Muskogee Tea Party patriots,
It’s been a long time since I’ve updated you; time certainly can fly by! I needed to inform you about several different items (some more urgent than others) regarding our group.
1. Tax Day Tea Party?
Some people think that the Tea Party should move on from the “old” public rally type of event, and more to an education (i.e. educating ourselves and the public on more in-depth issues, such as fiscal policies constitutional studies, historical perspectives on government, documents that shaped political movements and beliefs, etc) and “intervention” stage (i.e. direct lobbying of elected officials through phone calls, in-person lobbying, stuff of that nature). I’ve been busy with work lately, and have failed to make plans for an actual Tea Party event on the 15th; however, we still can do something on the 15th if our members want to. So, I’m asking for your input – do we want to do a Tax Day Tea Party rally again this April 15th, like we have for the past two years? I do have an event planned for later in the month, which leads me to….
2. Muskogee County Republicans & Conservatives Club inaugural meeting
We’re co-hosting (with the Muskogee GOP) the first Republicans & Conservatives Club meeting in Muskogee County on April 21st, in Muskogee. This club used to be catered specifically to Republicans, but is now being opened to conservatives, regardless of party affiliation. I encourage you to consider attending, to show support for the conservative cause that the Tea Party and many Republicans hold dear. The meeting will start at 7:00pm on Thursday, the 21st, and will be held at the offices of the Muskogee County Farm Bureau (28 E. Shawnee Rd, Muskogee; map), located in the shopping area that holds K-Mart and I’m A Basket Case. More information will be coming about the scheduled speakers. That leads me to another event on April 21st…
3. April 21st ‘Flash Mob of Kindness’
Prompted by something Glenn Beck mentioned on his TV show, Suzie Buck (one of our members) has decided to head up a Flash Mob of Kindness event on Thursday, April 21st. The general idea is to set aside politics, and deliver food to people in need, such as at the unemployment office, homeless shelters, etcetera. Just hand them some groceries or canned goods, say a quick prayer with them or ‘God bless you’, and leave. If you are interested in participating, please email Suzie Buck at bucksuzie@yahoo.com.
4. 2011 Memberships
Pursuant to a vote by our group last year, the membership dues for 2011 are $50 per person. Last fall, in the span of just a few months, we were able to raise well over $1,000, and spent $500 on electioneering activities (either directly to candidates, or running ads on behalf of candidates). Currently, we have about $1200 in the bank – a good sum, but we need to keep growing it! That’s where our memberships come into play. For $50, you can become an official voting member of our Political Action Committee (PAC), and contribute to our “warchest” for 2012. As important as the 2010 election was, 2012 will be even more so. Find out more on how to become a member at this link. Also at that link, you can print of a form to send in with your check, or you can donate online.
5. HUGE announcement coming soon!
I’ll conclude this email with a tease — sometime soon, we will be making a VERY BIG announcement regarding the Muskogee Tea Party and the 2012 presidential race, and how our group will be playing a role that will literally have a nation-wide effect! Stay tuned for more information!
With you for the future of our Constitutional republic,
Jamison Faught
Chairman, Muskogee Tea Party PAC
