Patriot Day Tea Party Updates

Is There Not a Cause?
[24 Feb 10]

I recently came across a quote from Al Capone: Kind words don't get you as much as kind words with a gun.

Apparently the infamous Chicago gangster found that a credible threat behind his kind words helped with his income redistribution efforts. A look at the various health reform schemes, cap and tax scams, tax increases, and government power grabs put forward show that others have learned from Capone's example.

We don't have to sit back and do nothing. Together, we can do something to push back the forces of statism. Get informed and get involved.

If you are interested in building up a Tea Party group in the Richfield, Ohio, area please get in touch with Al Davis.

Thank You Veterans!

250+ Turn Out in Richfield!
[14 Sep 09]

Our tea party was a tremendous success! People kept asking us how many we expected to have at our Richfield Patriot Day Tea Party. We started out hoping to break 100 but really had no idea. By 4:00 the cars started streaming in, filling up two lots with a hundred cars and then spilling over into an adjacent lot and along the drive. We also had a number of people arrive on foot and bicycle. We even had a heckler, though most people never knew he was there. A guy rode by on a bicycle shouting, "Go, Obama!", to which we can readily agree: "GO,Obama!", as in "Go away, Obama!" All told, we believe there were just over 250 attending.

Pastor Al Davis of theBible Baptist Church in Richfield moderated the program and led us off with a prayer, concluding without apology "In Jesus Name." Russ Scarvelli, of Operation Firing for Effect then sang the Star Spangled Banner. Following the national anthem, Joe Gayner, one of the Richfield Patriot Day Tea Party organizers, and his son, Nick, led us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

After some opening remarks we recognized the many veterans who were present as well as all past and present police, fire, and rescue workers. Then, in honor of those who were killed on September 11, 2001, Kim Davis, another of the Richfield Patriot Day Tea Party organizers, read a special 9/11 time line, followed by a moment of silence.

It is taking some time but we do have a few pictures of the tea party available at our picture gallery. We hope to have some more available soon.

Thanks again to everyone who helped and participated. We could not have done it without you!

Obama's Train Wreck

By Alfred B. Davis
(Sung to the tune of the Petticoat Junction theme song.)

Come ride a little train that is rolling down the tracks to the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!
Forget about your pay it is time for a tax at the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!
Lots of spin, you bet! Even more when you get to the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!

There's a little White House and a Cong-er-ess at the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!
It is run by Reed, Pelosi, and Barak at the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!
And there's Uncle Joe, he's-a thinking kind-a slow at the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!

Don't think about the bills as you're rolling down the tracks to the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!
Forget about the truth and never mind the facts at the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!
Lots of blame, you bet! Even more when you get to the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!

There's a coming meltdown and a big collapse at the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!
Liberals won't blame Reed, Pelosi, and Barak for the train wreck.
Obama's train wreck!
But there's Uncle Joe, he's-a blaming all of us at the train wreck.
Obama's train weck!

When I See that Great Flag

By Alfred B. Davis

When I see that great flag of the United States of America, I see more that just a flag. I'm reminded of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and what He did for me.

The stars remind me of the universe and all that He created when He spoke it into existence through the mighty power of His Word.

The blue field behind the stars speaks to me of the heaven beyond the starry sky and the promise of a mansion there to all who will believe.

The red stripes illustrate the stripes upon His back and show the precious blood He shed as payment for my sin.

The white stripes, bordered by the red, remind me that although my sins were scarlet He washed them white as snow and now my heart, although it once was black, now is white within.

The pole that lifts the grand old flag and points into the sky, is like the cross that lifted up my Savior and like a lonely sentinel still points the only way.

Old Glory tells of what He left behind and what the angels sang, to shepherds keeping watch by night on the occasion of His birth.

And as the flag lifts and swells with the freshening of the breeze, I remember how He went to rest into a borrowed tomb, but on the third day rose victorious, with a mighty triumph over death and sin.

The snap of the flag, the flash of its broad stripes and bright stars, it's as the Holy Word of God that echoes in my soul and shows to me that the only way to be truly free is to have my sins forgiven and Jesus in my heart.

So when I see that great flag of the United States of America, I see more that just a flag. I'm reminded of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and what He did for me.
