Dear Lovers of Freedom

Dear Champions of Freedom,

Why do we continue to frustrate ourselves by doing the same old things over and over? Should it not surprise us that the results always end up the same—Bigger Government! Whether Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Socialists, Liberals or Conservatives are in office, we the people of the Sovereign States must obey all the rules, regulations, mandates, quotas, tax increases, stimulus packages, valueless currency, bailouts, and judicial decrees that spew forth from our ever expanding toad-like federal government.

If you are as disgusted as I, maybe (no maybes about it) there is another option for the bold and the brave harkening to the words of the late General George S. Patton once said, “Audacity, audacity, always audacity,” and that is creating a movement to re-establish liberty and justice for all.

But what is the biggest obstacle standing in our way? It is us, you and me and the plethora of organizations vying for attention and noteworthiness. What’s lacking is a visionary idea and a plan to daringly implement it! It’s time to say, “No to the status quo!”

You may ask: “How’s it possible? How can we (though small dedicated groups) regain the freedoms we’ve lost under all administrations?” It has been said that attempting to get Southerners to agree is like trying to herd cats. The same is true with political and non-political organizations, which by nature have different niches of interests. However, with a cooperative effort of organizational leaders, all is possible and most probable. Note: I said an organized effort—and that is restoring the power of the 9th and 10th Amendment to the Constitution with the Sovereign States passing a States Sovereignty Amendment.

Before one begins, we need a clear and innovative plan. In the book “Restoring Liberty” by James Ronald Kennedy (a must buy and read) he thoughtfully and logically lays out the plan. This amazing book can be purchased a TheKennedyTwins.com . The following comes from their exceptional book.





STEP ONE: PROMOTE THE IDEA
OF A LIBERTY-BASED SOCIETY
The first step is to immerse yourself in the book (by the way, I have no financial interests in the book) and then spread the word about the ideas of the author. As we move on to steps two, three, and others, hopefully you will take the responsibility for promoting the idea of a Liberty-Based Society and States Rights.


STEP TWO: ORGANIZING LIBERTY WORKING GROUPS

Every city and county will eventually have a group of gutsy individuals who will be responsible for convincing their organization, friends and neighbors of the need for a Liberty-Based Society. These working groups (hopefully the organization they’re involved with) will help fund a direct-mail campaign, hand-out campaign and phone-in campaign aimed at converting business-as-usual conservatives into champions of liberty.


STEP THREE: PREPARE FOR POLITICAL ACTION

Each month through the leaders of each organization, direct-mail, e-mail or handout materials will be provided for or on behalf of local working groups. The local organizations will be responsible for contacting individuals who respond to these direct-mail, e-mail or handout solicitations. The purpose is to build a grassroots political organization in every city and county. Local working groups will organize political-action training sessions to educate supporters on the historical contexts, philosophy, and practical training in the art of political warfare.


STEP FOUR: CONTEST THE GOP PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

Our aim will be to capture the hearts and minds of the GOP electors (delegates) to the GOP National Nominating Convention or at least run a write in candidate. Only by performing step three correctly and thoroughly, can we succeed. The beauty of Kennedy’s strategy of contesting the presidential primary and convention is that our campaign will not be distorted by the liberal/socialist media. We will not be running against labor unions, NAACP types or other leftist bloc-voting pressure groups. We will be taking our liberty message to the people. Even so the media coverage will probably be critical of our message, likening it to a “civil war”, stating that “states rights died at Appomattox.” It didn’t die at Bunker Hill or at Yorktown, nor did it die at Appomattox.”

The media coverage will in all probability make our cause table talk throughout America, thus normalizing the idea of over turning the current and future liberal/socialist model as well as business-as-usual neoconservatives and replacing them with a Liberty-Based model. No matter what the eventual election results might be, we still win by getting our message out.

