Patriot Day Tea Party Updates

Special Service Planned in Memory of GySgt Robert Gilbert

[22 Mar 10]

I know it is short notice but but the Bible Baptist Churchin Richfield is sponsoring a special service in memory of fallen Marine Gunnery Sgt. Robert Gilbert, in honor of the members and veterans of the United States Military and Reserve Forces.

GySgt Gilbert is a Revere High School, Class of 2000, graduate and the son of Richfield Police Officer Bob Gilbert. He was wounded in Afghanistan when a sniper's bullet pierced his helmet and died March 8 on his 28th birthday at the National Nabal Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

The service will be 7:30 PM, Wednesday, March 24, at the Holiday Inn Express, 5171 Brecksville Rd., Richfield, OH.

Also, if you can make it, you can pay your respects as GySgt Gilbert's body is brought home Tuesday, March 23. His body will be passing by the Richfield Veteran's Memorial, at the intersection of Broadview and Streetsboro Roads (St. Rts. 176 and 303) sometime after 2:00 PM.

Obama in Strongsville Monday, March 15!

[15 Mar 10]

Today was Buzzard Day in Hinckley. Kind of appropriate that President Obama swooped down into Strongsville today.

Anyway, A couple of us got there about 10:30 in the morning and stayed until after 3:00 PM. It was cloudy. It was cold. It was drizzly. It was exhilarating! Ralph King, of Cleveland Tea Party, said that they counted at least 650 protesters.

Toward the end we had one Obama supporter show up wearing a shirt that said, "Ban Republican Marriage." When asked what that meant he said, "So they don't reproduce." (Here's a thought: He apparently took for granted that most Republicans marry in order to reproducing. Does that mean most of those who reproduce without the benefit of marriage are not Republicans?)

We then started talking about what a blessing it is to live in a country where we have the right to protest no matter what side of the issue you're on and how many places where you can be thrown in jail and even killed for daring to dissent. One older lady then said to the youthful Obama supporter, "I hope you still have free speech when you get to be my age." To which the young man mumbled something along the lines of, "Not if you guys are in charge."

Of course, he didn't say "you guys," he used a profane term. And after we called him on his use of lewd, pronographic terminology to the lady he slunk off.

Did we make a difference? Probably not to the President. Probably not to the Congress. But, judging by the thumbs up, salutes, and honking horns of the cars and trucks driving by on Rt. 82, we made a difference to someone. And, maybe even to a certain young Obama supporter.

Salt and light.

Is There Not a Cause?
[24 Feb 10]

I recently came across a quote from Al Capone: "You can get more of what you want with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word."

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!

Patriot Day Tea Party coming up!

I Kings 21
(The New American Patriot Version)

By Alfred B. Davis

1    And it came to pass after these things, that the American people had a system of healthcare, which was in jeopardy, hard by the palace of Obama the would-be-king of America.
2    And Obama spake unto the American people, saying, Give me your healthcare, that I may have it for a garden of socialism, because it is near unto my house: and I will give ye for it a better healthcare system than it; or, if it seem good to ye, I will give ye the worth of it in money.
3    And the American people said to Obama, The Constitution forbid it us, that we should give the inheritance of our fathers unto thee.
4    And Obama came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which the American people had spoken to him: for they had said, We will not give thee the inheritance of our fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5    But Pelosi his comrade came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6    And he said unto her, Because I spake unto the American people, and said unto them, Give me your healthcare for money; or else, if it please ye, I will give ye another healthcare system for it: and they answered, we will not give thee our healthcare.
7    And Pelosi his comrade said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of America? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the healthcare system of the American people.
8    So she wrote letters in Obama's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling apart from the American people.
9    And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a witch hunt, and villify the healthcare professionals on the Hill before the American people:
10    And set the news media, scions of the progressives, before them, to bear witness against them, saying, You didst profit from pain and suffering. And then carry them out, and over regulate them, that they may die.
11    And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Pilosi had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12    They proclaimed a witch hunt, and villified the healthcare professionals on the Hill before the American people.
13    And there came in the news media, scions of the progressives, and sat before them: and the news media witnessed against them, even against the health care professionals, in the sight of the American people, saying, the health care professionals did profit from pain and suffering. Then they carried them forth out of the city, and legislated against them with bills, that they died.
14    Then they sent to Pelosi, saying, The American people are bamboozled, and are submissive.
15    And it came to pass, when Pelosi heard that the American people were bamboozled, and were submissive, that Pelosi said to Obama, Arise, take possession of the healthcare of the American people, which they refused to give thee for money: for the American people are not aware, but bamboozled.
16    And it came to pass, when Obama heard that the American people were bamboozled, that Obama rose up to nationalize the healthcare of the American people, to take possession of it.
17    And the word of the Constitution came to the American patriots, saying,
18    Arise, go down to meet Obama the would-be-king of America, which is in the Capitol: behold, he is in the Congress of the American people, whither he is gone down to possess it.
19    And you shall speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the Constitution, Hast thou nationalized, and also taken possession? And you shall speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the Constitution, In the place where media licked the blood of the healthcare professionals shall media lick thy blood, even thine.
20    And Obama said to the American patriots, Hast thou found me, O mine enemies? And they answered, we have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the Constitution.
21    Behold, we will bring lawsuits upon thee, and will take away thy comrades, and will cut off from Obama him that voteth against the people, and him that is shut up and left in the Congress,
22    And will make thine presidency like the presidency of Jimmy the son of Carter, and like the presidency of Woodrow the son of Wilson, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked us to anger, and made America to sin.
23    And of Pelosi also spake the Constitution, saying, The country shall defeat Pelosi by the vote of the people.
24    Him that sideth with Obama in the city the voters shall defeat; and him that sideth in the states shall the voters of the America defeat.
25    But there was none like unto Obama, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Constitution, whom Pelosi his comrade stirred up.
26    And he did very abominably in following liberals, according to all things as did the Alinskyites, whom the Constitution cast out before the voters of America.
27    And it came to pass, when Obama heard those words, that he read his teleprompters, and pulled emails from his desk, and texted, and lied in briefings, and went loudly.
28    And the word of the Constitution came to the American patriots, saying,
29    Seest thou how Obama flaunteth himself before me? because he flaunteth himself before me, I will not allow the evil of his ways: but for his unconstitutional ways will I bring change upon this house.

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!

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.
