VIRTUAL RALLY: OPERATION STOP THE BLEEDING
Patriots! It's time to saddle up again and fight the good fight against an overgrown government that still isn't listening!
Make no mistake - this fight to cut spending is just as important as our fight against Obamacare! Budgets, spending, and debt may not feel as personal as health care, but it is! We've seen how personal it's gotten in Greece, and we know what happens when a nation crumbles under the weight of its bureaucracy.
Because we simply can't afford to be making trips to DC to rally around the Capitol, Tea Party Patriots is hosting a weeklong Virtual Rally. Every day, from Tuesday through Friday, you will find new action items and all of the information and materials you will need to get the job done.
Think about this: To pay for the overspending that government has already overspent, $45,000 in debt is now strapped to the back of each child born in America. To pay for the overspending that government has committed to overspend in the future, but has yet made no provision to pay for, each American household is now on the hook for $528,000.
Believe us, this is personal. Overspending leads directly to fewer jobs. That's real personal.

Honoring Those Who Have Made the Ultimate Sacrifice in the Service of Our Nation
My family has a long history of military service: grandfathers, uncles, father and husband -- ranging from The Great War to the present. I honor and respect our Veterans and their families through shared experiences and continued compassion and prayers.
The lack of understanding by some in the media disturbs me regarding the meaning of Memorial Day vice Veterans Day.
Memorial Day honors those who have fallen in the service of our Nation. Veterans Day honors all Veterans, past and present.
These two links provide an overview of why and how, we celebrate Memorial Day.

Freedom Isn't Free
I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
and then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil?
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea?
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.
I heard the sound of TAPS one night,
When everything was still
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That TAPS had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.
Freedom Isn't Free
