Isn’t it an interesting coincidence that the Democrat controlled Senate abandoned their 1,924-page catchall spending measure laced with billions of dollars in earmarks on the 127th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party? - - -

December 16 American Minute quote from Missouri Conservative author Bill Federer…….

The Boston Tea Party took place DECEMBER 16, 1773, just three years after the Boston Massacre, where the British fired into a crowd, killing five.

The British passed unbearable taxes:
1764 Sugar Act -taxing sugar, coffee, wine;
1765 Stamp Act -taxing newspapers, contracts, letters, playing cards and all printed materials;
1767 Townshend Acts -taxing glass, paints, paper; and
1773 Tea Act.

While American merchants paid taxes, British allowed the East India Tea Company to sell a half million pounds of tea in the Colonies with no taxes, giving them a monopoly by underselling American merchants.

Disguised as Mohawk Indians, a band of patriots called Sons of Liberty, led by Sam Adams, left the South Meeting House toward Griffin's Wharf, boarded the ships Dartmouth, Eleanor and Beaver, and threw 342 chests of tea into the harbor.

The men of Marlborough, Massachusetts, declared:
"Death is more eligible than slavery. A free-born people are not required by the religion of Jesus Christ to submit to tyranny, but may make use of such power as God has given them to recover and support their liberties...

We implore the Ruler above the skies that He would bare His arm...and let Israel go."

In all fairness to Scott Rupp, he did attend the Lincoln County TEA Party on June 19th. I have a video of him being dunked at the dunking booth. I emailed his website to see if they wanted me to send them the video but I never heard from them.

Congress has already investigated ACORN but can’t get legislation passed –

U.S. House of Representatives
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud. Both structurally and operationally, ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate.

NOW CONGRESS MUST PASS HR 2715, TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND ANTI-FRAUD ACT OF 2009 AND STOP FUNDING ACORN COMPLETELY! Say “NO” to ACORN receiving any more stimulus money!!!!!
