Grassroots DVD for Debra Medina

Northeast Texas Liberty Campaign and Greenville Area Tea Party put together the FIRST grassroots DVD of Debra Medina's speeches and interviews. Thanks Aja for all your hard work!

We handed some of these out the other night when Debra was in Greenville, several people said they'd make copies and pass them out.
Link to the .ISO file that you can burn onto a DVD. http://tiny.cc/dRe6f
On our label we put in small print at the bottom, that it was a grassroots project, not affiliated with the campaign. We also included her website.

If you can't download and burn a copy, pick one up at the Book Nook. Then make copies and pass them around!!!!! If you live too far out from Greenville, you can contact me and I'll drop one in the mail. netxlc@gmail.com

There are plenty of videos to watch on her Youtube channel.

My Latest in the Greenville Herald Banner 11.4.09

It wasn't online, so I don't have a link. I sent it two weeks ago! I didn't think they'd ever print it!!!

Dear Editor,
This is a response to Mr. Jaco’s letter about taxpayer funded health care.That’s nice that your family has been so well cared for by medicare, etc. However we should look at the realities of expanding or even continuing such programs- yes, health care must be paid for- but the idea of taxpayers footing the bill is a rather new one - only a few decades old. The consequences of such programs are unfunded liabilities that our country has no way to pay for, to the tune of 60 +/- trillion dollars. That means we’ve obligated ourselves to that as a future debt, promise to provide and pay for services we can‘t afford.

Whatever happened to personal responsibility, the free market and real charity? I’ll tell you what’s happened to it - the federal and state government came in and gradually took over just about every aspect of our lives. We look to big brother or nanny state instead of the person in the mirror.

The more government has entangled itself in health care the more the costs have risen and efficiency and quality has gone down. What has government ever taken control of that has IMPROVED?

Why am I, an uninsured person paying for the healthcare of EVERYONE else? Through corporations and businesses passing their expenses to consumers (me) and government passing the programs’ costs to taxpayers (me) - I pay for other’s care and cannot afford my own. There is something wrong with this picture. And no the answer isn’t for me to get in line for Medicaid (which I’m sure our family would qualify for, but we wouldn’t dream of asking others to pay for something that is OUR responsibility!).

Healthcare choices should be left to the individual. No one should be forced -YES - forced to pay for someone else’s personal choices or consequences from those choices.Imagine how much money we’d have in our pockets if we weren’t forced to subsidize - with everything we buy and taxed on every dime we earn - the care of others.

We could afford our own insurance if we chose to, whatever level we decided and from whatever provider we wanted. Like buying auto or home insurance. Insurance should cover the major catastrophes in life. Every sniffle, flat tire, routine oil change or burned out light bulb shouldn’t be paid for by insurance.Then we’d also have more money in our pockets to help the truly needy with charity. Which should be in the hands of community and churches, NOT the government.

We need to get back to taking care of ourselves- we do a much better job.

The trillions in promised future benefits is unsustainable. We must work toward removing government all together from those areas of life not authorized by the Constitution and not impose further burdens of debt on our people - such burdens will be born by children not yet born!

Like Melody Brunson’s op-ed about changing buying habits and Ms. Eades letters about helping one another. We must start being more responsible for self , family and neighbors. And strengthen our churches and communities.

Our debt based economy will continue to come crashing down. We’ve been plundered by Austin, Washington, Wall Street and the Federal Reserve (as well as the international bankers). And the looting hasn’t stopped. You think the dollar losing 95% of its purchasing power in the last 90 years is bad, just wait until the inflation which will result from the recent printing of trillions more in monopoly money comes home to roost. We will be the ones to pick up the pieces, we CANNOT look to the ones who’ve done this to us to take care of us.

This will mean a paradigm shift. Back 100 years or more would be a good place to start. Before the Federal Reserve Banking system, before the AMA censuring alternatives to healthcare, before socialism and fascism, before U.S. global empire building, before Federal indoctrination institutions (government controlled public schools), before the propaganda machines run by a few corporations.

It’s not left vs. right folks, it’s tyranny vs. the people.

Personal responsibility and local control are the prescriptions we need.

Declare Your Independence!!!

Thank you to everyone who braved the heat and came out to Declare Your Independence! If it weren't so hot there would have been more of us and it would have been merrier, but I think we did well considering! We got a nice write-up in the Sunday paper with TWO photos! And it was encouraging to see all the new faces!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a true grassroots effort! Individuals taking personal responsibility to connect with like-minded folks and make our voices heard! We are building a community of concerned people who refuse to be apathetic any longer! We will spread the word and encourage others to get involved! We will concentrate on what we agree on and not let the parties or mainstream media divide us.

Friday, July 3rd- Greenville Area Tea Party!!!!

I think we got a lot of attention on Wesley Street! Don't you think the evening rush hour traffic would be just about as good as the lunch hour? Especially on a Friday?

Let's meet around 4:30 PM at the corner of Wesley and Kari at the corner near Staples like we did last time. Bring your friends and family! Let's have a HUGE turnout!

Bring lawn chairs and umbrellas if you like. I'll see if we can get a local establishment to donate some lemonade.

I'd say for signs let's focus on God Given Liberty. However that lines up with the current issues. Look around and realize how "NOT free" we really are.

I'm thinking health freedom is really important with further socialization/nationalization of our healthcare "system" VERY close at hand. Not to mention mandantory vaccinations for the "swine flu pandemic".

Here are some suggestions: Remember let's keep this non-partisan and not personal. Your sign should cause people to think, not just turn them off so they can easily dismiss the message.

Free Market - not Facsism

Health Freedom not "free" health care

Taxation = plunder

Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God

What part of "Shall Not Be Infringed" do you not understand?

Census = Counting heads, not privacy invasion!

Patrick Henry tried to warn us!

Tenure Corrupts - Vote Them Out!

No More Nanny State!

Personal Responsibility!

Tyranny = Terrorism

Audit the Fed/End the Fed! HR 1207 and SB 604

It's looking more and more like 1984!

Here's to You Mr. Jefferson - Mike Church Band

He did a good job with this music video based on a Simon and Garfunkel song.
