I know the Tea Party movement is a non-partisan one, but as a person who attends Tea Party meetings, I know the mindset of the Tea party groups are for fiscal responsibility and personal freedoms. Many of the people who go to the meetings are Independents, Libertarians and Republicans. Quite a few are Democrats that are thinking (if not already) jumping ship and changing their political affiliation. As a Libertarian, more of us need to attend these meetings and inform the people that there’s another choice than the two parties.

We see from the work being done on the health care bill, it’s a matter of one politician voting on something for a kick-back or a favor later down the road. We need to get the word out that the true Free-American political party are the Libertarians. The free market, free trade, smaller government, true liberty, personal freedom, Constitutional-abiding type of government that this country was founded on.

On Monday, January 18, 2010, the Ocala Tea party (along with some surrounding area chapters), are having a rally in Ocala. Since the day is a national holiday in observance of Martin Luther King, Everyone should be off from work and make it their business to go to this Rally. Not only for the Tea Party movement, but also for the sake of this great country. I know there are many in the Marion County area that feel the same as I do about the direction of this country and as Americans, we need to show support so the media will take notice. At the same time, we (Libertarians) need to be heard at this rally. I spoke with Alex Snitker (Libertarian candidate for the U.S. Senate) and he said that he was waiting for a reply from Mary or Butch (Tea Party Solutions), to speak at the event. Hopefully he will get the opportunity to do so.

The Tea Party movement has come so far in just a short time. Libertarians can and will do the same.
