From One Of Our Knox Trail Friends

I received this email from the Knox Trail Tea party regarding their meeting this past Tuesday. I am reprinting it without permission but John, it's for the cause.

The Knox Trail Cannon
Good morning all,

That was a nice turnout last night, and we should be encouraged that at the local level people are still interested enough in what is happening to our country that they will give up an evening at home to come out to spend time with like-minded fellow patriots. As discouraging as it is to be reminded by speakers like Mr. Shurtleff as to how bad the situation is with the current regime--not to mention those previous ones who also share a guilt burden for all that has befallen us and our children's futures--there is still real reason for us to be emboldened to stay in the brawl and not wave the white flag and hope for the best deal our masters will offer us.

Speaking only for myself, I am genuinely exhilarated to see what is going on out there in what I call "the big country." Just when the big shots like Karl Rove and the MSM have all but buried the Tea Party, the truth is emerging that it is just the opposite: the folks behind the yellow, rattlesnake flag haven't gone anywhere and are simply biding their time before they roar again as they did in November, 2010. Look at Indiana. The old RINO lion, Richard Lugar, of whom it can be said, no one in our history has done more to destroy American sovereignty by favoring any and all international schemes to create an interrelated one-world system of governance," is gone, annihilated by the tea party-backed candidate, Richard Mourdock. The establishment is still reeling, it wasn't even close.

In Wisconsin, a state traditionally as liberal as our people's paradise, sees embattled Governor Scott Walker garner more votes--in a meaningless G.O.P. primary--than his top two Democrat challengers combined. At this point, Walker(is there any politician in the land more steadfast and courageous?) seems to be on track to withstand the Armageddon-style war waged against him by the public service unions in their effort to recall him. If he wins, the game changes in many states across the country who are watching carefully to see what is his fate for standing strong against the bullies and thieves in the unions. If he loses, we all lose...just about everything. Come on, Wisconsin tea party patriots!

And what about last night in Nebraska? In a three-way race for the G.O.P. nomination for U.S. Senate, tea party-backed Deb Fischer, state senator, a distant third only 10 or 12 days ago, wins going away. To his great credit, the RINO-ish presumed winner--but now loser-- immediately congratulated the surprise victor, Mrs. Fischer. Not behavior generally associated with disgruntled RINO politicians, who frequently appear to prefer losing to a liberal than helping a conservative win anything. Of course, the fact that the winner's star began to rise a day or so after Governor Palin offered her endorsement is not lost on anyone, especially the Republican establishment who had grown comfortable thinking that neither the tea party nor Sarah Palin any longer posed a problem.

There are other reasons to be willing to continue to fight and to take inspiration from the state motto of Rhode Island: "Hope!"
Here in central Mass., tea party-affiliated folks are getting elected to local boards in their towns and to state positions. We are far from defeated, unless we surrender to discouragement and exhaustion. Remember Coach Lombardi's view of football players and people in general: "Fatigue is the enemy of us all."  No surrender!
