All remaining Petitions must come in NOW

The American Café,

 

If anyone has a Petition out to block Obamacare for Colorado it must come in within an hour. I only got 1 back from the several we handed out. If not you’ll have to drive it to Denver yourself (or find someone who is going to Denver later today.)

 

Go now and get it Notarized, regardless of how many signatures you may have gotten, then take it directly to Clem’s office. Every single signature counts.

 

If you have been working this thank you so much. Many people say that Socialized Health Care is “game over” for the Left making our country into a European-type socialist nation.

 

Warmly,

 

Pete and Adrienne Robberson

Grassroots Training Event coming up

Tea Party Attendees (from April 15^th at Acacia Park),

 

It’s been 3 months since we met you at Acacia Park for the April 15^th Tea Party event. You may remember that we sat under an American Majority banner and handed out hundreds of Pocket Constitutions. We host meetings in our home praying for America and Training Coloradoans to become effective Citizen Activists from home.

 

Some of you signed up asking to be kept in the information loop as other events came up.

 

We have an American Majority Grassroots Training coming up a week from Saturday here in Colorado Springs, on August 7th. Adrienne and I would love to have you come if you can. This is your invitation.

 

This is a four-hour training on Political Action. We already do many of the things we teach in the course at our weekly home groups however this goes much deeper. If you have been unable to attend weekly this may be a way to get in gear in just one day. As you know our goal is to urge Christians and good Citizens to engage through Prayer and Political Action.

 

For all the information click on the following link http://tinyurl.com/28doduo or http://AmericanMajority.org under on the Map, and under Colorado for Training details. To come to this training you’ll need to Register Online. Note that there is a fee paid to American Majority of $25 for attending this Training.

 

Come if you can and tell all your friends to come too. This coming weekend, July 31, I am running a Training down in Pueblo if that is more accessible to you. (We have made numerous overtures to the Pueblo Tea Party and have not gotten much response yet.)

 

Also, this fall we’re expanding again. We will host several home groups and weekly classes on the Constitution and on the book The 5000 Year Leap. We’d love to have you come to any of these. Call or email us for details.

 

These are critical times and we need every hand on deck to battle for our Country and for our Constitution.

Why We Can't Stay Silent

This is why we cannot stay silent anymore...

Correction: $300,000 Payday, Not $300

Bob,

I have not confirmed yet but I heard today that apparently Tancredo has been a huge supporter of McInnis (the Republican insider/Establishment guy) and worked for [in his interest] him until recently. There is speculation that it was Tancredo who leaked the story about Scott’s plagiarism and his $300,000 payday from the Hasan Foundation regarding water rights in Colorado received just after he left office (thereby avoiding the illegality of taking money for work he did as a politician). Tom may have deliberately nuked his buddy or he may be doing this to secure victory for his buddy by suppressing the Maes vote now, just as early voting is happening. Tom has been doing the Tea Party/grassroots circuit too to get face-time with voters-now we understand why. Either way I am sticking with Maes for the next two weeks. Stay Steady!

We’ll see what happens after that.

I didn’t arrive at my support of Maes overnight and won’t believe the attacks and abandon him lightly either.

*Remember that everything that happens during this period when mail-in voting has begun is strategically orchestrated and carefully planned.* this bears repeating…

*Remember that everything that happens during this period when mail-in voting has begun is strategically orchestrated and carefully planned.*

PS. Regarding the online poll it seems that the system will accept multiple votes from the same PC. If Tom’s people know this the results could be anything. (It updates every few minutes)

Corruption on a Bell Curve

“Fiesta de Té”
From: Gary L. Bauer
The liberal elites have been trying to paint the Tea Party movement as racist. But events in a small California city suggest otherwise.

There is a taxpayer/citizen uprising taking place in Bell, California, against corrupt government officials. It has already claimed the scalps of several top city leaders. The liberal media is trying hard to ignore it, but the story is beginning to break out. It’s a story of Big Government excess and greed against a low-income minority community.

Bell is a small city of about 40,000 residents, 10 miles south of Los Angeles. According to various reports, about half its residents are foreign born (mostly Mexican), its per-capita income is just under $25,000 and more than 25% of its residents live below the poverty level.

