I apologize for prolonging this debate regarding such minutiae, but certain assertions pertaining to the manner and date in which the invitation for me to speak was made and withdrawn have impugned my honor and integrity and I take such matters very seriously.

Ok Terry;
You’re on! Say as much as you can in the time you have and let the chips fall where they may. Next year at this time I hope the others remember what you said. I personally believe that they are not “up to speed” on what really is, and don’t want to believe that things are truely as bad as they are. It’s easier for some to hide their heads in the sand, but they just don’t understand that their asses are so far up in the air and about to get hit.

Terry, I regret to inform you that the committee has decided that your speech for the Tea Party does not fit with what we are trying to convey to the crowd. Our theme is smaller government, cutting spending & saving our republic. Therefore we will not be using your speech this time. Thank you for your time & trouble. Please let me know that you received this message.

Thank you,

Julie

We say that we Standing up for the Greater good, and the intentions are good, wholesome, and moral! Guess what? that is against what evil intends! No matter what you believe spiritually anyone that is involved in any of these groups, has the moral sense of right and wrong! This is why there is conflict within. Wrong dose not want Right to prevail!

To sum it up and encourage all who really care. Stand Straight, Stand Strong, and Stand Tough!!!! We must recognize, and steer away from implanted conflict from outside sources (forces)! How do you think our founding Father’s had the courage to sail to a foreign land against all odds? They had no doubt as to what they where going to accomplish! And did not allow opinions to stifle their goal!

Folks, Don’t run, don’t walk, don’t fall Stand!!!!!! The pain is only going to get worse!

We as True Americans cannot allow our selves to be distracted for one minute! We need to stay focused on the real goal!

Just take a look at the wall paper around this page!! Get distracted you will get bitten.

We are fighting the same battle in different ways.
You have your ways & the Indiana Armstrong Patriots have theirs.

The goal is to get as many people as possible to open their eyes & see what the progressives are doing to this country. Purposely & methodically the progressives are tearing down the United States of America.

That being said, the speech that Terry Ray gave to the committee was not the same speech that he put in writing to post on this blog. The speech that we heard was a rambling diatribe. The theme was the same but the presentation was completely different.

As a co-chair of the committee charged with finding speakers for our event I received 4 emails within 24 hours asking me to reject Terry Rays Speech. I contacted Terry Anderson to let him know what had transpired and I offered to contact Dr. Ray to let him know that we would not be having him speak.

I was given Dr. Ray’s email address and after making sure that the rest of the committee was like minded, I contacted Dr. Ray via email. I did not receive a reply.

A few days later, Terry Anderson contacted me to let me know that Dr. Ray still thought that he was speaking at the event. I emailed him again and asked for him to reply to the email. He did not.
We all know how easy it is to criticize. Some of you that left comments bashing myself & the committee have put on these events. You know that there are tough decisions to be made.

Terry Anderson, you & I have been in this since the beginning. We have worked through some of these issues before. Sometimes you just have to make a decision that may tick some people off. But, you are my brother, you always will be and I love you.

As for the rest of you that criticize without knowing the facts; I will assume that you have never been faced with this kind of though decision, although I know for a fact that some of you have.

This is the last correspondence that I will leave concerning this matter.
One God, one goal, one country!

I do not know the circumstances concerning the cancellation of your speech with the I/A patriots, nor do I give a rat’s ass. The realization that our Republic is under attack may take some longer than others. Some will never get it. Others will continue to use groups to further their own agenda. I was once part of the I.P. It is a group filled with wonderful people all on the same side of the “battlefield” just not all have the same “battleplan”.

I do not know you personally nor have I ever met you. I however do not see someone like yourself or any other rational person making such claims against POTUS without evidence of such.

I believe those who continue down the path of being “politically correct” are from the same cloth of those who will cut and run, the sunshine patriots if you will. Feelings will be hurt, tempers will flare, strong will and stubborn attitudes will collide. The place for those with lips not far from the wallet is not on the front lines. I will take no more votes, I will be in no more committees, I will never be a lap dog for any political party.

The short poem by President Jefferson reminded me of another favorite of mine by Thomas Paine. “If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace”

Thank you

You had better wake up and listen before it is too late for you and your children. If you would bother to do your homework, read important books, listen to those who have studied (Glenn Beck come to mind), you would know that even if part of what Dr Ray is saying is true or not, Barack Obama’s mission is exaxtly what Dr Ray says it is. I don’t know anyone at the Indiana Patriot’s group or Dr Ray, but I know enough to understand what this man is all about.

Dr Ray has an opinion–a studied opinion. If you are offended, shame on your ignorance. You do not have the courage to stand up for America and our values that are disappearing day by day.

If what Mr Anderson says is true, then shame on you for disallowing Dr Ray to speak. These are the same tactics that Obama is using. He has tried to shut down Fox News, Tea Parties, Arizona law, and on and on. I know Obama is happy that he has intimidated you into PC heaven and that you are now on his bandwagon of shuting up the REAL Americans and their efforts to reverse the damage done by the Chicago thugary in the White House.

Thank you, Dr Ray, for your service and your courage to stand up to cowards.

FACTS:
He did hand in a written speach. I handed it to Julie myself.
Others who were allowed to speak were not required to hand in a speach!
He did not stick to the written speach when he sat in front of us.
His speach was too long, as were everybody elses.
He did agree to shorten it to the 7 min. limit.
The rules only apply to some and not to all.

I was never informed that the committee had also dismissed me.

OPENION:
Dr. Ray’s speach was eliminated soley because some people don’t like him personally. Others are not informed enough about his topic to beleive that it is true. They havn’t studdied it for themseleves, so because they don’t know it, it’s no true. It’s too radicle. Today we know as fact, many things that a year ago, sounded to awfull to be true.

FACT: I’m not where the Indiana/Armstrong Patriots are. They have become unwilling to speack radically, calling it “loose cannon”. A loose cannon used to be someone who offended people in the group that you were trying to get to vote together. Now it has become anyone who offends anyone, even Obama. If this is where the I/A P has come to then I must seperate myself from you. If you don’t have the stones for radicle speach from someone that you may not like, then you don’t have the stones to “Stand To” when the unions and democrats come after your ranks. Gandi said: First they ignore you. Secound they belittle you. Third they fight you. “This is where the vast majority of I/A P will cut and run”. If they don’t have the stones now, you won’t have the stones then either.

I respect the fact that the committee could not decide based on things being stated by Mr. Ray, and that a written submission was required to be considered. At the same time, I think it not helpful for one group (Stand Too) to post this as “Forbidden Speech,” further throwing blame toward the Indiana Armstrong Patriots division of concerned American Citizens. Never-the-less, this will now get more press and exposure than it would have had it only been spoken at the Tea Party, cause that’s how people are…

What matters most is…what is true? Many of the points made by Mr. Ray, if true, are very enlightening to the current arrogance of leadership that we are seeing. The risk is always there when speaking out that some will be offended.

Anytime you organize a group of people, creating a mission statement, by-laws, and a requirement of voting to approve certain representations, you will offend others.

Again, please remember this is not a time to take shots at each other, no matter how much we may differ individually. If we do not work together to take back our country in the primary and general elections, using the system and process we already have in place, we will not be taking back our country…peaceably.
