The Tea Party Movement is an intriguing multicultural, nonpartison wave of momentum in our Country that is building with Americans passion for reignition of Patriotism. Americans willing to make a stand for our Country, some "no matter what" the cost is, to preserve our Constitutional inheritance for our children and their children. Patriotism a profound word with a deep shadow in history (as we all have been studying hard for the last few months) has been lost over the years in the "socially correct agenda of the Socialistic minded politicians" in the hopes of "whitewashing" the people with the idea that "the Government knows what is best for them,...don't worry...just be a puppet on our string". Ha!! Think again! There is a new current paralleling that of the original Patriots of the 1770's-1780's arising and just like then, we won't shut up! It is exciting to see that not all have bought into this concept, and that across the country Americans are demanding that their voices be heard! Americans are blooming in Patriotism and it is beautiful! There are parts of the Constitution that are very threatened and there have been parts that have been ripped out. However,with leaders who are willing to uphold the Constitution and make a stand on what the Founding Fathers and soldiers sacrificed for, we can and will uphold the Constitution. This still is, though strained indeed,a government for the people by the people and we are "taking our country back!" Let Freedom Ring ...not oppression and socialism.
The parallel here is, that now, just as then, people are gathering in all sorts of grassroot places in cities and towns, churches and markets, fields and barns across our great Country and talking about the "Intolerable Acts"of the government and how our voices need to be heard and what we need to do about it. It is sad and disheartening to see these same issues arise again in our history of just 234 years, is it because we didn't guard our liberties as the Founding Fathers' warned us to? There are still Americans standing in the courageous, enduring shadow of our Founding Partiots. Are you making a stand? Is your voice being heard?

I agree that it is wonderful to see people rise up and take notice of what is going on in the country. We need to make our voices heard. This week I had my fifth graders write to Senator Hatch. They had to introduce themselves, tell him something that they had learned about our government this year, and tell them about a current event that we had read in the newspaper during the past week that they were concerned about. Many wrote about their excitement in viewing the State Capitol on our field trip on Monday to SLC where they were able to see where all three branches of the government worked. (although the courtroom there is no longer used). It was wonderful that they view a geographical place to associate with each branch of government that they had learned about. It was also a good experience for them to know that they could express their views about current issues to their elected representative in Congress. I hope that at least some of them remember and become informed, participating adults in our democratic system.

ReplyDeleteI am not sure what you are talking about. What government are you talking about??
Funny, Steve.Thanks for your thoughts on the "tea party" activities and thoughts about our government. We are at a critical juncture in history right now. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
