Join us Tuesday, December 7th, at 7:00 pm at Coach's Pizza World 112 S. Washington St. Mexico, Mo in candle light prayer for our troops, hear Veterans speak and Soldiers who have either served in Iraq, or Afghanistan. There will be Christmas music, and a Card and letter Shower that will be sent to our men and women serving our country. Some Christmas Cards will be available to you at the event. Cookies, coffee, hot chocolate will be served.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> WAYS YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span>For those who would like to send a card or letter earlier to our troops for the holidays feel free to drop them by Graphitti 124 W. Promenade, Mexico Mo before December 8th. Christmas Cards and or letters will be picked up on the 8th and mailed randomly to our troops either in Afghanistan, or Iraq. You may include your address in your card or letter for your soldier. Some Christmas cards will be available at Graphitti for your convenience.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">*</span> For those who know of a soldier serving in Iraq or Afghanistan or know of a Veteran that wish to speak or to have their military picture posted at the event, please feel free to write their name and information that you would like to share. Please post information on the back of your photo. Be sure your photo is a duplicate in case it accidentally gets lost. Please drop your photo before Dec 1st at Graphitti 112 W. Promenade St. Mexico, Mo. You may pick your photo up at Graphitti during weekdays of Dec. 9th through Dec. 14th or after the Soldier's Christmas Event<br /><br />*For those who wish to send our troops needed items they may do so at the Christmas donation drop boxes at the participating stores in Mexico Mo; Wal-mart, Walgreen, Hickmans, and both Dollar General locations. A list of items are posted on the boxes. Please note some of our troops in Afghanistan are walking over 300 miles per week and are going through the socks at an alarming rate. The most needed items are "black diabetic socks" long enough to be worn with combat boots. Other most needed items are hand sanitizer, and baby wipes 10-12 in a pack easy for toting. Keep in mind soldiers like phone cards.<br /><br />*This event is being launched by "a group of citizens of Mexico, Mo and the surrounding area" and has nothing to do with the tea party and is only being posted here for informative purposes and is open to all who wish to send us their suggestions, or wish to volunteer. You may contact us at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/christmas4troops@gmail.com">christmas4troops@gmail.com</a><br /><br />*We are currently looking for any soldier who has served in either Afghanistan or Iraq who would like to speak at the event and tell of his, or her experience and what it means to them to hear from folks back home during the holidays.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thanks for all that you do for our troops! </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">From a group of Citizens from Mexico Mo and the surrounding Areas.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We plan to make this an annual event in our community and we cannot do it without the involvement of others, who are the ones who make it happen.<br /><br /></span>Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08333921180623151232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653740223247184155.post-62770305993244635952010-10-13T11:38:00.011-05:002010-10-13T12:19:55.850-05:00Informational Meeting About Fair Tax<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" > About Fair Tax</span><br /></div> <span style="font-size:130%;">Tuesday, November 9th at 7 p.m.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"> Coach's Pizza World</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"> at 112 South Washington Street</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"> Mexico, Mo</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"> Our Guest Speaker is</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" > Randy Gastineau</span><br /> <span style="font-size:130%;">Come and bring a friend</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">missouriteaparty@gmail.com</span></div>Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08333921180623151232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653740223247184155.post-20196005622833662252010-10-01T17:16:00.007-05:002010-10-09T11:24:36.125-05:00Proposition B "MO Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act" Misleading title?

We also would like to thank Pastor Adam Weber for opening prayer, vocalist Cynthia Fennewald who sang the National Anthem, Fair Tax Speaker Colin Malakar, and to all the Fair Tax volunteers that set up the Fair Tax booth. Thanks to organizers Summer Decker and Jeffrey Owen Jadav for setting up the Soldier’s Angels Booth for our troops. A special thanks goes to all the organizers that worked behind scenes and the volunteers who extended a hand in helping making the T.E.A. Party a successful event. Thanks to those who joined the volunteer list to plan to help with the upcoming July T.E.A party. We look forward to seeing you at the carry-in dish picnic in May. We also would like to mention it is never too late to volunteer to help make our country a better place. For those who wish to volunteer and want to attend the carry-in dish picnic sometime in May, feel free to inquire, or let us know through our email missouriteaparty@gmail.com.

PartyOn July 4th rain did not stop the 122 (Taxed enough Already) T.E.A. Party gathering at the premises of Summer Snow on the corner of Love and N. Western Street. People from Mexico, Mo and surrounding communities as well as some out of state participants attended the rally. Many people stood in the rain to sign petitions concerning Government Fiscal Irresponsibility and Healthcare Reform. <a href="http://www.teapartypatriots.org">Tracy Leake</a>, vice chairman of Tea Party Patriots of Silver City, New Mexico was the main speaker at the event. 17 year old Weston Hitchcock who was sent to Washington D.C. as a delegate by a local Electric Co-op received a big round of applause after speaking about his questions and visit to Senator Claire McCaskill’s office. Signs went up protesting excessive government spending, massive trade deficit, increasing national debts, etc. The group also showed concerns over the implications Cap and Trade legislation, which was recently passed by the House of Representatives.<br /><br />This T.E.A. Party gathering was organized again by Jay and Pat Jadav, with the help of several volunteers. This local protest was part of a nationwide T.E.A. Party Patriots, who are a nationwide nonpartisan grassroots movement and the signed petitions are part of a nationwide effort to send a clear message, to our lawmakers in Washington. The gathering more than doubled in numbers from their last rally on April, 15th. They are looking forward to possibly putting together another fall rally sometime in October. They have a website for comments and updates and upcoming events.

Arlen Specter joins the Democratic Party<p>Veteran GOP Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania announced Tuesday he will switch political parties and run in the Democratic primary in 2010.</p><p>Republican voters had sent him to the Senate five times. But faced with the prospect of a strong challenge from conservative Pat Toomey in the GOP primary and the state trending Democratic, Specter issued a statement that he was going to jump ship.</p><p>"I deeply regret that I will be disappointing many friends and supporters," Specter said at a news conference on Tuesday.</p><p>"I can understand their disappointment," he continued.
