Yesterday Jerry Titus of Indiana Honest Money was being interviewed by a local documentary team. Security approached them and said that they were not allowed to conduct an interview without press badges. How is that freedom? This is coming straight out of the worst part of the republican party. Patriots need to infiltrate their future events and educate, educate, educate! We've got problems when within a 24 hour period there are two incidents of the organizers failing to protect both free speech and free press.M Theoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892309818226431745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653696781072365821.post-17876483379353456092009-04-16T04:42:00.000-07:002009-04-16T04:42:00.000-07:00I also tend to agree with what Kermit Wrote both s...I also tend to agree with what Kermit Wrote both sides are the issue here not just Obama and the DEMS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653696781072365821.post-3769202790201738272009-04-16T04:40:00.000-07:002009-04-16T04:40:00.000-07:00This type of "infighting" is exactly why we have t...This type of "infighting" is exactly why we have the current state of government we have. <br />Build a bridge and get over it.

Most of the rhetoric was "us" vs. "them" with the "them" being "Democrats, er...liberals" as Garrison put it. If you were at the event did you take a good look around at the people in attendance? I was standing beneath the Jefferson monument and everyone around me was white. But when I got on route 39 to ride back to my apartment I was the only white person on the bus. Seemed a bit disproportionate for the usual downtown Indy crowd. Who is "them"?<br /><br />I believe the turn out would've been much greater had this type of seperatist mentality been avoided and the issue of taxation been seen as a rallying issue for All Americans (had to wait for Thomas Paine to get to that idea). I know many "liberals" on my college campus opposed the bailout legislation and yet chose not to come because of the partisan rhetoric (did all the anti-Obama sign holders forget that he was not in the white house when this legislation passed) Oh, and I guess "us" consists of Christians and Jews according to Garrison. If you're Muslim, Bhuddist, Wiccan or Atheist, then you're "them" as well. <br /><br />And, btw, I support grassroots local movements. <br /><br />And My name is Kermet Key.

I even promoted it right here, didn't I? Did you see me say anything contrary to the message they wanted to project? <br /><br />I wasn't planning to say a peep on my blogs until after the tea party. <br /><br />The very 1st Amendment defends free speech and free press. Today, mine was stomped upon, although I said nothing in Laura's group or here either. <br /><br />My right to speak was banned simply for stating an opinion in ANOTHER group after that group's moderator wrote to Laura. I have friends in the JBS group...patriots who helped with the Revolt. That's why I said what I did THERE. I know the newbies aren't ready to wrap their heads around it all yet. <br /><br />Laura was quick to judge me and squelch my voice, although I've offered all I could to them. <br /><br />Let's not just say we defend Liberty. Let's really do it. Otherwise, we become the hypocrites we fight.M Theoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892309818226431745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653696781072365821.post-44648445724981063602009-04-14T20:18:00.000-07:002009-04-14T20:18:00.000-07:00Nothing else...you just proved my point.

You shouldn't fear me. I am a citizen that cares for freedom and am focusing it on the federal level...ie, the Federal Government should get out of the affairs the constitution does not give it the specific duty to do so.

Unfortunately, that was all the time I had to give. <br /><br />I also bought this domain and set up this site and promoted the Indiana Tea Party movement. This site got more than 500 unique readers yesterday and the same today. <br /><br />I also gave the keys to the Behney's to post anything they wanted on this site when the national site got hacked. This fact is documented in the archives here and in my personal emails to them. <br /><br />I did not say I wanted the tea party to be about local politics. Never did. I said people attending need to focus activism on local issues, because they have real ability to control from their back yards. <br /><br />I'd also like to point out, that I did not ban your dissenting opinion of my work.

This IS a grassroots effort because i can tell you that I have not been involved with ANYTHING in the Republican party and have had ZERO contact with the GOP/RNC or any other party for this Tax Day Tea Party.<br /><br />The first sign to anyone that reads this blog is Ms. Melyssa says the MSM is 'encouraging' this effort? ARE YOU SERIOUS? The MSM is calling the organizers of these tea parties 'white supremicists and hate-filled bigots." Just ask Rachel Madow. And ANYONE who says that we cannot change the government in D.C. is a PART OF THE PROBLEM! It is people like Melyssa who have the agenda and if everyone she talks to doesn't cow-tow to her demands, then they are "banned" from events. She was not banned, she was just told that all of the 'speaking' spots are full...which they are. And we also, unlike Melyssa's protest, are keeping our protest SPECIFIC to one issue...STOP SPENDING...REPEAL THE 'STIMULUS' package or we will repeal each members employment in Congress. Melyssa, wanting to redeem herself from a VERY disorganized "Revolt at the Statehouse," has decided to try to sabotage our event in the hope of portraying us as Republican hacks. If you would have sat at a meeting with us, Melyssa, you would know that we are just as mad at Republicans as we are at Democrats. This is not about party, it is about liberty. Just look at the coverage of the Revolt at the Statehouse. There were about 100 people with 12 different messages...that does not make for a very productive protest. Heck, the media was even distraught because they couldn't figure out how to cover the numerous messages out of it.<br /><br />For you, ma'am, to say that we are a part of a top-down movement from places on high is an absolute lie, and you know it. Laura Behney and EVERY SINGLE VOLUNTEER, YES, VOLUNTEER, is here because we are sick and tired of our federal government trampling on our freedom and we are no longer going to be silent. We are not a part of a group of agitators that are paid by a certain party to show up at every protest. We are small business owners, stay-at-home moms, retirees, students, and plain old citizens.<br /><br />Next time you decide to slander people, you may want to get your facts straight. I beg of you to PROVE your accusations. You and I both know you cannot. Too bad people like you are too narcissistic to see the true value of an event like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653696781072365821.post-51694225187268589022009-04-14T19:29:00.000-07:002009-04-14T19:29:00.000-07:00Exactly how are you "banned"?
