When I think of a Patriot, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin come to mind. How could I even consider myself a Patriot? In reviewing my American history I remembered:

The Patriots of 1776 believed:

* in Natural Law which was based on God’s Laws and used these laws to build the Constitution

*in limited government

*in protecting the family and the institution of marriage

*in self-preservation

*in justice by reparation

*in the right to bear arms

*in no taxation without representation

*all men are created equal

*in “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”

*those representing “the People” work for the people

As I read through these, I realize that I believe the same things, so I will consider myself a Patriot.  I may not be in the same league, but I believe just as strongly.   The difference is they were Patriots of the structuring of a brand new country bound for glory.   I am a Tea Party Patriot working to bring back to focus the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and Natural Law in order to protect the country the 1776 Patriots envisioned.  The San Antonio Tea Party is a group of people of all races and professions who are nonpartisan, peaceful, well-organized, and intelligent .  If you believe as the Patriots, come work with us .   It just might relieve your frustration and help you have your voice heard.

Why should our taxes go to people buying cars.   THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION THAT REMOTELY APPROVES THIS!!!!!

Call your senator TODAY and demand that they vote NO!   If you want a car spend your own money on it!
