We had a great turnout and even had a few important visitors. Mike Morrell (pictured above), candidate for state assembly, stopped by to offer his support!

This event was part of a nationwide, simultaneous protest which encouraged people to go to every single congressman and senators office.  After our protest hour was over, we marched up to Dreier’s office to submit our petition and letters.

Richard Rea, a member of Dreier’s staff, met with about 20 of us in the congressman’s conference room. He was extremely interested in what each of us had to say and was very open to our suggestions. The meeting lasted for about an hour.

With the better than expected turnout and the overwhelmingly positive response from the people on the street and the cars on the road we are confident that the strength of our message is being carried all across the region.  Today was a day to not only celebrate our independence, but to once again declare it. We know that with your continued support this message will not get lost in the doldrums of day to day life, but it will echo from the mountains in Rancho Cucamonga all the way to the statehouse in Sacramento and to the capitol of our country with the voices of other Tea Party rallies across the nation.

Once again thank you for your support on this eventful day and please carry on the message to all of your friends and neighbors, that your liberty and independence are yours to fight for and that the government derives its power from you.

After the camera turned off the mayor of Rancho Cucamonga asked me several questions about the event and seemed very interested!

 History has verified that every Society must occasionally review its course of action and demand change when necessary to promote the health and well-being of its People.

 America has been no stranger to this principle. The Founding of this country was based on the ideal that a nation’s people are best when self-governed and free. The Civil War was fought on the principle that a nation must stand united to provide Liberty, and the Civil Rights and Women’s Suffrage Movements proved that peaceful demonstrations and determination can, in a free country, change the status quo and bring equality to all people.

 These battles were fought not because the subjects were popular, they were fought because the cause was just!

 Given the course of current events, it is once again necessary to declare our independence.

 “To speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once no-government, but AT ONCE a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it” – H.D. Thoreau, Civil Disobedience

 The American Founders, in all their wisdom and charity, fought to bring Liberty and Justice to this Nation, so that every person could forge their own destiny and live free from the bonds of tyranny.

 Sadly, as we near the anniversary of our American Independence this government moves to “change” our individual destiny and make it into a collective one, in defiance of the common sense that once prevailed. The statutes of the Constitution are being pushed aside in favor of a rapidly growing and increasingly more powerful federal government. It is a declaration of war against the very people that brought it into existence.

 We must at once cry out against these transgressions and remind our representatives that the power of the government lies within the will of the people. We must utilize our First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and make our united voices loud and clear.

 We will not sit idle as the government moves to unfairly tax, to expand its power at any cost, burden the people with debt, and aggressively alter the fabric of our economic system. Bailouts, Czars, and new laws passed in the cover of night cannot, and will not, be tolerated. We the people, must declare these actions unjust and make a concentrated effort to utilize our Constitutional Rights in order to return this government to its citizens.

 Thomas Jefferson, Our 3^rd President, one of this nation’s dedicated founders, the idealist, the Patriot, and one of history’s most devoted proponents of foundational Liberty, once brilliantly declared:

 “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. – That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed, – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

 Jefferson reminds us that we are not guaranteed happiness, but rather, we are guaranteed the right to pursue it. The ability to impose a legislated version of happiness is specifically excluded from the power of the Government. Therefore, We the People must stand against that which limits us and threatens our most precious gift… Liberty.

 So stand up, join with us, and utilize your rights while they are still yours to fight for.

This will be our first big event! It will continue the spirit of the April 15th Tax Day Tea Parties (some of you may have participated in the one on Foothill and Daycreek).  I urge you to bring your friends, families and fellow patriots! We will promote our message to everyone who drives by  (and keep in mind that this is a VERY busy intersection)! Please bring American flags, historical American flags, signs promoting the constitution and our founding fathers. I ask that we keep the message upbeat and positive! (Please do not bring any anti-abortion or anti-illegal immigration signs, those will have to wait for another day.)

Over 1,600 people attended the April 15th Tea Party!

The drive by support was overwhelming! Smiles, honks and thumb ups!

Everyone was positive and upbeat. Together, we CAN make a difference! Never give up!
