is available here, a quick peek:

Just last month at the twin city tea party democratic candidates turned out to seek the votes of Tea party members for seats in the general court (house and senate) however with a democratic party both polling death spiral numbers and totally dependent on the current 90-10 in the Black vote it would appear that a directive from the NAACP attacking the tea party would have the authority of the Pope speaking Ex Cathedra.

Who would have believed that the attack against the tea party would be as successful as the French World Cup Team?

Pay special attention to the excerpt from local Tea Party president Justin Brooks letter to the editor, it accurately states what this entire thing was all about.

And as always you can find my past examiner columns here. Check them out and send them to your friends.

…is not going to be in people’s hands anytime soon.

I was down at the Unemployment office today (the long wait explains the long pause in posting today) the crowd was overflowing and the big question on almost everyone’s lips was, when when the finds start flowing again?

It will apparently take at least two to three weeks before the retroactive benefits are paid. This is going to mean weeks of hardship for people, but it also means that you will see some short term loan sharking from companies anxious to cash in on the delay.

Here is a snippit:

“People are tired of the government, they have the feeling they aren’t being listened to and I’m offering a representative that will listen to them and abide by the Constitution,” Gunn said before the meeting started.

Gunn said he has strong Libertarian views on most issues.

He is a private contractor from Ware whose company had seven employees but downsized to two as the economy faltered.

Gunn said he opposed the Troubled Asset Relief Program bill and the stimulus bill, as well as Cap and Trade reform.

The federal government needs to curb spending and cut taxes, he said.

Many federal departments such as the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Agriculture Department are unnecessary, Gunn said.

This makes two days in a row that the Sentinel had something to do with the tea party on the front page. Tuesday they covered the Twin City tea Party candidate forum. It’s a good sign.

As you know I was also there, here is the first of the video’s I shot, I will append the others as they upload.

I have some errands to run so it might be a little while before it is all up.

UPDATE: Here is the rest of the Town Hall in sequence:
