Kudos to Barry Willis, the E.C. TEA Party & Others

Kudos are in order for Barry Willis organizer of the East County TEA Party for having the ingenuity and vision to make a San Diego County Sheriff candidate debate as part of their next event.

While endorsing no candidates and remaining non-partisan the East County TEA Party is evolving to the next level, one which many people feel is a natural fit for TEA Parties:

-Getting local candidates out of their ivory towers and bringing them in front of the people through Candidate Forums-

Interestingly just last week John Solomon- Managing Editor of The Washington Times- while on my show said, “It will be interesting to see what the next step for the TEA Parties are. They have demonstrated they are for real and have staying power. But now it will be interesting to see what comes out of all this impassioned energy through new candidates and legislation”.

…Separately, if you heard my show Tuesday night…then you heard Amanda Carpenter of The O’Reilly Factor say that there is speculation that the National TEA Party just might be in Sara Palin’s future.

“She needs a group to align herself with and they need a national spokesperson”, Amanda commented.

Kudos are also in order for candidates Bruce Ruff and Jay La Suer for being the first to accept our debate invitation.

In the true spirit of grass roots activism La Suer and Ruff will bare themselves to the people in asking for their vote at the next TEA Party. Thanks in large part to Barry Willis.

PS- Changing topics entirely the most recent joke by Letterman stating that ‘Sara Palin has stepped down as Alaskan governor to become the next Octo-mom’ I feel is horrible on so many levels. I also wonder how his sponsors and the pro-feminine groups feel about his joke? I will be contacting them for their response in my upcoming article at BIG HOLLYWOOD.

It’s Offical! The Rick Amato Show & E.C. TEA Party To Host Sheriff’s Debate!

It was just announced live on the air! The East County TEA Party has agreed to have The Rick Amato Show host a debate among the San Diego County Sheriff race candidates as part of it’s next TEA Party event!

Details (location, date, time) are being worked out by Barry Willis, organizer of the East County TEA Party and should be known in about three weeks. The event and debate will likely take place in September.

ALL candidates will obviously receive an invitation…Be sure to join us..get involved…We anticipate about 1,000 people in attendance based upon this past Saturday!

In studioGreetings Friends,

The Big Cheese

Washington Times reporters John McCaslin and Jerry Seper confronted S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford regarding additional girlfriends and ‘pick-up lines’ that they discovered while investigating his background.

Sanford tells more, apologizes again, and says he is determined to stay in office. Today I caught up with investigative reporter Jerry Seper who had this to say in this EXCLUSIVE story: CLICK HERE.

Abducting Children To Carry Out Suicide Bombings

Award winning journalist- and a real spark plug of a reporter- Sara Carter has uncovered a sad, but important story for the world to know in the War On Terror.

Members of a Pakistani Taliban group are abducting children ages 7-14 years old for the purpose of carrying out suicide bombings.

Sara shared this with me today in this EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.

Excuse Me. Isn’t This The Type of Person We Want In Public Office?

Chula Vista, CA City Councilman John McCann is scheduled to leave for Iraq for 1 year as a Navy Reservist.

Federal law protects the jobs of reservists.

But in a political move, organized labor and a City Attorney want to APPOINT a replacement for McCann.

A Navy reservist leaving his family for one year to serve in Iraq. Isn’t this exactly the type of individual we want in public office, and this how we treat him?

John McCann is my guest tonight on The Rick Amato Show Presented by The Washington Times.

9pm-11pm PST online at AmatoTalk.comand On-Air at 1170 KCBQ in San Diego.
