1 Peter 4:10
TEA Party musicians/artists were featured on page 28 of the 25th anniversary edition of Spin Magazine (April 2010) with punditry from Ted Nugent!
"Three members of the “Band of Patriots”, Glenn Hudson, Gary Franchi and Billy Worley stand out on a star-spangled backdrop along with four other leading music figures of the Tea Party Revolution. Lisa Mei Norton, an Air Force vet who came in at number two and sang “A Revolution is Brewing”. Steve Vaus, a.k.a. Buck Howdy, came in third place with “We Must Take America Back”. Nashville’s Brion Butterbaugh who was inspired by Rick Santelli’s now famous statements on CNBC in 2009 rounded out 4th place with “It’s Time to Party”. The self-described “proud black conservative” Lloyd Marcus took fifth place with his song “American Tea Party Anthem”.
Here's what they said about my song "A Revolution's Brewing":
ARTIST: Air Force vet Lisa Mei Norton
SOUNDS LIKE: Shit-kicking nü country with shout-outs to "Coulter" and "Huckabee" (this was before I saw what a sell-out Ann was)
INSPIRATION: "Seeing the country spiral into debt made me concerned about our children's future." says Norton.
CHOICE LYRICS: "Punishing prosperity / That's how the statists roll."
TED'S TAKE: "She sees an ugly, anti-American president who wants to reverse the simplicity of rewards-through-effort."

Video above is from the 12 September 2009 Free Republic National Convention. It was my son Joshua's first-ever live performance with me after just learning how to recite the preamble! I was so proud of him!
Video description:
"On Sept 12, 2009, the Freepers met at the Sheraton National in Arlington, Virginia for their 2009 Free Republic Tea Party Convention. There was much joy in the room after an exciting "Tea Party of All Tea Parties" marched on the Capitol. After dinner, Lisa Mei Norton and her six-year-old son, Joshua, sang together."

Wrote and recorded this in 2010 and performed it at a 2nd Amendment March.
The Dems have ALWAYS wanted to take our guns away and they're STILL trying to.
THEY. WILL. FAIL.
President Trump says gun owners have historically had low voter turn-out. That makes ZERO sense!! EVERYONE must VOTE in November if you want to keep your guns!
Are you registered? If not, DO IT NOW!
They say all press is good press, right? Works for me! I consider it a badge of honor to be hated by the left, and the now-defunct DISGRASION.COM website that made it their mission to shame any Asian who dared think differently than them, think I'm awful and am indoctrinating my son.
If teaching him to love God & country is indoctrinating him, then I'm guilty as charged. I am now the proud mom of a US Navy sailor!
I can't help but wonder if they've finally figured out, we really HAVE "gone socialist". Did they close their site because they lost their fan base, couldn't afford to keep it going because EVERYTHING is too expensive now, or did they finally wake up?
Wrote this during the Hussein regime's illegitimate term after the DHS labeled veterans and pro-life conservatives as "potential domestic terrorists". It applied then and now as they label parents protesting CRT & porn in public schools, and Traditional Catholics as "domestic terrorists"...
