Dear XXXX,
I thank you for your efforts. However, being the first or maybe second (SeekingTheTruth in Florida possibly the first) FR street activist back in 1998, and having done more with other organizations after, I have learned some things over time:
1. FR activists helped to impeach Clinton; the Fedgov leviathan didn’t try him. That said a lot;
2. Being the Chairman, and then Secretary/Treasure of a however small Veterans’ organization (VetsCoR) had little impact, as we reached out to the American Legion, VFW, VietNam war orgs, et al; They simply didn’t want to hear our calls and continue with their Fraternal club stuff.
3. After developing a slide-show called, “With Love and Appreciation” had little affect, other than to make our troops feel good it had NO impact on the average Joe-six-pack;
4. Spending countless hours on the streets and waving flags before anyone even consider it, there was no change in DC.
5. Just recently the Tea Parties were out on the streets in the 10’s of thousands. Did you see a change in the Obama, Reid, Pelosi triad? No, you didn’t. They ignored the Tea Parties and have continued with their head-long rush into socialism.
Bottom line: Demonstrations are a waste of time and effort and resources. So what is left?
ORGANIZED CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE! Think liberal tactics and how they have been so successful throughout the decades. If you’re not willing to do the same sit-ins and chain yourself to the Capitol steps, and face arrest for a misdemeanor (minor fine), than you are failing your Constitution and Nation.
It’s time to rise up. Make a stand. Support Jeffersonian principles, and let these socialist in DC KNOW we WILL NOT stand for more Fedgov intrusion in our lives and industry.
Political parties are the past. Repubs are just a slightly lessor version of the liberal Democrat socialist world they so long for.
What has your vote done for you to restore your liberties? Think GM, AIG, un-confirmed CZARS et al, that the Obama, Reid, Pelosi are doing to our free-enterprise system.
You want to be subjegated or do you want freedom to make your own choices? It will be a very hard effort to return of such Constitutional principles.
Good people will lose their livihoods, others may die or be imprisoned. What is worth to you for your libety? Personally, I will give up all and work in a car-wash if I'm assured the the Fedgov will get the **** out of my life.
STATES RIGHTS!
“”keep in mind that FBI and DHS is all over us reading everything we post........................””
“Whose side will they take when the SHTF? Are they our fellow citizens, or job security seeking bureaucrats? “
That’s what we don’t know, that’s one project that should be a priority. WTSHTF who can we trust......
“You’ll notice that the constitutional protected right of assembly has already been classified by the mindless JBT’s in 0’s administration as “low level terrorism” I’m sure that there are governmental contingency plans for a final solution to the conservative problem.”
I read an article today where a particular state law enforcemeht division is receiving 9 million in grants from the Dept of Homeland Security. No mention that the money source is actually federal taxpayers. Only the Dept of Homeland Security gets credit for the grant.
The LE agency granted the 9 million says the money is for preparing for terrorist attacks and natural disasters. I’d wager the money is actually for preparing for civil unrest. Along with the money, there will be a classified memo attached which is not intended for public consumption. LE only files.
Their problem is, sometimes, as we have noted lately, these memos containing descriptions of domestic terrorists can find a way into the public domain. Like the one leaked recently where DHS claims people who want to claim Constitutional rights should be watched as potential domestic terrorists...and other such non-sense that only marxists could possibly perceive as a potential threat to their sustainability.

The exercising of constitutional rights by the serfs IS terrorism to a tyranical government. The bureaucrats, armed apparatchicks, and politicians are terrified of any real resistance to their plans to control your every action to fit their warped and sophomoric dream of a utopia where the serfs know their place and the wise bureaucrats make the decisions for all of us as to what we should buy, where we should go, how we should live, what we should do, how our health care should be distributed and how long we should live. (It's all "for the children")
This is one of the major driving forces behind their desire for gun control. You'll notice that they actually have nothing against guns in the hands of their beloved police or the federal Rodina Security. They only want to keep guns out of the "wrong hands" and the wrong hands would be your hands and my hands.
That pic of police oughta wake a few of the sleepin sheeple. It's a stark reminder of how a centralized tyrannical authority in total control of the masses can behave.
Well, I’m sorry it’s now occupied. My oldest brother used to live there in the early 1980’s. He and his wife had a restaurant, and it used to be nice there. He was very conservative.
“We need to be “of one mind” and not let some crazy start something before the rest of us are ready.”
I agree, and I would never start anything that would bring the wrath of the government down upon you.
But, if you’re not ready now, you’d better get that way because they have no concern of your readiness.
They’re coming, regardless.
“But, if you’re not ready now, you’d better get that way because they have no concern of your readiness.

I’m as ready as an “old” man can be.
I hear the same thing from the mainstream media. That’s why I think they are working. The media and the Democrats must sell us on the idea that we wanted all this spending and now we must accept the tax increases for it. If we make enough noise against the spending, the Democrats are going to have a hard time selling the idea that we wanted it.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
What we need is about 100M people to refile their W4 as “Exempt.”
Oh good grief. That’s just heartbreaking. And I suppose that the PTB there aren’t willing to even consider taking steps that will fix the problem because it’s not a problem for them if they have enough ignorant, pliable fools to keep electing them, legal or not. It’s all just getting to be too much.
Shutting down Washington’s streets with masses of humanity in much the same way Iranians shut down Tehran would work. We just don’t have the committed humanity willing to do it. It’s like that old story of the frog in the pot of boiling water — most of America is asleep and won’t realize that we’re ‘cooked’ until it’s too late.
“are unwilling to violate the law in order to save it”
1. Lex mala, lex nulla.
2. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
3. Under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true
place for a just man is also a prison.
Resistance to tyranny necessarily entails disobedience of the tyrant’s laws.
