We the Spencer - Tea Party Patriots are here to stay

A couple of weeks ago, several of us helped Iowa Gun Owners (IGO) go door to door in Council Bluffs with fliers on IGO Real Right To Carry Bill they are trying to get through both Houses out of Committee to the floor for a vote (SF 473 and HF 596). The fliers tell how Gronstal claims to be pro-gun but really is not. Although he has taken money from the NRA, he has done nothing to promote 2nd amendment rights. Our actions and pressure are working. See below from Aaron Dorr of IGO. This Saturday is the Legislative Coffee at the Council Bluffs LIbrary at 9am. Please come and fill out a question card asking Gronstal why he won't sponsor SF 473, the Real Right To Carry Bill, if he really does support the 2nd Amendment. As a follow up, you can ask Gronstal why he threw our petitions on the floor in the Capitol without even looking at them? Gronstal has also publicly stated he will not let the marriage amendment come to a vote this session. Ask him why he won't let his constituents vote? Let's keep up the pressure on Gronstal.

Here's Gronstal's contact info to let him no this is unexceptable behavior and not what Iowans want. See the pictures below.

(Pardon the quality but the photos below speak for themselves.)	IGO Executive Director Aaron Dorr and Democrat Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal talking.

IGO Executive Director Aaron Dorr (at middle right holding yellow petitions) speaks to Senator Gronstal.	After receiving another non-answer from the Senator, IGO Executive Director Aaron Dorr (at right) delivers a stack of hundreds of signed petitions to Senator Gronstal.

Democrat Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal accepts the petitions from Aaron Dorr..	(Senator Gronstal (at left) hurls hundreds of 2nd Amendment petitions to the floor in disgust. The papers are seen in the lower right corner moving so fast that the camera had a hard time capturing their motion. And no, the man sitting down and using a laptop is not a staffer who just 'missed' the throw.) This is our government in action and just how they do business. The arrogant and unprofessional way Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal acts. Is this the way a Senate Majority Leader should be acting. It's time for some hope and change and remove this guy from office.

Where does Gronstal get his money

The Broken Common Bond

THOMAS PAINE argues for a restoration of the common bond over diversity

Great Quotations

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. --Harry S. Truman

"Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others. . .they send forth a ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." -- Robert F. Kennedy

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." --Thomas Jefferson

Dedication:

I was born an American. I live as an American; I shall die an American; and I intend to perform the duties incumbent upon me in that character to the end of my career. I mean to do this with absolute disregard to personal consequences. What are the personal consequences?

What is the individual man with all the good or evil that may betide him, in comparison with the good and evil which may befall a great country, and in the midst of great transactions which concern that country's fate? Let the consequences be what they will, I am careless, No man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer or if he fall, in the defense of the liberties and Constitution of his country.

...Daniel Webster

The American's Creed

"I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my Country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."
