We had an absolutely inspiring TEA Party event at the Boiling Springs Community Park with Dr Alan Keyes and Mr. Louis Ingram. I did not feel worthy to be on the same stage with these two men that have dedicated their lives to preserving and restoring The Constitution of the United States the way our Founding Father intended, but what an honor.
Almost everyone that I talked to before the event asked me how we were able to get Dr. Keyes to come to Boiling Springs as our key note speaker, truth is there are a couple of reasons. One is that Dr. Christina Jeffery is a friend of Alan's and asked him to come and while this provided us with an avenue of approach, it was not the only reason. Alan wanted to speak at a tea party that would not restrain his message of "Natures God" and the importance our founding fathers gave God in this country when they wrote The Declaration of Independence. Words like, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". People who want to deny the fact that our founding fathers intended God to be at the center of our country are either trying to dilute The Constitution or have never read it. I really don't know why Alan chose to come to Boiling Springs.
Maybe because after reading several editions of this publication he knew the patriotic type people he would be speaking to. People who are not afraid to speak the name of God and people who want to read about God. Maybe it was because the patriotic leadership at Boiling Springs First Baptist Church was eager to have him speak at all 3 services when other large churches shied away, most likely in fear that it would violate the so called separation of church and state. If you want to hear a God filled message about what we Christians should be doing for our country and did not get to hear Alan speak, call the church at 578-2828 and ask for an audio copy. Maybe it was where God told Alan he needed to come and speak. Maybe it was all the above, which is what I think. I know one thing for certain; it was not because of the money. Alan could have scheduled at several other events that would have paid him a lot more than we were able to pay him. This speaks volumes about this man to me, as it should you. Alan Keyes is the real deal and if you were able to be with us at this event, you know that he is as well.
I am very surprised at our local media coverage or should I say lack of media coverage. One newspaper reported that there were several hundred in attendances while another reported 900 to 1000 attended. I don't know how they determined these moderate numbers except by guessing. I am glad that we had the foresight in having people register at this event to get a more accurate number which was 2019, a far cry from what was reported. Praise the Lord!!!
Tell me how our television stations found it more news worthy to cover Michael Jackson's death, for days on end, than it was to cover events all across this country with citizens protesting the socialistic take over of this country. You see this is an attempt at silencing the peoples' voice. Richard Salant, former president of CBS News was quoted to say, " Our job is to give the people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have". It is difficult to understand the mindset of people who believe they have the authority to control the minds of others in this manner. I promise you, our readers that this magazine will continue to print the issues that threaten to take our country down the road to socialism, which is against the very notion of our founding fathers. As I said during my speech, " I will not go quietly into the dark night of socialism, I will be heard and I will do what ever I can to protect our constitution".
I want to thank all of you that came to our Freedom Day Tea Party. I know it was a blessing to you as it was to us. Thanks to all the people who volunteered as staff members, security members and to everyone who helped us set up and break down. I want to especial thank Mr. Cleon Graves and the Boiling Springs Community Park board members for allowing us the use of the park. We also thank, Ryan Bishop for video recording, By Joyce Photography and Images Unlimited Photography, for all the wonderful video and photo graphics. I also want to thank all the people who participated in the event, D.W. Solesbee and the American Sprit Band, Pastor Brian Alverson, Marjorie Jeffery, Ladonna Riggs, Christina Jeffery, Jeff Mitchell, Louis Ingram and of course Dr. Alan Keyes.
This was a great way to share and spread the message of Louis Ingram and Dr. Keyes in an effort to get our country back to the principles our founding fathers intended for us. If you would like for us to provide information to you regarding governmental issues, important bills that are on the floor of the House and Senate as well as up coming events, please provide us with your email address for our database. If you would like to volunteer to help us in maintaining and organizing in anyway, please contact at the email address or phone numbers listed on our website. We need your help to continue the fight against those who attack our freedoms and liberties. No one person can do this alone, but together WE CAN restore this country to the greatest nation the world has ever known.
May God Bless You and May God Continue to Bless The United States of America.
