Washington tea party

and our Constitution we went to pro
tect.
Thomas Jefferson said, "All tyranny
needs to gain a foothold is for people of
good conscience to remain silent."
We are going to remain silent no
more.

The Tea Party in Washington, D.C.
last weekend was massive... depending
on who's telling the story.
But I don't think we should continue
the argument of 'how many of us were
there', no, we need to let our govern
ment know WHO was actually there
and WHY we were there!
Moms, dads, grandparents, children,
teenagers, young adults, old adults,
liberals, conservatives! People with dis
abilities, healthy people.
People who had the money to make
the trip, people who didn't have the
money to make the trip but were driv
en to D.C. by others who also shared
their food with them so they could be
there.
White skin, black skin, yellow skin,
brown skin. People of all religions, peo
ple with no religion. It didn't matter!
We came together united for a cause...
to challenge big government.
To challenge taxes that are too high
and out of control spending.
Yes, health care needs to be fixed
but slow down and do it right! The list
is much too long.
A peaceful protest, every time we
would sing patriotic songs, tears would
flow down the cheeks of many. We
understood, we came together to help
our country, it was very emotional and
gratifying.
Many new friends were made, tele
phone numbers and e-mail addresses
were traded.
We marched for ourselves, for our
families, for those who could not be
there, for the troops who died for our
country, for those who are still fighting
the war.
We will continue the cause, if the
politicians do not change... we will vote
them out in the next election, that is
our pledge!
There is talk of another Tea Party
in D.C. if it happens I'll be there... with
more friends.

To add my 2 cents, I was there and
will verify every word (you just read).
There were people of every age - the
largest group was probably the 30-45
age group. So, now they are elderly?
according to some in the media.
Look at the pictures - you’ll see
middle America of all ages.
It was NOT a Health Care rally - it
was a rally against excessive spending
(by both sides) - against big govern
ment - against trying to Socialize our
nation,
We had a central theme of ‘We The
People” — We pay your salary and
you work for us - and don’t forget that
because we won't... and we WILL fire
you”.
And yes, the Park Police were very
friendly to us.
Candy (last name unknown)
The march in Washington was abso
lutely indescribable. I could cry that
I am so happy we went. I can't even
begin to explain the emotional aspect.
Wonderful people as far as you could
see. People hugging everyone and say
ing "we can do this."
Little kids with signs and old people
in wheel chairs with signs that said
"please help me so they don't put me
to sleep".
I couldn't even find the Alabama
people, although I did run into two
from Wetumpka who had driven up.
It will be one of the most memorable

WHAT NOT TO DO
This time of the year, many homeowners consider making improvements
— the weather is getting cooler; home store marketing says prices will
never be better for your individual project; and, you know YOU can do it
for less!
Here are the top home improvement myths. First, any remodel is a
good one. Not in every case. Homeowners design a specific area for their
personal needs. Not all improvements are created equal. That giant
bonus room finished with a complete gym may be perfect for the present
owner’s use; but, the next owner may need that space for an office.
You also should consider that you may not save money doing your own
remodeling. Doing it yourself can sometimes save you money; but know
your limits. For example, always use a professional for electrical work;
plumbing; heating and air-conditioning installation.
Another myth — pools do not always add value. Pools are a big liability
and can be a lot of work to maintain in the off-season. Finally, don’t
always follow the latest design trends. Neutral colors are you best bet
when thinking about selling. Peach walls must go before your house goes
on the market; and, who knows, granite counter tops may be the shag
carpet of the future.

Park Police and Guards were giving
us the thumbs up. One whispered to
me "I need a new boss." I simply looked
at him and said "We're here to work on
that". □

deliveries must be made between 7
a.m. and 9 p.m. and that the delivery
trucks must unload on Beaufait's prop
erty. The trucks are specifically forbid
den to unload on county right-of-way.
Planning and Zoning Director York
Phillips told the county commission
during their Thursday, Sept. 17 meet
ing that the building would be designed
to take the lot size, topography, location
and other unusual factors into consid
eration.
The PD text called for Beaufait to
enter an agreement with Barnes Plan
tation homeowners to allow the bike
shop to connect to the condominium
sewer system.
Speaking on behalf of Barnes Plan
tation, Jack Overman said that Beau
fait was paying for a study to determine
if the condominium sewer system could
handle the additional waste from the
bike shop building.
"We can't say, without the study, if
we will allow him to do so," said Over
man, "but if the study says our system
can handle it, then we'll sign an agree
ment with him."
Overman also said the Beaufait had
come to the Barnes Plantation hom
eowners first and they had met many
times to work things out.
"We support this rezoning as is," said
Overman.
Commission chairman Jerome Clark
(Dist. 5) asked about the driveway con
figuration how ingress and egress from
the property would be handled.
Phillips said they had moved the
entrance as far to the north as possible
to get it away from the traffic light.
