FOR FREEDOM!!

The brainchild of FreeRepublic.com poster "dcwusmc", VCR was started by posting an announcement on FreeRepublic during the afternoon of December 11, 2001, asking veterans if they would be interested in joining the proposed organization. Within hours of the initial post, over 100 replies had been generated, and volunteers to serve as the first Board of Directors had been identified and a veteran in Nevada had agreed to serve the organization as the Resident Agent in that state.
The first meeting of the new Board of Directors was held online in IRC chat on December 16, 2001 in the virtual Board Room established on Freedom-USA IRC network. The channel on Freedom-USA's network is #vcr.
The goals of the organization are simple: an ongoing educational outreach program that will explain to and teach the people about our republican form of government, how government has over-reached and extended itself beyond its mandated limits, and what needs to be done to push government, particularly the federal government, back inside its constitutional box, and to limit it to ONLY those powers and duties specifically granted to it by the Constitution. We are asking veterans to join us in this endeavor, because of the OATH that we all took, to PROTECT and DEFEND the Constitution from ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. The task before us is daunting, but American Veterans have faced daunting tasks before, and I'm hopeful that you will step up again before we lose the Republic and all that it has stood for these past 200+ years, FREEDOM and LIBERTY.
Toward this end, several projects are in the works, with the goal of ending 80+ years of creaping socialism and restoring the Constitutional Republic envisioned by the Founding Fathers.
(1) To assist in the promotion of the General Welfare of the United States by serving as an educational resource center for serious research and other information about the Constitution of the United States and the founding documents in order to provide the pubic with access to these reports and studies; to make available educational materials on the Constitution to public, private and home schools, and to make available members to give lectures and lead discussions on the Constitution and founding documents; to foster, perpetuate and preserve via an ongoing educational outreach program conducted in the electronic media (including but not limited to radio, television, the Internet, etc.) to explain and teach people an appreciation of the republican form of government of this nation as defined in the Constitution of the United States, and the importance of restoring the governance of our nation to the precepts of the Constitution;
(2) to establish and maintain a collection of art and materials (including but not limited to paintings, sculpture, photos, writings, etc.) and related archival materials that reflect our heritage and Constitutional roots and provide for their display, both through regular exhibits and/or through the creation of a cyberspace museum;
(3) to educate the public about our founding documents and our heritage in electronic media (including but not limited to Radio, Television, the Internet, etc.);
(4) to provide entertainment and support to veterans and members of the U.S. Armed Forces via electronic media (including but not limited to radio, television, the Internet, etc.);
(5) to conduct programs which perpetuate the memory of deceased veterans and members of the Armed Forces;
(6) to sponsor or participate in activities of a patriotic nature;
(7) to provide support or otherwise assist corporations, organizations, institutions and individuals carrying on such activities which are consistent with the purposes of this corporation; and
(8) To review current and pending legislation for adherence to Constitutional law and original intent; and to engage in any other lawful activities permitted under Chapter 82 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS).
FOR FREEDOM!!
just gives me goose bumps thinking about it.
Would still like for you to join us even if you don't have the time to actively contribute. Ya don't want to miss specific updates, notices, alerts, project info, etc. that will be sent out directly to members. Either way, you're certainly doing your part for our Military and Homeland Defense. Best regards.
Bump.
