M.A.Pie: The average American is toiling just to make it through the day, much less pay attention to politics in D.C. I try to educate those around me, like a warning bell. Get them involved is all I know to do and hope they influence their circle of family and friends.

Well, it's a little difficult to say that our ancestors were less busy than we are, given the circumstances of their lives. They still made time to maintain the republic.

I always recommend joining the Liberty Committee. We don't win every time. But it has been a remarkably effective grassroots activist organization.

I would say that Liberty Committee has an influence comparable to that of Gun Owners Of America or the ACLU.
