Freedom Summit 2010
March 13th
The OTP Steering Committee is very
excited to announce the upcoming "Freedom
Summit" in Ellensburg on February 13th
(Saturday) from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM (we hope
to wrap it up by 3:30). This meeting of
leaders is open to all like minded
conservative groups and our aim is to reach
out and be as inclusive as possible. The
size of your group doesn't matter since we
recognize all groups are growing and will
continue to grow. Each group gets one
vote. Deciding on a few key issues will
help us avoid stepping on each others toes
and bind us together as never before. Our
aim is to begin coordinating all our
independent groups. Our goal is to keep our
independence while at the same time forgge
relationships and alliances for specific
coordinated goals.
Everyone we have talked with has greeted
the idea of this Summit with enthusiasm and
"two thumbs up" and frankly it is high time
leaders gather from across the State under
one roof.
Confirmed speakers are:
Speakers
Kirby Wilbur (keynote),
Justice Richard B. Sanders
Sen. Val Stevens
Rep. Bill Hinkle
Dr. Matt Manweller
Special Guests
John Carlson
These are all key conservative leaders
and we are working on a few more speakers
besides. The most important thing in my
mind though is that we have a meeting of the
minds and come away united in spirit,
purpose and practicality.
This is no ordinary rally. You will see
from the attached Registration Form that we
want to deal with only a few key issues.
We will have some short workshop sessions
and by getting your input ahead of time we
avoid the need for lengthy debate.
Our purpose is to gather and decide and
come away united.
Each group should be able to send one
person and the central location should allow
us to come and go in a single day. I've
attached the registration form for two
reasons: 1) So you can see what the agenda
is, and 2) so you can use it in your group
meetings as a point of discussion so when
your representative comes to Ellensburg on
the 13th your voice will be heard.
Let us be plain about a couple of
things. First, this is not an attempt to
start a political party (this is a summit,
not a convention). Second, we have no time
for nursing grudges or playing politics. It
is imperative in the current political
climate that we communicate, coordinate and
cooperate. That is what this meeting is all
about. So, be sure that your group sends a
representative. Here is what I am asking
you to do:
To
all groups concerned about abiding by
the Constitution,
loss of liberty, over-taxation, out of
control spending, job creation, and our
economic crisis.
Leaders of various
conservative organizations from across the
State are gathering in Ellensburg to network
and decide our common principles and
critical issues.
Each group gets
one vote in the process to help develop
these critical common issues and principles:
-
Vote to decide the issues or principles
that bind us together.
-
Vote on our "battle
cry" or slogan.
-
Vote on where & when to have the next
State-wide gathering in 2010.
-
We encouraged you to send two
participants, participation is limited so
please RSVP ASAP.
-
This is
NOT a convention or the start of a
political party.
-
Participating groups will receive a list
of participant's contact information.
-
We have worked hard to keep the cost at a
minimum- cost is $20 and includes lunch
and handouts.
What:
This is not another rally.
This is a
gathering of leaders to help chart the
course for 2010. This is YOUR meeting.

Our policy on
working with other groups is that of
cooperation and collaboration, even with
groups who may have differing opinions.
We seek to work with all groups whether
small or large on the basis of principle
instead of politics. Our two issues
are 1) fiscal responsibility and 2)
Constitutional rights (local, State
and Federal). Olympia Tea Party does
not boycotted other tea party events.
When a disagreement arises we seek to
communicate as best as we can and offer to
meet in order to resolve our differences.
If the other group decides not to meet OTP,
we will continue to work toward our common
goals. OTP pursues a course of
communication and cooperation as equals when
dealing with other organizations.
Since Bob Basso's presentation in Olympia on
Jan. 14th, the Olympia Tea Party has been forming
"Bulldog Action Teams" to tackle specific
issues. Our Bulldog Action Teams (BATs) will
handle both local issues (like city budgets
& school board issues) as well as State &
Federal issues. The bulldog is a
symbol that represents our tenacity as we
grapple with today's difficult policy
issues. Our goal is to tackle the
issues and come up with positive solutions
as we work with our elected officials.
This is an incredible program where your
involvement will make a difference.
The time for talk is over! It's
time to roll. Join one of our
action teams and get started.

RECENT EVENTS
January 14th, noon @ Senate hearing room #1
- Tea Party Q & A session with Legislators
Several Senators and
Representatives both R & D showed up to
interact with our group. We delivered
our message loud and clear: this is
not the time to raise taxes, and if you do
we will defeat you in November. We
heard from several Representatives that they
need our help to pass good pieces of
legislation as well as testify against bad
legislation. As a result we are
forming fast action bulldog teams to testify
at Committee Hearing meetings and visit
legislators.
January
14th 2:00 & 6:30 PM.
THE
TIME FOR
TALK IS OVER:
AN ACTION PLAN TO TAKE BACK AMERICA
with Dr. Bob
Basso (a.k.a. Thomas Paine)
Leave your politics at home. We're
gathering as concerned Americans
only!
We
learned from Bob what is going on
with the tea party across the
country. What is working &
what is not. Recent
independent poles indicate that 71%
of the country is with us! If
we stay true to our principles and
stand up as American citizens we
will turn our country around.
Yes we
are!
We
are organizing from the bottom up.
We are forming Fast Action Bulldog
Teams to defeat six bills in the
State Legislature this session.
The
Rev. Wayne Perryman opened with
prayer & the flag salute; then spoke
to us about about the importance of
standing shoulder to shoulder as
Americans of all ethnic backgrounds, just as
our American heritage has shown
us. He spoke at length
detailing the history of how whites
worked to ensure that "all men were
created equal" became a reality for
all Americans regardless of color.
He cited examples of black colleges
started by whites, and pointed out
the civil war was fought mostly by
whites to rid slavery from our land.

We disagreed
with Bush's overspending and abandonment of
free market principles in 2008; and we
disagree with the Obama-Pelosi-Reid
overspending now and their abandonment of
our Construction in 2009-10. We care
about our kids and don't want to leave them
with unsustainable debt. And we agree
with Hillary Clinton when she said "We are
Americans and we have the right to debate
and disagree with any administration"
