Columbia County Tea Party

It's been just 7 weeks since I founded the Claverack Tea Party. But I soon found that f0lks from other towns in our great county wanted in. At first I resisited wanting to keep it very local but now I'm pumped at allthe energy out there in our county. We've been averaging about four new sympathizers for each week of our existence. The goal of course is to have a Tea Party voting block that can turn a local election one way or another and I include State Assembly in the term "local". But there is no reason that one county especially if coordinating with an active Tea Party group in a neighboring county can't turn the tide in congressional elections as well.

If you've found your way to this site please come back and visit. You may also decide to join us or convince others too if you are already involved. Very soon we will have an e-newsletter called Our Town Too to counter the liberal vantage point of our local mag "Our Town". Thank you again.

Claverack Tea Party

This is now the official page of the Claverack Tea Party in Columbia County New York. It's only been about two weeks since I decided to start this group and I'm getting about one call or e-mail every day. Americas glue are towns just like Claverack and we plan to save America one town at a time from Obamunism. Many thanks to founding members Vince Wallace, Ted Filli, Maryanne Lee, John Lee, Charlie Schram, Catherine Moore and Matt Torrey. I'm told the town of Ghent is doing the same thing that we are. Small town politicians can no longer tell us that the big isses don't matter in our town. We DO care how these people stand on abortion, Israel, excessive taxation, and a host of other national issues because small town politicians want to become our state assembly people ad our congressional leaders. Why give hem a start if they don't have good old fashioned American values? So if you want to help save the great country you grew up in send me, Ed Fertik a message at CYCLELOGICAL@AOL.COM.

Treating terrorist mass murderers as common criminals

You've got to wonder why Eric Holder is so intent on civilian courts for terrorists and reading them Miranda rights even when it's obvious to anyone that there is no public support for this except on the left. Didn't the Massachusetts, Virginia and New Jersey upsets send some sort of message to this administration? Are they just dense, or is there some hidden agenda. The answer is yes....there is a hidden agenda and it's their effort to try Bush and Cheney for "war crimes" or at least label them as such, and if Holder and the far left want to try and pull that off they are one very stupid and two, they must also attempt to set themselves apart from the Bush Administrations way of doing things. How dare the Bushies treat these poor criminals as terrorist mass murderers ! Simply put Holder must do things the stupid unpopular (easy for him) way rather than the way the public prefers to get at the Bushies. The crew in this administration may be going down but they want to get to their enemies list first and the far left is now basically a political Kamikaze machine pushing these willing Marxists along.
