A Message from Tea Party Express' own, Lloyd Marcus:
A few Memorial Days ago, I was sitting comfortably on my sofa, enjoying salty snacks and a refreshing sweet tea while watching a program honoring our military on TV. Mary would inform me when the charcoals were ready to throw on the steaks. Life was good.
Featured in the TV program was Veteran actor, Charles Durning who was a U.S. Army Ranger during WWII. Durning won the Silver Star for gallantry and was awarded three Purple Hearts for bravery at Normandy.
Despite his remarkable achievements and sacrifices for freedom, still moved after all these years, Durning humbly stood at the podium and wept for his fallen brothers. Wow, do they make real men like Durning anymore?
After the TV program honoring Durning and other American heroes, the following program honored great American conscientious objectors.
Folks, it was quite annoying watching these guys, conscientious objectors, being portrayed as superior human beings while pontificating about the evils of war and why they chose not to participate. I thought, “You guys are free to enjoy success, freedom and spout your crap “in English” because brave men like Charles Durning fought on your behalf. How dare you!”
Debbie Lee is the mom of Marc Alan Lee, the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq. On numerous occasions, Marc stepped up putting himself at risk to defend his fellow soldiers. In response to the death of her decorated son and experiencing first hand the challenges facing the families of fallen soldiers, Debbie Lee founded AmericasMightyWarriors.org. http://bit.ly/iSLTD1
Almost a year ago, musicians, singers and bands across America responded to my call to come together to record a song titled, Taking Back America and donate their recorded songs for an album to celebrate America, honor our military and benefit the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, AmericasMightyWarriors.org.
The response was overwhelming. From Country music to rap by a black conservative and every genre in between, we selected the best 44 songs from hundreds of submissions. Jo Piazza at FoxNews titled the project, Tea Are The World.
Now, here is the truly heartwarming divine providence aspect of the project. We had no money for recording, manufacturing, distribution or marketing. When asked about such details, my response was, “I don't know?” I felt God only instructed me to put out the call to musicians. He did not fill me in on how it would all come together.
Remember the old Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland movies? In the films a character would say, “Let's put on our own show!” Another character would say, “That's a great idea! My uncle has 500 chairs stored in his garage.” They would rally together and put on an amazing production.
Tea Are The World pretty much came together the same way. Get this folks, around 100 musicians across America flew or drove, on their own dime, to Deltona Records in Florida to record, Taking Back America.
Emmy winning TV producer Norvell Rose informed me that he and his son, Conner, would be coming down from Virginia to attend the recording session to produce a music video and “Making of Tea Are The World” documentary; all for FREE. Both are included on DVD in the Tea Are The World package.
Deltona Records owner, music producer and engineer Frank Starchak is famed for recording Tupac Shakur and numerous other celebrities. Starchak recorded and produced the 100 musicians singing, Taking Back America. Starchak also mastered the 44 song double CD set included in the Tea Are The World package; completely FREE of charge.
Professional distributor, Tom Horn, offered to distribute Tea Are The World FREE of charge.
Singer, Lisa Scott Kelly and Debbie Lee, founder of AmericasMightyWarriors.org, shook the trees and found funds for manufacturing; which was our only expense. Everything has been donated.
Rev. Minion told me how his wife Danielle, a professional graphic designer, got involved. Upon hearing about Tea Are The World on the news, Danielle said, “Honey, I feel I am suppose to help these people”.
Danielle Minion designed the Tea Are The World package and promotional materials. She did all of the production artwork work needed to prepare the package for manufacturing. Danielle donated her services FREE of charge.
Now here is the kicker, after Danielle committed to our project, she became pregnant. Of her three pregnancies, this one has been the worst; sick almost very day. Then, Danielle's files of the project became corrupted. Rev. Minion said in Danielle's years in the business, never have so many things interrupted her completing a project.
Folks, I am pleased and grateful to announce that Tea Are The World is completed, beautifully packaged and available for purchase. Praise God.
Please do not think I am dissing other fund raisers. I am simply stating a fact. With some, when the dust clears, as little as 10% goes to the charity. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of Tea Are The World go to AmericasMightyWarriors.org which benefits the families of our fallen soldiers.
