Minutes of last meeting Sat May 30th

Hi everybody. We had a pretty good turnout considering the beautiful day that it was; approximately 100 of us showed up.
The meeting was only 1hour long but covered some important topics. Roy gave an excellent presentation on principles of liberty and some great ideas on how we can immediately start bringing about REAL change for the good of our country and ultimately our families. Educate ourselves with regards to the city council members who are up for re-election this year and vote only for those who have exhibited sound judgement with regards to principles of freedom and liberty; if none are available we've got to try and find principled people who understand these things. Also Roy spoke about the issue of Hydropower not being listed as a renewable energy resource in our state. He is working to get that changed; possibly by using the process of a peoples' initiative where we take the issue straight to the people for a vote.
The folks who've been organizing the local tea parties also took some time to discuss some of the successes and road-blocks they've been encountering. For more information about what they're doing visit their website at www.tri-citiesteaparties.com.

On a personal note I'd like to encourage everybody to have the courage to open your mouth in defense of the principles of truth and liberty. We have a knowledge that many people do not have. Others will be drawn to the cause when they see us living these principles ourselves-- educating ourselves, being vocal and being a force for positive change.

I think I speak for the whole group when I say that it was good to be together again and I look forward to the next meeting. I'll try to schedule something for the end of this month.
