Stuck on the bottom of a small bookcase near my desk is a stack of old Warrants from past Northborough Town Meetings. They provide a useful look at how we manage our Town. I found that a common warrant article, usually article 10 or 11, is authorization for the Board of Selectmen to apply for Federal and State funds and/or grants and to spend any monies thusly obtained. My recollection is that this warrant passes almost automatically. Why not? It’s free money isn’t it?Well it’s not exactly…See More
Northborough Tea Party welcomes G.O.A.L. executive director Jim Wallace
Operation Fast and Furious
On Tuesday, Januarly 17th, the Northborough Tea Party was pleased to present Jim Wallace, President of the Gun Owners Action League (G.O.A.L). Jim gave a detailed and information packed discussion on how the Obama administration had funneled high powered assault and sniper rifles to various drug cartels in Mexico.
Dubbed as Operation Fast and Furious, this egregious scandal, which was run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) - a Justice Department division, resulted in the death of border agent Brian Terry. It almost certainly has helped to escalate other ongoing violence on our southern border.
The Obama administration claims that Fast and Furious was simply an ill-advised attempt to try and track guns as they crossed the border and to take down the cartel members who were using them. If this were the case, a simple GPS tracking device, as common today as a mobile phone, would have served that purpose. However, what the Obama adminstration needed was a pretext in order to ban Second Amendment rights. Along comes Fast Furious - the "proof" that guns from America are somehow finding there way into Mexico.
The U.S. Justice Department is responsible for keeping American citizens safe. Unfortunately, they have actually facilitated the delivery of guns into the hands of criminals so they can more easily control areas of our southern border, turning those areas into war and killing zones that are off limits to anyone without a S.W.A.T. team at their disposal.
John O'mara and Jim Wallace
According to Mr. Wallace, Barack Obama is on a crusade to eliminate the Second Amendment to the Constitution, effectively revoking the right of responsible American citizens to own or carry a gun for self defense. Simultaneously, he is leaving the border open to encourage illegal crossings by terrorists and drug smugglers.

The Northborough Tea Party's Purpose is to encourage and bring together like-minded citizens who believe that our government is acting irresponsibly and is risking our country’s financial future – bailouts, wasteful stimulus programs, pork, and the inevitable inflation that will rob us all. In short, our Government has shown a complete disregard for the long-term impact of its extravagant spending of trillions of dollars that we do not have.
We must use good old American ingenuity and willpower to put our finances back in order. It can be done if we join together as non-partisan, patriotic, and concerned citizens.

When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
