We have many members and opinion is divided between the candidates. We encourage our members to study the candidates, their records, and their issues for themselves.
There is NO "Tea Party Candidate for Governor" !!!

Tea Party Express: One More Favor for Me to Ask Of You...
Ryan Gill here with the Tea Party Express.
As I wrote to you previously, I am responsible for our online outreach and social networking. These mediums have proven to be a very successful tool for the tea party movement as a whole, and we here at the Tea Party Express in particular.
Let me be blunt, please, and I hope I don't come across as too pushy or harsh. But there are some realities we all have to face.
In just 3 days we kick off the "Tea Party Express III: Just Vote Them Out" tour with what will be the historic - and massive - "Showdown in Searchlight" tea party rally in Harry Reid's hometown of Searchlight, NV.
This will be the first major national tea party event since Congress thwarted the will of the people and rammed through their government-run health care monstrosity. So we have to make this a huge success. We have to show the determination and resolve of "We The People."
Success is our only option, and I know that our resolve to take our country back is now stronger-than-ever. If the politicians and media thought we were going to go away, boy were they mistaken. We just got betrayed once more, and we're more determined than ever to boot every Member of Congress who has been a vote in support of this continued 'slide towards Socialism.'
This movement began, as you will recall, with the earliest pre-Rick Santelli tea parties hosted by Ron Paul supporters and Libertarians who were mad that the Republicans in Washington had sold out their principles. By the time of the bailouts and the "throwing Free Market principles out the window" comments were made by some leading Republicans, that coalition had grown to include many conservative Republicans and Independents. We're all a diverse bunch, and we don't always agree at every step of the way. But in the areas where we do agree, our united efforts can be powerful!
We fought for policy changes to restore Constitutional principles to Washington.
We battled against Cap&Trade. We protested the continuing bailouts. We decried the government-takeover of sectors of our economy. And we organized one of the most extensive grass roots pushbacks against legislation in American history.
With a Democrat in the White House and Democrats controlling the House & Senate they were unable to pass through this legislation time-and-time again for nearly one-year, because of the pressure and heat from the tea party movement.
It was only this week that the last few sellouts relented to the pressures of the liberal establishment over the will of the people, and yes as a result, we lost a major battle on a vitally important issue.
So now we must work to defeat these politicians, who have betrayed or failed us, one-by-one. That's what this Tea Party Express III: Just Vote Them Out tour is all about. It's funny and a bit ironic for me to look back on our history in this movement. When the Tea Party Express effort first launched last year, the biggest criticism we got from some people was that we were "too political" and wanting to get involved in elections, instead of involved in the policy debates on Capitol Hill. We felt both fronts were important, and brushed off the criticism.
Well now everyone seems to agree that we have more than enough evidence, and track records and voting records of those in Congress to know who to hand a pink slip to. Having further dialogue with these majorities that are passing bailouts, the stimulus, record deficit spending bills, supporting government takeover of the economy, etc... is futile. They've heard our protests, read our letters and emails, and thrown away our FAXes. Because they've decided that their agenda is more important than our views, in spite of their roles as public servants.
They have thus failed in their duties in this profession that we, the voters, serve as employer and supervisor. And now we're going to fire these failed politicians.
So with all that said - here is my request to each of you. Please help me. Help me do my job to make sure that in these final 3 days we get the word out about "Tea Party Express III" - and the 42 tea party rallies across the country accompanied by the launching of campaigns to defeat the worst offenders such as Harry Reid and Bart Stupak.
And help me ensure that this "Showdown in Searchlight" is so big, and so powerful of a statement, that it propels even further success for us and our local organizers and supporting partners at each leg of the tour as it crosses the country.
Here's how to help. Two quick, easy steps:
1. The first event is obviously the "Showdown in Searchlight" (and the carpool from Laughlin to Searchlight before the event, and from Searchlight to Henderson after the event). So we need to get the word out in these FINAL 3 DAYS. Please make sure you've RSVP'd to the Searchlight, NV rally page on Facebook if you don't mind: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=306762704480
And then after you've RSVP'd please go to the upper-right hand portion of the event page. Under the Tea Party Express page is a link that says "Invite People to Come." Please invite all your friends on Facebook who support the tea party movement to come to this event. The more people we spread the word to, the bigger the turnout will be. If everyone pitches in, then your friends will likely help spread the word to their own network of friends, etc... all across this country. We couold have a huge impact on the crowd size for that day.
2. After the Searchlight event is over, we continue on to the other 41 rallies, including districts of a whole host of "bad" representatives in the House and Senate. So we'll need to make sure that the momentum we build off of Searchlight is carried forward to the other 41 rallies across America.
Thus my second request is rather obvious. Would you please do the same drill above for the Searchlight event, to anyone you can for the national "Tea Party Express III" tour? That event page to link to, to RSVP to, and to Invite Others to Come, is: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=230814665785
Thank you all for reading my plea for help. And thank you for caring enough to be involved in trying to make a difference. That what makes a movement like this so successful. The passions of the people in this movement are authentic. Nancy Pelosi, the liberal news media and others initially tried to dismiss the tea party movement by suggesting it was manufactured.
They tried to make the culprit Rush Limbaugh. Or the GOP. Or Glenn Beck. And on, and on... they called us "Astroturf."
Well, we're still here, in larger numbers than ever before, and we're going to vote you out of office to convince you once and for all how authentic, and large in size and popular support, this tea party movement really is!
-Ryan Gill, Tea Party Express
P.S. As of today you can still get on a charter bus heading to Searchlight because more groups are still finding buses available at the last minute, and our team is working to match up requests for a bus seat (from people like you) with local organizers who still have room on a bus. To get a seat on one of the buses heading to Searchlight, send your name, city & state in an email: CharterBus.tpx@gmail.com
As I wrote to you previously, I am responsible for our online outreach and social networking. These mediums have proven to be a very successful tool for the tea party movement as a whole, and we here at the Tea Party Express in particular.

