How We Can Win the Second American Revolution Without Firing a Shot

A Tea Party Manifesto

by James Ostrowski

Ladies and Gentlemen

*** begin quote ***

To sum up, here’s a 12-step program for how you can start to restore the American Republic.

1. Decide that you’ve had enough. You want to do something to reverse America’s economic collapse. That something is nothing less than restoring the American republic. America’s problems of today were caused by the abandonment of that Republic slowly over a long period of time. Pledge allegiance to the principles of the American Revolution.

2. Write a letter to your family, friends and neighbors declaring your support for restoring the American Republic.

3. Invite them to a meeting.

4. Educate yourself on American history, politics and economics.

5. Hold the meeting and explain to them what you have learned and urge them to do the same and then hold their own meeting with their own social circle.

6. Display the symbol of the restoration of the republic, the Betsy Ross flag.

7. Patronize businesses that display this flag.

8. Boycott businesses that bankroll the political class.

9. Educate yourself on the rights of jurors. If you are called for jury duty, understand that the founding fathers designed the system as a check on government power. Remember that when you are in the jury room deliberating.

10. Patronize books, blogs, websites, newspapers, magazines, think tanks, and political groups that were right about the economic collapse. Mises.org., IlanaMercer.com and others. See our page for a complete list.

11. For political activism, join an existing Patriot group. Don’t reinvent the wheel. See our page for recommended groups. While I believe that politics is not our best field of battle at the moment, as our movement grows, we will soon be able to launch a successful frontal assault on the political class.

12. Follow these websites for continuing developments:

LIBERTY: Who will be the “minutemen”?

Are You Kidding Me?
by Don Cooper

*** begin quote ***

Where have all the heroes gone? Where are all the pioneers? Where are the visionaries? Where are the true statesmen? Where are the defenders of freedom? What has happened to the American Spirit of life and liberty? I guess they’re all at the mall or Starbucks and are too fat to get up out of their chair and fight. Or they’re looking forward to retirement and the “good life” after spending their life being a good soldier and playing by the rules and saving for the “golden years” while their real golden years of youth were passing them by. Certainly they can’t be asked to risk all that for something as silly as their children’s futures. How selfish of me.

Or maybe we don’t want to risk our children’s well-being now, so we defer it until they’re adults and let them deal with the fact that they can’t afford college or health care or a home without going into enormous debt and we never teach them the importance of things like: character, honor, integrity, truth and freedom but rather teach them how to live in fear and how important it is to get a “good job” and play by the rules and to go along to get along and that will be safe.

We’re pathetic.

*** end quote ***

We ARE pathetic.

Who will be our minutemen that assemble on the town green and say to the “King’s troops”: “NO!”?

With a mix of rifles and pitchforks, who drives the thugs out of the “capitals”?

Or do we just pray that the “chains” lay lightly?

Argh!

LIBERTY: What percentage of a slave are you?

Government deception: The rule not the exception

*** begin quote ***

Today’s politicians are not likely to take measures to avoid the coming chaos because senior citizens, the major beneficiaries of Social Security and Medicare, vote in large numbers and will exact a high political price. Plus, neither today’s senior citizens nor today’s politicians will be alive in 2050. I’d be more optimistic if my fellow Americans were simply suffering from congressional deception as opposed to their not caring about the economic calamity that awaits tomorrow’s Americans. I’d be even more optimistic if today’s seniors started putting heat on Congress to allow those Americans who want nothing to do with Social Security to opt out.

Like that is ever going to happen. Politicians and bureaucrats will never release the “wage slaves” without a fight.

LIBERTY: Rutgers violates all women’s Fourth Amendment rights

Sunday, March 22, 2009

After 9/11, Rutgers University instituted “security”. Theater at its best!

DSCN0145.JPG

Some how the Cure Insurance company advertising SUV is allowed to park right outside. And, I see the handicap bus blocked from dropping off at the front door. And, all those folks have to hike in.

DSCN0147.JPG

Patrons have their bags searched. All patrons. Mostly women. Men gat a pass. I’ve put Frau’s bag under my coat when she’s forgotten to leave it home or in the car.

Security theater!

Let anyone forget. RU is NOT a private business. It’s a State- funded “entity”. As such, it’s gooferment.

Note, when we went to Seton Hall, there was no such “bag check”.

