One of our own, Mike Barry, is running for Highlands County Commission. Mike was one of the founding members of the Highlands County Teaparty and has been the lead off speaker at the first two evens we held. A sustaining member, Mike is firmly embedded as a low tax, small government candidate, and in true Teaparty fashion is running with no party affiliation. We have held one meeting where members of the Highlands Teaparty had a chance to hear him speak and answer questions. His campaign slogan is "No More Boondoggles," meaning that he will not support any more large projects such as the asphalt plant or the multi-million dollar sports complex. Moreover, he has pledged to stand firm against any tax increase. We urge members to stop by Highlands Angler, meet and talk to Mike about his effort to bring sanity to local government. |

HIGHLANDS TODAY WROTE THIS ARTICLE ABOUT THE TEAPARTY MOVEMENT Take some tie to readi it, digest it and tell them what you think. You might also want to show up at the republican or democrat meetings and let their leadership know your opinion as well. SEBRING - One is a retired teacher who has an alpaca farm. Another was a paralegal. One used to work in banks and another was a homemaker. Until recently they didn't know each other but all shared a growing concern about the way the country was being run. Then Congress approved a series of stimulus packages to jump start the economy and rescue Wall Street, failing banks and Big Auto. Mandatory government-run health insurance started looking as a possibility and Washington, D.C. kept dithering on stronger laws against illegal immigration. Today, Richard Fankhauser, Mary Bengtson, Phyllis Moloney and Gladys Nealon are a few local taxpayers and citizens fighting what they say is a people's war against big government, unbridled spending in Washington and the onslaught of socialism in the United States. |

Please be our guest to the first viewing in Charlotte County of the highly acclaimed documentary Not Evil Just Wrong.
Global warming alarmists want Americans to believe that humans are killing the planet. But Not Evil Just Wrong, a new documentary by Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, proves that the only threats to America (and the rest of the world) are the flawed science and sky-is-falling rhetoric of Al Gore and his allies in environmental extremism. |

"We the people of Highlands County, Florida, join with others and are united in our determination to raise awareness of the excessive government spending and taxation. Our earnest hope is to motivate the forces of change and end the era of punitive taxation, reckless spending, and disregard of our inalienable human rights by our local, state, and federal governments. We invite all who are willing to insist on Accountability, Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets to join with us in our effort to reestablish the independence and liberty of every American." |

1. I believe in a balanced budget and therefore will vote for a freeze in government spending until that goal is realized. 2. I believe government should not increase the financial burden on its citizenry during a difficult economic times, therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded. 3. I believe more than four decades of US dependence on foreign oil is a travesty, therefore I will support an energy plan that calls for immediately increasing usage of all domestic resources including nuclear energy, natural gas and coal as necessary. 4. I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points so we will know who is entering and why. I will vehemently oppose any measure giving another country, the United Nations, or any other entity power over US citizens. 5. I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on earth and therefore will not apologize for policies or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on the planet. |
