Albuquerque Tea Party is a far right wing republican group that represents the worst America has to offer when it comes to our core values. Clearly their values are not the values of Main Street Americans.
They encourage hate and welcome hate groups such as the KKK. I personally have seen members of hate groups at some of their meetings supporting their candidates. They would allow the weakest in our society to fend for themselves without any help or hope of help from our federal government. They would close down public education and make education only for the very rich 1% of individuals in this country.
They support big uncontrolled businesses which would harm Main Street America. If it is up to them and the candidates they support Big Wall Street Corporations would run uncontrolled so that wages would be less than those in third world countries and the environment would become unlivable for our children and our parents. They oppose the cap and trade system that would stop the worst of global warming around the world.
Small businesses would have no hope of competing again huge Wall Street run corporations if the tea party gets it way in this country. Small businesses and individuals would soon see healthcare become unaffordable and people would begin to die from treatable diseases. Parents would be forced to stand by and watch their children die from treatable illness while the very rich took up doctors’ time for unneeded procedures.
The tea party is now reaching out to the uneducated and the undereducated in our city and filling their heads with lies and fears that they over the time of the Bush Administration have help to create in the first place. They color everything as if nothing bad was going on before President Obama was elected.
It will be up to the Democratic Party and Independents to save our state from a future where the tea party manages to kill small businesses and harm our families through their own warped values system.

Quotes:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Teddy)
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
The O'Coilean (O'Collins)
'A great host with whom it is not fortunate to contend, the battle-trooped host of the O'Coileain."
Abraham Lincoln
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
From NPR Radio
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children can fly!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."

"Friendship is loving someone no matter what is in their past. It is accepting the fact that they are human and that they have made their share of mistakes over a life time. Trust is being able to tell your friend the most private secret knowing that they will not judge you. A life is not lived well without that one true and trusted friendship."
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones
"My job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Will Rogers
"I don't belong to an organized party--I'm a democrat."
President John F. Kennedy, Democrat
“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties—someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Lora O'Brien
"All I can do is share one person's experiences on her own path, not tell you how to walk yours. If a guru is what you are looking for, find another! If I am a teacher, it is because I am already walking the path that you, Dear Reader, may wish to be on. Although each of us must make our own way, I can put up signs at least, and make the way slightly less hazardous for those who wish to walk a similar path."
C. S. Lewis
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."

1/1/10 A new year and a number of future elections to cover. The budget will be a major issue this year and we must work hard to protect the core values of our party.
