Can the Grassroots and Tea Party carry Gingrich to the GOP Nomination and the White House?

A couple of days ago, the Political Watchman published an article on Newt Gingrich’s appearance at Wings Plus in Coral Springs, FL, and the more than 1200 attendees who came out to hear the Former Speaker of the House speak.  The article is a great reporting of the event itself, but it missed one of the most important aspects of that event – that the Grassroots/Tea Party made that event a reality.

I have had the opportunity to speak with Grassroots leaders and participants across the entire nation, and there is a common pulse in all of them.  They love this country!  They have a profound love and respect for the founding fathers and the founding documents that make this country great!  With every event, every effort, and every vote, they turn our great nation back onto the path of freedom. They believe that every American bears a personal responsiblity for the rights and freedoms that we enjoy in the United States. That is an amazing and powerful thing! 

The incredible  of the Grassroots/Tea Party participants at Gingrich’s Coral Springs event and other events is baffling to the mainstream media and the liberal left.   They cannot comprehend that to many of those in the Grassroots/Teaparty movments,  Gingrich is the candidate that best embraces Constitutional principles and responsiblities.  Gingrich is a passionate student of history, and the Grassroots/Teaparty participants know at their core that “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.”  

The participation of so many Grassroots/Tea Party members from so many organizations is evidence of the support Gingrich has earned from these groups, and that support can bring Gingrich victory.  With that victory, the Grassroots/Tea Party will have done what has been brewing in America for the past 4 years - the return of conservative leadership to the United States . 

Grassroots/Tea Party particiapants and leaders from across Florida and the nation came to Coral Springs to hear the Former Speaker express his dedication to putting the country back on track by getting back to the bedrock of the Constitution.  The Grassroots/Tea Party groups present at the event are strong, passionate, patriotic groups, and while they don’t always agree on every point, they stand together in the belief that the country can be saved.

The Grassroots/Tea Party groups in attendance are the best and brightest in America.  People from Freedom Works, 9-12 Project, and “Tea Party” groups from counties across Florida and America, Americans for Prosperity, Faith and Freedom, American Majority, DC Works for Us, and many others came to listen and cheer.

Gingrich has been facing a significant fight against Romney and the warchest backing him.  Romney also seems to have the support of the GOP establishment.  Both of these fights are well known to Grassroots/ Tea Pary groups, and they are battles that have been won before, but never with so much at stake.

To many pundits and politicos, it has already been decided that Mitt Romney is the Republican Nominee, and that may be the final result of the GOP Primary race.  Newt Gingrich believes that decision will not be decided by the Mainstream media, or the GOP establishment.  He believes that the Grassroots and Tea Party groups reaching out and connecting with Americans across the nation will carry him to the Republican Nomination, and the White House.  If Gingrich is right, then every call dialed, every sign made, and every vote cast by the patriots in Grassroots and Tea Party groups made his victory a reality.

AFP-FL Calls For Action on High Speed Rail Funding

Florida Lawmakers Encouraging Reckless Spending

Tallahassee –  February 17th, 2011 –  members of Florida’s Congressional Delegation and the Florida Legislature set forth a plan to circumvent Governor Scott’s decision to reject $2.4 billion in federal funds to build a high speed rail from Orlando to Tampa.

Twenty-six State Senators, including ten democrats led by high speed rail supporter Paula Dockery, sent a letter to Obama’s Transportation Secretary asking him to circumvent Gov. Scott and send the dollars directly to a state commission created in 2009.

Americans for Prosperity- Florida quickly replied with an action alert to it’s 83,000 members encouraging to them to write their state and federal officials asking them to hold the line.

The alert noted, “Governor Scott’s decision to reject the federal stimulus dollars is backed by sound economic policy and represents the voice of fiscal conservatives – he doesn’t think it is in the best interest of the state to commit to a project we can’t afford down the road. The Federal Railroad Administration has proposed a plan for Florida that will cost an estimated $11 billion to build, and it is projected that along with SunRail and Tri-Rail it will cost $100 million per year to operate once completed. With unknown ridership numbers and a budget shortfall of $3.5 billion and growing, the state of Florida simply can’t afford Obama and Dockery’s High Speed Rail plan.”

“Apryl Marie Fogel, Director of Americans for Prosperity Florida, stressed that, “Taxpayers throughout Florida have made clear their opposition to a high speed rail project that would leave taxpayers on the hook for years to come. We applaud Governor Scott for taking a tough stand and turning away federal money. Scott lends a voice of reason to a debate where special and self interest have become the priority over good policy-making. This project would saddle Floridians with a future that includes a looming threat of untold amounts of debt.

Fogel went on to emphasize, “The call for fiscal responsibility and good government has been loud and clear. The Senators who signed this letter need to take a step back and realize that they are held to the same standards as those in DC, many of them shook their fist at the Obama/Pelosi agenda campaigning against the same time of reckless and short sided governing that they are promoting.”
