Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. - Winston Churchill, October 29, 1941
Yes folks, to the bitter disappointment of our detractors, the Sawgrass Rebellion is moving forward at Godspeed. We told you from the beginning we would not back down, and we meant it.
On October 18th, 2002 the Property Rights Action Committee will be hosting a National Block Party/Yard Sale, and everyone in the nation is invited. This will be a first of its kind, as people from all walks of life will be in attendance. Admission is free. All that is required at the door is that you love your country, care about your neighbor and have a desire to be a part of something larger than yourself.
Our efforts to have a structured, professional and well promoted event have been thwarted at every turn, so we've decided not to rely on those whose motives may be less than honorable, and bring everyone right to our homes. Coincidentally (or not), our homes happen to be directly in the heart of one of the areas targeted for destruction.
After all the fun and festivities, we will muster the troops and vehicles for a convoy across the Everglades (via Alligator alley) to the main event at a location -to be determined - in or near another heavily-battered community in Homestead.
In addition to meeting the very families that are directly affected by the scourge that has been visited on their community, you will meet some wonderful people. Some are veterans of battles similar to the one we're fighting here.
Hear this: You will not find rabid ideologues, political lobbyists or extremists. We are normal people who are trying to defend our families, our livelihoods and our way of life. We have no choice but to choose our children over sparrows and obscure plants, our country over the bank accounts of the enviro-conglomerates, our sweat and blood over junk science. We never asked to be set upon by this complex, well-oiled and anti-American extortion machine, but we will rise to the occasion. We have no choice but to fight with everything we have, as this illicit, freedom-destroying monster must be stopped at all costs.
We must activate and create movement and we must activate and create movement NOW, lest we be trampled underfoot, only to become a footnote in our opponents' tactical play book.
If you're interested in our worthy cause and intent on securing the integrity of this beautiful land we call America, we're recruiting. Every single solitary one of you is a precious resource made in the likeness of God, who is needed NOW, more than ever. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, powerful or humble.
To the laborer, the politician, the artist, the writer, the athlete, the sportsman. To the fathers, sons, daughters and mothers. Sisters and brothers. The young and old, the weak and the strong. Sisters and brothers; young and old; weak and strong; you are all powerful and capable, with great potential, potential way beyond your imagination. Believe this: you are not being advised or counseled ....you are being witnessed to.
The first and best thing you can do is show up on the ground. Be there for this most historic event. Take a vacation or a one-day fly in. Join one of the convoys on its way in, or take a bus or a boat. We don't care if you float in aboard a hot-air balloon, or hop across country on one toe, just get here. It might not be easy, but it will be more than worth it. God smiles on those who hear their neighbor's pleas for help. Your children will admire and thank you for it.
If you are unable get here, there is still so much you can do. You can pray, write, work, sing, speak, donate, lead, follow and inspire. Pull some strings, or make some noise. Call a radio show or a politician. Write stories, press releases, letters and emails. Show up at a rally along the way and support these fine examples of the human race. Move a mountain or re-arrange some furniture. Buy a T-shirt, spread the word. Just do something. Whatever that something is, it is of vital importance for an urgent undertaking. We've been too long on talk, and too short on action for too long a time, which is how we got into this mess in the first place.
Tell a friend. Most importantly, tell your children. Tell them about us and about our country and those who came before them. Tell them about the freedom that God and our founding fathers intended for us. They are next in line and there may be a time when they are called, as we have been. After all, this is just beginning. We must remain forever one step ahead of those who would tear us down, to further their anti-God, anti family and anti-American quest for power.
God bless you, God bless this Sawgrass Rebellion and God bless America.

That said, is this ridiculous spamming needed? Do we really need two giant posts that say exactly the same thing on top of each other? It's un-needed and stupid. I have a good mind to withhold my donation and lessen my fundraising efforts for the forum next time around. Please see to it that the fundraisers around here employ some common sense.
After a while you reach the point of diminishing returns.
In any case, 
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Florida ping list!. . .don't be shy.
