Happy Independence Day!
On July 4th 1776, the wording for the Declaration of Independence was approved; “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
56 men joined together to create not just a new nation but a new form of government, unique in its design and brilliant in its ability to be relevant today. Our founding fathers, different in so many ways, shared a common belief that freedom and liberty are worth everything. “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
So on this special day; remember what was done for us in order for us to enjoy living in the greatest country on earth. As we remember, let us also teach our children about our American heritage. The Congress, U. S. House Judiciary Committee, 1854 said this, “Had the people, during the Revolution, had a suspicion of any attempt to war against Christianity, that Revolution would have been strangled in its cradle… In this age, there can be no substitute for Christianity… That was the religion of the founders of the republic and they expected it to remain the religion of their descendants.”
So may God bless you all on this Independence Day!
At your Service,
Glenn E. Gallas

All three Arkansas Democrats Vote to erode your privacy
Earlier today, the House of Representatives shredded the First Amendment by voting 219-206 to pass H.R. 5175, the DISCLOSE Act.
As hard as it is to believe, they made the bill (which should really be called the Establishment Protection Act) even worse in the hours leading up to the vote by including more provisions to benefit their Big Labor pals and to obtain further details on those opposed to their power grabs.
Thanks to the actions of TEA Partiers like Citizens for the American Agenda and the Garland County TEA party, as well as other freedom-minded activists across the country, the vote on H.R. 5175 came down to the wire and was much closer than expected. Your pressure reminded them that we are serious about holding our elected officials accountable for their actions.
Matter of fact, your calls made such an impact that some freedom fighting organizations were even mentioned on the House floor during the debate!
This vote is by no means the end of the fight, and the battle to protect Americans’ right to free speech and to keep the federal government from gathering even more information about us now moves on to the Senate, where the bill faces many challenges.
There are several steps you can take to ensure the Establishment Protection Act is decisively defeated in the Senate.
First, contact your senators right away and make sure they know we have not given up on this critical issue. Click here to find their contact information and urge them to oppose H.R. 5175 and all other attempts to curb free speech.
Next, call the NRA headquarters at 1-800-672-3888 and their Legislative Action group at 1-800-392-8683 and tell them to drop their compromise and actively oppose H.R. 5175.
Without their special deal with House leaders, DISCLOSE may have been stopped in its tracks before ever reaching the House floor in the first place.
Finally, please forward this email to your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers so we can spread the message about the threat posed by the Establishment Protection Act.
We TEA Partiers have enjoyed more success than the statists ever imagined possible, and they would love nothing more than to shut us down by going after our donors.
Let’s show them that the Freedom movement will never back down.
As our we celebrate Fathers Day let us remember there was a time in our nations history when we truly honored fatherhood. Those days seem so far away now as the deterioration of the traditional family continues with governmental support. Our nations traditional values have been compromised by trying to be more inclusive to alternative lifestyles and less supportive of the traditional family. If this trend is allowed to continue we will see a collapse of our nation. The strength of our nation is the family, therefore our leaders should always look for ways to strengthen the family unit. Let’s look for and elect those who not only believe in strong families, but will defend and fight for them. To all the fathers I say, “Happy Fathers day and remember the future of our nation rests on your shoulders!” May God richly bless you.
Ever Forward,
Glenn Gallas
Keep the Pressure On!
“Educate and inform the whole mass of the people… They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” Thomas Jefferson
You have kept the pressure on Congress in order to defeat H.R. 5175, the “DISCLOSE ACT,” and it has worked.
For now.
Nancy Pelosi has canceled today’s scheduled vote on H.R. 5175, but our sources on the Hill tell us Pelosi and her statist cronies are biding their time in the hopes you will forget about their all-out assault to silence groups like C4AA, the Garland County TEA Party, PAL, AFP, American Majority, and more; and attempt to sneak this bill through Congress sometime next week.
It is more vital than ever that we keep the pressure on. We need to drive a stake through the heart of this bill and make sure it does not rise from the dead. Remember when everyone said ObamaCare was finished when Scott Brown got elected?
If you have not yet called or contacted Congressman Ross, please do so NOW. We have a small window of time to work with, but we need to make sure HR 5175 will be DOA. So please take a moment to contact Congressman Ross and demand he oppose H.R. 5175. Even if you have called one or more times, PLEASE take a moment to send a loud, clear message again today.
Call Representative Mike Ross at 202-225-3772 right away and INSIST that he uphold your First Amendment right to free speech and vote against H.R. 5175, the Establishment Protection Act (also known as the Disclosure Act). Then, please sign the petition by following the link below.
Please note: From time to time we work with other groups. On this occasion, when the incumbents who deserve to be tossed out via the ballot box are trying to protect their seats through HR 5175. One of the groups has a petition set up for you to sign. Signed petitions will be hand delivered to Congressman Mike Ross. We must stop HR 5175, so please click here to sign the petition. Thank you and God Bless!
This has been verified by the Wall Street Journal as well. From time to time we work with other groups. On this occasion, when the incumbents who deserve to be tossed out via the ballot box are trying to protect their seats through HR 5175. One of the groups has a petition set up for you to sign. Signed petitions will be hand delivered to Congressman Mike Ross. We must stop HR 5175, so please click here to sign the petition. Thank you and God Bless!
