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?

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...
