My fellow Patriots, tea party and 912 Members,
I ask you all to please read this letter, even though it is a long one and then go to the website above. My name is John Smaldone, I am a member of the Tea Party Nation,Tea Party Patriots, the Cross County Patriots and the Smokey Mountain Tea Party Patriots along with the 912 movement and proud of it.
I am writing the tea party organizers and tea party and 912 members because I seek your help in fighting for the goals we share. Because of this I am sending everyone this letter again and calling on you and the other tea party and 912 members. I have had a petition campaign going on now for over 6 months. The goal is to get 100,000 petitions, minimum. I have 3 congressmen and 2 senators that are willing to take it to the floor of the House in a proposal fashion if I can reach the amount of petitions needed. I just recently changed outline and up dated the issues to reflect the health care reform bill passage on March 21, 2010 and occurrences since then.
I am NOT looking for donations, in fact I will NOT accept any. I have been doing this through building an internet chain reaction and any cost related items have been at my own expense. I must say it has not been easy to reach our goal. I get petition's coming in daily but still far from our required goal . I work a full time job and burn the midnight candle every night answering the petitions coming in and sending out E-Mails like this to people like you, asking for help.
The tea party and 912 movements are getting more involved with the petition campaign. I am asking the members to fill out the petition on line and get other members to join in. My hope is that this petition will strengthen both of our positions and unite us into one, which this is what we need to regain the constitutional values we once lived by.
I contracted Lung cancer 18 months ago, I had surgery a year ago to have the lower portion of my right Lung removed. However, I am a cancer survivor. My life took on a different meaning from that point on. I am 65 years old, married for 45 years, have 2 daughters and 7 grandchildren. I have been in the mortgage banking industry for 42 years of which the past 9 years have been in the Reverse Mortgage industry working with senior citizens. I served my country proudly in the US Air Force. I am telling you all this so you will have a better understanding of me and my motivation for starting this campaign. The website is:
www.USA-GodandCountry-Petition.com
I ask you to please go to the site and read the 13 page outline, which includes 14 issues the petition stands for. If after you read it and if you believe in most of what it stands for along with the philosophy behind the outline and issues, please consider helping me.
If you don't believe in the issues that the petition stands for, I will understand and respect your views. We have so many challenges and things that are wrong in our great nation today, the God and Country petition only touches on a fraction of them. If you do believe in it for the most part, I need all of my tea party associates to help me.
When you fill out the petition, please put the TEA PARTY OR 912 organization you belong to in the comments section of the petition, we want it to be known that these are tea party and 912 members from all over the country. I appreciate all of you.
God Bless America,
JS
