I’m ashamed to admit it, but I haven’t been to a Tea Party yet.  I’m about to get my patriotic feet wet, though.  Next Monday, November 9th, I’m going over to Birmingham to meet the Tea Party Express at Kelly Ingram Park.  American patriots of all political stripes, I’m told, will be there to rally around the Constitution and give a loud shout out to the folks trampling upon its hallowed contents up there in Washington.

I’m determined to speak my thoughts and get the inside story on just how scared down to their woollies the Democrats ought to be right now.  After the rally in Birmingham, I’ve been invited to board the Tea Party Express bus and ride back to Atlanta with them.  On the drive, I’ll be interviewing the insiders and plan to write it all up in continuing columns and blog posts.   I’ll also be sending pictures to American Thinker.

Getting the inside scoop on the movement that is causing an earthquake in liberal bastions all over this great Land is a rare privilege and I promise not to let it go to waste.  You’ll find out everything I learn, either here on my website or in my syndicated columns.

The Country is in grave peril, from both within and without, and now is the time for all Americans to fight for a return to the limited government and free enterprise which have made this the greatest civilization in the history of humankind.  I don’t want to have to tell my grandchildren that when my Country needed me, I went shopping.  I don’t want to have to tell them that when America was falling to her knees, I watched TV, played tennis and did lunch with my girlfriends.

That’s why I’m joining the Tea Party Express, both as an observer and as a participant.

President Obama’s socialist locomotive is taking us straight off a cliff and it’s going to take every man and woman with brains and vigor to stop it in its tracks before it takes us all into the abyss of failed civilizations.  Time to get crackin’.

Hope some of you will come see me in Birmingham or Atlanta on November 9th.  We can compare notes.
