IE Patriots Are On A Roll
Patriots!
"We have been simply flooded with supportive comments during and after the #UIECC16. Not a single person walked away without a greater appreciation for the dire condition of our Republic, the inspiration to make a greater effort in her survival and the tools to begin that effort. Thanks to all who attended and to the many people who contributed to the success of the conference. Unite Inland Empire. And oh, we had a lot of fun too!" Don Dix
Thank you to our wonderful speakers, the Unite IE groups, the #UIECC16 planning team and especially to everyone who attended.
We especially thank Jenny Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots for giving a great opening keynote address and meeting with local Tea Party leaders over lunch.
While we had a great time, if we do not do anything different and better fulfill the obligations of our most important political office of private citizen, it will have been a wasted day.
As always, “The most important political office is that of the private citizen.” Justice Louis D. Brandeis

As further benefit the networking at #UIECC16, John Berry secured #UIECC16 speaker and national security expert Frank Gaffney as our speaker for September 1. [It seldom hurts to ask.] We could not be prouder at having such an important national security expert come to our meeting.
April 7 meeting: Water, Trains and Donnelly, Oh My!!!
Tim Donnelly returns to the Redlands Tea Party Patriots on April 7. In 2012, Tim drew our largest crowd ever, 246 people.
Tim Donnelly is running against Paul Cook in the 8th Congressional District. Tim was one of our great speakers at #UIECC16 where he said: "you can't be free unless you think free."
"After watching my Congressman cast bad vote after bad vote, one finally pushed me over the edge. Congressman Cook voted for the $1.1 Trillion Ryan-Pelosi budget, which among many terrible provisions irresponsibly increases spending and funds Obama bringing in 300,000 unvetted and unvettable refugees and illegal aliens into our country, mere weeks after the San Bernardino terrorist attack. I will not stand idly by as Congressman Cooks recklessly puts our community in further danger and piles more debt on our children." Tim Donnelly
To see other terrible parts of the Ryan-Pelosi budget, please see:
http://redlandsteaparty.net/RTP/paul-ryan-aka-boehner-3-0-and-the-est-reps-give-america-and-conservatives-their-middle-finger/
The Redlands Tea Party Patriots cabinet unanimously recommends Tim Donnelly, "A Patriot, Not a Politician." Sending Tim Donnelly to Congress will not only send a great Patriot to Congress, it will make the EstReps pay a price for their betrayal on the Ryan-Pelosi budget and so much more.
By the way, Paul Cook staffer explains why Paul Cook supports the crony capitalist Ex-Im Bank at the request of Boeing and Mitsubishi. “They are big campaign contributors of ours,” said Lesovsky “you know, we’ll help them out.” See the Project Veritas video at:

See the next column for info re: Tim's exciting fundraiser on April 22 at Riley's Farm with PolitiChicks Ann-Marie Murrell, Dr. Gina Loudon, and Morgan Brittany, along with Alfonzo Rachel, the surprise smash hit from #UIECC16.
"And if you can volunteer, we'll be walking every weekend and need people to call from home. To sign up, please contact Janet@DonnellyforCongress.com We will have walks in Highland and Yucaipa."
Joining Tim on stage will be Aubrey Bettencourt with the CA Water 4 All initiative, who is leading the charge to strip the nutty, expensive, and unnecessary bullet train of its $8 billion in funding and convert that money to desperately needed water storage projects that will actually provide water to the people rather than money for things like bike paths and sand dune restoration in the 2014 "water" bond. More info at https://cawater4all.com/
The Los Angeles Times botched a story last week saying the petition had been withdrawn from circulation. Because of the skyrocketing cost of professional signature gatherers, California Water 4 All is going to qualify its measure for the 2018 ballot if it fails to get enough signatures by mid-April, the deadline for the November 2016 ballot. That means all of our signatures collected are valid and will be applied to the June 25 deadline, when California Water 4 All will submit for the 2018 ballot.
We will again collect signatures for the CA Water for All initiative at our Thursday meeting.
Also at the meeting, we will be collecting signatures keeping recreational marijuana illegal so we don't become the next Colorado, where toddlers now go to emergency rooms for eating legally sold, marijuana-laced candy known as "edibles."
And, for the first time, we will collect signatures for Californians for Death Penalty Reform and Savings, designed to get death penalty prisoners to die from execution instead of old age. (Their motto: "The death penalty system is broken, but it can and should be fixed.")
Finally! Our ground-game is about to get started!
Also Thursday, John Berry, our canvassing grand poo-bah, will discuss our door-knocking campaign before the June 7 California primary. Notwithstanding social media, email and old 20th Century technology of telephones, the key to winning elections is still canvassing and knocking on doors.
Other Redland Tea Party Patriots candidate recommendations:
The Redlands Tea Party Patriots cabinet unanimously recommends Paul Chabot in 31st CD. We recommended Paul in 2014 and he nearly won despite being out spent by more than 5 to 1 and possibly because of Dem vote fraud.
Paul started running the next day. Since then we have worked with Paul on many issues and events. Paul believes in the Tea Party principles, is a dedicated Patriot, a veteran and man of integrity.
Paul Chabot received the endorsement and financial support from the House Conservative Fund PAC, chaired by conservative Texas Congressman Roger Williams. The PAC works to elect conservative members to Congress. Chabot has also received the endorsement of the 300,000 member Gun Owners of America, the San Bernardino Police Officers Association and the 7,000 member California Narcotic Officers Association.
Paul opens his Redlands office on April 14. See the next column for info.
Connect with Paul at:

The Redlands Tea Party Patriots cabinet is also pleased to unanimously recommend Donna Munoz for San Bernardino County 3rd District Supervisor.
"I am not a politician, I am a public servant. I have the qualifications needed to be your County Supervisor and the time and energy needed to do the job. I will put together staff dedicated to working with and for the residents of the 3rd District."
Make your vote count! www.DonnaMunoz2016.com
Mike Morrell. Was it ever open to question? Mike has a 100% rating from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
Jay Obernolte. 100% rating from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
Marc Steinorth. Marc has a 97% rating from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. That is still pretty good and good enough to overcome our disappointment with Marc supporting toll lanes on the 10 and 15 freeways and his vote on an LGBT resolution. Marc is in a marginal district, and the alternative is much worse on every issue.
President: The Redlands Tea Party Patriots cabinet is 5-1 for Donald Trump [and we are still speaking to each other]. However, Ted Cruz won the straw polls at our January, February and March meetings. We recognize the strong feelings of our members so between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, we make no recommendation other choose one, and if the other gets the nomination, vote for him, holding your nose if necessary.
Senate: Our member Bob Larivee dropped out of the race. There is much to like about Tom Del Beccaro, who spoke to us in February, including his flat tax plan, but not including his immigration policies. However, his principle Rep opponent, Def Sundheim, is even worse supporting amnesty. The Redlands Tea Party Patriots cabinet does not agree on a recommendation at this time. (We will be revisiting this issue soon as more information becomes available.)
Other news: - Despite the Redlands City Council increasing our water and sewer by 55% over the next three years, the effort to combat their egregious tax scam is not over. Stay tuned.
- Kathy Ponce, leader of the Freedom Tea Party Patriots, will become a Ted Cruz delegate to the National Republican Convention in Cleveland if Ted wins Congressional District 31 during the June 7 California primary! Congratulations Kathy! An honor well earned for all her hard work on a variety of causes in the Fontana area over the last year.
- Need a good laugh? Local Democrat leader George Alfano wrote a column -- in the March 27 Redlands Daily Facts recommending the Reps support Hillary Clinton to help the Rep party. (We're not making that up.) Alfano's concern for the Rep party is as touching as it is genuine.
Trumpsters and Cruz Missiles.
Guys...can we take it down a notch? In the end, the Trumpsters and the Cruz missiles need each other after the convention and maybe at the convention to stop the EstReps from stealing the nomination.
As between Trump and Cruz, the only rational Patriot decision is to support the nominee even if you have to hold your nose. There is too much at stake for America to do otherwise.
Tea Party Principles Speech Contest
As a way of reaching the next generation and spreading the Tea Party principles, we are holding the first (hopefully annual) Tea Party Principles Speech contest. This is a great opportunity for young people ages 14-19 to compete. The prizes are very generous. First place winner will receive a whopping $2,000! Second place prize is $1,000 and third place is $500.
The contestants will address these questions: (a) Are the Tea Party principles valid today or should they be changed? (b) Will the Tea Party principles make my life and the lives of my friends and family and the next generation better? (c) Why or why not?
Tea Party Principles:
--Personal freedom with constitutionally limited government.
--Economic freedom with opportunity for all and favoritism for none.
--A debt free future through fiscal responsibility today.
We believe the Tea Party principles were an essential part of making America great, free and prosperous and are essential to restoring and keeping America great, free and prosperous. These principles are antithetical to the big government ruling class, which is why they attack the Tea Party movement so vigorously and viciously, but always without mentioning the Tea Party principles.
The deadline to register for the contest and submit a video speech was April 1. The finalists will compete at the Redlands Tea Party Patriots meeting on May 5.

4/18 [and on going]: Save Our Constitution,
Our Constitution is under continuing assault from Obama and the Dem Left. They are on the verge of packing the US Supreme Court with a fifth liberal activist judge, Merrick Garland. This is crucial because the Supreme Court has the power to effectively amend the Constitution, adding or deleting provisions. Five liberal activist judges will be soft on crime and Islamic terrorism, further restrict religious freedom and freedom of speech under the First Amendment, uphold executive amnesty, and effectively repeal the Second Amendment. The four liberal justices already voted the Second Amendment does not provide a constitutional right to own firearms. If Garland or any other Dem nominee is confirmed the five liberal activist judges will rule the Second Amendment does not guaranty our right to own firearms effectively repealing the Second Amendment. Therefore, Constitution is at stake in who fills Justice Scalia's seat.
The Dems are pressuring Rep Senators to approve Obama's nominee. While Majority Leader McConnell says there will be no hearings or vote on Obama's nominee, no surprise, some of them are going wobbly.
On April 18, Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty for 5 million illegal immigrants will heard by the US Supreme Court minus Justice Scalia. Jenny Beth Martin and other Patriots will protest Obama's constitutional executive amnesty and Obama's liberal activist Supreme Court nomination in front of the Supreme Court.
We can help defend our Constitution from California.