Somehow this small, impoverished community was paying its city manager more than $787,000 a year. The police chief made more than $450,000 a year, and the assistant city manager was making more than $375,000 a year. The three individuals were the highest paid city officials in the country. Part-time city council members in Bell were making nearly $100,000 a year.

Granted, what was happening in Bell, just one small town in California, is an extreme example. But throughout the country, liberal politicians and public employee unions have been extraordinarily generous with the people’s money. So much so that many towns now can’t afford the bureaucracies that have been built, and entire states like California, Illinois and New York are facing bankruptcy.

But proving that opposition to out-of-control Big Government is not a fringe or racist movement, Bell’s outraged residents took action. They stormed city hall with homemade signs and demands for less spending and smaller government. Given the community’s demographics, many referred to it as a “Spanish Tea Party.”

They formed a group called the “Bell Association to stop the Abuse,” BASTA, which is Spanish for “enough.” The protestors forced the resignation of the city manager, assistant manager and police chief. Yesterday, city council members agreed to slash their salaries by 90%. The mayor and vice mayor announced that they will finish their terms without pay.

A Chilling Warning To Churches

After reporting on the Ground Zero mega-mosque last week, I received a disturbing e-mail from a supporter in Michigan. Evidently, the FBI sent a warning letter to Oakland County churches last week warning them of “suspicious activity.” For those not familiar with Michigan’s geography, Oakland County is just north of Dearborn, often described as America’s most Muslim city. Here is an excerpt of the letter:


“Dear Worship Coordinator:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Oakland County Resident Agency, would like to bring to your attention suspicious activity occurring on several occasions over the last several months at Oakland County places of worship. Visitors to these places of worship have shown particular interest in the layout of the building; have questioned personnel as to where people congregate; when the worship center would be populated; and where Christians could be found in the building.”

That is a chilling warning from the FBI that suggests churches in Oakland County are possibly being cased. A FBI spokesman said there was no indication of a threat, but added, “We’re simply passing along information we received to area churches indicating that suspicious activity is going on, in an abundance of caution.”

More Update on Tom Tancredo Ultimatum

The American Café,

Again, this is from the Elbert County Tea Party on the Tom Tancredo Ultimatum for the other Republican candidates for Governor to step down and give him their support, thereby bypassing the very system of elections we have in Colorado, (not unlike Jane Norton or Walker Stapleton “petitioning on” because of lack of support at the grassroots level.)

We want to keep you in the loop.

Peter and Adrienne Robberson

The American Café-719-573-2193

To The Elbert County Tea Party

July 25, 2010

By now, everyone is aware of the turmoil developing around the Governor's race following the announcement and ultimatum issued by Tom Tancredo. Based on a survey of the Elbert Tea Party, we find that 33% support Mr. Tancredo, while 67% do not. In the overall survey of all the groups his support falls to about 20%. It is not our intent to make any judgment one way or the other in reference to those who support Tom as a person or for Governor, should he follow through with what he has announced he will do. We are part of a large grassroots movement that is gaining in members and strength every day in the nation and here in Colorado, where recent polling shows our State as having the largest number of registered voters who associate themselves with the Tea Party or 912 movement. As part of that movement, we are involved at a state level with the other groups. I attend regular meetings and am in constant communication with those groups, including the largest 912 group, having over 10,000 members.

Our groups have been very active since Mr. Tancredo's surprise announcement, having spent a lot of time seeking the input of our members about how our movement should collectively respond to Tom's apparent intention to enter the Governor's race at this time. First, it should be known that Mr. Tancredo has been considered a friend and ally of the Liberty Movement. As you know, he came to our meeting and received an overwhelming positive response by our group. We have cheered his stand on immigration, his open and honest talk about big government, and we have followed faithfully since his pronouncements last year telling all the Liberty groups to stick by the side of other conservatives and work within the system to bring back conservative leadership to all the offices now up for election. We heard and watched Tom as he told us not to do anything to split our ranks, which would give the liberals and the Democrats an advantage in the political arena, including the Governor’s race.

