Hello friends and patriots,



Today I went to Raleigh with Hal and Raynor James to stand with fellow patriots in opposition to the leftist rally sponsored by moveon.org, SEIU, and company...so name "taking back the American dream". I just learned about this rally on Friday, so it was really a last ditch effort.

We were outnumbered, however we made up with enthusiasm on our side...and of course, facts. Our group was somewhat older and better behaved. In typical liberal fashion a number crossed the street to inform us dummies of the facts and how wrong we all are. (no one from our side crossed the street...we know a wasted effort when we see it.) We also received the tall finger salute on a number of occasions. The left seemed very angry, and accused us of being selfish and not caring about middle America. They had signs declaring that unions are the future of America, and democracy. I'm sure they have no idea that we are not a democracy, but a Constitutional republic. They had a number of printed signs...all of ours were hand made.

I must admit that I somewhat "lost" it with one of those who crossed the street. She was under the perception that it's all the corporations that don't pay taxes that are the problem, and failed to understand that corporations are made up of people that do pay taxes. Then she proceeded to inform us that our grandfathers were all members of unions. Not true in my case...mine were farmers.

I talked to many folks on our side. Even though all were in good spirits, many expressed their fear that this is the beginning of some nasty stuff, and they had never seen American so divided. (And that's after electing a President that was going to end division and cause the rivers to stop their rise, blah, blah, blah.)

I'm not going to chastise anyone, but I must say that we need to get even better organized or we will lose our country. We must do all we can to educate others, as many of those today came from local universities, and are unfamiliar with our Constitution and what made America great. Schools are feeling our children's heads with a false face of the past, present and future. They fail to understand the basics of Economics or human nature. They fail to see that they are pawns of the Democratic (progressive) party, and just keep paying those union dues, and spouting the party line.

We must start making the hard choices...how important is my country? We need to be a force to be heard. Get informed, talk to people, and do everything you can to make a difference.

Lastly, I can't tell you what a great time the three of us had. It's always so wonderful to talk to real people that love this country enough to travel (on their own dime) and speak up for our freedom. I hope many more of you will join us the next time...and I promise there will be a next time.

Yours in freedom,


Nancy Murdoch
