A Word from Lisa

2/24/2009

10 Comments

 

First, I would like to thank everyone for their overwhelming show of support and patriotism.  It has been truly inspiring! 

Secondly, I think it’s time to let everyone know exactly how this whole thing began.  My name is Lisa Feroli.   I am an ordinary citizen like each of you.  And like most of you, I have become very distressed about the trends of the government toward what I feel is a socialistic agenda.  So, I figured I would create an email address  where people of like mind could email and maybe share their thoughts and ideas with me.  I also emailed Bud Hedinger to ask if he knew any organizations who may want to stage a rally.  Little did I know, I was to BECOME that organization!  Bud announced that I wanted to hold a rally and the emails came flooding in.  Every type of person imaginable emailed with their stories, frustration and most importantly an overwhelming love of this country.   I suddenly felt obligated to make this happen for our city and for our country.

Since then, I have been working with a small group of close friends and family and of course, Bud to make this happen.  As you’ve heard, we have secured the venue and have Lloyd Marcus entertaining.  So many of you have ideas and questions and we welcome all of your suggestions.  This day is for all of us and we will do our best to represent everyone to the best of our ability, while keeping a central focus. 

We are still in the very early stages of our planning, so please bear with us for a few more days if our updates are not as comprehensive as you might like.  We will update everyday so that you can be assured that we are working hard on making this happen.  We are also reading every email.  Forgive us if we do not respond to your questions immediately, we are simply overwhelmed.  For those offering help, rest assured that you will be contacted at some point when we have a better grasp of what our needs will be.  We are carefully filing all your requests/offers.

Though planning is still very much in progress, there are a few points that we can share:

-Most importantly this will be  a peaceful rally of local citizens who are concerned about the direction our country is headed in.  However, it will be a gathering of Hope, Patriotism and Determination.  We want our representatives to know that we ARE watching and we do not like what we are seeing.  We have been silent too long and we are ready to reclaim our government.  
 

-Though this is billed as a “Tea Party” we cannot stress enough that we will not tolerate anything being thrown into our beautiful Lake Eola for any reason. 
 
We hope to have additional information for you very soon and will certainly post it here as soon as we have it.  Thank you again for all of your support.  Remember that YOU are the ones making this happen.  Please continue to spread the word!

Hello from Instapundit. It was very decent of Glenn to link you and I suspect you'll get a bunch of traffic from it. I'm not much of a joiner and I probably won't come down to Eola on the 21st as I try to stay clear of Orlando as much as possible, but I donated a bit to the cause and hope your event is a smashing success and inspires a lot of folks to stand up for their principles.

Good luck!

I emailed you earlier about getting some roast "stimulus" for the occasion. My question is whether we have hooked up with hispanic organizations in our community that would be supportive of our cause. If anyone would have contacts, that would be Mel Martinez.

Take your time. You've got tons of work to do!

I am going to email Michelle Malkin and Pajamas TV about the event. They have been covering many of them around the country.

What we need to do is put pressure on our Mayors Mr. Richard Crotty and Mr. Buddy Dyer as they are the "leaders" of our County and City have taken our tax dollars and allowed unethical contractors to use illegal workers to do our construction jobs.

This is our money Mr Mayors and we do not enjoy seeing undocumented workers filling up the construction postions on Federal and State projects!!!

Both of these men should be invited to the Tea Party and if they don't show we should get an answer as to why.

Girls: Saw you on Glenn Beck today, much impressed. I live in a small town in WA state and the Seattle Tea party will take place on tax day 4/15. It's about 200 miles away and I may not be able to make it, but your efforts are giving me more energy to get out and let my voice be heard. Good job, keep up the good work. Kathy
