Just a quick update…

Just so everyone knows about the 9/12 meeting location change…

The meeting will be held Thursday, October 22nd at the Milton Fire hall from 7 – 9.  If anyone has any questions feel free to drop them here.  Chances are I’ve e-mailed most of you though

Organizing For America & 9/12 meeting location changed

Well, tonight, I joined in on an Organizing For America conference call (previously Obama For America)… I will be discussing this call at the next 9/12 meeting which is Thursday night (Ocober 22) at 7pm.  It was scheduled to be at the Georgetown Cheer Center, but I have just found out that was double booked.  The new location will be announced as soon as I know.

I want everyone to come to this meeting so they can hear about this crazy conference call pushing the presidents agenda. 

More to come soon

Well, I guess I should join the rest of the world, or make them join me

As I was informed, it is past Wednesday (I tend to procrastinatem but I guess Saturday makes me a bit just plain late).  I will start by a general bit of information.  My blogs are only written at late hours because I am always up late.  If I get more then 5 hours of sleep then I feel that I am missing important information.  I am also a major night owl, so I’m normally up late and hating mornings.  That does not mean call late, it means if you e-mail me at 7 am, you will most likely not get a response until 3 am the next day.  The time zone really doesn’t Today, due to the weather, I was off work early.  Not many were braving the roads in Fenwick for good reason.  On a side note, I did go to the beach today, it was great.  Very windy, very large waves, very little sand, and NO PEOPLE! I love the hurricane season here.

That being said, I will start with the subject I have had so many e-mails about.  I have heard what you had to say about it, so now I will tell you how I felt about the 9/12 meeting…

I will say I have mixed feelings, and days of thought as well as emails has really not helped me form a more defined opinion.  I came to this meeting with high hopes, and that may have been part of the problem.  A friend of mine, while SCCOR was on it’s downward spiral, had told me that 9/12 put less emphasis on the single person and more emphasis on the issues and accomplishments.  I feel a big part of the reason SCCOR had issues had to do with individuals trying to push their own agendas.  The government pushes its agenda, and I’m sick of that.  And when I say agenda, I don’t mean “hey, lets try to stop public option health care” I mean agenda like maybe I can use this group for my own personal gain.  The only person that I allow to make me feel useless is myself, so I was tired of that attitude. 

Having dealt with a lack of dedication and motivation for a long period of time, I was looking for other groups to be active in when a friend told me about 9/12.  I was pretty excited, as you can imagine, when I heard about the upcoming merge.  I had met Russ and the rest of the head gang at the previous SCCOR meeting and had like what I heard.  I went onto the website and found myself frustrated with the layout.  I guess Andrew Jackson at www.Pooririshman.com is SO much better then I had been giving him credit for!  So I figured I would talk to everyone at the meeting and see what I thought there.

I am, as previously mentioned, always late, so I was late to the meeting.  Apparently, I wasn’t the only one.  The whole group was late.  Now, I don’t want to say anything too negative based on a first impression, but I will say this.  It seemed to me like 9/12 was also a one man show.  I felt that people were not being listened to as m uch as they could have been and others seemed to feel the same. 

In defense of Russ and 9/12:  It is not easy to talk in front of people.  I am well-versed in public speaking, and have no problem with it, but many are not.  It is especially harder to speak in front of people when they are all trying to tell you what to do. 

I will also say something else.  A friend of mine told me he has no hope for this group, and will not attend another meeting.  I, on the other hand, will be there.  I was going to go to the Delaware tea party meeting on Thursday night, but I have class then.  (Why do bi-partison activist groups always seem to meet on Tuesdays or Thursday nights?) 

I am tired of depending on other people to help me accomplish things.  I know that you cannot do everything by yourself, but from this point on, I plan on doing things myself.  I will let others help me, but I will not wait for assistance.  I have a happy little family here, a husband and a cat, and I plan on expanding that family someday.  In order to do so, I have to accept the torch that was passed on to me – founding fathers to their children – and so forth, down to me.  If I want my children to live in the same amazing America that I grew up in, I will have to make the effort and take the time to keep this country great. 

I have found that the Campaign for Liberty attracts a large number of people my age.  Ron Paul inspires many to get involved.  I plan to tap that, and GET PEOPLE ACTIVE.  The 9/12 March on DC was a great inspiration to me.  There were hundreds of thousands of people there my age. 

