Having donated countless hours and resources fighting for conservative causes over the last 25 years, I just wasn't motivated to attend any of the Tax Day Tea Parties last week... Maybe watching the Obama administration's quick dismantling of our nation had put me into a defeatist mindset.

Then I turned on the television Wednesday evening and watched as thousands and thousands of Americans from coast to coast took to the streets to demand that their government hear them and address their concerns... I was moved and for the first time in a while I felt encouraged that maybe we had one last opportunity to preserve America for the next generation.

Most of the pontificators in the media missed it! While lowering taxes was certainly part of focus of those attending the Tea Parties, the underlying issue is personal liberty. Freedom from a tax code so confusing that even the lawmakers who wrote it can't understand it... freedom from an all-powerful government encroaching into every aspect of our lives from child rearing and education to the types of food we eat to the color we can paint our houses. America is saying enough!

Despite the downplaying of the Tea Parties by the likes of liberal news outlets MSNBC and CNN, a strong possibility exists that the tea parties could become something more and the left knows it. That's why they were so quick to attempt to demoralize those who were excited by the protests.

But there is hope... at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, many scholars believe that only five percent or less of the population of the colonies at the time were actually in favor of breaking with Great Britain. A movement that started small and was dismissed by most grew quickly, and we know the eventual outcome.

Since last Wednesday I've had numerous people ask me... "How do we keep the momentum going and grow this Tea Party movement into something more?"

Here's the fact of the matter... a huge percentage of the U.S. population has no clue about what goes on in the nation. So the secret to expanding and furthering our cause of liberty is education. You must talk with your friends and give them hard facts about what their government is doing and how it impacts their lives.

Invite them to listen to shows like we air here on NewsTalk AM 1270 such as Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, and Monica Crowley. Share news and information from web sites, books and publications you trust. A perfect example is Imprimis, a monthly newsletter published by Hillsdale College. You can sign up to have Imprimis delivered to your home for free at Hillsdale.edu - just click on the Imprimis button at the bottom of the page.

Another thing you can do personally is to stop spending money with businesses that support and donate money to liberal progressive causes... A perfect example here is Progressive Insurance Company. Yep, that's where the name came from. Their chairman donates millions to liberal progressive causes and candidates. We must defund the left and instead go out of our way to support those businesses that support freedom.

I truly believe we are living a line from Don McLean's prophetic song American Pie... "The players tried to take the field, but the marching band refused to yield." We are the marching band... we are the patriots... and we will not yield to the New World Order players who wish to enslave us all.

That's my opinion, we welcome yours... Thanks for listening and I'll see you next Monday... for a complete transcript of this morning's comments, go to NewsTalk1270.com (End of complete transcript of commentary that aired on NewsTalk AM 1270 - WYXC at 7:35 AM Monday, April 20, 2009)
