Southeast Arizona Freedom 21 Conference
We Shall Light the Fire of Freedom
We are sick to death with the power struggle between political parties, without the application of constitutional principle.
We are sick to death of law, after law, that restricts our freedom of choice, our freedom of movement, our freedom of what to buy, our freedom of what to wear, our freedom of where to live, our freedom of where to work, our freedom to live on and use our land without undue government interference and our freedom to roam freely throughout America without having to go through check points and body searches.
We are sick to death of political correctness and multi-culturalism. We are sick to death of the social and environmental propaganda being taught to our kids in public schools. We are sick to death of open borders and the millions of illegal aliens coming into this country that feed off of the government “pig trough” and take jobs away from legal Americans. We are sick to death of politicians that keep adding to that “pig trough”, or that propose and pass legislation to grant these illegal millions, unfettered amnesty so that they can remain on that “pig trough”, for which legal Americans get to pay and so that they will add votes to keep one or the other party in power.
We are sick to death of politicians making law from the wish lists of narrow-focus lobby groups, that violate our federal and state constitutions. We are sick to death of environmentalists who have taken over every level of government and lobby their radical agenda on the party that aids and abets their every whim. We are sick to death of their manufactured “the-sky-is-falling” crises, like global warming. We are sick to death of anti-American Smart Growth and Sustainable Development policies, UN’s Agenda 21 and radical environmental protection, with no clear government purpose other than to enslave us and where due process and just compensation are all but forgotten or intentionally ignored, for the effected.
We are sick to death of government trying to protect every single wetland in America, no matter what it costs the private landowner in hard dollars or lost freedoms. We are sick to death of environmentalists stopping all new oil exploration and production and all new power plant and refinery construction, except so-called renewable energy like wind and sun power, or biofuels that can only produce a very small fraction of our energy needs and have to be subsidized with our tax dollars. We are sick to death of these lobbyists using propaganda, distortions and outright lies to make us feel guilty about our life style.
We are sick to death of government meddling in free markets that only muck things up, create shortages (corn vs. ethanol) and drive up prices. We are sick to death of special interest groups using the courts and unconstitutional law to manipulate our judicial system for their own aims. We are sick to death of land use laws like the Endangered Species Act (ESA), state growth management acts and critical area ordinances that are a reckless disregard of our very foundation of property rights, freedoms and liberties, that were paid for by the blood of all of our brave men and women in uniform. We are sick to death of government negligently abusing eminent domain for their own ends.
We are sick to death of the print and electronic news media turning into the mouth-piece for the socialists, communists, radical environmentalists and the tyranny of the majority. We are sick to death of the attempts by many in government and academia to squelch our priceless individuality and meld us into a mindless collective. We are sick to death of citizens who’s only interest in Government is what they can take from it, not what they can give back to society by being a productive and responsible individual.
We are sick to death of government bureaucracies at all levels that constantly exceed their legislative limits of authority, like social agencies that waste billions of our tax dollars for handouts to people who are more than capable of taking care of themselves. We are sick to death of legislators and lawmakers who neglect their constitutional duty to make sure that bureaucracies do not exceed their authority. We are sick to death of Presidents who abuse executive orders to codify international policies into law, without congressional approval and treaty ratification. We are sick to death of the efforts by so many in government to envelop sovereign America into the North American Union or the one-world-order. We are sick to death of our hard-earned tax money being given away by the billions to our enemies and to dictators and despots, in the form of international aid where the “aid” ends up in the dictator’s pocket.
We are sick to death of some citizens of this land denigrating our war on terror, even after the unprovoked devastating attack on 9/11, while our brave men and women in uniform are in harms way and losing their lives, limbs and minds defending our freedoms. We are sick to death of the unmitigated “bull” coming out of Hollywood’s radical left wing and we are sick to death of people who tear down our country or fabricate phantom crises for their own political gain.
Legislators think they know what is best for us, but in most cases they are wrong and they constantly violate their oath of office to preserve, protect and defend both the federal and state Constitutions in passing laws “for our own so-called good, or to protect us from ourselves”. The fact is, we are sick to death of government at all levels, as it is run-amok and out of control. Government steals and wastes our money, it steals our land and it steals our freedom. Government is only about WHO WIELDS POWER, not about what is constitutionally right for its citizens. Government is all about money and remaining in office, perpetually, no matter what law they have to break, or whom they have to bribe, or whom they have to dupe.
We are sick to death of the whole mess that government has created and that way too many Americans have allowed. We were so sick to death of all these things that we formed the National Association of Rural Landowners to give us a platform from which to convey our anger and distrust of government and to alert others to what is happening to their freedom, liberty and property rights.
To our amazement, what we have found is that we are not the only ones that are sick to death and a day of reckoning is at hand. Many are restless, an uprising is fomenting and the crescendo for freedom is rising, daily. Insane energy policies, eminent domain abuses, out-of-control illegal immigration, one-world-order initiatives and draconian social and environmental regulations coming out of government, are raising the anger of millions of Americans and their anger is being manifested in protests and screaming injustice and a call for redress to lawmakers. Once this movement coalesces into a unified action, no power on earth can stop it.
As was said by Thomas Paine some 232 years ago, during our first revolution, “these are the times that try men’s souls” and we dare not stand by and do nothing, while freedom hovers on the brink of extinction. This generation’s solemn duty is to preserve, protect and defend our children’s freedom. The future of our children and our grandchildren’s freedom rests in our hands. How can we let them down and still look in the mirror with pride? How can we say that we have left the legacy of freedom for all those that follow us? Let us together, “Light the Fire of Freedom” and keep it burning in the hearts and minds of all men and women forever. Let not the difficulty of the task detour us. America is a great and a unique country. She, her people and her freedom are worth saving and worth our sacrifice.
More than at any other time in our history, we must heed the words of Daniel Webster where he said: “Miracles do not cluster. Hold on to the Constitution of the United States of America and the Republic for which it stands—what has happened once in six thousand years may never happen again. Hold on to your Constitution, for if the American Constitution shall fail there will be anarchy throughout the world.”
As anyone with any vision at all can see, anarchy is fast approaching and time is growing short.
Rest assured that for as long as blood courses through our veins, we shall light the fire of freedom all across this great land of ours with every ounce of passion, intellect, desire and intestinal fortitude that we can muster. We intend to be that new voice of liberty that was once ascribed to Thomas Paine, whose words of inspiration and wisdom gave inertia to the birth of freedom during our first Revolution. We shall not let freedom slip from our grasp without inspiring others to take up the flag of freedom, now and after we are gone. As part of that current effort, we are giving the keynote speech at the Southeast Arizona Freedom 21 Conference on August 23rd, in Benson, Arizona entitled. “Civil Liberties, Rights and Freedoms”. The conference is free. For Conference information and registration, log on to http://www.narlo.org/F21agenda1.html. It’s this coming Saturday, so if you want to come, don’t delay.
