The patriots in Englewood Florida were excited and fired up when our Tea Party Express tour bus rolled into their town. Our rally was enthusiastic, upbeat and hopeful that real leadership needed to move America forward will be restored in November.
Unlike the Democrats who have accused our troops of being rapists and murders, Tea Party Express celebrates and honors our military. Each of our rallies ends with a military tribute in which we feature Gold Star Mom, Debbie Lee.
Debbie's decorated son, Marc Alan Lee, was the first U.S. Navy seal killed in Iraq.
At our rally in Englewood Florida, while Debbie was sharing the heart-wrenching compelling story about how her son sacrificed his life to save his fellow troops, an anti-war protester came forward and stood along side the stage with anti-war signs. Debbie said she watched the audience's eyes leave her and focus on the protester.
Thank God testosterone is not totally dead in America. Ray, our bus driver was infuriated by the timing of this jerk's decision to come to the front of the crowd. Ray stormed over to the guy and got in his face. Ray DID NOT touch the protester. Then, Ray turned around facing the audience blocking their view of the protester. The guy kept trying to push pass Ray. But, at 6'3, 250lbs, pushing pass Ray is a Herculean task.
Ray's leadership sparks other patriots, men and women, to come forward, forming a fence which blocked the frustrated protester from the crowd. Debbie continued her extremely moving story.
If only our Commander-in-Wimp had the cojones of Ray, the bus driver.
Debbie Lee has been dealing with attacks on her from the anti-war crowd for years. Years ago, when Debbie organized a troop support rally in her hometown, Cindy Sheehan tried to have Debbie arrested for in-sighting a riot. Did Debbie Lee bash the fellow Gold Star Mom, Ms Sheehan, for leading numerous campaigns to trash our military? No. Showing remarkable class, compassion and restraint, Debbie's response was, “Grief is a strange thing. I will not judge her.”
In honor of her fallen hero son, Debbie Lee founded, AmericasMightyWarriors.org, a non-profit which provides aid and comfort to the families of our fallen heroes. Please check it out.

It's truly amazing to see and hear the real American stories. When you hear them and your eyes tear up then you know it has hit home, We are not alone and there are more like us who Love this great country for all it stands for. God has so Blessed America that even in times of distruction we are able to stand up and Thank God for all He has given us. We will get through this election and we must not stop there for it has truly just begun. Our young have been mentally abused with trash that will affect them for years and we have to start there and save our future. God and Patriotism has to be back in our classrooms. I'm stuck in Mexico for another week, then home for a few days and off to Canada for a couple of months and the internet is all I get but it comforts me to know that men and women everywhere have stepped up and started to speak out, this fraud and all the damage he has and will do will not bring us down! We will be America, the bright and shining light on the hill again. God Bless and don't forget, We are not alone, speak up and listen to the support. Thanks Lloyd, you always make my day.
Comment by Rich Knoch on September 16, 2012 at 10:28am Freedom of speech cuts both ways . . . .
Leftist Useful Idiots are free to make fools of themselves and, so far, the rest of us can express our thanks to our nations heroes and our utter disgust with the direction this Regime has our nation headed; i.e., down the chutes to the dustbins of history.
November 6th . . . . Hurry Up!

Comment by Mike Meeks on September 16, 2012 at 10:08am The bus driver showed good judgment. I would have flattened the guy.
Good thing I wasn't there. It would probably be all over CNN and MSNBC
as to how violent the TEA PARTY IS. Old Vietnam vet that won't
take the crap.

Comment by Harold Conklin on September 16, 2012 at 9:31am Thank you brother for sharing this...having met you and Debbie many times here in Delaware and in DC, I have seen and felt the love and concern you both have AND don't hesitate to make it known, of all our brave dedicated troops. This love that you all have for our troops should be an inspiration to all you come in contact with. God Bless you ALL.
Comment by Debrajoe Smith-Beatty on September 16, 2012 at 9:22am Thanks for this great story.
Thank you Lloyd for relating the story and for all that you do. My friends in the Republican Club of South Sarasota County tell me the momentum is building for a tremendous Romney win in SW Florida. Volunteerism is up, signs are up, bumper stickers are on. If anyone in the Venice/Englewood area would like to help, the headquarters is at 250 Tamiami Trail on the Island in Venice. The phone number is 941 451 9120. Lets put up signs, talk to neighbors, and make sure BO goes back to Chicago in January of next year.
