As we have experienced more than once over the years, organizations that you give yourself to voluntarily have a finite life. The past 7 years of weekly meetings, rallys, road trips (to D.C., Frankfort, Fancy Farm, etc.), events (Day of Resistance, Read the Declaration on the 4th, etc.), protests ( 3 Benghazi, Overpasses to Impeach Obama, etc.) Sign waves for candidates, parades and more, have literally become part a large part of our lives.
While we celebrate these past years we also recognize the need to devote time to other endeavors. Vic will of course continue his involvement at Boone Co. Fiscal Court and Planning Commission.
Although Monday was the last meeting of Grassroots Tea Party, we strongly encourage you to put your energy into electing candidates who reflect the Tea Party values of Limited Govt.., Free Markets and Fiscal Responsibility. As discussed at last night's meeting, we plan to donate our treasury monies to organizations we want to support such as Hillsdale College,

Last but certainly not least, we want to express our deep gratitude to Mike Cartuyvelles of Sub Station II. Mike has graciously offered us his restaurant every Mon day night. Mike, we could not have done it without you.
Sincerely,
Vic Altherr, Ann Altherr and Emily Shelton
