Reporting On Conservative Citizen Activism

GOP Thanks Tea Party Movement at Christie Ralley

By Lon (Alonzo) Hosford

GOP is growing perhaps reluctantly to accept the conservative activist movement manifested in the Tea Parties. At a Chris Christie ralley on November 1, 2009 , Congressman  Rodney Frelinghuysen thanked the Tea Party movement for their support.

The ralley was the end of the 21 country tour Chris Christie has laid out for the end of his campaign and held on the Morristown Center Green a plce where over 10,000 people have attended The Morristown Tea Party events since April 15th this year. The latest was just the day before.

The conservative activist movement this year has given strength and support for exposing and opposing the current Congress moves to expand government to unprecedented levels. GOP is virtually powerless in Congress  without an active citizen movement.

Even large lobby groups for industries have one by one been  lured in to support these government expansions with the promises of the basic stuff called money and to some extent the appearance of no Whitehouse reprisals. However on the latter point they are seeing how fast the Whitehouse and certain members of Congress can turn on them if they step out of line. Something you see in dictatorships and communist countries.

Recognizing the independents from both major parties behind Chris Christie, Rodey reached  out with gratitude returned by applause.

“There are a lot of people who support the Tea Party movement. And we want to thank the Tea Party movement.”

Well we are not done yet and all politicians need to get used to us.

“On November 3rd, you have an opportunity to send a message  not only to Trenton  but to the Whitehouse – your not going to take it anymore!”

This is evidence that the GOP is looking for all political momentum to form their battle strength in DC. Conservatives of course are daily taking action from homes, their computers, in the streets, in meetings with elected officials and even running for office from school boards to State legislatures around the country.