Up to the moment he made this announcement, it was clear that he and our movement were on the same page. We followed, we trusted and we agreed that we had important races to win, and that remains the main focus in the Liberty, Tea Party and 912 groups. While we remain individuals with different preferences, we all value another core principle of our movement, to respect the will of the people. Then came the bombshell announcement. With that moment, all that we had believed and trusted, all that we stood for, fell under a dark cloud. We had someone that we had looked up to issuing an ultimatum to the chosen candidates on the Republican ticket. He is now saying he will step outside the party that he has been loyal to for his whole public life, and that he will in effect split the ticket, thus running off the people's candidates if we do not meet his demands. We are shocked and disappointed.

We as a collective coalition of Liberty groups from the western slope to Ft. Collins, out to the eastern plains and down to southern Colorado, have prepared a position statement that is being delivered to Tom Tancredo today and is being released to the media this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. It states that we are anxious to save our valued relationship with Mr. Tancredo but need him to reconsider his ultimatum to the people’s choice for Governor. He needs to realize the consequences of following through on his threat to enter the race. While there was a time at the State Assembly when many would have supported his candidacy, he himself choose to decline. The people of this state who have invested their time, their money and placed their belief in the system did so with the trust that one of our own would not do anything to negate their participation, which Mr. Tancredo’s actions have done.

Finally, all those who understand the high-stakes of this year’s election know that all Tom can accomplish should he follow through and run as a 3^rd Party candidate, is to split off enough of the Republican votes to ensure that Mayor Hickenlooper wins the Governors mansion. While we admit to our affection and respect for Tom, including recognizing his ability to lead Colorado as Governor under different circumstances, this is not the time, place or way to do that. We know that the grassroots support that we believe he took into account in making this decision is simply not going to materialize. In fact, the overall support will not be there, without which he will have done only harm to our cause and to our chances of winning in November.

In closing, I signed the letter to Tom Tancredo letting him know that we oppose his decision and his apparent intent to run for Governor at this time. I recognize that we have members who have responded to my survey saying they support Tom’s decision. But, as with all things, the majority agrees with the letter from the Liberty groups-at some point a stand has to be taken. We are not attacking Tom Tancredo as a person. We are in opposition to the principle of what he is doing, that being to circumvent the system we have in place to elect our leaders. The people have spoken in the State Assembly, in their communities and through their respective party. There is a lot to fix in our political system, but to simply disregard the folks who have participated in the Assembly, resulting in the selection of Dan Maes and Scott McInnis, is to say their voices do not matter. This violates the very core of what we as free, liberty loving people believe in.

Respectfully

Robert P. Rowland

Chairman, Elbert County Tea Party

9-12 Alert: Open letter to Congressman Tancredo & Flash Polling Results

The American Café and Colorado District 16C if you are interested:

Because I sent out an alert regarding Tom Tancredo’s ultimatum for both candidates for governor to step down and get out of the way for him to run instead-or that he would join the Constitutional Party, I am sending a follow up.

See the results of the heartbeat of the grassroots movement in Colorado to know if and how such a move would affect their votes: As you can see everyone is sticking with Dan Maes, some with McInnis and virtually zero with Tom.

I wanted you to know.

