Video of My Appearance at the "Tea Party" at Morristown, New Jersey

By Michael Cutler

This past Saturday, (October 31st) I was invited to address a rally at Morristown, New Jersey under the auspices of the "Tea Party" movement that is sweeping our country. The audience consisted of hundreds of concerned citizens who are determined to take back control of our government.

As you might expect, I spoke primarily about the impact of the immigration crisis confronting our nation today.

Having met with a number of the folks in the audience I was happy to see that those who attended were not only political conservatives but represented a broad spectrum of political orientation.

Here are links to a video of my appearance at that event that was posted on You Tube:

It is clear that the level of frustration of average Americans is increasing and that frustration is motivating them to participate in these rallies being held across our nation. Please take the time to watch the videos and, if you like them, kindly forward this e-mail to as many of your friends as possible. I also ask that you check out my website:

If you find yourself to be in agreement with this commentary, I ask that you forward to as many of your friends and family members as possible and encourage them to do the same.

Next year each and every member of the House of Representatives is up for reelection. Next year more than one third of the members of the United States Senate will have to face their constituents. They need to be reminded that they work for us, We the People!

However, the practice of good citizenship does not end in the voting booth, it only begins there. The large scale apathy demonstrated by citizens of this nation has emboldened elected representatives to all but ignore the needs of the average American citizen in a quest for massive campaign funds and the promises of votes to be ostensibly delivered by special interest groups. There is much that we cannot do but there is one thing that We the People absolutely must do- we must stop sitting on the sidelines!

The collective failure of We the People to get involved in make our concerns known to our politicians have nearly made the concerns of the great majority of the citizens of this nation all but irrelevant to the politicians.

I implore you to get involved! If this situation concerns you or especially if it angers you, I ask you to call your Senators and Congressional "Representative. This is not only your right- it is your obligation! You need to politely but pointedly, demand to know what they are doing to protect our nation. You need to ask them how they are protecting you and your families.

All I ask is that you make it clear to our politicians that we are not as dumb as they hope we are! We live in a perilous world and in a perilous era. The survival of our nation and the lives of our citizens hang in the balance This is neither a Conservative issue, nor is it a Liberal issue- simply stated, this is most certainly an AMERICAN issue! You are either part of the solution or you are a part of the problem! Democracy is not a spectator sport! Lead, follow or get out of the way!
