Another unsigned blast email THIS MUST STOP!

There should be NO unsigned emails of ANY SORT going out to membership. I don't care how innocuous it is - if its telling me your cat just had kittens, you should put your name to it.

Is there anyone else who sees this as a problem?

I do not want to belong to a faceless organization. If you send me an email, you better put your name on it. Or is this really an organization where a select few speak for the entire group? If so, I'll happily search for some other group of which to be a member.

Its cowardly and quite frankly, exactly what the leftist commie groups do to shield themselves in secrecy.

A Follow up to the email in question

Who wrote the email:

A message to all members of TeaParty.org


?

Why would you not sign it? Why would you say its from "TeaParty.org" when I thought the whole idea behind this organization was that it isn't some faceless group, but rather a collection of individual concerned citizens?

Yes, I'm calling this person out. STAND UP AND ADMIT YOU WROTE IT! SAY WHO YOU ARE SO THAT THE ENTIRE MOVEMENT IS NOT SMEARED BY YOUR HATEFUL EMAIL.

Everyone here, and I mean EVERYONE should be concerned that this type of email is not attributed to anyone individual but rather the entire group.

I have no problem signing my name, whoever wrote this should stand up and take responsibility for their words.

So who wrote it?

I received the following email from the Tea Party:


A message to all members of TeaParty.org

Can You Say This?

I Am the Liberal-Progressive's Worst Nightmare! I am an American.I believe in God. I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and believe inAmerican products.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some liberalgovernmental functionary, Democratic or Republican! I'm in touch withmy feelings and I like it that way! I think owning a gun doesn't makeyou a killer; it makes you a smart American. I think being a minoritydoes not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you toanything. Get over it!

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, you should do it inEnglish. I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God whenand where they want to. My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, RoyRogers, and Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley DavidsonMotorcycles

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know wrestling is fakeand I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it. I've neverowned a slave, nor was a slave. I haven't burned any witches or beenpersecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!

So, shut up already. I believe if you don't like the way things are here,go back to where you came from and change your own country!

This is AMERICA. We like it the way it is If you were born here and don'tlike it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will haveyou. I want to know which church is it, exactly, where the ReverendJesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is alwayspart of the problem and not the solution.

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license. I thinkit's good.... And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't wantyou deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in theworld for the next four years. I dislike those people standing in theintersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making'donations' to their cause......Get a Job and do your part!

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes twoparents. I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyersthink. I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed inAMERICA!

If this makes me a GOOD American, then yes, I'm a GOOD American.
If you are a GOOD American too, please forward this to everyone you know...

We want our country back!


Is there anyone else who has a problem with some of this? We are not only losing support, but more importantly, our American Values if we subscribe to ALL of these ideas.


First: If someone is a liberal progressive or not, we are not their nightmares. We are not enemies of our fellow Americans. We are the ones who must show the errors of their beliefs.


Second: Are we really attacking minorities and saying "Get over it?" THAT IS NOT WHAT BEING AN AMERICAN IS! What do I believe? That no matter WHAT color skin you have or heritage, you have the same opportunities here as anyone else. Nobody gets special treatment. ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.


Third: I don't care in what language you sell me a Big Mac. If I don't speak that language, I'll go buy from someone who does. If its a private enterprise, you can run it any way you want. WE CANNOT DEMAND PEOPLE SPEAK ENGLISH OUTSIDE OF OFFICIAL FUNCTIONS!


Fourth: I *do* pity the poor. The government has trapped them in poverty and instead of enabling them to pursue their own economic goals, they government has made them dependent on the state. THIS MUST BE A CENTRAL ISSUE TO WIN OVER HEARTS AND MINDS! The Government must be restrained so that the individual may flourish!


Fifth: Do not denigrate people who solicit for their causes. THIS COUNTRY'S GREATEST STRENGTH IS ITS CHARITY! It doesn't matter if its on the phone, at a fund raiser or on the corner. If you don't want to give, don't give, but do not EVER tell someone they shouldn't ask for their cause.


Sixth: DO NOT SAY THAT ONLY THE AMERICAN FLAG SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN AMERICA! We have a diverse heritage and we should be able to celebrate that. If I want to fly an Italian flag, I will fly an Italian flag (always giving reverence to the American flag when displayed together).


This email, if typical of the Tea Party, is going to drive a lot of us away. This country was not built on anger, but on the belief that we can do better.


Maybe I shouldn't be in this organization if this is what the Tea Party believes.
