Hey Folks,
In the interest of keeping all of you informed, I have provided a link
to the U.N.'s Agenda 21. There has been a lot of talk of this from Glenn
Beck and knowing that many of you listen to him I wanted you to be able
to have the actual document from the U.N. I must say it is very
enlightening. It is a bit of a dry read, but it will inform you to what
the Liberals are aiming for and what is to come...if we let them.

Continue Brave Patriot, Continue
Hey Folks,
Well, here we are. We held an election between two
politicians and guess what...the politician won. I know there are many of you
who are possibly suffering from P.E.S.D.* (post election stress disorder), but
let me run a few things by you.
First off, what do you think would have happened had
Governor Romney won? What would have President Obama done in these last few
months to get the rest of his agenda through? Did any of you actually think
Romney could have reversed the damage that has already been caused? I know, the
repeal of Obama-Care would have been a great start, however there are many
taxes that are scheduled to start in January. Trust me, when all the crap that
is headed our way from the policies Obama enacted over the last four years hit,
Romney would have been destroyed by the media and the liberal machine. I
believe that the devastation that would have occurred had Romney taken the fall
for what is to come would have been insurmountable and I don't think
conservatives and libertarians would have been able to have any voice what-so-ever
after that.
Don't get me wrong, I am upset, but I can't change what I cannot
change. I could sit here and kick myself in the head and keep telling myself
Rodney and I failed in educating you. I could get more upset and just give up.
You know what though, I am not going to let that happen. I realize Rodney and I
have basically been preaching to the choir here. Those of you who read our
blog, get our newsletters, visit our website, or follow us on Facebook are like-minded.
The reasons you follow us is because you believe the same things we do,
basically. However, we are not alone.
Our blog is followed by people all over the World, Russia,
Brazil, France, Germany, Egypt, Ukraine, Portugal, China, Canada, Slovenia,
Hungary, Malaysia, Australia, Israel, and many others. I believe that the
people in those countries are looking for the leadership America has always
provided. No, I don't think Rodney and I are the leaders they're looking for,
but the fact that such a small, relatively unknown blog like ours is receiving
that type of attention speaks volumes to the human condition being experienced
all over the world from people who long to be free. I want all of you to know,
the mere fact that you follow us on our different sites, you are being looked
to by those you don't even know. Actions, as well as elections, have consequences.
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and
the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their
country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and
woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this
consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the
triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only
that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon
its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM
should not be highly rated." ~ Thomas Paine (December 23, 1776)
Folks, are you a summer soldier? A sunshine patriot? If you
are like Rodney or I, and I believe most of you are, you are neither. You are
an American! God, Country, Family, that's us. We believe America is the last,
best hope of millions. We believe our Country (though imperfect), our
Constitution, are still better than anything else ever tried by mankind. We
believe in giving each other a hand up. That even the poorest among us can
become the greatest among us. No other country in the world can one imagine
they can be anything they strive to be (the magic here is in the striving). We
believe in rugged individualism, that "I can build it, I can do it, I can
achieve it". We believe in teaching a man how to fish instead of handing
him a fish. We do not rely on a government who will give us anything we want,
because we know that that government can also take everything we have. We are
the Patriots of today. Let us strive to be what we were meant to be, The
shining city upon the hill, the last great hope of mankind. I will not kid you, it is going to be very
tough from here on out, but even George Washington lost more battles than he
won. Take courage Patriots, you are on the right side of this fight. Please,
whatever you do, don't sit in the corner licking your wounds, channel your
passion for this country into action, keep up the good fight. Stand Your Ground!
Folks, Thanksgiving is coming up and I don't know if we will
post anything before then, but I want all of you to know please give thanks for
the Country that we grew up in. Give thanks for our families and friends, pray
for our Country, and pray for our President. Pray that he will see the
destruction and change his course. Pray that he will become the leader that the
World needs. I ask you folks to please, please pray for Israel. Our blessed
friend Israel is in extreme danger and I fear that if our President doesn't
realize the errors of his way, our friend may perish. I don't think it will
perish by our hand, but by a lack of our hand of protection. I hope we all know
that the call for the destruction of an entire group of people is pure evil. Please,
dig deep into your soul and seek the answers you are looking for.
Half of our Countrymen don't realize what our Founders gave
us. We must continue to educate them as to why Socialism doesn't work and why the
American experiment was the greatest gift ever given, not to just Americans,
but to the entire world.
Continue brave Patriots, continue.
Mike

Freedom of What Religion?
