Welcome To The American Renagade!

Hello!   And Welcome to The American Renagade! 

This is just going to be a place for me to give you some insight to my views of the way things are taking place in America and the world today.  I am just an American Girl…who is Proud of this country, but sadden to see the turns it is taking.   I am a staunch supporter of our Troops, being the daughter of a WWII vet, the wife of a Vietnam vet, the “adopted Mom” to an Air Force vet, and the Aunt to one who is in Iraq now.   I am also a 912er, who believes in the 9 Principles and 12 values that our country needs to start standing for and on again.

Well…..now you know where I stand and what to expect here.  You may not always agree with me….nor I with you….but thank God we live in an country where we can still voice our opinion……for now anyway.

More to come…… Renagade

America Is Having Another Tea Party…And YOU Are Invited!

 

There has been an ongoing discussion at my house over the Tea Parties that have been springing up all over the country. The discussion has been about just how relevant are they and what will they accomplish. Like the first Tea Party…they hold a symbolic meaning…but unlike the first Tea Party, they do not have the economic impact that it did.

As everyone (I hope) knows, the first Tea Party was the beginning of what truly formed the USA. It was a blow to England economically, due to the taxes on the Tea was a big part of their monetary hold on the colonies. BUT, the Tea Party was also the colonists way of sending the clear message: Taxation Without Representation will NOT be tolerated.

Now the Tea Parties of today are NOT having the same Economic impact. BUT the symbolic impact is the same. To use a more “modern” phrase… “We are Mad As Hell, And Are Not Taking It Anymore!”

 

Will Washington take notice??? To be honest…who knows? But only through public awareness and joining together will the Tea Parties and the 912 project movement rattle them. If you live close enough to join into one…do so! If not, maybe start one in YOUR town. You can also show your support to the cause by writing blogs, word of mouth, writing letters to your newspaper, Congressmen and Senators, Watching Glenn Beck on Fox News (Awesome!), or checking out Glenn Beck’s site and signing up for his newsletter, and joining in on conversations on the vast network of supporter websites, such as The-912-Project.com. You can even show the world you Support the Tea Parties and The 912 Project with customized tea party event T-Shirts from United T-Shirts.com . (Great way to go to your Tea Party Event in Style!)

 

There is so many ways YOU can send that message….so get going, check out the sites, and remember….one voice may not be heard….but a chorus of thousands of voices will be….. You are NOT alone.