Because of the sacrifices of our military which include brave women and men like Charles Durning and Marc Alan Lee, we are blessed to enjoy Memorial Day cookouts with our families. Please remember the families of our fallen soldiers; AmericasMightyWarriors.org.

Teaing It Up In Vegas To Defeat Obama
A Message From Tea Party Express' Own, Lloyd Marcus
I just returned home to Florida after co-hosting a 3 hour radio-thon in Vegas. We raised funds for the Campaign To Defeat Obama in 2012, of which, I am Vice Chair.
Las Vegas is the epitome of unlimited “outside of the box” anything is possible thinking. I love visionaries. Imagine the guy in a Bellagio hotel board meeting who said, “I realize we are located in a desert, but let's put a 1000 foot fountain out front with water shooting 250 feet in the air dancing to beautiful music!” http://bit.ly/irddGx
Then, there is the guy at the Mirage hotel who said, “Let's put a volcano out front which erupts with fire every hour”. Viva Las Vegas!
I had a wonderful exchange with one of the door men at my hotel whom I will call Joe (not his real name). “Excuse me sir, are you that tea party guy?” I replied, “Yes”. “I thought that was you.”
Joe, who is a union member, gave me the inside scoop regarding the illogical re-election of U.S. Senator Harry Reid. Nevada has high unemployment and ranks number one in the nation for foreclosures. Why on earth would voters re-elect Reid? According to Joe, union thugs bullied members who were not Reid supporters. They also pressured uninterested union members to vote and sent buses to take them to the polls. Joe said the union's intimidation tactics had no effect on him.
I offered Joe a tip for helping with my luggage. Joe said, “No way pal, I ain't takin' your money. I really appreciate what you are doin'”.
Before leaving my hotel room for the radio station, I read an email from a black woman. “Mr Marcus, what is your tea party doing for African-Americans?” I thought to reply, “Absolutely
Nothing!”
Why should we pandering to blacks, Hispanics or any other group? We are saving America for all Americans...period!
Then it dawned on me, we are doing something which will dramatically benefit “African Americans”. We are getting rid of Barack Obama in 2012.
Black unemployment rate under Obama is sky high, up to 16%. http://bit.ly/jeoKAQ
In the Washington DC charter school voucher program, black students were testing high winning them national attention. Obama ended the program to appease his faithful voters, the Teachers Union.
The abortion rate among black women far exceeds that of other groups. 50% of black babies are aborted. Obama enthusiastically supports Planned Parenthood and abortion.
So, to the black woman who emailed me asking what the tea party is doing for African Americans, we are performing a major service guaranteed to enrich the lives of not just blacks, but all Americans. We are kicking King Obama out of the Oval Office in 2012.
Special thanks to all of the patriots across the country who called in and donated during our Campaign To Defeat Obama radio-thon. While we were extremely grateful for the larger contributions, I found the twelve and eighteen dollar donations particularly heartwarming.
Such specific amounts imply the callers gave all they could afford. That's great. This is a We The People movement with everyone doing their part and whatever they can.
As I flew out of Vegas headed home, I say goodbye in a way which pays tribute to the late great King of Rock & Roll, Mr. Vegas, “Marcus has left the building”.

Sarah Palin, Leader of The Pack
A Message From Tea Party Express' Own, Lloyd Marcus
So, who do I like as our republican presidential candidate in 2012? Parodying the song recorded by The Shangri-Las: “The liberal media is always putting her down (down,down). They said, she came from the wrong said of town. They told us she was bad. Then I knew she was the best we had. That's when I fell for the leader of the pack.” Who am I singing about? Obviously, the one and only Sarah Palin.
Folks, it is a bit too early to go “all in” on any presidential candidate. I really like Herman Cain. But when I think of the one person who appears to be uncontrolled by liberal media attacks; who epitomizes the kind of “in your face” no holds barred approach to attacking Obama's horrific record, we tea party patriots are so desperately longing for, hands down, it is Sarah Palin.
I know. I know. Republican elites and conventional wisdom says, “Be reasonable. Palin is too toxic. She could never win. Pick an electable candidate like Mike Huckabee or Mitt Romney.”