Thank you all for reading my plea for help. And thank you for caring enough to be involved in trying to make a difference. That what makes a movement like this so successful. The passions of the people in this movement are authentic. Nancy Pelosi, the liberal news media and others initially tried to dismiss the tea party movement by suggesting it was manufactured.
They tried to make the culprit Rush Limbaugh. Or the GOP. Or Glenn Beck. And on, and on... they called us "Astroturf."
Well, we're still here, in larger numbers than ever before, and we're going to vote you out of office to convince you once and for all how authentic, and large in size and popular support, this tea party movement really is!
-Ryan Gill, Tea Party Express
P.S. As of today you can still get on a charter bus heading to Searchlight because more groups are still finding buses available at the last minute, and our team is working to match up requests for a bus seat (from people like you) with local organizers who still have room on a bus. To get a seat on one of the buses heading to Searchlight, send your name, city & state in an email: CharterBus.tpx@gmail.com

Rome / Floyd GA Tea Party to Show Tea Party the Documentary film tonight
Remember ...tonight's TEA Party....join us.
Remember, please join your friends and family tonight at MB's Village Theater to see TEA Party The Documentary Film. Join this inspiring and informative event and learn more about how the tea party developed, the principles of the tea party, where the tea party is going, and how you can get involved to take our nation back.
It might also become clearer as to why Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid's approval ratings are 11% and 8% respectively, and why Barrack Obama's approval rating is in a downward spiral to only about 40% approval (51% disapproval).
See you tonight.

Since so many like movies, you will surely appreciate this very well made chronicle of the TEA Party Movement as it emerged on the national, political scene in 2009. This film shows the involvement of American citizens from many different backgrounds as they educated themselves, united, organized, and ultimately descended on Washington, DC for the national TEA Party protest of 2009. This film also puts to rest any misconception about the TEA Party Movement being a racist response to Barack Hussein Obama’s presidency. At the movie’s conclusion, we will speak briefly about front burner political issues, the schedule for other TEA Party events in Atlanta, how to stay connected to local happenings, and the date and time of our next local event. Concessions will be available.
Please roll up your sleeves and get involved with this movement by learning what is going on, staying informed, determining what office holders you agree the most with, and voting for them and encouraging as many other like-minded citizens as possible to do the same.

Georgia's Freedom of Choice in Health Care Bill Passes Senate
Georgia Senator Judson Hill was joined by 29 other Senate Republicans last Thursday passing legislation protecting Georgians' rights to choose their own health care. Senator Hill authored Senate Bill 317 and has been working the past year to prohibit any government, state or federal, from forcing its citizens
to participate in any health care system.
Under Senate Bill 317 Georgia's citizens would be protected from being forced by the government to purchase health care. Existing private and government programs would not be affected by this legislation. Hill noted on the Senate floor that this measure prohibits any government from punishing an individual or business that does not participate in health plans, as well as protects health care providers from being forced to perform mandated medical procedures.
"Each person should have the right to participate in private health care, government health care, or exercise their right not to participate any health care at all," said Senator Hill. This bill simply protects those basic rights of choice that we all enjoy today."
On Wednesday, Senator Hill's Senate Resolution that would protect one's freedom to choose their own health care was blocked by Senate Democrats. Senate Resolution 794 would have allowed Georgia citizens to vote in November on adding a Constitutional Amendment to the state Constitution blocking any mandatory requirements for Georgians to buy health insurance. On Thursday, the Georgia Senate voted to keep SR 794 alive by voting to reconsider and sent it back to the Senate Rules Committee.
"While I would have preferred to let Georgians vote in November to change the State Constitution, my Senate Bill 317 which passed by Senate Republicans yesterday will still protect Georgians' right to choose the health care they want," said Senator Hill.
SB 317 now heads to the Georgia House of Representatives for consideration. Please call your State Representative and them to support this important legislation that protects your rights. If this legislation passes the House Georgia will become the 4th state to pass similar legislation.
A message from Asst Natl Dir Mellie to all members of Georgia's 7th congressional district on Patriotic Resistance!

Healthcare Bill Looms / Operation Urgent Care: People's Surge on D.C.
Don't stop believing in the power of the American people! The effort must continue to be made to stop Congress from changing our way of life in this country forever! The legislation, just released this morning, can be read here. But read fast, as there are only 72 hours between the time it was released and the vote takes place after the final CBO numbers come in.
What can we do now? If you can go to Washington, D.C. to protest on Saturday, GO! If you can't go but have access to 'Buddy Passes', give them to someone who will go or call us at 404 376 4942 so we can coordinate with others that may be able to go.
Operation Urgent Care: People's Surge on D.C.
We are calling on all patriots to converge on Washington, DC on Saturday, March 20th at 10 AM on the East Lawn of the Capitol.
Keeping constant pressure on the Members of Congress who are trying to seize your healthcare is the only way to stop this dangerous bill from passing.
It's your hard work that has kept America free from government-run healthcare and Tea Party Patriots going. But we need your support now more than ever.
If you can't go, CALL! These Georgia Congressmen have been identified as possibly voting 'no'.
And if you can, go to their offices personally.