So this is my final analysis:

 groups will always disappoint.  No group will instantly fufill your every desire to make this country grab its backbone.  The best way to move forward is to take the path provided you and use every advantage it gives you.  Since the meeting, I have been in e-mail contact with a few of the very active people in 9/12 and have been pleased with the information they gave me.  I have the choice to do with that information as I will.  That is the important thing, everyone has the choice to do in life what they will.  As cliche as it sounds, life is what you make it.  America can be what you make it.  And I plan on making it great.  If people keep backing down, it will take time. What I saw at 9/12 helped me see it’s not just me, and this doesn’t have to take time. 

If people want to help American government adhere to the Constitution, SPEAK UP!  I am not embarassed to say I love the Constitution.  If you feel the same, post on here, email me at sussexcountyangel@live.com or contact me via facebook.  I will give you something to focus on, you will have to choose whether America is worth it or not…

9/12 In Sussex

The 9/12 Delaware Patriots had their first Sussex County meeting tonight. . .  I have a few opinions and comments, but first I want to hear some of the feedback from other people.  I know I am the last one to wait and hear what others say before I open my big mouth, but some of this was just too good.

One thing I would like to say immediately is there was a relatively good showing, a great emotional outburst, and a lot of people leaving disappointed… 

I’ll say more about it most likely on Wednesday

I don’t know where to start…

I know it has been quite a while since I have posted anything.  Life has kept me very busy lately and I felt it was appropriate to keep my mouth shut about a few issues.  That being said, I will now let myself run off a little bit. 

On the things that have happened recently, I will say that I am pleased about the SCCOR merge with the 9-12 Delaware Patriots group.  The first Sussex meeting is tomorrow night at the Cheer Center in Georgetown.  The merge should help us get more active members (and hopefully more will be accomplished).  I definately hope to see everyone there.

I would also like to say congratulations to Joe Booth and Ruth Briggs King for their elections.  I hope they represent their respective areas well.  I was very disappointed when I saw they were both attending the Castle thing, but I guess it’s easier said then done to stand up to your GOP and tell them you don’t feel someone is representing your party…

On the 9/12 March on DC, I had a great time.  It was so very refreshing to see that if I am a minority opinion group, at least they are willing to head out together.  It was really a fantastic experience.  Just to see that many people there… I was shocked.  I was in what you could call activist heaven.  I may write more on it at a later date, I may not, but no matter what else I write about it, know I went home happy.

I want to say a few things about Castle and his Senate race.  I cannot believe the nerve of that man.  I really hope he not only is defeated, but by a massive margin.  In my opinion, the fact that he is still calling himself a Republican is laughable.  It’s almost as funny as the fact that the GOP is actually backing him.  I will be voting for anyone other then him.  Cap and trade, really, how do you justify that?  I don’t care about anything else in his voting record.  I want that man OUT OF OFFICE.  I hope others not only agree with that, but let it be known with their votes.  I am going to do whatever I can to help his opposition.  Especially after he ignores all the calls and e-mails not only from me, but from everyone else that keeps him receiving that paycheck. 

And then there is Obama and the Nobel Peace Prize.  I actually thought (and hoped) it was a joke when I first heard.  My father (another Democrat, but one that acually and sadly VOTED for Obama) told me he searched online for any reason Obama was nominated, let alone won, and couldn’t find anything worthy of what the Nobel Peace Prize USED to stand for.  I haven’t started really looking for how people are going to make sure every one is aware of how crazy this is, boycotts, things of that nature, but I will get on that soon.  I’ll make sure I share them with everyone once I get that info.  I feel everything the Nobel Peace Prize stood for is now moot.  I also feel it is a disgrace to people that have deserved this award in the past.  I am glad Norman Borlaug is not alive to see something like this (while I was so pleased about the March on DC, I was at a loss when I heard this controversial humanitarian had passed away).  I am so upset about this I can’t say what I am really thinking.  I want to say some really inappropriate things.  Instead, I will simply say that just when I thought I could not be more upset with people and the mainstream disaffected  walking around, I was unfortunately suprised.

Also, I have recently joined the facebook movement.  If anyone has any advice as to how that whole thing works, feel free to let me know.  I’m not the best with that stuff.

The last thing I would like to add tonight is E-A-G-L-E-S    EAGLES!
