Michael Yancey then introduced our guest speaker, Tim Cox from Liberty Hill, Texas and author of "Revolution - Get Out of our House." He told us what led him to this position he has taken some of which are: Government out of control with a huge deficit - Texas being overrun with illegal aliens, completely out of control - in Texas no prayer allowed before football games, etc. He asked : "Are the representatives in Washington really representing us or do they represent special interests"? We the people are fourth at best on their list of interests. He talked of our Founding Fathers who created the "Perfect Government".

He then explained his solution to the problem in Washington. His system would replace everyone in the House of Representatives and he needs 500,000 people to get this plan started. This group would be divided into groups of ten with the ending result 435 candidates to run for office. His only platform at this time is TERM LIMITS. He asked "what are we leaving for future generations if we do nothing"? He then took questions from the audience. He asked for everyone who could to go to the cafeteria after our meeting adjourns for his informational presentation as to how this process would work in reality.
