Successful Tea Party Movement Must Include Pro-Life Issues, Not Just Economy
by Tom Glessner
Political change is blowing in the wind but it is not the change promised by Barack Obama when he ran for the presidency. For sure, Obama has brought political change to the nation, but his transformational policies have meant bigger government, higher taxes, federal subsidies of abortion on demand, and greater governmental control over the lives of American citizens.

Hundreds of thousands of citizens across the nation have raised their voices to protest Obama’s policies of change. They are crying out for a different change that will honor the integrity of each individual and create an atmosphere where true liberty in all spheres of life – economic, cultural, and spiritual- reigns. Political pollsters are now predicting a huge seismic shift in the political landscape this November. The recent Glenn Beck sponsored rally in Washington D.C., attended by thousands upon thousands of grass roots activists, indicates that this public outcry of protest is real and powerful.

The Tea Party movement is comprised of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents from all walks of life. The political ruling elite, the corporate world, and the media have completely failed to comprehend this populist movement dismissing it as marginal, extreme and even racist. However, this movement is not composed of ignorant and bigoted individuals, as suggested by the political class. Rather, it is an authentic grassroots movement of thoughtful and patriotic people demanding real change from an out-of-touch political establishment.

The Tea Party movement, for the most part, centers its protest on economic issues and concern about the loss of freedom that an ever-growing federal government brings. These concerns are valid and appropriate. Most leaders of this movement also believe in the sanctity of life and the need to halt the wholesale destruction of innocent human life through abortion and other life related issues such as embryonic stem cell research. However, many in the Tea Party movement have made it clear that while they are sympathetic with the pro-life cause, the abortion issue is not formally part of the Tea Party agenda.

Three Days Left To Do The Very Best We Can‏
We are moving the launch of our next lobby campaign against Amnesty back to next Monday so we can focus our time on the events of Sat. Nov. 14. We feel this will be a better time strategically and we want to organize the new support coming in from the Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration into the new lobbying campaign! Thanks to your efforts, our pro-illegal alien opposition is already falling back! President Obama and the pro-Amnesty U.S. Senators have already fallen back into the 2010 timetable for their legislation to grant Amnesty and voting rights to 15 million illegal aliens. In the U.S Congress, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) has fallen back past his earlier promise to file an Amnesty bill by the end of October. With the news reports coming out of D.C., it appears that House Democrats in swing districts are begging their leadership NOT TO PURSUE this legislation at all. Gutierrez's latest move is to plan a big announcement AFTER our protests. He has notified his illegal alien child army of volunteers to tune in for a big meeting or press conference on November 19! Traitor Gutierrez knows that each day he falls back the chances that Americans will defeat his Amnesty plans go up! LET'S KEEP PUSHING THEM BACK! We only have three days left to do our very best with the historic protests against Amnesty and illegal immigration set up across America for you on Saturday, Nov. 14. ALIPAC supporters told us they wanted these and we have delivered! Now it is up to you to make this effort a success. Please consider the following steps.

1. Locate the Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration (TPAA) protest nearest you and make plans to attend this Nov. 14. Full details of each event are at www.AgainstAmnesty.com
2. Check the details at www.againstamnesty.com as some locations and times may shift. We plan to provide you with more details on each event soon. Some events are simple sign and flag gatherings and others have guest speakers.
3. Use your e-mail contact lists, the "Tell Others Feature", and your Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace accounts to spread the word about www.AgainstAmnesty.com and get people to sign up. Pay close attention to the number of people signed up on the site. WE WANT THAT NUMBER ABOVE 5,000 by SAT. NOV. 14. It is up to you to decide if we make that goal.
4. Try to persuade friends, family members, and neighbors to accompany you to the nearest TPAA.
5. The most important thing is to be physically present at one of these events. If you can, bring American flags, state flags, or other appropriate flags and signs. If you are looking for sign ideas and online resources to help you print signs, please visit this link where our activists will be gathering and updating sign suggestions for you over the next three days... http://www.alipac.us/ftopict-177663.html
6. Get the word out on talk radio by calling into shows. ALIPAC is trying hard to get national media exposure for these historic events but despite numerous press releases, no response yet from the MSM. If you have the time, please contact these sources with a note asking them to please COVER THE TEA PARTIES AGAINST AMNESTY AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION BEFORE NOV. 14. Perhaps if a few hundred of you contact them they will listen and respond?

7. Please take cameras and video recorders to these events. We will form a collection point online where you can share your pictures and videos with others around the nation.
8. Please thank the event organizers when you go. You can reach them to offer your support beforehand using CONTACT ORGANIZER on the Events Location page at www.AgainstAmnesty.com These people are working hard to provide these events for you and they deserve a lot of thanks and support.
9. Remember that some of these events will be well attended and some will be smaller gatherings. Please make sure everyone knows that these November 14, 2009 events are a prelude to much larger scale operations in the Spring of 2010, when this will be the top topic of discussion in America. Please make sure everyone you see at these events knows they need to sign up to support ALIPAC and NumbersUSA and the other supporting groups to help us lobby against Amnesty and illegal immigration NEXT WEEK! We will try to get a flier together to help you do this.
10. Our Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration are for all Americans of every race, political party, and faith that make up the 80% of Americans who oppose Amnesty. Any racist or radical groups such as the National Council of La Raza (The Race), MS-13, the KKK, Neo Nazis, MALDEF, LULAC, or Brown Berets are NOT WELCOME. If you see any person, literature, or signs that are indicative of these racist groups, notify the event organizer so they can be removed quickly by police. Below is our most current list of events, times, and location.

Please get everyone you can signed up at www.AgainstAmnesty.com and check back there often for the latest updates, news, and event information. http://www.againstamnesty.com/event_locations.html
FINAL DEADLINE TO ADD EVENTS IS 10pm Eastern Time TONIGHT November 11. If you want to add an event location BEFORE THE DEADLINE e-mail your intended location and times along with your contact info to info@againstamnesty.com or call (866) 703-0864
