On Saturday June 26, 2010 concerned Americans will gather at 12:00 noon for a peaceful rally beside the South East River Campus parking lot by the North side of Highway 34/74 just west of the Emerson Memorial Bridge in Cape Girardeau. This bridge, a symbol of the greatness of America, unites the east and west in the very heart of America.

After a brief rally, patriotic American’s will walk across the Emerson bridge in a show of solidarity for freedom and calling for a return to Constitutional government in our nation. American’s that believe in the Constitution, as well as candidates are welcome.

Please bring your signs, American flags, and friends to proclaim that we will rise up in the upcoming elections and take our country back!

Bob Parker, event organizer and Candidate for Congress in Missouri’s 8th district explains, “It is time for Americans that are concerned about the direction of our country to join together. ‘We the People’ must rise up and take our country back by voting in the upcoming August 3rd primary and the November 2nd general election. America is at a crossroads, we must take America back to the principals of limited government and individual freedom.”

Parker for Congress opens new headquarters in 8th district

Missouri’s 8th Congressional district; Surrounded by enthusiastic campaign volunteers and family members, Bob Parker cut a ribbon, symbolizing the official opening of his campaign headquarters on the east side of the square in Mountain Grove this morning.

Initially, the headquarters will be open from noon to 5pm on Thursdays & Fridays and 8am to noon on Saturdays. Anyone desiring information regarding Bob’s positions on issues and/or his reasons for running in this election is encouraged to stop in and visit with the friendly volunteers who will be staffing the headquarters. The office will also serve as a convenient supply depot for campaign volunteers on the western side of the district. Visitors to the headquarters will find plenty of parking right at the door.

Parker, a rancher from Raymondville, is challenging 14 year Republican incumbent Jo Ann Emerson for U.S. Representative from Missouri’s 8th Congressional District in the Republican primary election on August 3rd. Bob Parker is a strong pro-life, pro-gun, Constitutional, Christian, Conservative. To find out more about Bob Parker please log on to his website at www.electbobparker.com

In his brief remarks this morning, Parker noted that the campaign is gaining momentum all over the district. He commented that people are fed up with the politics of Washington D.C. And are seeking a major change.

He said, ”America is at a crossroads. Will we begin to take back our country back by voting out these big spending Republicans in the upcoming primaries, or will we continue to re-elect the people that keep voting for bailouts, clunkers, earmarks, and more big government? We need jobs, not handouts and more debt. I say it’s time for ‘We the People’ to rise up and take America back and tell Washington that we have had enough!”

He reiterated that he is a resident of the district – that he has lived and worked in the 8th district for 33 years – and, therefore, he understands the needs of Southern Missouri. Parker closed the gathering in prayer and then spent some time chatting with those in attendance.

Bob Parker, candidate for 8th Congressional District was in the Bootheel area this week. While in the area, Parker toured parts of Mississippi and New Madrid counties meeting citizens and distributing brochures and road signs. One of Mr. Parker’s stops was at Rosie’s Restaurant in New Madrid where he spoke with several local citizens about some of the goals he hopes to accomplish if elected.

Parker discussed the St. John’s Levee District dilemma in the New Madrid area. This is one of the projects he plans to target as soon as he is in office. He strongly supports the property rights of citizens and doesn’t believe that bureaucrats should determine how their land can be used.

“… as a farmer that has operated a farm in Missouri for 33 years, I want you to know that I share your frustration with government agencies that seem to have no clue how so many of these regulations actually impact our lives here in Missouri. … as a member of the DNR Sand and Gravel Workgroup… I fought hard to get common sense regulations so that landowners could protect their streams and still use their property for their benefit.”

Parker also stated, “I believe Americans are starting to understand how bankrupt our current leadership in Washington is. Lobbyists and special interests are running Washington. It’s time to return to the constitutional restraints that congress and our courts have thrown off many years ago. It’s time for Missourians to step up and Take America Back! That is my mission. Never before in my life has the challenge been so great. I don’t call for ‘change,’ I call for restoration of our constitutional principles.”

Parker will be back in the Southeast Missouri area on Saturday, June 12 for a dinner at Susie’s Bake Shoppe in Sikeston. Tickets are $15 per person and are available by calling 573-521-8076.

Please come out and meet Mr. Parker and support the move to “Take America Back.”

Tea Party rally planned for tax day

On Apr. 15 the St. Francois County Courthouse Annex parking lot will come alive with a tax day Tea Party. The event, titled “Born Free – Taxed to Death”, will begin at 6 p.m. and be hosted by the Tea Party Patriots of St. Francois County.

The event is free to the public and will include confirmed keynote speaker Dr. Angela Basham, and guest speakers District 8 Congressional candidate Bob Parker, District 8 Congressional candidate Larry Bill and Lee Reinitz among others.

Free copies of the Constitution will be given out while supplies last. Free balloons and face painting will be available for all the kids. Bumper stickers and Tea Party t-shirts will also be available.

A booth will be set up where a petition may be signed opposing the government takeover of healthcare. Another petition will propose the elimination of property tax and personal property taxes in the state of Missouri. The proposals will be discussed by the keynote speaker.

The St. Francois County Tea Party Patriots “We the People” group is part of a nationwide, non-partisan, grassroots movement of people who assure they are not extremists, racists or bigots. The events are not Democrat or Republican rallies, but geared toward the patriotism of the citizens of the United States and the right to assemble regardless of any party affiliation.

The right to assemble was established in the Constitution by the founding fathers of the United States.

The St. Francois County Tea Party Patriots meet the last Tuesday of every month at Warehouse BBQ at 6 p.m. The group We-the-People – St. Francois County can be found on Facebook.