STEP FIVE: GOP PLATFORM AND VICE-PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION

If we work hard and accomplish steps one, two, three and four; we should win a substantial number of delegates. Our next aim will be to hang the neoconservatives and business-as-usual politicians on the horns of a dilemma—accept our candidate for president or at a minimum vice-president and endorse the State Sovereignty Amendment on their platform, or else we pull out and run a third-party presidential campaign. This in essence will compel Americans in every state to reconsider the continuation of the liberal/socialist agenda or even the business-as-usual GOP politicians. If their aim is not a Liberty-Based Society and Government we need not vote for them. What would be the point? It would only be a delay to the expanding growth of the federal government and its quest to deny us more of our God-given liberties!

STEP SIX: STATE AND LOCAL POLITICAL ACTION

Regardless of the presidential outcome, we have still normalized the idea of a Liberty-Based citizenry with action groups in every city, county and state. Our next step will be to begin contesting local and state elections so as to capture control of every governor’s office, legislature (state and federal), and local offices.

By doing this, our state legislatures and Congress will slowly fill with our candidates who are dedicated to adding the State Sovereignty Amendment to both state and federal constitutions (even though we have the disregarded the 9th and 10th amendments). No longer will “we the people” be taken for granted by the Republican Party or ignored by the Democratic Party.
At the state legislative level, we will dispense with the toothless State Sovereignty Resolutions or Memorials which are non-binding legally. They tend to be more of an urging or begging the federal government to live up to the Constitution (fat chance of that ever happening). Only two governors have even signed these resolutions coming out of their state legislatures: Governors Palin of Alaska and Bredesen of Tennessee.
The rest, I guess, are so attached to the teats of Washington D.C. that they are afraid to let go (cowards all). It’s time to take the kid gloves off, don’t you think?

It’s time that our state elected leaders pass such an amendment to show the seriousness of our love for freedom. It’s time that these leaders start embarrassing the federal authorities, showing just what tyranny they can dish out. For example, when Chief Justice Roy Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court challenged the federal government by placing the Ten Commandments in the courthouse building, we all knew what the outcome would be.

In like fashion “we the people” need to move from vain acts to acts of political disobedience. States need to pass and attempt to enforce laws contrary to the federal government’s unconstitutional acts that they force us to accept, such as, legal abortion (where the life of the mother is not at risk), racial quotas, gay marriage, soda pop tax, limiting our access to natural resources, cap and trade tax, government health care and on and on. What will be the federal government’s response? We know that ahead of time, but we act in order to force them to demonstrate its oppressive nature; in order to wake up and rouse the public and put the federal government on notice that we are no longer willing to play the game by their rules! All manner of public discourse and action (boycotts, tea parties, petitions and acts of nullification) will be employed and organized for the sole purpose of removing the current liberal/socialist political model and replacing it with a Liberty-Based model of states rights.

STEP SEVEN: PASSAGE OF THE STATE SOVEREIGNTY AMENDMENT
OR INDEPENDENCE

Everything that Mr. Kennedy advocates, as well as I, is aimed at the restoration of the original Republic of Republics in the United States. Because liberal/socialists and special interest groups have a lot to lose, they will do everything conceivable to prevent the introduction of this amendment, especially to the U.S. Constitution. But alas, when our freedom is at stake, we must be willing to save our own society and state, even if our neighboring states in other areas of the country are not interested in preserving their own liberty. (Now would be an excellent time to re-read the Declaration of Independence).

There are many conservative activists who work hard for special interest issues such as border control, pro-life, 2nd Amendment rights, lower taxes, education and restoring moral decency to America. While these are all good causes, tactically they consume a large amount of our limited energies while leaving the underlying problem unsolved. By following this strategic approach, once accomplished, it will alleviate most of the tactical issues that we now expend valuable time and energy on. Under the present system we have and will have more brush fires than we will ever be able to fight and extinguish. Why not just take the liberal/socialists matches away? We have seen the results of a century of conservative failure. It is now time for us to “think out of the box” and adopt a bold and audacious strategy that will lead us to victory!