Warmly,

Peter and Adrienne Robberson, The American Café, 573-2193

9-12 Pikes Peak Patriots 9-12 Pikes Peak Patriots, District 5, LLC A message to all members of 9-12 Pikes Peak Patriots For all: By now, many have you have heard the news that Congressman Tom Tancredo issued an ultimatum to both GOP candidates for Governor to drop out of the race by noon today, that he be installed as the selected candidate or he will join the American Constitution Party and run against whomever the People select. Last night, 20 Liberty groups from across Colorado asked him to reconsider his position (Letter Links at end of e-mail). Most all of us have great respect for the Congressman and what he has accomplished in his service to the people of Colorado. This has nothing to do with his ability to be Governor, but it has everything to do with the process and how his possible choice is undermining everything many of you have worked for over the last year and a half. In the summer of 2009, the Chairman of the Colorado GOP asked leaders from The 9-12 Project to come to Denver to get to understanding of what the 9-12 Project was and what we hoped to accomplish. Congressman Tancredo was in that meeting and challenged us not to leave the Party, but to change it and to bring it back to the core conservative values we all share. The Congressman reiterated this in an open letter to 9-12 activists and Tea Party Patriots in Dec 2009 when he said, ”Yes, over the last decade, many individuals left the Republican Party because George Bush led the national party to abandon its principles and support several big government programs. But leaving the party is not the answer. Fighting for your principles and reshaping the party is the answer.” He goes on and issues this warning, “"Some patriots are tempted to launch a third political party or back one of the existing small parties that never attract more than one or two percent of the vote in state races. I strongly believe that such a course is suicidal and would only result in splitting the conservative vote and guaranteeing the re-election of liberals and socialists." (Letter Link end of e-mail) All over Colorado, 9-12 members and like minded individuals took up this challenge and heeded his warning. We did not abandon the Party; we stayed. Many of our unaffiliated and Libertarian members joined the GOP for just this year to work within the system to advance the conservative cause in beating back the Progressive cancer that is destroying America both in Washington and in Denver. We know the window to Restore America is closing and we know our best chance to defend her is through the path we have chosen; not for a Party, but for conservative values. For the last 18 months, you have worked tirelessly to improve the process. You have given of your time and money to move the process forward to the desired end result. You took up the Congressman's challenge and became delegates and have chosen candidates that you believe to best represent your values and principles. It is, in part, through his inspiration, the People have begun to retake the reins of government. We are enduring a government that no longer respects the People. For 18 months, we have seen Federal and State governments enact laws in direct defiance to the will of the People. They do this because they believe we are too stupid to decide what's best for ourselves and our families and that we have no choice but to accept their rule. In the face their defiance of the People, you have answered by standing up and loudly saying “enough is enough”. No more of Government deciding whats best for us. No more of government elitists separated from the realities of everyday struggles of work and raising families by legislated privilege and exemption from deciding for you. You have decided the time is now to stand up and say,“Government works for us, we do not answer to them”. Yet, Congressman Tancredo in his ultimatum says you, the People, made the wrong choice. You don't know what you are doing. By demanding that both candidates step down and he be appointed as the candidate or he will run under a minor party ticket, he has gone down the dangerous road of those that believe the People are too stupid to decide. Congressman Tancredo issued the challenge of not leaving the Party, but to change it. He knew and we accepted that it was only through this effort that we could prevent a split within the movement that in his words would be “suicidal”. We accepted a minor party or third party run would do nothing but “ guaranteeing the re-election of socialists." America is at a cross roads. You have seen what is coming and you have answered the call. We hope that the Congressman remembers why you have and once again joins us in the fight to Restore America.

Domestic Terrorism On The Rise

Domestic Terrorism On The Rise-by Gary Bauer

Zachary Chesser, 20, of Fairfax, Virginia, was arrested this week and charged with domestic terrorism. Was Zachary a member of the NRA? Was he a pro-life demonstrator? An anti-illegal immigration activist? Or, worse, a Tea Party member? No, he was none of those things. Like so many before him, Chesser is a convert to the “religion of peace.”

Despite living in one of the wealthiest communities in America, just outside of Washington, D.C., Zachary Chesser was charged in federal court this week with trying to join the jihadist group Al-Shahab, based in Somalia. Earlier this month, Al-Shahab claimed responsibility for the bombing in Uganda that killed 75 people for the “sin” of watching the World Cup soccer games.

ABC News reported yesterday that in the past 18 months, 34 Americans have been charged for having ties to international jihadist groups. Richard Clarke, a former White House counterterrorism adviser, told ABC, “This is what we have feared for a very long time – that finally the ideology of radical Islam is effectively reaching into the United States… In the last six to nine months, the FBI has seen more domestic Islamist extremist activity than at any time since immediately right after 9/11.”

While the Left hyperventilates over the alleged racism and potential threats posed by the Tea Party, it is ignoring a far more serious and growing threat – radical Islam in America.

