The theme of this meeting will be The future Direction and actions of the Tea Parties and we are asking for your input as it is YOUR Tea Party.

Were Back

If this is the first newsletter you have received since about Christmas it is because several of our recent Newsletters have had the ETC/Ellijay addresses blocked by a NY server used for ETC E-Mail accounts. Constant Contact, ETC and the Tea Party of Gilmer county have spent the last month working on this problem and we now believe our Newsletters are back to normal.

From its inception the Tea Party goal has been to sound the alarm and provide solid information about what was going on in our Country which was contrary to the Constitution.

The various Tea Parties including our own did a good job in providing information but that is now in the past as our side won and elected a President who is trying to do something about the problems we shouted from the rooftops for the last eight years but the battle is only half won.

In order to realize the rewards of the last election to stop run away taxes and regulations and to enforce our laws about illegal migration the Tea Parties need to get behind President Trump by contacting our elected officials and urging them to show a little spine and act like winners and get it done by what ever legal means necessary.

A Few Cases In Point

Confirm Trumps nominations today using the nuclear option as Harry Reid and the Democrats have shown they will use whatever works while the Republicans continue to play nice so the Left wing media wont say mean things about them.

Betty DeVos is yet to be confirmed as Secretary of Education and has in fact two Republicans who received huge contributions from the teachers Union intending to vote against her.

VP Pence will be the tie breaker but both Sen Collins and Sen Murkowski should be stripped of any leadership or committee positions today.

Executive Orders

The last six Presidents have used executive orders to limit immigration but when Trump does the same thing with a ninety day temporary order an activist district Judge (A position created by Congress) is telling the American people he alone has the power to over turn our national sovereignty and the laws passed by congress.

To save you some time on Google I will quote Section 212F of the Immigration and Nationality act of 1952 Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he MAY BY PROCLAMATION ,and for such period as he may deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

When the TPGC wanted to speak from the Old Courthouse steps back in 2009 we asked for and received a permit from the city of Ellijay. We had no riots and no trash left behind

I am going to post a list of phone number for you to load on your phone in order to call your elected officials and let them know what you expect from them in they like their job.

The Tea Party of Gilmer Party invites you to come its meeting Monday February 13th - Fetchyournews.com

Aired 2/8/17 on KPBS News.

San Diego organizers gathered in front of the offices of U.S. senators and members of congress to lay out a progressive alternative to the Trump policies they oppose.

A collection of progressive groups continue to converge on the San Diego offices of federal lawmakers. The groups are part of a loosely-coordinated national movement which sprang up after President Trump took office.

Roughly 200 people gathered Tuesday in front of the San Diego offices of U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Theyve been there every Tuesday since the inauguration. This Tuesday they wanted lawmakers to vote against Sen. Jeff Sessions for attorney general and Trumps pick for the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Judge Neil Gorsuch. Its part of a grassroots effort to force lawmakers to push back against the Trump administration the way the Tea Party pushed Republican lawmakers to the right eight years ago.

We definitely saw the GOP run a really strong campaign around not allowing everything to pass, said Jabez Lebret of Together We Will San Diego. They really put up a wall between Obama and his administration. We want to put up a wall between number 45 and his administration on some of the actions they are taking.

Together We Will is one of several progressive groups which sprung up, coming out of protests like the Womens March on Washington. Theyre under the loose umbrella of Indivisible, from the Indivisible Guide, an organizing handbook created by a group of former Congressional staffers.

Calling it Resist Trump Tuesday protesters gave a staffer at Feinsteins office a copy of that days agenda. A week earlier organizers said they promised to bring cookies, so the note came with a bag of chocolate chips. The group also appeared at the offices of U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, along with Congressmen Duncan Hunter and Darrell Issa.

In 2010, Republicans were able to end the Democratic majority in the House and their super majority in the Senate.

The idea behind Indivisible, Lebret said, is to keep coming every week, with an eye toward allowing progressives to make similar gains in the midterm elections in 2018.

Congressman Dave Brathas faced a lot of criticism in the past weeks in Virginias 7th District. He faced even more when he came into the national spotlight about a week agoand for good reason.After refusing to host Town Hall meetings for his constituents in Virginias 7th District until 100 days into the Trump presidency, thesecond-term Congressman (who affiliates with the Tea Party) was recorded saying some not-so-flattering things about the women at what can only be described as astand-up comedy routine with a bit of policy talk thrown in for good measure.

