My heart was truly touched as I watched the Glenn Beck Show from the Alamo. Words cannot describe how I felt inside. As the Lord once said to Elijah, "Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed." (I Kings 19:18)
The most touching part of the show was when the lady told the story of William Travis. Legends says that he took his sword and drew a line in the sand. He told the men no help would be coming, and they would be killed. Those who crossed that line would be willing to fight and die for the sake of freedom. All but one man crossed the line.
In the last few weeks my eyes have been opened, just as the Lord opened the eyes of Elijah. Good people are still around. We still have good people who are willing to make a stand for freedom. Just like the men at the Alamo.
Also in the last few weeks I have realized there are two types of people in America, politically speaking. One group believes in human leadership, and they have faith in partisan politics. This applies to both Democrats and Republicans. The other group believes in the Constitution. No one man has the answers to solve every problem. It takes people coming together to form a government where personal freedom is important. Our Founding Fathers belonged to the latter group.
More on this subject will be coming soon.

And I am very glad that we are finally done with eight years of a president who had no respect for it.
Also you prove my point of someome who follows a person, and you believe in a prtisan leadership.
I will never, ever submit that politics are more important than people.

Thnaks for sharing
When I first started out for the TEA party I wasn't sure how it would be. Didn't know if I'd meet 2 or 20 people. Didn't even know if I'd stay. When I got there the space was empty but for about 20 people already .. a good turn out since it wasn't even start time.
People kept arriving, through the first speaker, through the second speaker, through the third speaker, and even during the last speaker's address. I'd turn around or take a cruise around the perimeter and there were still groups of people in lines of 3 then 2 more then 5 --- from all directions. Even past the time when the last speaker spoke. People came. Good people.
All kinds of people, black - white - brown . . . young and old; all happily and seriously taking a stand for the U.S. and against the dubiousness of the new Admin's change
"In the last few weeks my eyes have been opened, just as the Lord opened the eyes of Elijah. Good people are still around. We still have good people who are willing to make a stand for freedom. Just like the men at the Alamo."
Unfortunately, it is only my husband and myself here, as my neighbors are all liberals and I don't currently have a group to fellowship with (I avoid most organized "religion").
Does anyone know more about the "GIVE" act that Sandy A. mentioned? I will have to see if anyone posted anything about it on the 912 Project site.
Too paranoid to leave my comments up here?
That tea party was an ill-informed witch hunt when the cause of all this country's woes is Bush, not Obama, he inherited it. no one I know got thier taxes raised and if you did why are you all scrambling for points on Gather?!

Obama ... um ... well, he was less than truthful when he did that.
Since on and /or before 2001 - and forward? he has bemoaned the "essential constraints" to government power found in the Constitution. And has on occasion entertained ways of getting around those "essential constraints."
A Constitutional scholar? I think so.
A Defender of that same Constitution?
I do not think so.
Breaking Free from the Constitution
"Mr. Obama’s comments take a turn from discussing the historical record. Unprovoked he laments that the Supreme Court “could not break free from the essential constraints placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution.” He further describes the Constitution as “a charter of negative liberties.” This is at odds with the preamble to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights."
I'm definitely a believer in the Constitution.
And I am very glad that we are finally done with eight years of a president who had no respect for it.

Here in Cincinnati, we were surprised to get over 4,000 (for our second rally - the first had 5,000+) in the middle of the day. What a sight we were marching down the middle of the street - with a parade permit - to City Hall with a petition asking them not to accept any stimulus money.
Only advice I can give right now is best effective way to have more readers/viewers is when you send out a mailing about your piece, please have a clickable link. It makes things easier. Sorry, just trying to be helpful. :o)
Wish I had been there and I live in the Alamo city!