And while we’re on that subject, Andrew Bostom has a disturbing column in today’s New York Post linking the imam of the proposed Ground Zero mega-mosque to extremist Wahhabi teachings. As Bostom notes, “This fact alone should compel Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Mayor Bloomberg to withdraw their support for the proposed mosque.”

A number of folks have emailed in recent weeks asking what they can do in their communities about the growing threat of radical Islam. Here’s one idea – find out what is in your children’s textbooks and take action. Chances are the books are biased against Christianity and Judaism and present a highly sanitized version of Islam.

I wrote about this issue last year, and today I learned that the Texas Board of Education may consider a resolution at a September meeting to address many of the concerns I raised. God bless Texas!

ACTION ITEM: Click here to e-mail the Texas State Board of Education to express your support for the Rives Resolution. Be certain to request that your message is sent to all board members.

Wallbuilders' David Barton Endorses Ken Buck for Senate

The American Café,

Guys this is significant. This should tell you everything you need to know about our Senate Race here in Colorado.

Please work for (the candidate of your choice). This Primary is a big, big deal and is crucial to change the direction WITHIN the Party. We’ll tackle the General Election race afterwards but for now it’s all about the Primary. We MUST get fierce constitution-defending candidates into positions within our Party and shatter the incumbency control of our nominations.

If you don’t know what you can do to work for and help (the candidate of your choice) I have contact information and ideas for you. Email me individually.

Pray hard. Work hard. Pray some more.

Peter and Adrienne Robberson

PS. Regarding the Governors Race in Colorado and the circus it is becoming: Adrienne and I and the Grassroots activists that we know are continuing to support Dan Maes. We have a dozen of well informed reasons for doing so if you are interested in our opinion. Vote however you wish but we are not distracted by the Tancredo, McInnis, Maes thing.

Dr. David Barton Endorses Ken Buck for U.S. Senate

Denver, CO—Author and historian, Dr. David Barton endorsed Republican Ken Buck for U.S. Senate today.

In a statement, Barton said—

“America was founded upon the principles of moral integrity, inalienable rights, fiscal responsibility and individual liberty. Ken Buck believes these truths as they were expressed in our original documents as 'unalienable rights' or natural law. He understands, as our founding fathers understood, that to sustain a strong social order and a stable democratic government we must promote a broad public ethic and respect the original intent set forth in our founding documents.

"Ken has led a positive, grassroots campaign that has energized the Colorado voters to stand up against the progressive movement that has swept across our nation. When we elect people of sound character to represent us in Washington, we choose to bring America back to its strength & prominence.
I am pleased to endorse Ken Buck in the Colorado U.S. Senate race.”

“I’m honored to receive Dr. Barton’s endorsement,” said Buck. “Dr. Barton has recognizes the importance of this election. This is more great news for our grassroots campaign.”

David Barton is the Founder and President of WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization that presents America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on our moral, religious and constitutional heritage.

Obama's Affirmative Action...for Muslims!?

Obama's appointees around the country are pushing, elevating, promoting, preferring, encouraging, favoring and celebrating Islam in every corner of our Country, our laws and our culture. This is to the exclusion and many times replacement of the 300+ year tradition of our country as a broadly Judeo-Christian nation.

The lie is that this is done out of tolerance to Islam. The fact is that it is deliberately promoting one particular religion over all the others; that of Islam over every other one. Obama's motive is certainly a matter for serious debate, especially given hhis background as a Muslim. And given that our single most identifiable enemy in the ENTIRE WORLD right now is the radicalized Muslim through the teaching within their religion of JIHAD (Holy War). This comes in Three forms: Violent armed attack/political jihad, Religious Jihad, and Financial Jihad also known as Sharia Financing.

We must start talking about this...and quick! Why is this Administration Actively Promoting Islam throughout our country? Does Obama have the right? Does he have the authority to do this? Is Islam now a disadvantaged Religious group that it needs a handicap to level the playing field against Christianity to catch up to a 300 year late start? Is Christianity the ruling religion that needs to be taken down a notch to teach it a lesson? If Obama is a "Christian" does anyone find it odd that his natural inclination is not to revere or protect his own profoundly held Biblical beliefs but rather to labor diligently to advance the very enemy of his own country and his own faith?