When Obamacare first became law, Huckabee said repealing it would be difficult. He suggested that we try to find some good in it. My mental buzzer went off, “Wrong answer”.
On Limbaugh's radio program, Donald Trump cautioned Paul Ryan to work with the democrats and not be too aggressive about moving forward with his budget proposal. Again, Trump set off my buzzer, “Wrong answer”.
“Working with democrats” ALWAYS means compromising our values, principles and desires. We want conservative representatives with backbone in Washington fighting on our behalf. Yes, the liberal media will portray them as Satan incarnate. But, there's a new sheriff in town called the Tea Party and we have our representatives' backs.
As for Romney, I do not sense a fire in the belly of this man about standing up for conservatism or the Tea Party.
The liberal media is planning a sequel to the McCain/Obama race in which they picked our “moderate” losing candidate.
Once again, the liberal media is telling us who is “too Tea Party” to win and why we should pick a moderate to run against Obama in 2012. The title of the liberal media's sequel is, “Sucker the Conservatives Two: This Time We Really Think You're Stupid”.
Let me tell you what I think about moderates. Even Jesus had a problem with moderates. He said, “You are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out of my mouth”. In other words, for crying out loud, have the backbone, character and conviction to take a stand for something. The liberal media wants to set us up with another moderate linguine to lose AGAIN!
The 2012 presidential election is going to be all about Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm! Thus, we need a candidate who understands this reality and will boldly go after Obama politically; someone with all American John Wayne true grit committed to tea party principles. So far, our John Wayne is a Momma Grizzly.
As I said, it is a bit too early to formally endorse anyone. Palin may or may not throw her hat into the ring.
Now, regarding the issues, Palin is pretty much on the same page as most of us tea party patriots; drill baby drill, smaller government and etc.
And once again, I must cite her boldness and confidence when espousing her conservative beliefs. You never see Palin dancing around questions from liberal media hacks trying to make her conservative ideas sound mean, heartless, stupid and racist. It is extremely refreshing and encouraging to see someone on our side fearlessly challenging the liberal media!
And what about presidential charisma? In my nationwide travels on four Tea Party Express tours, in which Palin participated, nobody sparked excitement nor struck a stronger emotional chord with audiences at the rallies than Sarah Palin. She is a rock star. The people love her.
I pray that whomever we select as our presidential candidate will grasp the seriousness of the situation in which we find our country. Various potential republican presidential candidates are good people with great conservative ideas to get our country back on track. The most important criteria for a candidate to win my support is a willingness to launch a shock and awe all out assault on Obama's horrific record and terrifying agenda.
Obama has the bully pulpit of the Oval Office, his democrat minions, racist black so-called civil rights groups and a sycophant liberal mainstream media all working in concert for him to be reelected in 2012. America can not survive another republican presidential candidate committed to “playing nice” for fear of being called racist. As they say in AA, “Half measures avail us nothing”.
If Obama is reelected in 2012, America as we know it is over. King Obama must be politically dethroned.

Black Race Pimps: I'm Callin' You Out!
A message from Tea Party Express' own, Lloyd Marcus:
This news story totally infuriated me. Headline: Van Jones’ Political Group Targets 'Celebrity Apprentice'.
Text by Daniel Miller, Reuters “An African-American political advocacy group is targeting "Celebrity Apprentice" star Donald Trump in the aftermath of what many feel are racially tinged political comments made about President Obama.
On Thursday, the organization ColorOfChange launched a Twitter-based campaign to persuade black "Celebrity Apprentice" cast members Star Jones and Lil Jon to denounce Trump for what the group terms "race-baiting."
http://reut.rs/mfRLaw
I am so sick of these racist so-called civil rights groups “bullying” people with “race”. It is an indisputable fact that the liberal mainstream media exempted presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama from the usual vetting process of one seeking to be elected Leader of the Free World. Obama's skin color trumped everything.
Thus, for the first time in U.S. history, we have a president who can not be criticized in any way. “Hear ye, hear ye, all who dare criticize King Obama is automatically guilty of racism and will suffer the consequences!” This is totally absurd and insane.
