Tea Party in Bradford

Blaise Dornisch of the Elk County Tea (Taxed Enough Already) Party Chapter talks to a full house at the Greater Bradford Senior Activity Center Monday night. This was the first meeting of the Bradford Chapter. Dornisch is holding up a pocket-sized copy of the US Constitution, and says everyone should have a copy of it, and read it. He said, step by step, the government is
dismantling the constitution and the liberties it was intended to protect. The answer, he says, is to get rid of most of the politicians in Harrisburg and Washington. He did say that, so far, Congressman Glenn Thompson and state representatives Marty Causer and Matt Gabler are doing a good job.

In the article in the Bradford Era, the organizers stated the group was not affiliated with any political party, but it is obvious that they have leanings towards the Republican party. How can this group be trusted if they are not up front about there agenda?

Why was this important story not in the Bradford ERA?!?!?!?

Democrats have a reputation for raising taxes and raising spending. Republicans (at one time) were reputed to be against raising taxes and raising spending. So the "Taxed Enough Already" Party has to appear to lean in a Republican Party direction.

The U.S. Declaration of Independence recognizes the people the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If you think that Welfare, Health Care and a spouse (of whatever gender) should be included in happiness, I must remind you of the word pursuit. Otherwise, liberties will be taken to give some of us Health Care and a spouse pretty much the same way taxes are taken to give some of us Welfare.

Welfare is not the crutch that some people think it is. With this trying econimic time and lack of jobs in McKean County, some people are forced to take state aid. I am arguing that the Tea Party groups committed subterfuge by stating that they had no political affliation, and then presented themselves as a conservative group. If a group has to lie to get attention and potential membership, then it is not a worthwhile group for anyone, in any political party to be associated with.

Natasha, I was not blaming people for needing the aid that they take. I have paid into and collected "unemployment" in the past.

Some of the "Republicans" (In Name Only) are not as "Conservative" as some of the (Blue Dog) "Democrats" are.

I was not at the meeting, but I would hope that you (Natasha and everyone who was there) could let the rest of us know what thoughts you had after attending the meeting.

The Tea Party is against anything that is not Constitutional; therefore, they object to both parties when they aren't following that document. They lien more to the Republican side, but do not agree entirely with them and I have heard them disagree with them. They would support any candidate that follows the constitution as written and listens to the people they are supposed to represent. The constitution is being ignored by many in both parties. The Tea Party wants to get back to government by the people for the people. The present parties have not listened to the people they represent and until they do, the tea party is necessary. They must hear what we have to say. Big government is the problem. We need a smaller federal government. The states are supposed to do what isn't granted the federal government in the constitution. Spending needs cut.
