Gonzales ＂Come And Take It＂ Tea Party PT 2 Of 2 [48tQFKy2NGI]

00:00 I'm going to stand your side. Biggest traitors among us hold elective office, I actually do hold elective office! I am your elected member of the Texas State Board of Education that group that The New York Times likes to refer to as the radical religious extremist right. So happy New Year to you! It's an honor and a privilege for me to be here among such great patriots. It reminds me, you know that Texas when we look at the way that we have the tea parties what does it stand for? We know today is tax day and that's what we are. But what spirit of the Tea Party do

00:47 The spirit of the Tea Party being patriots who stand up to intrusive regulation by a government body and taxation, and saying no more. And we will take bold steps to stop these efforts! So that is the spirit which brings us here today. I'm in the nation speaking about who we are as Americans because i find that we do not know who we are as Americans. First of all, we don't know that we're a republic A republic is an important part of government because it means that were no just a government by people for people

01:28 I also think that it's very frightening to stand here as Americans and to know that today our currency is no longer regulated within the boundaries of the United States, but is now being regulated in Europe. We have to stand up and say we will be a sovereign nation our rights to be taken away and given to international authority. You know, our Constitution is a document of enumerated powers and what that means is everything that's not expressly written in the Constitution for the federal government to do was expressly reserved for the states and the people. So someone explain how our tax dollars are going for things like national education and

02:22 How is the federal government reaching into our pockets time and time again with the tax The judiciary who is taking our rights has done so because they know they can get things accomplished that couldn't be legislated. Come and take it, dog. Come and take it, dog! Evan? Hey. And Sal? Is that correct? Yes. Okay. I would like to see...and I'm going to keep it real short is we have term limits of eight years and legislation sessions of four or five months then go home. Yeah! That would be blood in the arena at Washington

03:43 keep all the political criminals out of Washington, working with their cohorts. The people that have all the money I think this would also lessen the election money problems we see out there because people are eight years they're not fighting for something and let them go home and have the same pension as we had why aren't we paying more attention? I'd like to see a grassroots thing out of petition that limits terms and sections. I think we're going to have Lynn Wilson come and say a few words as the last speaker

04:25 You know, the First Amendment is better known as the Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech Amendment. But a part of it says this... Congress shall make no law prohibiting the right of people peaceably to a center and to petition the government for a redress of grievances That's what we're doing today We're not here to begin a new American Revolution We're not here to stir up civil unrest Our Constitution makes that unnecessary. We're gathered here today to seek redress of the irresponsible spending and ensuing increased taxation imposed upon us by politicians. Politicians are too far removed from the reality of everyday life, who appropriately consider the effects of their decisions upon people like you and me.

05:20 Repeal the 16th Amendment. By gathering here today, we are reminding those politicians that we are their bosses and if they do not hear our voice, they will be the ones who are at war with us! But we face a great danger today. The danger that we face is that we will allow this demonstration alone to dissipate our sense of outrage at the irresponsibility of those who govern us. If we do that, the politicians will rightly conclude that this storm of protest will soon blow over and they'll go back to business as usual

06:13 We have made our voices heard today, but we must continue to make them heard. Each time the government, and that includes the courts does something that goes against our beliefs we must flood Congress with the White House with phone calls with letters, with emails protesting those actions. We must remember those politicians support policies that go against our beliefs and when we go to the polls we vote for removal from office regardless of party affiliation We must become responsible enough to investigate those who are asking for our vote, to ensure that they agree with and will support our beliefs and therefore are worthy of our votes. We must demand integrity and honesty in our elected officials and demand impeachment when they fail to exhibit those rights

07:19 We must return to the biblical admonition to choose able men, such as fear God. Men who are trustworthy and hate a bride and put these kind of men and women in office. Our government is designed to be responsive to the will of the people but it will be responsive only as long we demand it to be In the words of Abraham Lincoln It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us. That this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom and that government by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth." Thank you for standing up for America today, and before we go I'd like to ask you to bow with me and join with me in prayer

08:24 Heavenly Father, we want to thank you that you have allowed us to live in America. The greatest country in the world. But Lord, we are losing our greatness because we and our lack of wisdom have asked You to stay out of the classroom, our courtroom, our public property and out of our lives We have forgotten that life is an exaltation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Father we ask for forgiveness for the sins of our nation and plead for the restoration of our greatness. We who are your people call by your name humble ourselves before you

09:07 We seek your faith, O Lord and we turn from the ways of victims. Now hear our prayer and heal our land. Father we ask you to bring us back to the point where You can once again bless America And we ask it in the name of Your Son and Our Lord Jesus Christ Amen We've got to do something together and you've gotta do it on your own. You've gotta stand up, you've gotta stand up and speak out! If you don't they're gonna walk all over ya! Okay?
