I have had several requests for a copy of the speech that I gave at the March for America rally sponsored by Let Freedom Ring America at the Georgia State Capital. I promised to post it on my website, so here it is:

WOW! It sure is a thrill to be among such Great Americans! Special thanks to those who put this event together, such as Todd Walker, Mary Kirkendoll, and thanks to WGKA for sponoring this event. I very heartfelt thank you to Jamie Lilly, and the Inman family for finding strength amidst their tragic loss- and coming here today to share their hearts with us. We all mourn your loss with you, stand with you in your fight, and admire your work to help save other families from suffering the way you have.

I want to start off today with a blast from the past:

"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain, too cheap, we esteem too lightly:--'Tis dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to set a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated....... I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

These are the words of Thomas Paine- The American Crisis

I have been reading the news lately, and I have even had the chance to listen to staffers of our GOP leaders speak out on this issue. This is what I hear-

“It’s complicated…..“This is not a two-plus-two proposition. It’s algebra.”

NO! Senators- it is NOT complicated. It is simple- ENFORCE THE LAWS! We don’t need another piece of paper in Washington full of empty promises. We don’t need La Bill- as D A King calls it- to ENFORCE laws already passed and guaranteed by our constitution! You seem to forget something, SIRS! We are NOT the generation educated by No Child Left Behind. We can do 2 +2, we can do algebra, and on top of that- we CAN READ!

Let me tell you Mary’s story. Mary is a woman in her 50’s. She is a painter by trade. At the end of her work day, she is covered with dry wall dust and paint from head to toe. She is also having a hard time lately, keeping up with her bills. The cheap labor of Illegal aliens is slicing her worth in her trade.

And MANY of you are here today because you too have also been touched by this illegal crisis in our country!

Then we have statements like this from Saxby Chambliss….

“If we don’t get it done now……. After that, it could be worse

WORSE?

Are you threatening us?

Let me explain something to you. “Boogey man” politics just does not work anymore- and especially with THIS issue.

Don’t you dare threaten us.

Cosby once jokingly said- I put you in this world… I can take you out…Senatosr- We PUT you in office.. and We WILL take you out of office!

I have a teenager in my home. If I set his curfew at 10:00 pm, and he decides to come home at midnight, I have two choices. I can either discipline him and enforce the curfew, or I can allow him to take control of my home.

I am NOT going to stand for giving lawbreakers control of my home!

Today is the day- OUR DAY! YOUR DAY—when we speak LOUD and CLEAR- to the government charged with expressing OUR VOICE…

IF you can’t come to this country without BREAKING OUR LAWS- STAY HOME!

And if you can’t go to Washington without protecting our land, our people, and our Constitution- GET OUT!

“Build the Fence and Enforce the Laws.” PERIOD!

I must share a story with you… it is the story of Caesar Rodney ….. very few Americans know this story…

Caesar Rodney was a bachelor. He had no wife or family to leave a legacy to, and was also riddled with cancer. He was one of our founding fathers, and his only hope to survive his cancer was to return to England for treatment….

But one day in June of 1776, he got a letter. He was in Sussex County Delaware. The letter informed him that he was needed in Philadelphia, Pa to sign the Declaration of Independence. Without his signature, there would be no INDEPENCENCE…

He mounted his horse, ladies and gentlemen. And he set out in travel to Independence Hall in Philadelphia, PA. He traveled over 80 miles, through fields and crossing rickety bridges- amidst the humidity, thunderstorms, and torrential rains- with asthma challenging each breath, and the cancer literally eating the flesh from his face- he galloped on. Sought by the British- he pushed on….each step bringing him closer to signing his own death warrant…. Each step bringing him, and US, closer to….

FREEDOM!

He finally arrived at his destination. He staggered into Independence Hall, his body covered in mud, sweat, and blood, and with only minutes left, he uttered these words, "As I believe the voice of my constituents and of all sensible and honest men is in favor of independence, my own judgment concurs with them. I vote for independence." and then he collapsed.

Caesar Rodney cast the DECIDING vote- for FREEDOM!

Whenever I get a quarter, I check to see if it is his. Yes, the Delaware quarter features his valiant ride on its back. This is the epitome of integrity to me. He risked it all, for FREEDOM.

Friends, Patriots, Americans—I ask you this….

Do you trust your men in Congress?

I can’t hear you! I asked you—DO YOU TRUST YOUR MEN IN CONGRESS?

DO you seek men in Washington, DC like Caesar Rodney, or do you seek men that are more akin to the oppressive characters driven by power and greed straight out of “The Grapes of Wrath.”?

Those in Washington would have us believe that they are powerless to enforce our laws.
These people spend hours on matters they have NO BUSINESS being involved in, while they blatantly REFUSE to attend to the business they are responsible for and have sworn to do.

HEAR ME…….. HEAR US- LOUD AND CLEAR! —If You CANNOT Enforce the laws of this country- then GET OUT OF WASHINGTON!-

Senator Isakson…it is time for you to GET OUT OF WASHINGTON!

Senator Chambliss…it is TIME! It is TIME for YOU to GET OUT OF WASHINGTON!

We CAN and we WILL replace you with people who not only CAN but WILL and WANT to enforce the laws of this nation. People who WILL and WANT to protect our homeland, our people and the very Constitution our forefathers gave us, and so many have given their lives and died to protect.

AMERICA- IT IS TIME TO CHANGE THINGS IN WASHINGTON!

They want to try and keep us ignorant, so they can work their will behind closed doors. Trent Lott said that talk radio is corrupting America, and they intend to fix that problem. Trent Lott and his Senate partners want to keep the truth from us. What are Trent and Saxby afraid of? …Us! Are they afraid of informed citizens.

History teaches us this lesson. “Knowledge is power ... Ignorance is slavery.” We will not accept ignorance. Without knowledge there is no freedom of speech.

It is THEY who have lost touch with us. It is THEY who do not understand us! We are Americans who will not tolerate their intentions.

The next time someone wants to argue in favor of this bill- ask them what their N-W ratio is. When it comes to illegals in their lives, what is their Neighbor vs worker ratio. How many illegal aliens are their neighbors? How many are their workers?

We need someone in DC who CANNOT forget who put them there- because we know that is ONLY because OF YOU- that we could possibly BE THERE!

My name is Sherri Reese- I am just a single mother of 3- but I promise each of you right now- if no other formidable candidate will stand up and challenge BIG BUSINESS’ BEST FRIEND, Saxby Chambliss in the GOP Primaries- I WILL!

I promise you this. If no one else is willing to stand up to this corruption and betrayal, I WILL! And I will keep the debate centered on what is important to YOU! What is RIGHT for America, I will make sure the talk is honest- not watered down with spin and condescension……My Name is Sherri “eeevil conservative” Reese.

I WILL bring integrity.

I will end with this simple thought:

IT IS TIME!

No matter what happens with this bill- the veil on corruption and betrayal in Washington has been lifted…and the American People will no longer stand for business as usual in DC.
And it is time!

It is TIME for CHANGE IN WASHINGTON!
