Day in and day out the conservative is assaulted by the demeaning, demonizing, Saul Alinsky Chicago thuggery tactics and legislation that is a direct violation of our Constitution of the United States by the radical liberal leftists. While on this past tour with the Tea Party Express some individuals asked me how I am able to come out and speak and remain so motivated in the face of defeat and denigrating tactics. That’s a great question and so I decided I would write a response for all of you. 
When the House voted in favor of the deplorable Health Care bill after everyone worked so hard to convince them to cast a NO vote it was by all means a blow to my state of being. That night we arrived in our hotel room after a long day with 3 rally stops. When I arrived in my room I immediately turned on C-Span to find the House had just tallied the votes 215 No to 220 Yes. I was so angry, frustrated, emotional, and momentarily defeated. I couldn’t sleep that night, I tossed and turned and finally prayed myself to sleep. The things that ran through my mind as a leader were “How do I face them all now?” “Now what do I say to keep them motivated?” (Especially when you aren’t feeling motivated yourself). I awoke the next morning refreshed, mad, but refreshed. Our next rally would be hard I thought with so many people upset by the vote. When we arrived it was a large crowd and I was pleased and excited that so many came out for a Sunday morning rally. Normally I would be speaking near the end, however, Joe asked me to go near the beginning. He said, “they need to get motivated and you can do that with your speech”. I knew he was right and I was determined to do just that.
