Thanks, BB. The full text of the speech that I plan to deliver this July 4th at the CDA Tea Party can be found here.

It's been expanded slightly and the language modified for verbal delivery and also to try and reach a wider audience. I have no idea where this is going to lead. I suspect that I'll wind up on a few more government lists, but what the hey - whats a few more at this stage of the game?

I've gotten some encouragment to step forward as a leader. I don't know that I'm that much of a leader. and that begs the question: a leader of what? I've run my own business, hired and fired in other corporate venues, and I take responsibility for my actions.

In any case, what I've written here and what I plan to deliver is only the result of my modest grasp of history and human nature. I have degrees in neither, only my experience and a will to comprehend as much as I can. Does that make me a leader? I don't know.

When I think of the sacrifices that the brave and determined men and women made on that April 19th day in 1775, I feel very small. These people were better than I'll ever be. Well, you never know who you really are until the SHTF. I expect that we're going to find out Real Soon Now.

I can hear that distant thunder. It's war. And it's coming. Here. Soon. I'll do what I can.