Dear Defenders of Freedom,
Once again, free speech and political liberty are under attack in Congress. And this time they have a surprising (to some) assailant — the National Rifle Association.
In a minute, I’ll give you links to the sorry story and ask you to tell the NRA and your congressman you OPPOSE the freedom-killing DISCLOSE ACT, with or without the NRA’s deal.
You see, if there is one thing the establishment hates, it is watching its hand-picked candidates be held accountable for their records on liberty issues.
They want their Big Government power grabs to go unnoticed.
After watching some of their favorites go down in flames in race after race these past few months and seeing their statist schemes like Cap and Tax grind to a halt as a result of a massive uprising by liberty-loving Americans like YOU, they plan to strike back.
In a move that has dire consequences for our First Amendment right to freedom of speech and for our ability to fight for our freedoms, incumbent politicians have colluded with a super-sized establishment lobbying group, the National Rifle Association, to push H.R. 5175, the DISCLOSE ACT, or as I like to call it, the “Establishment Protection Act,” through the House of Representatives as soon as this week.
According to Politico, the NRA bargained for an exemption for itself and other large, established groups while trampling the rights of private citizens, new groups (Citizens for the American Agenda and the Garland County TEA Party), and small organizations. Organizations such as American Majority, Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Works will be in the cross hairs of the establishment too.
As John Bresnahan reports, “The proposal would exempt organizations that have more than 1 million members, have been in existence for more than 10 years, have members in all 50 states and raise 15 percent or less of their funds from corporations… The NRA, with 4 million members, will not actively oppose the DISCLOSE Act, according to Democratic sources.”
RedState’s Erick Erickson mentions one of our Regional Conference sponsors when saying, “I support Gun Owners of America, which is a consistent and uncompromising defender of the second amendment, not a weak little girl of an organization protecting itself while throwing everyone else under the bus.”
Another pro-gun organization friendly to us, the National Association for Gun Rights, said in a national email, “And frankly, this craven deal by the NRA will damage our gun rights and our free speech rights.”
As we hold politicians accountable and put them on record with our issue discussion program, the Establishment Protection Act will force organizations like C4AA, AFP, FW, GCTEA Party to turn over the names of their “top” donors for exercising our First Amendment rights.
You see, they are targeting groups like ours because they think their “right” to hold office is more important than YOUR rights to privacy and free speech.
Citizens for the American Agenda and the Garland County TEA Party has experienced tremendous growth this past year, and the establishment knows we are out there every day fighting back against its statist power grabs.
They watch as we inform you which candidates support the Constitution and which candidates refuse to take a stand on liberty issues.
And they know we won’t play their Washington game of trading principle for power. They want to silence us once and for all by going after our donors.
We will not be silenced, and we will lead the fight against the Establishment Protection Act so you have the right to speak freely without your name and personal information being turned over to Big Brother.
Call Representative Mike Ross at 202-225-3772 right away and INSIST that he uphold your First Amendment right to free speech and vote against H.R. 5175, the Establishment Protection Act (also known as the Disclosure Act).
After you contact your representative, call the NRA headquarters at 1-800-672-3888 and their Legislative Action group at 1-800-392-8683 and let them know how you feel about their move to stab freedom organizations in the back.
Please note that when you call the NRA legislative group, they give you an option to listen about HR 5175. When you listen, they make you think that they are not throwing us smaller groups under the bus. However, they ARE!
Thank you so much for joining the fight for our freedoms.
Celebrate With the National Flag Day Foundation
Our mission is to carry on the tradition of the first flag day observance. On June 14th, 1885, Bernard J. Cigrand, a 19 year old teacher at Stony Hill School, placed a 10 inch, 38- star flag in a bottle on his desk then assigned essays on the flag and its significance. This observance, commemorated Congresses adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777. This observance was also the beginning of Cigrand’s long years of fervent and devoted effort to bring about national recognition and observance of Flag Day. The crowning achievement of his life came at age fifty when President Wilson, on May 30, 1916, issued a proclamation calling for a nation wide observance of Flag Day. Then in 1949, President Truman signed an Act Of Congress designating the 14th day of June every year as National Flag Day. On June 14th, 2004, the 108th U.S. Congress voted unanimously on H.R. 662 that Flag Day originated in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin.
The National Flag Day Foundation joins forces with community groups and individuals that love our flag and want to keep its traditions alive.
Our goal is to teach Americanism, using Flag history, enlisting 4-H groups, VFW, Scouts and other patriots to teach the lessons of our great flag.
Rest rest here.
Urgent Request
The flooding tragedy in Caddo Gap that claimed the lives of at least 20 people warrants our continued prayers and the lifting up of those families who have suffered the loss of a loved one and of those who are still praying and searching for missing family and friends. In these most difficult times, I ask that my friends and viewers remember the suffering families in their prayers. I know that words can sometimes give comfort, but only God’s word can bring healing to those who have suffered such a tragic loss.
If you need to report someone missing after the flood, please call the Department of Emergency Management at 888-683-2336.
God Bless,
Glenn Gallas
