“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

September Meeting highlights

Here is a quick summary of what was discussed at the monthly meeting on 13 September 2011; my apologies for the delay, but I've been on the road for work:
  • National:  Go to www.TeaPartyPatriots.org for great information on national activities.  This month is Constitution Week, 17-23 September, including "Adopt A School", an all year program.  
  • State:  The caucuses for the 2012 National Conventions are scheduled for 3 March 2012 in every county across the state.  Our national delegates are selected primarily by popular vote at each session.  Only those present can vote.  If we want TEA Party delegates to go, we need to attend the meeting.  Set this date on your calendar, and stand by for updates.
  • Local: Agenda 21 was discussed; that will be discussed in a separate post.  An effort to insure that the Constitution in the schools was reported, especially the favorable reception from the school administration.
  • Speakers:  We had two: Chris Plucker, who is running for Position #6 on the Walla Walla City Council, and Sheriff John Turner.  Mr. Plucker presented his campaign platform to the group.  Sheriff Turner, who was not scheduled to speak, did attend, and was asked to discuss the recent articles concerning the budget for his department.
 The next meeting is 11 October 2011 (all meetings are now on the 2nd Tuesday of each month), starting with the business meeting at 6:30 PM, and the main event at 7:00 PM.  The Finance Manager for the City of Walla Walla will be discussing the budget with us.
