This is A Time For Courage
April 15, 2009 - 11:49 pm
Ladies and gentlemen, This is a Time For Courage.
We are gathered here today on the Plains of West Texas
in common purpose. We are here to remind our government
that this is our country. We the People are still in charge,
and our government is still our servant and not our master.
Our Nation's founding document is The Declaration of Independence .
It tells us that our rights come from God and not from a
small group of Elite men and women.
Our Constitution starts with the words "We the People." Our
Constitution was written for ordinary Americans like you and
me. Our Constitution protects us from our government
and from the politicians.
Our President has complained that our Constitution gives
ordinary people too much protection. He has ridiculed
us for the high value we place on our Bibles, our guns, our
personal property, and our Liberty . He tells us we do
not deserve to keep the money we have earned.
We are told freedom has not worked. Personal responsibility,
free enterprise, and Liberty have not been effective. Our
government will now make more of our decisions for us.
Other than our military, I can think of not one government
agency I have ever found to be helpful..
And speaking of our military, how about those Navy Seals
blowing the heads off those three terrorist pirates? Don't you just
wish our entire government would function with such
efficiency, professionalism, and courage?
We watch in disbelief as our beloved United States
is weakened economically, militarily, and morally by a Radical
President and his eager accomplices.
What has taken generations to build is systematically
destroyed and replaced with the same Socialist Evil that
brought poverty, destruction, and despair to untold
hundreds of millions.
The problems we face today have occurred because we have
not defended our Nation from Socialism.. For too long we have
allowed the wrong people to make the worst possible decisions.
The Bible warns us of class hatred. The Radical leadership of our
government daily fans the evil flames of class envy.
Our European and Canadian friends beg us to not make the
same Socialist mistakes they did..
The President of the European Union warned our President that
his Socialist economic plans are taking the World down the
"road to Hell."
The path to power for Socialists includes taking God
and guns from the citizens. Without spiritual and physical
protection, people cannot defend themselves and their Liberty .
They soon become slaves.
We are angered that our President apologizes for the
exceptionalism and heroism of the United States of America .
We are deeply troubled that he told others the United States
is not a Christian nation.
We are angered that we have been called cowards and
racists because we oppose Socialism. Socialism is not racial.
Socialism is an equal opportunity destroyer.
We are angered that a recent Department of Homeland Security
report has singled out our military men and women who are returning
home as being radical threats.
The report also characterizes you and me as right-wing
extremists and radicals because we favor smaller government
and lower taxes.
You and I are average citizens who believe just like most of our
fellow Americans. We want our government to leave us
alone and to keep its hands off our money, our religion, or
guns, our private property, and our lives.
We demand that our government stop spending money it
does not have.
Stop confiscating our money and private property.
Stop printing money.
Stop subsidizing Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the other failed
financial institutions and companies.
Mr. President, stop appointing tax cheats to positions of power
and influence. Mr. President, secure our borders.
Mr. President, do not divert money from our missile defense,
F-22 Raptors, and other vital military equipment. This gives
encouragement, aid, and comfort to our enemies.
Protecting us is your number one job.
Mr. President, do not give voting rights to millions of illegal
aliens and felons. You have no more right to create new voters
for your benefit than you do to use our money to buy the
2010 and 2012 Elections.
We gather peacefully here today because there is a growing
concern for what our government is doing to us and to our future.
We fear for the very survival of our Republic.
Yet there is much to make us hopeful and to fill our hearts
with optimism and courage. This is still our country!
The Constitution of the Unites States belongs to We the People.
Our Constitution still protects us from our government.
Call every possible elected official, including our President,
Vice President, and the Speaker of the House.
Demand that they stop stealing our money and giving
it to ACORN and their other political supporters in order to
buy votes.
Call Senators Cornyn and Hutchison, and Representative
Neugebauer. Thank them. Urge them to do much more.
Remind them now is a time for action and not for campaigning.
Volunteer to work on our 2010 Census. Confront ACORN.
Keep our Census honest. We must not allow our President to
take control of our Census for his political advantage.
We must replace as much of our Far Left Congress as
possible in 2010. Get involved. Do not let the ACORN
control our 2010 Election.
Talk with someone every day who does not understand
our nation's history and our great heritage..
Tell them why the United States is a good and prosperous
nation. It still remains that brightly lit city on the hill. It still
is the best hope for all mankind.
Talk with all of the young people you can find.
They are our future. Many do not understand
what they have and that their future is being destroyed.
Encourage your elected State officials to pass legislation
that will protect us from our Federal government. This is a
time for strong peaceful action. Let us pray that We
the People can quickly return our government to its
Constitutional responsibilities.
Our President and Congress were elected to be our
servants and not our masters.
May God help our President and Congress to quickly realize
the error of their ways and stop their reckless and unwarranted
spending, cut our taxes, and reduce the size of our Federal
bureaucracy.
If they do not, may God grant us the courage and determination
to vote them out of power next year.
May God richly bless and protect each of you, and our
Constitution, as together we pursue Liberty !

Dear President Obama
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