Obama has been in the Oval Office for two years. Black “race pimps” continue to despicably, without reservation, drive a wedge into the heart of national race relations. Whenever these black race pimps, including the Obama administration, find themselves on the losing end of an argument, they turn it into a racial issue branding the opposition racist.
President Obama would not have responded to Trump's request for him to present his birth certificate unless he felt he had to do it. Obviously, polling data must have confirmed that millions of Americans felt Trump's request was reasonable.
In response to the uppity white boy, who dared question their king, a few black celebrities and black bullies disguised as “civil rights” groups are calling Donald Trump a racist targeting him for destruction. So, are all of the other Americans curious about why Obama was not presenting his birth certificate racist as well? Will somebody please tell these black racist bullies to “stop it and get a life”?
If we are ever to move forward as a nation, we must call out race pimps of all colors.
We do not tolerate “white” skinheads. Nor, should we tolerate “black” racists.
Incredibly, black race pimps feel their racism is OK. It is as if they view America's original sin of slavery as their, “Right to be Racist For Free” card. Using race to bully people into submitting to an agenda is racist; pure and simple.
I watched a black intellectual on TV shilling for Obama. He used a plethora of big words to cover the simple school yard truth that he was a black bully racist, committed to Obama no matter what. Sounding extremely intelligent, the black racist was spouting lies and illogical stupid conclusions. But man, did he sound “smart”.
Liberals do this all the time. They have a basic emotion driven dislike for America and all of the traditions and values which have made is great. They hide their disdain for America under a shroud of intellectual mumbo-jumbo; spouting crazy stupid nonsense which sounds above our ability to understand. I call it, “Intellectual Stupid Speak”.
My fellow Americans, racism is ugly and evil. Most Americans agree and reject it. So, when I see black race pimps like the ColorOfChange using race to bully people, it turns my stomach.
And, something else that truly annoys me. The black community is not a tribe with chiefs dictating our monolithic opinion. I ask that these disgusting race baiting organizations please stop running around proclaiming they speak for “the black community”. I am black. They do not speak for me.
As long as the Good Lord gives me strength, I will call out hate inspiring race dividers. God Bless.

What's Your Tea Party Story?
A Message from Tea Party Express' own, Lloyd Marcus
I was thinking the other day about the extraordinary chain of events which lead to me being involved in the Tea Party movement. I had been a singer/songwriter for years in the music business. Ten years ago, this led to an Orlando based entertainment company offering me the job of my dreams. Mary and I sold our Maryland home and moved to Orlando, FL.
A few months after our arrival, we realized the job offer was a bust. We were on our own.
We decided to stay and try to make a go of it in Florida because there was nothing waiting for us back in Maryland. It was extremely difficult. I tried to make ends meet by singing wherever I could including biker bars. The whole experience, especially the biker bars, was like going to entertainment school. Folks, trust me when I say, you really want to keep bikers happy.
I also worked construction. One day while working, I heard on the radio that an Orlando radio station was hosting a Troop Support rally. Against the advice of talent agents, I have always been outspoken about my patriotism and gratitude to our military. I called the producer of the Orlando rally to ask if I could perform/sing. Amazingly, this guy who did not know me from Adam said “yes”. It was a God thing. My original, “Celebrate America” was a big hit at the rally.
The Orlando rally led to me performing at a huge Glenn Beck rally for our troops in Tampa. Then, G. Gordon Liddy asked me to perform at his rally for our troops in DC. I was asked to return to DC to perform at a Gathering of Eagles rally for our troops.
At the GOE rally, with several thousands in the audience, their CD player malfunctioned and would not play my accompaniment music. The song was my original 9/11 tribute titled, “United We Stand”. It is a huge production with several backup singers.
When the CD player would not work, someone in the audience yelled, “Sing it without music!”
The situation forced me to perform the song a cappella; slower and heartfelt. The audience was extremely moved. Another, God thing.
Little did I know that Joe Wierzbicki of Our Country Deserves Better PAC was in the audience that day. Joe sent me an email introducing himself and invited me to go on their national Stop Obama Tour.
Later, OCDB PAC asked me to go on their Tea Party Express tour. And the rest as they say is Tea Party history.
