The anti-tax “tea party” protests held April 15 were so successful that two Republican governors are trying a variation of the formula Thursday.
Rick Perry of Texas and Mark Sanford of South Carolina are holding a town hall meeting by way of a telephone conference call to mobilize support for the anti-tax cause, states’ rights and a smaller federal government.
The event is formally called “The Fight for Freedom Call.” Pundits have dubbed it “Tea Party 2.0.”
Each governor will speak for several minutes, and then they will answer caller questions for an hour. The Republican Governors Association expects 30,000 people to listen in.

RGA Executive Director Nick Ayers told Politico news service that the event constitutes “a great opportunity to mobilize that support.”
He says Perry and Sanford “heard the frustration” of the tea party protestors and “understand that our Republican governors are the best positioned to lead on these issues.”
The RGA hopes the event will jumpstart grassroots support for Republican efforts to win the elections for governor this year in Virginia and New Jersey.
“We don’t have to wait until 2010 to send a message to Democrats in Washington that they are spending too much and borrowing too much,” Ayers says. “We’ll have an opportunity to do that this year.”
Many Republicans see the Tea Party movement as a way to galvanize opposition to Democratic policies.
“All you have to be is a mildly awake Republican candidate for office to get in front of that parade,” Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, told Associated Press. |

Illuminati Will Pretend to Lead Resistance to NWO [Truer words were never spoken…]
April 19, 2009
(Texas Governor, Rick Perry left)
by Henry Makow and Richard Evans
Secession has been a verboten issue in the United States since the end of the Civil War. Any group who’ve brought it up have been targeted by press and government as ‘militant fringe groups” All of a sudden in 2009, we’re seeing it endorsed by career politicians in several states simultaneously, and the media is giving them good press.
Last week, Rick Perry, Texas Governor since George W. Bush’s departure in 2000, raised secession of Texas from the Federal Union at a Ron Paul type ‘Tea Party” to protest Federal spending and the tax burden on the little guy.
Clearly the Illuminati intend to harness and divert popular discontent to advance their own secret agenda, i.e. the melding of the USA into their world government. Many people think the tea party movement in general exhibits a suspicious amount of organization and media acceptance. (Contrast Fox TV’s coverage of this with “9-11 Truth.”)
Perry later told the Star-Telegram that he “never specifically said that Texas should consider trying to secede.” Technically he’s correct. He got cheers telling the Tea Party rabble that the Republic of Texas legislature left a provision in the 1845 agreement to cede with the US Federal government.
But Perry is no populist. In May 2007, Dallas Morning News reported, “Gov. Rick Perry is flying to Istanbul, Turkey, today to speak at the super-secret Bilderberg Conference, a meeting of about 130 international leaders in business, media and politics.” All the Governor’s press secretary had to say was, “He’s looking forward to learning the secret handshake.” And, “It’s their conference, and I suppose they can run it anyway they want.” Perry’s expenses were officially paid by the PAC group ‘Texans for Rick Perry’.
Although he’s never cared what the voters want, Perry intends to run for an unprecedented third term for Governor in 2010
Perry’s gubernatorial resume includes supporting ‘Open Borders’; proponent of the $145 billion+ Trans-Texas (NAFTA) Highway to the dismay and anger of central Texas residents who have never been consulted on whether they want or need it. (Thousands of square miles of land has been seized by the State of Texas under eminent domain for this project in Central Texas from the Mexican border just west of San Antonio, Austin, and and Dallas and North Texas.) Perry helped set it up so the project is being built by the Spanish contractor Cinta, and paid for by new toll highways all over the State.
Perry further alienated Texas parents and Legislators by attempting to override a “No” decision on mandatory vaccination of 11-year-old girls with an vaccine for an STD, venereal & warts (the $350 a pop “slut shot.”) Perry invoked Executive Order in Feb 2007, but families filed class action suit and many financial connections between Perry and big pharma corporation Merck came out. Perry backed down but a new bill has been introduced that will make Gardasil mandatory “as an admission requirement for all primary and secondary schools.”
THE REAL SECESSIONISTS
The real secessionist movement were arrested, one killed in 1997. Old school Texans will remember there was a genuine grass roots secessionist movement during the 70’s through the 90’s. They called themselves the Republic of Texas. During the 80’s one couldn’t miss seeing thousands of ‘SECEDE!’ bumper stickers in Houston and Austin traffic. Few people took the Secessionists seriously, but the Federal and Texas governments did. Secessionist movement leaders were hunted down and arrested or killed in West Texas in 1997..
The story made the New York Times and CNN, referring to them as ‘militant secession group’ and ‘fringe group’. The group, led by Richard McLaren, stated historical fact that the original Republic of Texas legislature had never ratified Texas becoming a territory or State of the United States. The Republic of Texas was chartered as a sovereign nation recognized by the United States government at the time.
All the Republic of Texas members had been calling for was an official state wide public referendum so citizens could decide whether they wanted to remain under Federal government or reclaim Republic status.
One secessionist was killed in the Davis Mountains by Texas State Police helicopter snipers. No other witnesses. How is it that Governor Rick Perry is getting full media support using the same arguments a ‘militant fringe group’ did?
MEANWHILE IN TRINIDAD
The melding of the United States into the world government continues apace at the Latin American summit. Obama is offering Cuba a “new beginning” and exchanging Masonic handshakes with Chavez of Venezuela. He is telling them that the US is no longer a senior partner but an equal in the hemisphere.
None of this should be a surprise [though apparently it is to many who see themselves as “informed”]. Obama, Chavez and Castro are all Freemasons and Communists, and the New World Order is Masonic and Communist. Insider Christian Rakovsky said the purpose of Freemasonry is to bring about Communism.
The Agenda will advance without a glitch as long as the Illuminati can continue to pretend to represent their own opposition.

The “Fight for Freedom Call” lasted about 75 minutes. Governors Perry(Texas) and Sandford (South Carolina) mainly spoke about taxes and spending without addressing the issue: the Federal Government is way too big and rapidly becoming collectivist.
They frequently paused to solicit money for governor 2009 races in New Jersey and Virginia, and for 30+ races in 2010.
They took about ten calls mainly from South Carolina (Tariff of Abomination 1828, Nullification Crisis 1831-32), Georgia, Texas, New Jersey. In my opinion, the best question was from a young lady who was frightened by the talk of secession and wanted to know what she could do right now, rather than wait for mid-term elections.
In reply, the governor’s (don’t remember which one) urged her to pick a local issue, tel five friends to “support” it, who would tell five friends …
The governor’s also invited callers to write to them with ideas.
Perry https://www.rickperry.org/
Republican Governors Association https://www.rga.org/
My call wasn’t taken. I would have said people should support the House bills and fight S 909. the “Hate Crimes Bill”.
Overall, the call event disappointed me.
Get signs advertising these bills ready for the July 4th Tea Party.
Visit your local Republican party gathering, push these bills, and flush the RINOs if you have any energy left.
C’mon, Citizens, keep busy, keep connected, and more opportunities will present themselves. “Never Give Up”!
