PROPOSED MISSION STATEMENT, AMERICAN SPRING 2014 (MARCH ON WASHINGTON)

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” – Ronald Reagan, 1961

As we, the American people, see our rights diminishing and our Constitution violated daily, we have become alarmed. We will fight to preserve our freedoms, as Ronald Reagan warned us to do – lest we lose the country we know and love.

Here are our demands:

1. OBAMACARE MUST BE OVERTURNED. This unworkable system will destroy medical freedom, and will affect every area of our lives. Medical information in the hands of the Federal or State government will be abused, used to deny us other rights, or used to control us. The costs of Obamacare are so onerous as to deprive us of our financial freedom at the most perilous point in our lives. Obamacare takes away our personal, private decisions, and puts that control in the hands of a government bureaucrat. The Obamacare bill was passed on many lies, and now those lies have been revealed.

2. THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY MUST STOP MASS-COLLECTION OF AMERICAN CITIZEN ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. Not even George Orwell, who wrote the horrifying novel 1984, envisioned a world in which every communication was monitored and stored for later use. This information can be used to blackmail, to determine political leanings, and ultimately to imprison or otherwise deny guaranteed rights.

3. AMNESTY FOR FOREIGN NATIONALS MUST NOT BE GRANTED. When foreigners come into our country, illegally and with no respect for the rule of law, our laws are diminished. Our culture is diminished. Our individual votes are watered down. Voters become disenfranchised. There is already a viable system to become a legitimate US citizen. Our immigration system is not broken – it is not being given a chance to work. Most of our distant relatives did things by the law and correctly. These people can too. NO AMNESTY.

4. CALL OFF THE REGULATORY AGENCIES. Like petty little tyrants, hordes of bureaucrats are swarming across America, making it harder to keep a company in business. The economy is suffering under the incredible burden of over 13,000 new regulations since Obama took office. Jobs are not being created, jobs are being lost to other nations who have no such obstacles to succeeding. If we are ever to turn this economy around, we must control these regulating agencies (such as the Environmental Protection Agency) before they choke the very life out of the nation and the nation’s economic engine.

Psssst. This isn't a game. These are not pawns. These are our friends. </quiet>

<LOUD!> Now, lets get the bastards! I'm tired of losing, or worse, winning and having ashes in my mouth. Dammit!!!

[Lazamataz]

Psssst. This isn't a game. These are not pawns. These are our friends.

No, but it has been my lifelong experience that levity helps move things along. Used it in business for decades.

[Cyber Liberty]

As have I. As have I, Laz. I’s been a long trip....

[BuckeyeTexan]

Yeah, we’re pretty friendly most days. ;p

[ctdonath2]

A distinction whereby outsiders will not discern a difference. MSM will instantly equate them, and viewers will not care beyond “them tea party types are goin’ over the edge”. We’ll be just “American Spring”, if some MSM wit doesn’t come up with a more catchy and derisive name.

[ctdonath2]

“But demands are what terrorists make.”

The British considered the Declaration of Independence a work of terrorists, yes.

[Lazamataz]

Good point. Suggestions if any?

[is_is]

too much....your list, which i agree with by the way, could be endless.....2nd amendment, term limits and on and on....

keep it simple:

“return to founding fathers principles”...blah blah blah....

[fatnotlazy]

I agree — repeal Obamacide, but DO NOT REPLACE IT. Otherwise, these fools will trot out an even worse scheme — such as universal health care.

[rdb3]

Bump!

"American Spring 2014 movement..."

One thing I've observed since the 1ate 1940's is that terms like "Social Justice" and ">country name< Spring" are the common indicators of an underlying marxist base for an organization or event.

JR had it right the first time...IMHO, should be used again ...

[SuperLuminal]

"Not only many events in many places, but many events, many times in many places. We need to repeat these events as many times and in as many places as is humanly possible all across the country for the duration. We need to rally the people to reclaim our God-given Liberty. We’re sick and tired of the liberals, progressives, socialists, Marxists, statists, fascists, etc, who have taken over our government, violated our constitution, destroyed our free-market economy and want to totally destroy our traditional moral society and our freedom, and we’re not going to take it anymore!!

Bears repeating...Here at the bottom...

[Lazamataz]

Ok, how's this, instead: The Great Leap Forward.

[Texas Fossil]

Restore the Constitution!

[wita]

I’ll ignore the fact that everyone with a FR arrival date prior to yours, should IMHO be on your ping list just out of uncommon courtesy if nothing else. That said, at least I got the message if not the ping.

[teeman8r]

beware the ides of march...

i say that is a great day to take on the empirical government by the people. in short time, i will lead a contingent from the eastern shore of maryland, west on route 50 to maryland avenue, and march on to the capitol, with no permit.

[PGalt]

GRRRRRREAT!

[Lazamataz]

You are committed to making these things happen.

usc, what do you think of this, instead of 'demands'?

I rather like it.
