November 13, 2010 Meeting

Today's meeting was about brainstorming and discussing which direction CTP needs to go in and how to streamline our group better. We came up with some great ideas that we are implimenting at our next meeting on January 8, 2011 at Spring-Creek BBQ in Cypress Towne Center, 4pm.

One of the ways we are streamlining is by appointing committee chairs to oversee an issue. These commitee chairs are to keep everyone abreast of what is happening with that issue and what our job is concerning the matter. Members can join as many committees as they want to help with research. Then at the meetings, the committe chairs will share with us the information. This way we are not overloaded trying to figure things out! Our next order of business will be Texas Legislation and committee chair is Linda Nutall!

Today's Prayer from our meeting:

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us.The government will rest on his shoulders.And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor,Mighty God,Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 NLT

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you today with thanksgiving. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to serve you through the Cypress Texas Tea Party. Please give us the wisdom and foresight to steward this responsibility wisely. We want to honor you with our decisions so we ask that as we discuss political issues and the direction our nation is heading in, that your Holy Spirit guides us. In Jesus Christ’s name we ask, Amen.

November 7, 2010 The victory was ours!

As you have already heard, we took the house! For the most part, nationwide, our tea party efforts have worked!So if a group of people, who mostly had no idea what they were doing, made this big of an impact...

What happens now that we've learned a few things? It's time to win 2012 and stay on that winning streak, bettering America and kicking communism, socialism and Obamacare to the curb! For the first time, I poll watched this past Tuesday from 6:00 am to about 7:40pm, taking notes and reviewing voting poll law. And, I plan on working the polls again next election! Fortunately, there were no incidents at my location, and overall I believe Houston had a free and fair election.

So what do we do now? 2012 elections aren't for a while? Here are the next steps:

1.) Texas Legislation-time to watchdog so study up! http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/

2.) Since we are the Cypress Texas Tea Party, you need to know what's going on locally!  http://www.thecypresstimes.com/ 

3.) It's time to educate our circle of influence! Most people have NO IDEA what is going on and vote for the best "sound bite." First educate yourself, (http://hotair.com/ & http://www.glennbeck.com ) then tell  your friend. Throw a "House Party." Organizing at the community level will reach more people and have more influence.

4.) Come to our Tea Party meetings, get involved. You already saw what happens when people refuse to no longer stick their head in the sand and decide to do what they can to make a difference.

5.) Luke and I stay in contact with Felicia Cravens (founder of Houston Tea Party Society) and we watch which direction the Tea Party Patriots are going in. They have a conference call for Tea Partiers  nationwide to listen in on every week. If you don't get their emails, please get them and read them! http://www.teapartypatriots.org/

These are our ideas...if you would like to contribute! Come share at a meeting!