So all of this began with me making ten bucks an hour working construction and hearing a commercial about a local troop support rally. God is awesome.
Folks, in my travels on four nationwide Tea Party Express tours, I have heard countless similar stories from patriots about how God orchestrated circumstances which directed them to get involved in our extraordinary divinely inspired movement.
A senior patriot in Buffalo NY told me, “I had both knees replaced. I was stuck at home healing. I've been sick of the liberal garbage in our local newspaper. So, I decided to start a conservative newspaper.” Her newspaper is extremely popular.
I met a patriot who was a former commercial airline pilot. A back injury ended his career. He has always been passionate about the U.S. Constitution and U.S. history. He works full time traveling the country lecturing and speaking at Tea Parties.
Laid off his regular job, a patriot began producing films about tea party issues. He is using his passion for film to save his country. Even though survival has been challenging, he is happy and fulfilled.
A gentleman humbly said, “I am not really involved in the movement. All I do is write letters to Congress, The Senate and etc three hours a day”. Wow, that is what the tea party is all about, everyone doing what they can.
Former democrat House majority leader Nancy Pelosi tried to portray the tea party as heavily corporate funded Astro Turf. Actress Janeane Garofalo said the tea party is a bunch of redneck racists against a black president. The NAACP officially proclaimed the Tea Party racist. Even Obama himself said our tea party movement is motivated by race. All of them are wrong.
We are an ever increasing army of ordinary Americans of all races who love our country. Horrified, we are witnessing Obama's daily assaults on our freedoms, fulfilling his vow to “fundamentally transform America”. Patriots are politically fighting back to save America; following their individual passions and using their gifts and talents in various areas of expertise.
Patriots, what are your tea party stories? What led you to get involved? Inquiring minds want to know. Please share your stories at: http://www.lloydmarcus.com/?p=1860

When the CD player would not work, someone in the audience yelled, “Sing it without music!”
The situation forced me to perform the song a cappella; slower and heartfelt. The audience was extremely moved. Another, God thing.
Little did I know that Joe Wierzbicki of Our Country Deserves Better PAC was in the audience that day. Joe sent me an email introducing himself and invited me to go on their national Stop Obama Tour.
Later, OCDB PAC asked me to go on their Tea Party Express tour. And the rest as they say is Tea Party history.
So all of this began with me making ten bucks an hour working construction and hearing a commercial about a local troop support rally. God is awesome.
Folks, in my travels on four nationwide Tea Party Express tours, I have heard countless similar stories from patriots about how God orchestrated circumstances which directed them to get involved in our extraordinary divinely inspired movement.
A senior patriot in Buffalo NY told me, “I had both knees replaced. I was stuck at home healing. I've been sick of the liberal garbage in our local newspaper. So, I decided to start a conservative newspaper.” Her newspaper is extremely popular.
I met a patriot who was a former commercial airline pilot. A back injury ended his career. He has always been passionate about the U.S. Constitution and U.S. history. He works full time traveling the country lecturing and speaking at Tea Parties.
Laid off his regular job, a patriot began producing films about tea party issues. He is using his passion for film to save his country. Even though survival has been challenging, he is happy and fulfilled.
A gentleman humbly said, “I am not really involved in the movement. All I do is write letters to Congress, The Senate and etc three hours a day”. Wow, that is what the tea party is all about, everyone doing what they can.
Former democrat House majority leader Nancy Pelosi tried to portray the tea party as heavily corporate funded Astro Turf. Actress Janeane Garofalo said the tea party is a bunch of redneck racists against a black president. The NAACP officially proclaimed the Tea Party racist. Even Obama himself said our tea party movement is motivated by race. All of them are wrong.
We are an ever increasing army of ordinary Americans of all races who love our country. Horrified, we are witnessing Obama's daily assaults on our freedoms, fulfilling his vow to “fundamentally transform America”. Patriots are politically fighting back to save America; following their individual passions and using their gifts and talents in various areas of expertise.
Patriots, what are your tea party stories? What led you to get involved? Inquiring minds want to know. Please share your stories at: http://www.lloydmarcus.com/?p=1860

Obama Calling Tea Party Racist Reveals A Far More Disturbing Reality
A Message from Tea Party Express' own, Lloyd Marcus:
Please consider the validity of what I am about to say rather than having a knee jerk reaction dismissing it as being “over the top”. Folks, we have an irresponsible egocentric evil man occupying the Oval Office.
