Washington D.C. 9/12/2009 As I Saw It!

Tea Party Express

Washington D.C. September 12, 2009
I was there!!!! I joined over a million wonderful Americans on that day along with my wife, Sandee.

So how many were really there? News media says tens of thousands, Fox says 75,000, and The White House says, “No one of any importance, just some radical right wingers." University of Illinois estimates through satellite imagery, 1.7 million. Do the numbers really matter? When I stood shoulder to shoulder in a thick sea of enthusiastic Americans I saw the zeal of hundreds of thousands. I saw the passion that made us a great nation. I saw the passion that made us victorious in the revolutionary war, World War I and World War II. If the liberal kooks had not been in control we would have wiped up North Korea and Vietnam the same way. If they would allow us to do it right, our troops would have harnessed Iraq and Afghanistan a long time ago.

I loved the people that attended. Their signs and slogans were so original and creative. When it was over, they all stacked their trash in the waste receptacles provided and NO ONE was arrested! Think about that. These are true Americans. There were numerous speakers including politicians of all colors. They are sick and tired of the race accusations of the liberals. Obama may be half black but guess what, he is also half white! Who cares about that? I don’t; I just don’t want my children and grandchildren to live in socialism and eventually not be allowed to hear the gospel preached.

Be encouraged! There were people from every state including Alaska. Their fervor was like an NFL football game or a NASCAR event. These people all paid their own way; they were not hired by some Obama recruited group like Acorn or a labor union. They were not coached and told what to say or cheer for. They were there because their hearts are connected with this nation, not just their own little personal problems.

Let us get out of the “fear” mode that some are into. Why should we be fearful when main stream American is not ready to give up its freedom? The Bible clearly states, “…..greater is He (Jesus) that is in us than he (the devil) that is in the world.” If you are a true Christian, greater is the God inside you than the devil driving many of the leaders in the current administration. So you think I am judging, absolutely I admit I am making a judgment call. Jesus said, “…you shall know them by their fruits.” If what they do and say resembles the devil, just “connect the dots” as they say.

Speak out what you want, quit saying, “Well I guess they are just going to take over this country and I am just a little peanut without a shell….woe is me.” Nonsense, we have the winning hand and America has the Spirit of the living God wanting to rise up in us.

God Bless America where Jesus is Lord!
