Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
Libya Petition: Do your part today
First Coast Tea Party is a part of a Statewide Coalition of Tea Parties in Florida. The Coalition is named: Florida Alliance. Florida Alliance has come together to create a petition against the Libyan invasion by our President.
Congress is the only governmental authority empowered to “Declare War” under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. constitution. Yet, the President of the United States has opted to proceed with military action in Libya based on a vote of a group of 15 people in the U.N. Security Council. These are people were never elected and do not have the “consent of the governed” - many of whom seek a weak America.
By firing 114 missiles at Libyan targets on Saturday (3/19/11), the President has engaged our military in a "hostile act" as defined in the 1973 War Powers Resolution. By law, he has until Monday afternoon (48 hours) to report to Congress on this action and then Congress has 60 days to authorize this act or military action must cease. Even now, after initially backing military action in Libya, the Arab League is criticizing the missile attack (cNBC) and Russia also seeks to command the U.S. Military (UPI) to stop its attack plan…clarifying how unreliable these “allies” are. That is why President George Washington warned us to avoid foreign influence an... as they are dangerous to our country. Now Secretary Robert Gates reports that the U.S. Military will be under the command of a foreign military coali... (Fox)!
Since Congress is not planning to vote on a declaration of war, this is the only chance that YOU, The PEOPLE will have to tell your Congressional represenatives how to vote.
The Florida Alliance believes that American Military involvement in Libya at this point is unconstitutional, unwise and is likely to escalate in dangerous ways. It is an unacceptable burden on our economy and on our fine men and women of the U.S. Military who are not supposed to be at the beck and call of the U.N. – but are sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States alone.
The Florida Alliance asks you to take this only opportunity you may have as a U.S. Citizen to stop America’s involvement in a foolhardy and unconstitutional war.
We ask that you call or write your Congressman and tell them:
VOTE NO ON U.S. MILITARY INVOLVEMENT IN LIBYA

Me too, Joanna.
John, I agree in re to supporting our troops. I am a military veteran. However, this "president" is a renegade. Were I younger now I would not serve under him or any of his ilk sitting as commander in chief. I also do not support having our troops put at risk under UN authority (of which it has none) or in foreign civil wars that are not in the interest of the United States.

What was interesting, several weeks ago when the violence was started by Qadhafi, a rebel was filmed saying "President Bush, please send help!" This is a mess and if anything was to be done, it should of been done over four weeks ago at the onset of the violence starting. Why wasn't something done several weeks ago, when one of the ministers of Libya fled and told the press that Qadhafi ordered the Lockerbie, Scotland bombing? Interesting to note that the Arab League is now saying too, much damage is being done. Jeez, when is bombing a completely damaged controlled? Especially with people who use innocents as shields? Besides when is the Arab League going to use all that state of the art military equipment and training that they have purchased in recent years? What a mess. This is going to be one of the longest two years til November 2012.

Below is a link to an earlier blogpost on this subject, titled, "SHOULD THE U.S. ENTER INTO A WAR ACTION IN LIBYA UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE UNITED NATIONS?" There has been an on-going deliberation on this subject and the legality of it in the comments section. You might find it informative and helpful. Please feel free to add your comments and concerns in the same manner of thoughtful and informed analysis as has been contributed thus far.

I think the precedent set by this attack is scary. We know that the UN is a nest of anti-Americanism. What if we had an uprising in this country and those in the UN deemed our government to be the "bad" guys? Would they attack the U. S. in support of that uprising? How do we know who is who over there? There probably are no good guys. This is very unsettling.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
