The Democratic Congressional leadership and the president have just adopted legislation against the will of the majority of the American people that will increase an already hemorrhaging budget deficit and will amount to the beginning of socialized medicine in America. President Obama had repeatedly made campaign promises that he would change the political climate and that it would not be “politics as usual” in Washington. He has made good on his promises. His politics are much worse.

Millions of us are alarmed and angry at being totally ignored by those in Washington. If you, too, are concerned, come join us at our next Tea Party Meeting this Saturday, March 27, at Fellowship Baptist Church, 1491 Frye Road, Starkville. The meeting starts at 3 p.m. and the featured speaker will be Bryan Fischer, political talk show host of Focal Point at American Family Radio.
