Finding That One Lost Sheep

There are some days when I am listening to talk radio or reading articles or other blogs, where I get pretty disheartened. We try to get out our message, but every day there is another assault of some kind on us and our tea party movement. We see examples of the progressive left screwing things up every day and it can be overwhelming.

All This Time I had It Wrong

I admit I don’t watch a whole lot of MSNBC, not for any other reason that being a poor Conservative who receives no assistance from anyone, I can’t afford the extra fee for the extra package to which MSNBC belongs. However, last night I had the pleasure of spending some time at my son’s house and was blessed with the ability to peruse it for a short time.

One Byte At A Time

Since I have become somewhat politically active, especially with the tea party movement, I have noticed one thing; there is no shortage of issues needing attention. I am constantly bombarded with e-mails from people and organizations needing help with this and that, all of which are going to ruin the country if they aren’t fixed immediately. And of course most of them can only be fixed with a donation. So how does one decide which of the “Your Immediate Attention is Required” causes get the attention?

Subject: Public Service Announcement: Pre-Town Meeting Town Meeting

The Town Moderator, Town Administrator, and Chairman of the Finance Committee invite any interested resident to attend a "Pre-Town Meeting Town Meeting" on May 24, 2011 at 7:00 PM at Veteran's Memorial Hall, Sturbridge Town Hall.

 

This is an opportunity to better understand the issues on the Town Meeting warrants and for residents to ask questions in an informal and casual setting in advance of the June Annual Town Meeting. The Town Moderator will also explain how Town Meeting works, which is a great opportunitity for new residents who have not previously attended a Town Meeting.

 

In addition, this presentation will be broadcast live on local cable access with phone calls accepted throughout the presentation.

 

It's A New World Out There

Well, it's finally over and Peter Durant has officially won. I know, he hasn't been sworn in yet, and this is Massachusetts but it looks good. First I want to congratulate Peter on his win, he worked hard and through it all he kept smiling and stayed positive. Now let's hope he goes to Beacon Hill and makes a difference.

Our First Guest Post - Quake

Following is a guest post from one of our members, feel free to comment:

 In the summer of 1811, the great Shawnee Warrior-chief Tecumseh, in an effort to unite the
various Indian tribes into a confederation to resist the advance of the United
States, predicted that a great sign would come. He predicted a shaking of the
Earth that would be felt by all and acknowledge his righteous cause with
tangible proof that the Great Spirit was on his side.

New Tea Party Blog Roll

blA few of us have started a new Tea party Blog Roll, called "Tea and Rolls" (yes I admit I came up with the cheesy name) where any Tea Party associated bloggers can list their blogs, and we can keep them all in one place. (Makes it easier to keep an  eye on all these tea party nuts).

So check it out http://teaandrolls.blogspot.com/ , feel free to pass this along, and comment on what others are saying. If you write a blog and would like to have it listed, send me an email at imjustmusing@aol.com with a header something like "Add Blog" and I will be happy to add it.

Thanks.

A Cold Day in Hall, Town Hall That is

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, all you Sturbridge residents out there. I know you have all heard Jane and I expound on our extreme displeasure with our town spending money on those nice new brick sidewalks down on the Town Common. And perhaps you have even heard about the front door at our remodeled Town hall which the public can no longer access, and I believe I mentioned perhaps we could have used the money spent on the sidewalks for the door. (Okay, I know it was probably not transferable, I get it) So what do I hear on Sunday from a usually reliable source who hates to spend any more money than he absolutely has to?
