{Everybody Loves An Activist....}

Because we live in a world where silence is considered consent, Ryan and I took our children to the 9.12 Tea Party where we marched on the State Capitol. Yes, it would have been easier to sit in our air conditioned house, or do something else as a family, but as history is being made how could we possibly sit idly by and do nothing?

There should be NO QUESTION, when push comes to shove, where we stand when it comes to political (and Gospel things-yes they are the same) and we feel it important to pass that national pride on to our children. If actions do speak louder than words...than ours' should be screaming!

Besides it was a lot of fun! Alenna loves Tea Parties, this was her 3rd one. She's so cute!

Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians....whatever your belief, you could find a group with similar views, people who have had it with big spending and big government and those who are sickened by the idea of socialized health-care. Regular Joe's like you and me.
I don't believe it dividing down the politcal line, thats been over done to death.
There is more that unites us than separates us.

They were giving out buttons, and bubbles and candy and beads. That, I think was Alenna's favorite part. Ryan and I signed petitions as she gathered loot!

And because the media is biased, let me tell you the actual turn out. There were Tea Parties all over the nation, and close to 2 million people that marched on Washington, (more than the Million Man March) What I would have given to be there!
The one in Phoenix probably had about 10,000 people.

Being married to someone who is so passionate about politics can only have one outcome. Many find political ramblings annoying, but I find it fascinating. If you look at it through the eyes of the Gospel, everything is so crytsal clear. Like pieces to a puzzle of the Last Days...

Brady & Alenna, I hope that you always stand for whats right, and not just let someone else do it.
Some might call us activists, some might think this is silly; that we will never change anything, some like to bury their heads in the sand and let others deal with it. Not us. That is not what this family is about.
As of late I have been reading "The 5000 Year Leap" which is phenomenal. I recommend any political thinking person to read it.
This is an exciting time to be alive. Joseph Smith prophesied that the Constitution of the United States would hold by a thread in the last days. Truly, his prophesy is being fulfilled.
