Dear Friend,
Our government should serve us, not the other way around. Our state and federal constitutions affirm our God given rights and limit our government’s reach into our lives and pockets.
I am leading the fight to reduce government spending, cut taxes, protect liberty and defend traditional family values. One of the results of my relentless efforts is that I become a prime target for liberals.
It was recently reported that AFL-CIO President Rick Bloomingdale said, “We need to make life miserable for Daryl Metcalfe… even if we do not win we need to make life miserable for them.”
But I say, it is time to end the public sector union’s ability to rip off the taxpayers!
I need your help as I continue to lead the fight in Harrisburg to protect our liberty and our pockets
My campaign needs your support for our new Metcalfe All-American BBQ to raise the money needed for our never ending political battles. Our new BBQ will replace our annual Pig Roast. Muddycreek BBQ will cater our event and the menu will include chicken, barbequed pork sandwiches, hamburgers, hotdogs and many side dishes including the famous Muddycreek Potatoes.
Please consider sponsoring this year’s BBQ for $250. If you are not able to sponsor, the admission price is $25 per adult, $5 for your children ages 5-12, and children under age 5 are free.
If you are not able to attend, please use this opportunity to contribute to our fight for liberty. I hope you are able to join me and my family for our:

The 4th Sunday of July is National Parent’s Day – http://www.parentsday.com/index.html
Many Americans are unaware that our nation has a new day of commemoration called Parents’ Day. This is good news for America’s parents and families.
In 1994 President Bill Clinton signed into law the resolution unanimously adopted by the U. S. Congress establishing the fourth Sunday of every July as Parents’ Day, a perennial day of commemoration similar to Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. According to the Congressional Resolution, Parents’ Day is established for “recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children.”
The establishment of Parents’ Day was the result of a bipartisan, multiracial and interfaith coalition of religious, civic and elected leaders who recognized the need to promote responsible parenting in our society and to uplift ideal parental role models, especially for our nation’s children.
Since the creation of this annual day of commemoration, local faith communities, elected officials and activists throughout the nation have creatively launched many activities around the theme of Parents’ Day designed to celebrate and strengthen the traditional, two-parent family.
The National Parents’ Day Council does not envision Parents’ Day to be yet “another” day to honor parents, but rather a day when parents honor their children and the God-centered family ideal by rededicating themselves to manifest the highest standard of unconditional true love.
The establishment of Parents’ Day affords a wonderful opportunity for communities, organizations, churches, mosques, synagogues and temples to honor exemplary parents and to encourage families everywhere to invest in our most precious resource – our children. Among the most popular of these activities has been the recognition of outstanding couples as parental role models who have been honored as “Parents of the Year” at the national, state, local and faith community level.
We encourage you to get involved in helping us recognize outstanding parents worthy of this recognition by establishing a Parents’ Day Selection Committee in your faith community or local area. Please also recommend such parents to your state’s National Parents’ Day Council affiliate or our national office for consideration to be selected “Parents of the Year” at the state or national level.

I AM THE NATION
I was born on July 4, 1776, and the Declaration of Independence is my birth certificate. The bloodlines of the world run in my veins, because I offered freedom to the oppressed. I am the nation!
I am 281 million living souls and the ghosts of those who have lived and fought and died for me.
I am Nathan Hale and Paul Revere. I stood at Lexington andfired the shot heard around the world. I am Washington, Jefferson, and Patrick Henry. I am John Paul Jones, the GreenMountain Boys and Davy Crockett. I am Lee, Grant, Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Pershing, Eisenhower, MacArthur, Patton, and Colin Powell.
I remember the Alamo, the Maine, Pearl Harbor and September 11, 2001. When freedom called, I answered and stayed until it was over, over there. I left my heroic dead in Flanders Fields, the rock of Corregidor, on the bleak slopes of Korea, in the steaming jungle of Vietnam and the desert sands of Kuwait.
I am the Statue of Liberty, the wheat fields of Kansas, the granite hills of Vermont, and Tennessee the Volunteer State. I am the coalfields of the Virginias and Pennsylvania, the fertile lands of the west, the Golden Gate, Brooklyn Bridge and the Grand Canyon. I am Independence Hall, the Monitor, the Merrimac and the Challenger. I am the Liberty Bell that first rang for freedom.
I am big. I sprawl from the Atlantic to the Pacific – three million square miles of land throbbing with industry. I am two million farms. I am forest, field, mountain and desert. I am quiet villages and cities that never sleep. You can look at me and see Ben Franklin walking down the streets of Philadelphia with his breadloaf under his arm. You can see the lights of Christmas and hear the strains of “Auld Land Syne” as the calendar turns.
I am Babe Ruth and the World Series. I am more than 170,000 schools and colleges and more than 300,000 churches where my people worship God as they choose. I am a ballot dropped into a box, the roar of a crowd in a stadium, the voice of a choir in a cathedral. I am an editorial in a newspaper and a letter to Congress. I am John Glenn and Neil Armstrong and their fellow astronauts who whirl above my head. I am Eli Whitney and Stephen Foster, Tom Edison, Albert Einstein and Billy Graham. I am Horace Greeley, Will Rogers and the Wright brothers. I am George Washington Carver, Jonas Salk and Martin Luther King Jr. I am Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Walt Whitman and Thomas Paine.
Yes, I am the nation and these are the things I am. I was conceived in freedom and God willing, in freedom I shall spend the rest of my days.
May I always possess the integrity, the courage and the strength to keep myself unshackled, to remain a citadel of freedom and a beacon of hope to the world.
