The Association of the Sons of Liberty of the USA

&

The New American Tea Party

It is essential to the freedom and security of a free people, that no taxes be imposed upon them but by their own consent, or their representatives. And yet, to the astonishment of the entire world, and the grief of citizens of United States of America, the Representatives of no one but themselves in Washington D.C assumed the power of imposing trillions of dollars of debt on the backs of American citizens; and insisting on it as a necessary badge of their supremacy, passed two “bailout” bills. The first being in the eighth year of his presidency’s reign, George Walker Bush and the second bill passed in the first year of his Presidency’s reign Barack Hussein Obama II. These two acts have imposed an unfathomable amount of debt on our children and grandchildren. These two bills, after the concurrence of the US Legislature, obtained Presidential assent. And thus they, by the bailouts in question, deny us, the citizens of the United States of America, the enjoyment of our God given & Constitutional confirmed rights. As this denial, and the execution of the bailouts, involves our slavery, and would sap the foundation of our freedom, whereby we should become slaves to our own Federal government. We, the citizens of the United States of America, must enter into an agreement to decline any commerce with AIG or any other establishment propped up by this extortion money, until the above mentioned “Bailout” bills should be totally repealed. May this boycott operate so powerfully as to prove that it is disadvantageous to companies that accept the money from our government. The distress brought on by the American International Group (AIG) and the ill policies of Washington.

Despite the objections of the people they are supposed to represent, our government is still determined on their scheme, they have chartered into dangerous waters with the aim of keeping ill-ran establishments such as AIG a float. If they succeed, we shall have no property that we can call our own, and then we may bid adieu to American liberty. Therefore, to prevent a calamity which, of all others, is the most to be dreaded-slavery and its terrible concomitants-we, the subscribers, being influenced from a regard to liberty, and disposed to use all lawful endeavors in our power, to defeat the pernicious project, and to transmit to our posterity those blessings of freedom which our ancestors have handed down to us; and to contribute to the support of the common sense and common liberties of America, which are in danger to be subverted, do, for those important purposes, agree to associate together, under the name and style of the Sons & Daughters of Liberty as The New American Tea Party, and engage our honor to, and with each other faithfully to observe and perform the following resolutions, viz.

1st. Resolved, that whoever shall aid or abet, or in any manner assist, in the introduction of ill-ran establishments such as AIG from any place whatsoever in this nation, while it is subject to a Federal bailout, he shall be deemed an enemy to the liberties of America.

2d. Resolved, that whoever shall be aiding, or assisting, in the landing, or carting of such products, from any ship, or vessel, or shall hire any house, storehouse, or cellar or any place whatsoever, to deposit the Federally propped products, subject to bailout money as aforesaid, he shall be deemed an enemy to the liberties of America.

3d. Resolved, that whoever shall sell, or buy, or in any manner contribute to the sale, or purchase of products, supported by this Bailout money as aforesaid, or shall aid, or abet, in transporting such products, by land or water, from this nation, until the bailout money, commonly called stimulus packages, shall be totally and clearly repealed, he shall be deemed an enemy to the liberties of America.

4th. Resolved, that whether the debt incurred by these bailout bills, are paid by us or by our grandchildren, our liberties are affected.

5th. Resolved, that whoever shall transgress any of these resolutions, we will not deal with, or employ, or have any connection with him.

My First email:
Dear Suddenlink,

You need to add Fox Business Network to your channel line up. Dish Network and DirecTV have already added it to their line up.

Sincerely,
Dustin Sherrill

Response from Suddenlink:

Dear Dustin Sherrill,

Thank you for your inquiry. Suddenlink is committed to providing the best customer service possible.

Thank you for your interest in Fox Business Channel. Unfortunately, the interest in this channel among other customers continues to be quite limited. What’s more, we have not yet received a proposal from Fox News that would allow us to offer this channel to customers who do want it without impacting the cost of service for customers who don’t want it.

We will, however, continue to evaluate customer demand for the channel, as well as alternatives for offering it in a fair and equitable manner to those like you who want it. We appreciate your patience with this process and the time you’ve taken to share your interest.

We hope that we have been able to provide you with the information you requested. If we have not, or if we can be of any additional service to you, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

My rebuttal:
Dear Suddenlink,

I find your excuses to be questionable and weak. How can you say interest is limited for Fox Business Network? All anyone talks about on the news today is the economy. Seems to me that there is a very large interest out there for the type of programming Fox Business Network delivers. Why else would Dish Network and DirecTV add it to their lineups? I can tell you why! It is because of Dave Ramsey; He is the hottest thing since sliced bread. So much so that even Congressmen such as John Culberson can’t help it but twitter about him on Capitol Hill. No interest, indeed?!?

It also irritates me that you say you are awaiting a proposal from Fox that won’t impact the cost of service to your customers that don’t want this channel. Yet I have received rate hikes in the past due to such channels as ESPN. I couldn’t give a flip about ESPN or the many other sports channels provided but my rates went up because of them.

Sincerely,
Dustin Sherrill

I do not approve of our Federal Government spending 700 billion dollars on a bail out of the banking industry.  I believe Dave Ramsey has come across a reasonable compromise.  The recommendation is this:  Let’s temporarily change the mark-to-market accounting law and then extend insurance to cover this; I would expect that would only cost the taxpayers about 35 billion which will only cost us 5% of what currently is proposed.  To me spending 35 billion is a compromise because I would be happier if we did nothing to bail out these ill ran companies.  I didn’t get any bail out money 2 years ago when I had to close my business? The Federal Govt should not be buying this debt and should not be making loans!  If my representatives decide to extend loans I will make it my mission to see that each and everyone of them is voted out of office!   I am working very hard here at home and living on a budget so that I will never be put in a position that I have to borrow money from anyone ever again and I don’t want my government doing it either! Last thing our country needs is to add another trillion to our National Debt!  I can’t help but suspect that my representatives somehow have their pockets in this. I am angry as hell about how this is being handled and I will do something about it! Trust me.
Sincerely,
Dustin Sherrill