(Disclaimer: This newsletter is probably going to be very controversial in some
circles. My intent is not to incite violence or to target any individuals, I am
trying to enlighten and inform. I might add that I feel truly blessed to be
able to convey this message to you because I live in the U.S.A. and not in
Russia where those who disagree are once again being thrown into prisons for
speaking out).
“Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of
grievances.” - First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
Hey Folks,
I am sure those of you who follow faith based issues have
seen how over the last few decades the Christian religion, the religion of a
majority of our forefathers, has been constantly under attack by those who wish
to control the conversation (among other things). Many of those attacking this
religion use what they call the “Separation of Church and State” clause;
however one would be hard pressed to find this clause in the Constitution or
the Declaration of independence. If you confront these attackers about this
they refer to the “establishment” clause. Now, if you read the First Amendment
it does talk about making no law respecting an establishment of religion, which
is where most of those attacking Christianity stop. What these people refuse to
notice is that “Congress” shall make no
law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the “Exercise”
therof. It is Congress that has the limitations on it, not the religion. In
the upside down world of “Political Correctness”, the prohibiting of the free
exercise is rampant. Under President Obama and Obama Care, many religious organizations
are required to go against their beliefs (their free exercise thereof) by
providing for abortions and contraception. For years, these intolerant
attackers have tore down crosses, stopped free speech if it was of a religious
nature, forced religious institutions to hire those who do not hold their
beliefs, filed lawsuit after lawsuit to “Prohibit The Free Exercise” of pretty
much only two religions, Christianity and Judaism. It amazes me that two
religions that pray for the whole of mankind, that believes we are all God’s
children and worthy of redemption, who pray for the non-believers, are told they are intolerant, while those
attacking these religions are propping up and encouraging a religion that
states in its holiest book that non-believers must be beheaded (Qur’an Sura (8:12) - I
will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off
their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.).
After
Barack Obama was elected, and prior to, many were questioning what his religion
was. Many stated, as he did, that he was a Christian. Many took him at his word
and we found that he was a member of Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United
Church of Christ. Not too many people questioned anything after that, but a few
people noticed that his church taught Black Liberation Theology. Now I am all
about keeping blacks liberated, however this theology is not based in the Bible
but more socialist doctrines (Trinity United Church of Christ adopted
the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee
chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981). I won’t get too deep into this subject here
because I would like to talk more about what a minority of people saw...Obama’s
Muslim roots.
I do not think that Barack Obama is a Muslim; however I do
think he does have a connection to Islam from his time in Indonesia. I do believe
he admires the religion of his step father even if he does not follow it. For
many who believe that he is a Muslim, the President has not done a lot to show
that he is not. In his 3 years he went to Egypt and apologized for the U.S., He
bowed to the Saudis (and many others), he celebrated Ramadan at the Capitol, he
supported the overthrow of the Egyptian government by the Muslim Brotherhood (a
terrorist group), he supported the overthrow of Libya by Al-Qaeda sympathizers,
he has called for Israel to return to the indefensible borders of 1967, his
administration leaked the plans of our allies (Israel) to the Iranians, he
invited the head of the Muslim Brotherhood into the White House, and this is
just a few of such things the President has done that seems to favor Islam. It
is very easy to see why those who claim he is Muslim to believe that way. And
to make things worse…The DNC will open with a Jummah! Oh, I’m sorry, what’s a
Jummah? A Jummah is the Friday congregational prayers that all Muslims do…You
know, when you hear the Muezzin (the guy singing from the tower) melodically
singing “Allahu Akbar” it is time for the DNC…oops, time for Friday prayers to
begin. I wonder why the “separation of Church and State” doesn’t apply
here. Perhaps this is why Obama claimed
“we are not a Christian Nation”. The
Blaze Article on the DNC Jummah
Now, I have written before about Dar-al-Islam and
Dar-al-harb before, but as a refresher; Dar-al-Islam is the house of Islam,
Dar-al-harb is the house of war; these are the two houses that exist in Islam.
Basically if you are not Muslim, you are of the house of war and therefore must
be killed (refer to the previous Qur’anic Sura). The Islamic world is in a
constant state of war because they are commanded to conquer the world for
Allah. Now, this is not to say that All
Muslims believe this way, however it is the belief of those that have declared
us their enemy, which is millions.
So who is our enemy, Millions of radical Muslims ( if
radical means following the teachings of one’s holy book). So if one were to
apologize to this enemy, invite this enemy into our sacred halls, give vital
information of those allied with us to this enemy, give up our traditions for theirs, and pray
as they do, I ask, is that giving aid and comfort to the enemy? Is this the
“Fundamental Transformation” Obama was talking about?
“Treason
against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in
adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be
convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt
Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the
Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or
Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.” - U.S. Constitution Article Three
Can a President be accused of Treason? Is the United
States the “President” or We The People? The issue here is to figure out if the
actions of this administration are intentional or are these people really that
naïve. I believe the latter is possible only due to the fact that these people
believe they are so superior intellectually to those of us who see these
things, that they dismiss anything we may say, even if it is the truth. Their
arrogance is unsurpassed and unfortunately could be the downfall of us all.
Please keep up to date with us on www.ThePeopleofLiberty.com , and please make
sure everyone you know is registered to vote and does so this November. We
cannot afford 4 more years of this! If you, yourselves decide not vote, please
vote to protect our children and their children from the dangerous and irrational policies of this Administration.

Stay Informed!
Hello all,
I
don’t know about you but I’m enjoying watching the Olympics on T.V. and
eating some Chick-Fil-A. That’s right I said it, Chick-Fil-A! I know
you have heard the ruckus over this but really, this is ridiculous. The
owner of Chick-Fil-A, in an interview, talks about his belief of
marriage is between a man and a woman. Damn, you would have thought he
said all gay people must die and they are not welcome in his
restaurants. Now, it should be no surprise people, that the owner of
Chick-Fil-A holds these beliefs; his stores are closed on Sundays so his
employees can attend church if they choose to do so. The owner, Dan T
Cathy, never said gay people are not welcome in his restaurants but
apparently the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi sexual, and Transgender)
Organization interpreted his statement that way. They called for a
boycott of Chick-Fil-A, hell even Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel (sound
familiar?) vowed to block Chick-Fil-A restaurants from opening in the
city. Emanuel has since backed off of his statement and Chick-Fil-A has
earned a lot of support. Believe it or not, support has come from the
Gay community. Not that they agree with Cathy’s beliefs but they do
understand his right to say what he wants without fear of the government
threatening this business. You know what’s pretty sad, when some of us
in this country hold fast food restaurants to a higher standard than we
do our President. President Obama held these same beliefs about same sex
marriage, until recently. I wonder if the LGBT held a boycott of the
2008 Presidential Election.
Speaking
of elections, it’s time for some more election year hijinks. I recently
read about a group who sent out pre-filled out voter registration cards
to some people who were deceased, some were actually mailed to peoples
pets! This excerpt is from the Seattle times. “The voter registration
form arrived in the mail last month with some key information already
filled in: Rosie Charlston’s name was complete, as was her Seattle
address. Problem is, Rosie was a black lab who died in 1998. A group
called the Voter Participation Center has touted the distribution of
some 5 million registration forms in recent weeks, targeting
Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as unmarried women, Blacks,
Latinos, and young adults. But residents and election administrators
around the country also have reported a series of bizarre and
questionable mailings addressed to animals, dead people, noncitizens,
and people who are already registered voters. Brenda Charlston wasn’t
the only person to get documents for her pet: a Virginia man said
similar documents arrived for his dead dog, Mozart, while a woman in the
state got forms for her cat, Scampers. The Voter Participation Center-
acknowledges that the databases it uses to contact possible voters are
imperfect because they are developed from commercially collected
information. The group also says it expects people who receive
misdirected mail to simply throw it away. The mailing appears official,
arriving in privacy envelopes with the heading “VOTERS REGISTRATION
DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED.” Some information is already complete on the voter
registration papers, and recipients also get an envelope to send
completed forms to local elections officials”. Sounds like vote
tampering to me.
Listen,
in this election season you will hear all kinds of crap being said
about the candidates, I call this, distractions. It has already started
against Mitt Romney. Everything from “he’s a felon”, “he caused the
death of a women who had no health care” to Harry Reid’s “someone told
me he paid no taxes for years.” I’m sure there will be some things said
about President Obama that will either not be exactly true or
distortion. The point I want to make is that we are responsible for
educating ourselves. Not the nightly news or the headlines in the local
newspaper or the internet. We must be able to see through the
distractions and stay focused on fact and record. Informed people make
informed decisions. Let’s start talking to folks we know and get them
informed. I don’t want another 4 years of President Obama and his failed
politics and broken promises. Mitt Romney isn’t the knight in shining
armor either. Look into the records of the candidates and trust what you
find, not rely on CNN or FOX to decide for you.
My
monthly question for you is this. What qualities are you looking for in
the President of the United States? Let me and Mike know what you
think. What you have to say is important. All right got to go. My
chicken sandwich and waffle fries are getting cold. Congratulations to
all of the athletes representing the United States of America, Job well
done. Join us on our website. www.peopleofliberty.com ask questions, read or join in on our blogs for great information.
Until next time

DECLARE INDEPENDENCE!!!
Hey Folks,
I know many of you are thinking I am going to go on a rant about what happened with the Supreme Court’s Ruling on The Affordable Health Care Act (Obama-care), and how it shows the depth of the cancer that is progressivism, however I believe that this big bowl of lemons Chief Justice Roberts handed us can be turned into lemonade, or as my co-worker says; “into lemon bars”. 60-70% of Americans dislike this law and I truly believe that this outrageous ruling will do what the stimulus bill did and that is to awaken the sleeping Patriots all across this great Nation. I believe it will get more people involved in this election cycle than we have witnessed in a very long time. I hope all of you will make sure that you are registered to vote and that you will ensure that everyone you know is also. The only way we are going to stop the big government intrusion into our lives is to get our voices heard!
I know I will be accused of “mailing in” this week’s newsletter but I think it is a good idea, being so close to the 4th of July, that we hear from one of my favorite founders about another Power Hungry Ruler, such as the one we currently have. As you read this rough draft of the Declaration of Independence think about how Thomas Jefferson’s legacy has been smeared and hijacked by the party that claims him as its founder. See if you can find in his words the “Racist, Deist” that these liberal liars say he was:
(Note: misspellings are mostly how these words were written in the 18th and 19th centuries.)
A Declaration of the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in General Congress assembled.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a people to advance from that subordination in which they have hitherto remained, & to assume among the powers of the earth the equal & independent station to which the laws of nature & of nature's god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the change.
We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it's foundation on such principles & organising it's powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness. prudence indeed will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light & transient causes: and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. but when a long train of abuses & usurpations, begun at a distinguished period, & pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to subject them to arbitrary power, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government & to provide new guards for their future security. such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; & such is now the necessity which constrains them to expunge their former systems of government. the history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations, among which no one fact stands single or solitary to contradict the uniform tenor of the rest, all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. to prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.
he has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good;
he has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate & pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has neglected utterly to attend to them;
he has refused to pass other laws for the accomodation of large districts of people unless those people would relinquish the right of representation, a right inestimable to them, formidable to tyrants alone;
he has dissolved Representative houses repeatedly & continually, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people;
he has refused for a long space of time to cause others to be elected, whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the state remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, & convulsions within;
he has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither; & raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands;
he has suffered the administration of justice totally to cease in some of these colonies, refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers;
he has made our judges dependant on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and amount of their salaries;
he has erected a multitude of new offices by a self-assumed power, & sent hither swarms of officers to harrass our people & eat out their substance;
he has kept among us in times of peace standing armies & ships of war;
he has affected to render the military, independent of & superior to the civil power;
he has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitutions and unacknoleged by our laws; giving his assent to their pretended acts of legislation, for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;
for protecting them by a mock-trial from punishment for any murders they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;
for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;
for imposing taxes on us without our consent;
for depriving us of the benefits of trial by jury;
for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences;
for taking away our charters, & altering fundamentally the forms of our governments;
for suspending our own legislatures & declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever;
he has abdicated government here, withdrawing his governors, & declaring us out of his allegiance & protection;
he has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns & destroyed the lives of our people;
he is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation & tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty & perfidy unworthy the head of a civilized nation;
he has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, & conditions of existence;
he has incited treasonable insurrections in our fellow-subjects, with the allurements of forfeiture & confiscation of our property;
he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it's most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce: and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, & murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered by repeated injury. a prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a people who mean to be free. future ages will scarce believe that the hardiness of one man, adventured within the short compass of 12 years only, on so many acts of tyranny without a mask, over a people fostered & fixed in principles of liberty.
Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. we have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend a jurisdiction over these our states. we have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration & settlement here, no one of which could warrant so strange a pretension: that these were effected at the expence of our own blood & treasure, unassisted by the wealth or the strength of Great Britain: that in constituting indeed our several forms of government, we had adopted one common king, thereby laying a foundation for perpetual league & amity with them: but that submission to their parliament was no part of our constitution, nor ever in idea, if history may be credited: and we appealed to their native justice & magnanimity, as well as to the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations which were likely to interrupt our correspondence & connection. they too have been deaf to the voice of justice & of consanguinity, & when occasions have been given them, by the regular course of their laws, of removing from their councils the disturbers of our harmony, they have by their free election re-established them in power. at this very time too they are permitting their chief magistrate to send over not only soldiers of our common blood, but Scotch & foreign mercenaries to invade & deluge us in blood. these facts have given the last stab to agonizing affection, and manly spirit bids us to renounce for ever these unfeeling brethren. we must endeavor to forget our former love for them, and to hold them as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends. we might have been a free & great people together; but a communication of grandeur & of freedom it seems is below their dignity. be it so, since they will have it: the road to glory & happiness is open to us too; we will climb it in a separate state, and acquiesce in the necessity which pronounces our everlasting Adieu!
We therefore the representatives of the United States of America in General Congress assembled do, in the name & by authority of the good people of these states, reject and renounce a11 allegiance & subjection to the kings of Great Britain & all others who may hereafter claim by, through, or under them; we utterly dissolve & break off a11 political connection which may have heretofore subsisted between us & the people or parliament of Great Britain; and finally we do assert and declare these a colonies to be free and independent states, and that as free & independent states they shall hereafter have power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, & to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, & our sacred honour.
Well Folks, there you have it. Our current administration isn’t doing everything this Tyrant did, but I find it odd that I can imagine it, for the first time in my life with an American President. By no means am I advocating a violent revolution or bloodshed, but I vow to not stand by while any man, group of men, government, or alliance threatens my children’s individual freedom. It is for this reason I started the groups I did. It is for this reason I plead with you in these newsletters. It is for this reason I trust other Patriots will heed the call to take back what our forefathers gave us. What has happened to our country took almost 100 years to happen and will not be changed in one election. The only thing that will change it is eternal vigilance by Patriots like you!
I hope all of you have a great (and safe) 4th of July!

P.S. -The Declaration of Independence is a great read for the Fourth of July, how about making it a tradition.

he has refused for a long space of time to cause others to be elected, whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the state remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, & convulsions within;
he has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither; & raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands;
he has suffered the administration of justice totally to cease in some of these colonies, refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers;
he has made our judges dependant on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and amount of their salaries;
he has erected a multitude of new offices by a self-assumed power, & sent hither swarms of officers to harrass our people & eat out their substance;
he has kept among us in times of peace standing armies & ships of war;
he has affected to render the military, independent of & superior to the civil power;
he has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitutions and unacknoleged by our laws; giving his assent to their pretended acts of legislation, for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;
for protecting them by a mock-trial from punishment for any murders they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;
for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;
for imposing taxes on us without our consent;
for depriving us of the benefits of trial by jury;
for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences;
for taking away our charters, & altering fundamentally the forms of our governments;
for suspending our own legislatures & declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever;
he has abdicated government here, withdrawing his governors, & declaring us out of his allegiance & protection;
he has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns & destroyed the lives of our people;
he is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation & tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty & perfidy unworthy the head of a civilized nation;
he has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, & conditions of existence;
he has incited treasonable insurrections in our fellow-subjects, with the allurements of forfeiture & confiscation of our property;
he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it's most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce: and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, & murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered by repeated injury. a prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a people who mean to be free. future ages will scarce believe that the hardiness of one man, adventured within the short compass of 12 years only, on so many acts of tyranny without a mask, over a people fostered & fixed in principles of liberty.
Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. we have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend a jurisdiction over these our states. we have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration & settlement here, no one of which could warrant so strange a pretension: that these were effected at the expence of our own blood & treasure, unassisted by the wealth or the strength of Great Britain: that in constituting indeed our several forms of government, we had adopted one common king, thereby laying a foundation for perpetual league & amity with them: but that submission to their parliament was no part of our constitution, nor ever in idea, if history may be credited: and we appealed to their native justice & magnanimity, as well as to the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations which were likely to interrupt our correspondence & connection. they too have been deaf to the voice of justice & of consanguinity, & when occasions have been given them, by the regular course of their laws, of removing from their councils the disturbers of our harmony, they have by their free election re-established them in power. at this very time too they are permitting their chief magistrate to send over not only soldiers of our common blood, but Scotch & foreign mercenaries to invade & deluge us in blood. these facts have given the last stab to agonizing affection, and manly spirit bids us to renounce for ever these unfeeling brethren. we must endeavor to forget our former love for them, and to hold them as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends. we might have been a free & great people together; but a communication of grandeur & of freedom it seems is below their dignity. be it so, since they will have it: the road to glory & happiness is open to us too; we will climb it in a separate state, and acquiesce in the necessity which pronounces our everlasting Adieu!
We therefore the representatives of the United States of America in General Congress assembled do, in the name & by authority of the good people of these states, reject and renounce a11 allegiance & subjection to the kings of Great Britain & all others who may hereafter claim by, through, or under them; we utterly dissolve & break off a11 political connection which may have heretofore subsisted between us & the people or parliament of Great Britain; and finally we do assert and declare these a colonies to be free and independent states, and that as free & independent states they shall hereafter have power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, & to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, & our sacred honour.
Well Folks, there you have it. Our current administration isn’t doing everything this Tyrant did, but I find it odd that I can imagine it, for the first time in my life with an American President. By no means am I advocating a violent revolution or bloodshed, but I vow to not stand by while any man, group of men, government, or alliance threatens my children’s individual freedom. It is for this reason I started the groups I did. It is for this reason I plead with you in these newsletters. It is for this reason I trust other Patriots will heed the call to take back what our forefathers gave us. What has happened to our country took almost 100 years to happen and will not be changed in one election. The only thing that will change it is eternal vigilance by Patriots like you!
I hope all of you have a great (and safe) 4th of July!

The Betrayal Party
Hey Folks,
I have a great deal to discuss here and I hope you will take the time to read through all of it.
I, like many of you, am not impressed with the field of Presidential candidates being offered. I have complained in the past about always having to choose between the lesser of two evils, and always voting for principle instead of party. What I want to convey here is that even if the G.O.P. puts forth another mediocre candidate we can still vote our principles by voting against those who have betrayed our allies, our Country, and hundreds of millions of people all over the world. I contend that if you decide not to vote, you too are betraying our allies, our country, and the world we share.
In February 2011 the Obama Administration gave Russia U.K. Nuclear Secrets to secure a new START treaty. In May 2011 Obama betrayed Israel twice by telling them to retreat to the 1967 borders, which would be suicide, and by embracing the "Arab Spring" which would overthrow the only country that borders Israel who had a peace treaty with the small nation. The overthrow of Egypt's President brought to power the terrorist group, the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama's own Director of National Intelligence stated that the Muslim Brotherhood (who's founding was based on the total destruction of Israel) was "largely secular, which has eschewed violence". In January 2012 Obama betrayed the Catholic church(allies who helped get him elected) by requiring them to provide abortion coverage for their employees, going against their beliefs. Recently, Obama was overheard on an open microphone, asking Russia for "more time, that he would have more flexibility after his election", this has been seen as a betrayal of Poland (also betrayed in Sept. 2009 on the same issue) and Europe since it was in regards to the Missile Defense Shield we promised them. A few weeks ago, Obama's administration betrayed Israel once again by leaking information about Israel's plan to use Azerbaijani air fields to mount a surprise attack on Iranian nuclear sites. So, it appears that our friends are now our enemies and those who would like to see us destroyed are now our friends under the current administration.
Speaking of those that hate us, you know, the ones we keep giving our money to every time we fill up our gas tanks, why would we want to continue to rely on them for our very existence? Now I understand the liberals point of view on this, I don't agree but I do understand. They would like to see us using small, light weight, vehicles that run on electricity, yet they don't seem to realize that even those vehicles need lots of oil. Oil is required to make the light weight plastic, the batteries, the tires, the paint, and to run the machinery at the power plant to charge the vehicle anyhow. Oil is not used just for gasoline, but for just about everything that makes life convenient, and it saves lives through it's many pharmaceutical uses. Every attempt that has been made to make America independent from our enemies control of this vital resource has been rejected by this President's party. This Administration states that there is more drilling going on in America now than at any time in our history. Now, although this is a fact it is disingenuous for this Administration to take the credit for it since most of the permits were issued by the previous Administration for private land and this Administration has severely limited American companies from drilling in the Gulf while allowing other countries to do so. The permits that have been given by this Administration have been largely for old oil fields that don't yield nearly what we need. A deal that would have created thousands of jobs and brought more oil into our country from our friend Canada was rejected by President Obama killing those jobs and continuing our reliance on those he want us dead. Obama demonizes "Big Oil", you know the ones who drill, ship, refine, and bring a vital product to people all over the world, for making record profits, but fails to mention that "Big Oil" makes about 8 to 10 cents a gallon where as "Big Government" makes an average of 48 cents off of the same gallon! Oh, did I mention that Obama had a change of heart on the Keystone XL pipeline? He compromised by letting half of it be built...the lower half, you know the part furthest away from the oil. Appears to me that there is a lot of deception, twisting of truths, and manipulation going on.
Speaking of deception, twisting of truths, and manipulation, I would like to take a look at a long history of abuses and intellectual dishonesty that has occurred here in America and abroad by the Liberal Progressive Movement.
A tragedy took place in Florida February 26th, where a young 17 year old Black male was killed by a man named Zimmerman. I do not want to make light of this in any way what-so-ever, but may I ask you, why has this become a National issue? Were there no other tragedies that occurred on February 26th or since? Why is this story the main headline all over the mainstream media? A bigger tragedy takes place everyday where desensitized, ill informed youth wage warfare in the streets over colors, turf, pride, and race. Hundreds of innocent victims fall prey to these barbarians. In Chicago on St. Patrick's day 49 people were shot, one being a 6 year old girl who was killed on her steps when two Chicago gangs began shooting at each other. So why is the Trayvon Martin case the headline? To unite us? At a quick glance of the name Zimmerman one would believe this was a white man that shot Trayvon, but according to the mainstream media he is actually a new race of American, a White-Hispanic. Is Trayvon's tragedy more important than any other tragedy? Is Trayvon's death being used as a political tool to re-elect someone? Once again it appears the Progressive Left is using race to divide us. They have controlled our schools, our news, our entertainment, and our language for a very long time, so why are we falling apart and have become so divided? Connect the dots!
How many of you have ever heard of Pastor Richard Allen? Do you know that many consider him a Founding Father, who happens to be Black (Allen started the A.M.E. Church that still exists today)?
How about James Armistead ever hear of him? A Revolutionary War Double-Spy who was instrumental in General Washington's defeat of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown.
How about Jordan Freeman and Lambert Latham who battled the British forces at Groton Heights and were killed at Fort Griswold. After witnessing the cold blooded killing of their commander Lambert thrust his bayonet through the British officer. Lambert received multiple bayonet wounds upon doing so after avenging his commander.
What about Peter Salem, ever hear of him? He was part of the famous Massachusetts Minute Men. Salem is credited with shooting British commander Major John Pitcairn after Pitcairn exclaimed "The Day Is Ours!" at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
There are so many more Black Patriot's; Prince Whipple, Lemuel Haynes, Prince Sisson, James Forten, Peter Poor, Cuff Smith, Cesar Prince, Festus Prince and thousands more. Fact is there were Black Patriot's at Bunker Hill, Yorktown, Trenton, and so many other famous battles. Why don't you know about them?
Throughout America's early history Blacks and Whites fought side by side for our collective freedom. Some Black's did so as slaves while others did of their own free will. America has had her issues but on needs to look at her in perspective.
Slavery is a nauseating concept and should not be minimized or dismissed. What gets me is how so many damn America for slavery when slavery has been around for thousands of years and still continues today. If we put slavery in perspective, America practiced slavery for a relatively short period of time compared to other Nations who practiced this abomination (74 years). As a matter of fact, Thomas Jefferson's rough draft of the Declaration of Independence stated that one of the Founders issues with England was the continued importation of slaves into the colonies:
"...he (the King) has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither.
this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of
the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where
MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing
every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable
commerce; and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of
distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms
among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, &
murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former
crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he
urges them to commit against the lives of another."
Truth be told, most of America's Founders wanted an end to slavery, but were in a dilemma since commerce was sustained in large part (especially in the South) by slave labor. The abolitionist Founders knew it would take time which is the reason for the 3/5ths clause which gave slaves only a 3/5ths vote. Now many saw this as a racist clause stating that the Founders saw slaves as only 3/5ths of a person, not so. The Founders argued with the Slave owners, that wanted their slaves (who they considered property) to have a full vote. The Abolitionist Founders argued that if the slave owner's property could vote, so could their cattle. Imagine what would happen if a slave didn't vote the way his master wanted him to. So, by introducing the three fifths clause the abolitionist Founders limited the vote that would have helped slavery continue.
In 1861, Americans, Black and White, went to war with slavery as a prominent issue. Over 3/4 of a million lives were lost, America paid for her atrocity in blood. But more blood was to be shed in the years to come.
During the Reconstruction Era in America, many Blacks rose to prominence in politics: Hiram Rhodes Revels (first Black Senator), Robert De-Large (an ex-slave turned congressman), Josiah Walls (also an ex-slave turned congressman), Benjamin Turner (an ex-slave turned congressman), Jefferson Long (of the U.S. House), Joseph Haynes Rainey (an ex-slave and for a short time he was Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives), and Robert Brown Elliott (speaker of the S.C. House). Besides being Black all these men had something else in common, they were all Republicans. Most Blacks at that time were Republican due to the fact that that was the Party of Lincoln. In response, the Southern Democrats, who hated Lincoln (and the Republicans), enacted what became known as the Jim Crow laws. In fact, a group of angry Southerners created a group called the Ku Klux Klan to intimidate Black voters and White Republicans by lynching those they knew wouldn't comply with their wishes. Their founder and first Grand Wizard was one Southern Democrat, General Nathan Bedford Forrest of Fort Pillow massacre fame.
The Fort Pillow Massacre is an atrocious testament to the brutality that was the Civil War. The story goes that after the Union soldiers of the Fort surrendered, General Forrest took the 400 + of them, skinned and hung them on the walls of the Fort. it is reported that two to three hundred of them were Black. While leader of the K.K.K. many Blacks and some White Republicans were lynched side by side.
During the Reconstruction Era, many Civil Rights laws were passed by Republicans, and later repealed by Democrats. Woodrow Wilson was instrumental in repealing many of these and segregating the Federal Government. Wilson even held a viewing for the pro-K.K.K. movie "Birth of a Nation" in the White House itself!
Makes one wonder why so many Black Americans today vote Democrat. A huge change occurred under the FDR. administration. FDR was responsible for one of the biggest government power grabs in history. Over 100 new offices were created during his multiple terms in office. The "Re-distribution of wealth" here in America started with FDR's New Deal, which in essence was the beginning of paying people to vote for the Democratic party and the re-enslavement of generations of welfare recipients. Let me clarify this. Many people do not view welfare as enslavement but let me ask: if you have to rely on someone for your existence, who is that person to you? Can that person take away your way of life? You are in essence indebted to that person and if you wish for that person to continue to provide for your existence you must do as they ask, is this Freedom? Millions of Americans (all races) are in this situation. Another question for you is this: if the Government stopped taking money from those who earn it and giving it to those that expect it, what would happen? Poverty is not a comfortable place to be, except, in perspective, Americas poor tend to have T.V.s, Cars, roofs over their heads, food, and in places like Nepal, or other 3rd World countries would be considered wealthy.
"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." ~ Benjamin Franklin
I believe in helping the poor and the down trodden, however, I believe it should be me who gives my money to my fellow man in need, not the Government! I mean really? The Government put a bureaucrat in charge of an agency to divide up the hard earned tax dollars of those who earned it and distribute what's left, after they get their pay for it which gives only a percentage of that tax dollar to those in need or those playing the system. So many Millions of Americans are now very comfortable in their poverty and we have generations who know no other way to live. It is now known as the "Third Rail" of politics along with Social Security, both of these are going bankrupt, but our politicians refuse to tackle the issue. Tell the truth, COWARDS!
“Make people comfortable in poverty and then tell them that they’ll never get out and you are going to be the king of the world.” ~ Glenn Beck (sorry, I had to)
There is so much hypocrisy that comes out of the left that I could continue for 100 more pages here, but I will spare you.
I hope and pray that all of you educate yourselves, and others, about the lies that are being spread like a virus by the Liberal Progressives. Stand on the Truth. Our silence will kill our country quicker than you can imagine. Do not let them control the dialog, they don't own the truth, they barely know it! We must defeat these lying scoundrels at all cost. Make sure you get out, and get others out to vote these Betrayers of America's Allies, the American Idea, The American Constitution, The American People, and The Last Great Hope of the World; America Herself.
I am working on new stuff for our website: www.ThePeopleofLiberty.com , but please be patient, good things come to those who wait, lol.
Until Next Time,
Mike

Poverty is not a comfortable place to be, except, in perspective, Americas poor tend to have T.V.s, Cars, roofs over their heads, food, and in places like Nepal, or other 3rd World countries would be considered wealthy.
"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." ~ Benjamin Franklin
I believe in helping the poor and the down trodden, however, I believe it should be me who gives my money to my fellow man in need, not the Government! I mean really? The Government put a bureaucrat in charge of an agency to divide up the hard earned tax dollars of those who earned it and distribute what's left, after they get their pay for it which gives only a percentage of that tax dollar to those in need or those playing the system. So many Millions of Americans are now very comfortable in their poverty and we have generations who know no other way to live. It is now known as the "Third Rail" of politics along with Social Security, both of these are going bankrupt, but our politicians refuse to tackle the issue. Tell the truth, COWARDS!
“Make people comfortable in poverty and then tell them that they’ll never get out and you are going to be the king of the world.” ~ Glenn Beck (sorry, I had to)
There is so much hypocrisy that comes out of the left that I could continue for 100 more pages here, but I will spare you.
I hope and pray that all of you educate yourselves, and others, about the lies that are being spread like a virus by the Liberal Progressives. Stand on the Truth. Our silence will kill our country quicker than you can imagine. Do not let them control the dialog, they don't own the truth, they barely know it! We must defeat these lying scoundrels at all cost. Make sure you get out, and get others out to vote these Betrayers of America's Allies, the American Idea, The American Constitution, The American People, and The Last Great Hope of the World; America Herself.
I am working on new stuff for our website: www.ThePeopleofLiberty.com , but please be patient, good things come to those who wait, lol.
Until Next Time,
Mike
