On Friday, April 15th, 2011, we held our Third Annual Orlando Tax Day Tea Party at Lake Eola in downtown Orlando. The event was schedule from 4:00 – 6:00pm, but with such incredible and humbling dedication, patriots not only arrived early, but stayed until the end which was well past 7:30pm.

I often refer to the tea party movement as an “Awakening”. Read how one liberty-minded friend-of-the-movement went from an everyday Republican to an educated constitutionalist.

On Monday, March 21, 2011, the Seminole County 9.12 group(s) hosted Sheriff Richard Mack (ret.) for an outstanding presentation on how his lawsuit against the Clinton administration recognized our state sovereignty.

If anyone would have asked me on Friday, February 27, 2009 at our first Orlando Tea Party rally what the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution is and how has it affected the relationship between the state and federal governments, I wouldn’t have been able to answer the question.

No, but like me, the American electorate arose from it’s slumber because, simply put, we knew something was wrong.

No matter what kind of day I’m having, however, when I walk [...]

On Tuesday, March 8, 2011, I joined between 700-1,000 Floridians on the steps of the old Capitol building in Tallahassee, FL as the 2011 legislative session began. With leaders from our statewide network of tea party, 9/12 and liberty minded groups, we hosted a rally, met with our representatives and presented them with our legislative agenda and finished the day by kicking off the very first Tea Party Caucus at the state level.

On Thursday, February 24th, 2011, I flew to Dallas, TX to join the Dallas area tea party as a presenter at their Grassroots Bootcamp. To my surprise, there were over 230 Texas patriots in attendance and just as you’ll find at any tea party group, they were the nicest people you’d ever want to meet.
