Tea Party... April 15th 2009

Ethan, this is a photograph of your Granddaddy speaking at the Monteagle, Tennessee "Tea Party" on April 15th 2009. I have been interested in politics since I got out of college 41 years ago and I worked full-time as a political activist for almost 8 years in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I was the editor of a monthly tabloid-type magazine called the Freeman Letter. You are too little now to know about the state of our present economy but on the front page of our paper we always had an article called "Countdown to Depression." We were forecasting exactly what is happening right now over 20 years ago. We were also concerned that the federal government was usurping the authority granted by the U. S. Constitution while ignoring the Bill of Rights especially the 10th Amendment. At the time I thought the state of national affairs couldn't get any worse but I was sadly mistaken. I'm afraid the country can't recover from what has happened since you were born. I pray that you will have a good and happy life unfortunately America will be far different than during the last century. My methods and choices were not always effective but I hope and pray that one day you will be proud of what your Granddaddy tried to do... for your Mommy and for you.
I love you,
Granddaddy
