Dear James Reilly of Occupy Lincoln, or whatever your real name is since your email is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ,

You have tried to approach me to help do a joint event down in Lincoln. I refuse. I refuse to work with those attempting to destroy this country in any way, shape, or form. I refuse to discuss things when your fellow socialist activists refused to do so for the last three years. Now, when you are getting your rears handed to you in public opinion, you try and be cordial. Tell that to your fellows in Denver, who called me a racist. Tell that to your fellows in DC, who called me a terrorist.

Your side is the side refusing to talk. We have tried for years. We told you what you were getting when you voted for Obama, yet you absolutely refuse to attack him. Why? Is it because this entire movement was conceived by former members of ACORN Chicago, who formed a company in Canada called Adbusters in order to hide their background? Is it because you organized this movement months in advance in Minnesota, with help of the Obama administration? Or, is it because you spread the word to the masses at NetRoots Nation?

It has been shown in videos by any number of bloggers time and time again you really have no desire to talk about the real issues. Instead, you plan to try and plant seeds of doubt in the minds of those believing in small government that you believe in that as well, when it is a bold faced lie.

I call on other Tea Party leaders to refuse to deal with any Occupy organization in any capacity. This tactic, trying to act all nice in order to attempt to co-opt the movement, is classic Mussolini-style tactics. I refuse to be a part of it, and I will oppose you until the end of days.

You declared this #war. I'm going to be one of those to finish it.

Over the past few days, I have heard numerous complaints by people in various groups in the Tea Party complaining about other groups which are a part of the Tea Party Movement. One of the biggest complaints I have heard is such and such group is 'too tied' to the Republican party. The latest has happened nationally, as Mark Meckler has broken from the Tea Party Patriots over that organization's endorsement of Newt Gingrich for president. However, this rhetoric happens locally as well.

Knock it off.

All the organizations involved, from the Americans for Prosperity, to Freedomworks, to Campaign for Liberty, to all the other organizations out there need to stop this stupidity. We may differ as to who is funding us, but we all have the same core beliefs: government is too large. We should not be mounting whisper campaigns against one another. We should not be suing one another in court (Tea Party Patriots vs Tea Party Express). Each organization has some differing beliefs, but the primary goal remains. That means, we should be allies in the fight against socialism and the Left who want to enslave us to the government.

Benito Mussolini kept in power because of this exact problem. He kept his enemies fighting one another, so they could never mount a unified assault against Italian fascism. We are seeing the same thing happening right now within the Tea Party. We keep backstabbing each other, and we will just shoot ourselves in the foot and never accomplish what we need to shrink government.

Andrew Breitbart, in his last major speech before he suddenly died last week, called for unity at CPAC. He pointed to the enemy, those behind Occupy, and told the assembled audience "That is your enemy."

Nebraska and Iowa tea party groups need to go to CSPAN and watch his speech, then look in the mirror. Hopefully, they will realize the foolishness of fighting one another and work to accomplish our goal of getting government down to size.
