Hello all,

I think last night's quarterly meeting went well. There were more people attending than I thought there might be. Thanks to everyone who came!

The 2 candidates for U.S. House, District 6, Paul Lambert and Dr. Stan Cook, were very well-spoken. It's exciting to have people running for public office who are willing to stand up for Liberty. Just having more folks run starts a dialog and sheds more light on the cause.

Since Marcelo is now the C4L state coordinator, I will be the county coordinator. Please let me know if there is anything in particular that you guys would like to do or to see accomplished in Shelby County!

Don't forget that we have another meeting on June 18th - Meet the Candidates.  State Representative Cam Ward is scheduled to speak!  The venue is tentatively Neighborhood CPAP again.  However, I'm not sure how many people will show up, so the location is still a little bit in the air.  Please look out for an announcement with more information.

Last night Zan discussed the origins of the Rainy Day Patriots and the Birmingham Tea Parties.  The Tax Day Tea Party in April was wildly successful.  There will be another Tea Party on July 4, 2009 at the Verizon Wireless Music Center.  Look for another post with more information in the future, or go to rainydaypatriots.org.  We would like to sell T-shirts with our logo on them to raise a little money.  In April we homemade them; we will look into this more thoroughly as the event comes closer.

Last night Cathy suggested a get-together with drinks & discussion. Not an official meeting, but more casual. Would anyone be interested in attending, & possibly bringing a friend? Would 2 weeks from now work, let's say about 7:30 on Thursday, June 11, 2009? Is that a good night for everyone? What do you think about having it at On Tap at Hwy. 280? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Thank you!
Jesie