How do we get our rights back, once they are taken away by gooferment?

I don’t know. Do you?

And, do get me started about the ongoing policy of selling bottles of soda but removing the cap. Students once threw them on the court.. After a few spills, smart repeat visitors just bring caps from home. Soda manufacturer put the prizes under the cap. I’ve seen the the vendors checking them. I guess they get to keep the caps that win. So they will be real diligent about “seizing ” the caps. Argh!

Students once staged a sit in on the court. We still have the absurd barriers up to prevent that from reoccurring. Hard on the handicapped and elderly who sit down court–side. Of course, there’s now VIP seating on the other side of that barrier.

It’s absurd!

LIBERTY: Hold the ‘Catastrophe’: Obama Says He’s ‘Highly Optimistic’ About Economy

Obama: Economic crisis ‘not as bad as we think’

Hold the ‘Catastrophe’: Obama Says He’s ‘Highly Optimistic’ About Economy

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON (AP) – Confronting misgivings, even in his own party, President Barack Obama mounted a stout defense of his blueprint to overhaul the economy Thursday, declaring the national crisis is “not as bad as we think” and his plans will speed recovery.

Challenged to provide encouragement as the nation’s “confidence builder in chief,” Obama said Americans shouldn’t be whipsawed by bursts of either bad or good news and he was “highly optimistic” about the long term.

The president’s proposals for major health care, energy and education changes in the midst of economic hard times faced skepticism from both Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill, as senators questioned his budget outlook and the deficits it envisions in the middle of the next decade.

But Obama, speaking to top executives of the Business Roundtable, expressed an optimistic vision and called for patience.

*** end quote ***

Well, “they” have passed the PORKULOUS bill and the various versions of TARP.

Guess they have always stampeded us into giving up more of our money and our liberty.

So much for “change”. Guess I’ll just have to “hope”.

So what are they going to repeal and cut.

LIBERTY: If you used the system to change the system

Monday, March 9, 2009

A Story about Change

*** begin quote ***

Hopefully you understand why I no longer believe in using the system to change the system. I’ve found the problem to be “the system”. The process for adding, changing and removing laws of any significance in the direction of freedom and liberty is hopelessly broken. Laws still work great for giving an edge to your friends, setting up barriers to entry, consolidating power to a few large players in a given industry (power, water, telephone, cable, autos, banks, etc. . ), or punishing others with unprofitable mandates.

*** end quote ***  

A well said response to the challenge; “You and the other people who agree with you could accomplish so much more if you used the system to change the system.”

The system is broken and biased against freedom and liberty!

Just try and get a third party on the ballot. Just try and get a Ron Paul as the nominee of one of the two major parties. Just try and change ANYTHING!

LIBERTY: With or against the Federal Government?

Sunday, March 8, 2009

Do you stand with or against the Federal Government?
By Russell Kanning

*** begin quote ***

The 400+ men and women that meet in the NH State House this time of year are discussing whether or not NH should remain a part of the U.S. no matter what the Feds do. A handful of reps decided to put forth a bill, HCR6 that proposes that if the government in Washington DC decides to implement measures like mandatory national service, then NH will leave the union. That seems very reasonable to me. Upon entering the US, NH like the majority of other states, left themselves room to voluntarily leave the arrangement, and this bill is patterned after similar resolutions and declarations penned by Thomas Jefferson. So I am asking you, would you prefer to stand with or against the current incarnation of the US Government?

*** end quote ***

Frankly, I don’t think it matters.

It’s like asking if the slave master will let the serf go. Ain’t going to happen.

Unless the terrorists are landing on the shore, I’d say “against”.

Looking at the Obama acts and quotes, I’d say against.

LIBERTY: the Right to Prove One’s Innocence?

New at Reason: Radley Balko on DNA Testing and the Right to Prove One’s Innocence

March 2, 2009, 6:50pm

*** begin quote ***

If a convict can establish irrefutable proof of his innocence with a simple DNA test, does he have a constitutional right to that test, even if he has exhausted his legal appeals? As Senior Editor Radley Balko writes, the answer to that question may depend on how the Supreme Court rules in the case of District Attorney’s Office v. Osborne, which it heard today.

*** and ***

The state of Alaska and its supporters are arguing in Osborne that once a defendant has exhausted his appeals, those values switch, making the protection of a conviction more important than achieving actual justice.
