Raising Taxes Could Lead You to Heaven

There was a meeting on Thursday night in Marlboro, where State Representative, James Eldridge told those gathered, or tried anyway, why it would be a good idea to pay more taxes. I could not attend but I have heard from those who have and evidently members of the local tea party groups were there and represented themselves and the Tea Party movement well.

The Devil Made me Do It

We've been called all sorts of things. Racist. Bigots. Morons. Terrorists. Trailer Trash.And now......Satan Worshipers. Could I make this stuff up? It says so right here in the newspaper from jolly old England. You know the same place where are forefathers kicked some ass a couple hundred years ago.

April 20th Meeting

We held our monthly meeting last night at our new venue, Art's Variety on South Street in Southbridge. Both Jane and I want to thank the Gaudreaus for volunteering the use of their business, it was a great venue for us. So if you are anywhere near there stop in and buy something damn it!

As far as the meeting went, we had a good meeting. Peter Durant came in and briefed us on how his campaign is going, and no, we do not support candidates. Also Mike Jaynes the leader of the Republican Town Committee in Southbridge was there (okay, I think he is the chairmen) and he is looking for people to help at the polls in Southbridge on May 10. These positions are poll workers as opposed to poll watchers. You will help out with the checking and counting and all that good stuff. And you will get paid besides.

You do not have to live in the district or Southbridge, but you do have to be a registered Republican. Please email mike at mikejaynes@charter.net if you can do it, you will need to be there all day. Did I mention you will be paid? I wonder...is this an SEIU position?

We also discussed the infamous billboard, and another Mike, (whose last name escapes me since I am terrible at names) had a rather nice list of all the Hispanic residents which are NOT near the billboard. Keep your eyes on the Southbridge News as your truly has another letter about the billboard on the way.

Was This The Spark

It seems that I may have started a little problem this week. You see I wrote a letter to the local paper about the whole "Showing ID to Vote" issue over in Southbridge and how it seems to have ruffled some feathers. this is all part of the whole Alicea - Durant special election where there are some who think there have been some funny things going on. Well, the group I belong to, the Sturbridge Tea Party, you know us white, racist, bigot, trailer trash people usually meets at one of the local banks in their community room, which they have been letting local civic groups use for some time now, has been told we can no longer meet there due to pressure form the local Southbridge Hispanic community. I don't blame the bank at all, let me get that straight, they have to do what they have to do, but it sure is interesting how the local lefties seem to have a problem with the First Amendment now doesn't it?

Pig Roast

Yesterday was the Worcester Patriot's Day rally and Pig Roast and it was a great event. It was nice to see everyone there. It was also nice to see some not there (Government union members). The Worcester Police did a great job keeping the small group of kids away from us and all the attendees also did a great job in not letting them get under their skin. (The louder sound system we had also helped)

Thanks to all the people who volunteered to help and especially to Ken Mandile for putting it all together.

Don't forget, our group will be meeting Wednesday, April, 20, at 7:00 PM, Southbridge Savings Bank, Rte 20, Sturbridge.

And one more think: Click on this link for an article I wrote, You don't even have to read it, I just need a few more clicks to get to 250, a personal record for me. Thanks.See you Wednesday.

Voter Identification Issue

As any of you who live in the Sturbridge, Sixth Worcester area know, the recent special primary and the evil Billboard erected by EmpowerMA and ShowIDtoVote has really caused quite a stir. The Telegram and the Southbridge Town Clerk and Town Manager are all claiming voters are being intimidated by this billboard. And of course the race card has been played.

The Evil Billboard

Only the Guilty Get Nervous

Only the guilty get nervous. This was something I learned back when I was a Regional Security Manager for a large company. In the course of talking to less than desirable characters I learned that when someone got nervous when they saw me coming there was usually a good reason. So reading the Sunday Worcester Telegram yesterday, I have to wonder what the Southbridge Town Clerk and the Southbridge Town Manager are so afraid of. You see it seems that two groups with ties to those evil, racist Tea Party groups want to be at the polls in Southbridge and ask voters to voluntarily show their ID's to poll workers.

Sixth Worcester Non-endorsement

I know I haven't been to active lately with either the Sturbridge or the Knox Trail groups, and I do want to apologize for that. I have a whole tea pot full of personal things going on here which need to be dealt with, but I am still as passionate about the movement as ever. So with that being said...

Union Economics

It seems that in their infinite wisdom, the labor unions down there in New York City have initiated some legislation to raise the minimum wage in subsidized areas of the city in order to help with the unemployment problem. Now i don't normally agree with mayor Bloomberg, or should I say he usually doesn't agree with me, but he even thinks it's a bad idea. When will the left and the unions realize that raising the minimum wage never increases employment but in fact lowers it?