While the second-term Congressman said a lot of things that rubbed many of his constituents the wrong way, one statement was particularly notable. Early into his speaking engagementwhich, by the way, was given in Virginias 1st District on January 28, while he is stillrefusing to host a similar event in his own DistrictDave Brat hinted at why he wasnt open to talking to his own constituents despite heading to Arizona to speak at a Town Meeting there later this month.

Since Obamacare and these issues have come up, the women are in my grill wherever I go, Brat said to a room full of Republican supporters in Virginias 1st District. They come up and they ask me whens your next town hall? andbelieve meits not to give positive input. The statement was met with a hearty round of laughter from the crowd as Brat chuckled at his own hilarious disregard for the concerns of the people he was elected to represent.

One such womanwho is most certainly in his grillis Maureen Hains, a 33-year-old resident of Midlothian, Virginia and the founder of the7th District Town Hall MeetingFacebook Group (which has over 1,000 members at this time). In fact, it might just be Hains and her friends who Brat was referring to in hisinsensitive and misogynistic speech. See, as Brat became more and more evasive regarding his constituents requests for a Town Hall meeting regarding the Obamacare repeal, Hains decided shecould no longer take it. Although shesays shes never had a background in local politics, Hains decided she had todo something aftergetting the runaroundfrom Rep. Brats office.

And what was she calling them aboutabout? The date and time of the next Town Hall meeting hosted by the Congressman who she voted for.

Yes, thats right. Despite painting the women as the enemy of reason and conservative values in his bizarroDef Comedy Jam-style speech to a room of mostly male supporters, it turns out that at least some of thewomen hes referring to actually did vote for him, which would indicate that they at least agree with some of what he wants to do.

That hasnt stopped Brat from painting Maureen and the rest of his discontented constituents as rich liberals and paid activists as an excuse todismiss their concerns without a second thought. Hains isnt upset about the policies necessarily (though she doesfeel uneasyabout the promise to destroy theJohnson Amendmentamong a few others), its Brats apparent contempt for the people he represents that got her fired up and ready to fight.

The aforementioned video didnt help his case, of course. Maureen explained that she wasabhorred he would refer to hisconstituentsas the Women.' She said that it reminded [her]of Donald Trumpsrhetoricwith theMexicans and the Blacks. [Brat]doesnt realize that its not just women who want to be heard. But that wasnt the biggest problem. She founded the group before Brats speech had even happened.

While Hains said she found the Congressmans comments condescending and sexist, she explained that her concerns do not lie only with what he may or may not planto do. Imconcerned hes changed. Im concerned hes become a sell out. Im concerned that he is lying when he says he wants peoples voices to be heard. Im concerned he doesnt care how his actions in the first 100 days will affect his constituents, she explained.

And thats an important distinction to make. Just because you demand transparency from your representatives does not mean that you are opposing them or out to criticizewhich seems to be what Brat doesnt understand (that said, Dave Brat, I, personally, oppose everything you are doing, just FYI). The women who are up in hisgrill arent out to get him. Its not a witch hunt. Its not an attempt to demonize himor hissupporters. They want to do their civic duty and make their voices heard.

His defensive argument that hes held so many town hall meetings in the past doesnt answer our question. Were not asking if hes done them before, we know he has, we are simply asking, When is the next Town Hall meeting? Its not an accusation, its a question. We still have not heard the answer, Hains explained of her position. You cant represent if you wont listen to both sides.

That seems pretty reasonable to me, Congressman. Seriously, if you cant wrap your head around that, get out of politics and make way for someone who actually cares about the will of the people.

Thelast few weeks have been fatiguing to say the least, but Maureen Hains story does speak to one important silver liningto the current political situation: the apathy that has marked American politics for far too long seems to be coming to an end. People all over the country who have never participated inthe political process (outside of voting) are getting involvedwhich actually bodes well for the future of our country.

Although things are admittedly bleak in Washington at the moment, the renewed interest in defending our rights as citizensfrom marriage equality and healthcare to church/state separation and access to our representatives indicates that, ifwe make it through the next few years (months? days? weeks?), we will be in a better place than we ever have beenand this time, it seems, women are leading the fight.

So, getused to us being in your grill, Congressman. The women arentgoing anywhere Except maybe to Washington to take your job.