The democrats and the liberal mainstream media sold the American people on Obama, “the man”. Despite Obama's zero experience at running anything, they said a leader with his spirit and heart was “what we have been waiting for”.
Fearful of criticizing our first black president, politicians politely say, “President Obama's policies have been unfruitful”; while ignoring the huge elephant in America's living room.
The elephant of which I speak and America's major problem is “Obama, the man”; socialist, divisive and evil.
My dad says a snake can stay under water a very long time just like a fish. But eventually, it must come up for air. Why? Because, it is not a fish. It is a snake. Obama continues to come up for air revealing his true self.
President Obama said the Tea Party is racist. The liberal media, NAACP and democrats have been relentlessly promoting this same baseless allegation. When final confirmation comes down from the highest office in the land, the Oval Office, that the Tea Party is racist; the allegation becomes “official” in the minds of millions. President Obama is slandering millions of decent hard working Americans who simply disagree with his progressive/socialist agenda.(News Report)
Obama saying “race is a key component in the tea party protests” is simply a smooth crafty political way of making his point; which is unmistakable. I guarantee Obama's homeys on the left “got it” and cheered and exchanged high fives upon hearing it. President Obama said the tea party is racist; adding fuel to the Left's efforts.
Think of the repercussions. Obama's indictment of the Tea Party will birth tremendous racial discord across America in schools, churches, and etc. Obama's proclamation will cause Americans to double down on their already extreme caution when criticizing our black president. Sadly, I suspect such intimidation is a part of Obama's plan; anything to empower his mission to “fundamentally transform America”.
Make no mistake about it, Obama and company have successfully intimidated many white Americans into not dissing the black president in public.
I stopped in a fast food restaurant for a burger. Around fifteen white seniors were having lunch. I overheard them ranting about Obama's overreaches and socialist policies. Upon seeing me, a black man, they became silent. I was tempted to say, “Please continue, I hold-heartedly agree with you!” Too bad they did not notice my Tea Party Express t-shirt.
Barack Hussein Obama received more votes than any other presidential candidate in American history. So Obama alleging millions of Tea Party patriots are simply upset because America elected a black president is disingenuous, absurd and manipulative.
Obama is exploiting his race and sacrificing national race relations solely to implement his progressive/socialist agenda. Callously and strategically, the president of the United States is pitting millions of black and white Americans against each other. Lord help us, that is pure evil.
Quoting deceased make-up legend, Mary Kay, “Leadership spreads from the top down”.
A fine black young adult whom I have known for years has always appeared to be racially color blind. He idolizes Obama. Suddenly, I have noticed this kid beginning to view everything through a racial lens. His latest absurd statement, “Friends” is a racist TV show because there are no black cast members”.
While I admit this example is anecdotal, I suspect Obama's divisiveness is inspiring millions of Americans to choose sides along racial lines.
Before knowing the facts, Obama immediately assumed the white police officer was guilty of racial profiling in the Professor Gates case. This suggests Obama has racial emotional baggage. Such a luxury can not be afforded the president of “all Americans”. Obama's justice dept has even said due to past racism, they will give blacks a pass in certain criminal situations.
Obama is not who most Americans thought he was and is exactly who the liberal mainstream media hoped he would be; their Great Black Hope for implementing their progressive/socialist agenda.
They will do whatever it takes to protect Obama; ignoring his character flaws, lawlessness, deceptions and lies. If Obama says two plus two equals five, the liberal media will defend it as being the “New Math”. We cannot trust the liberal media to tell us the truth regarding Obama.
Obama's inauguration brought tears to the eyes of millions of Americans. Blacks are only12% of our nation's population, which means it took several million white votes to put Obama in the Oval Office. Thus, most of the American tears of joy were white.
President Obama is fully aware of this truth.
Obama willfully dividing Americans by exploiting his race for political gain is a despicable betrayal of the whites who elected him. But even more disturbing, it reveals the true character of the man running our country. America deserves much, much better.
