Chapter 1
Liberty Movement History

The liberty movement fueled by the Ron Paul campaign in 2008, has brought a change to the political spectrum across the country and Pennsylvania.  Ron Paul spoke truth, liberty, prosperity for all American’s.  The message was clear and it was caused by  many years of corruption and greed that is now instituted into the American government.  The message far from change and reform, the message was that of a reset, time to revert back to the constitution and start fresh.

There were numerous critics that made note of Ron Paul’s message, highlighting portions to lessen credibility, but push the institution stronger.  Those critics may not have let him win the polls after debates, they may not have let him get the message out to everyone, but thanks to them the liberty movement is stronger then ever before.

Ron Paul once said that the revolution was not him, and how true he was.  Today’s liberty movement is comprised of many organizations and a new era of reporting that is only weakening the traditional papers and media outlets.  The number of organizations continue to grow with the internet backing its power.  The liberty movement is about each and every liberty supporter, lover and protector.  The revolution is all of you.

Before the revolutionary war where Patriots said enough with the taxes and fought for their liberty, they too gathered and met similar to we are today.  They had to educate people on their views of what government should be, imagine them going door to door talking liberty in today’s world.  They educated people much like we are today with the Internet, the canvassing and sign waves, the meetup’s and bringing new people in to do the same.  Without the education, the first liberty movement may not have been the success that it is.

After education they came together, united for one vision and one liberty.  A time before networking tools, restaurants and numerous other places our groups meet today.  The liberty tree was born, the liberty tree was exactly that a tree with no branches or leaves which signaled a meeting location for patriots.  When a meeting was in session a patriot climbed that tree and placed a hat on the top.  The meeting was now in session.  Today we use restaurants, library’s, hotels, meeting rooms and private households.  The meetings are different but the message is the same.

They united and the leaders organized their group and expanded and grew.  The first liberty movement wasn't built, fought or won in a day, and neither will be the today’s liberty movement.  History has a tendency to repeat itself, we all have heard that before, but in this case for liberty, there is a way it has to be completed to ensure the success and the restoration of what we are fighting for.

Today groups like the Campaign for Liberty, The 9/12 Project, Tea Party Patriots, John Birch Society and many more, promote liberty through education.  These groups are well into stage 1 of the revolution, where it goes next is up to leaders of today to come together and build together.  Stage 2 of the revolution is to unite, bring the smaller groups together and form larger groups, and combine those to make larger groups and eventually you have one group with many small pieces.  Liberty lovers have been uniting for years, even before Ron Paul, today we have a chance to move the liberty movement to the next part and become a step closer to the Liberty Revolution or stage 3.

Liberty Movement
Revolution fought for the State

Preface

Liberty Lover, Scott Davis has spent his short time working in politics focused on the education and uniting of patriots across his home state of Pennsylvania.  I have attended meetings across the state and continue to educate and push groups to work together or unite through the website PARevolution.com.  I have taken the time to share with you in writing my view’s and thoughts on the liberty movement, the American Revolution and what I call the Liberty Revolution.  Many of you have heard me discuss it at meetups, events and one on one.

The following is made public for anyone to read and share with others in its original content.  Remember, I am no different then you, and you the grassroots are the power of this country - it is time to demand it back.

Exercise your mind, body, spirt and liberty daily.

Scott Davis

The War on the State - Edition 1

In the almost 2 years that I have been a grassroots leader, I have seen all sorts of things, some amazing and some just wrong.  But in the end the vision and passion remains on the grassroots; meeting regularly in library’s, restaurants, private houses and even some public parks.  The grassroots movement was ignited by the Ron Paul for President campaign of 2008 (now the Campaign for Liberty), but has been re-lit and almost blown out a few times since then.

The liberty loving field today is crowded with the Campaign for Liberty, Glenn Beck’s 9/12 Project, Tea Party Patriots, We the People Foundation, Committees of Safety and almost monthly a new one shines to the spotlight.  Each group see’s the same goal of restoring the ideal’s of the constitution, as well as the goal of being the national dream; after that it gets fuzzy.  

Why is it so many groups are attacking the federal government when the constitution itself gives most of its powers to the state?  I hear the answer is because the federal government is overstepping the lines and so we have to attack back.  My reply simply is If we fight in the state and with our 10th amendment right refuse the national plan, isn't that a easier and bigger win?  But we don’t have the people to lead us in the state that we do at these national groups, is another one.  Very simply look at the local leaders of your groups, those who show up rain, snow or sun to promote liberty, those who educate everyone they meet and have given you the skills to do the same.  The leaders are all around us, they aren’t working for national attention, but the dream of liberty once again.

Now, I agree we need national groups to spark some fires and share ideals back and forth among states, but we need to refocus the mission to the states.  The states that in a few months will be holding state elections (lower voter turnout), get liberty lovers elected in state positions.  Turn your state into its own free state project thru education and love of liberty.  Work with all of the liberty groups and combine your efforts creating a pool of candidates across the state and win back your state.  If we all won back our state, the folks at DC would have a harder time to push their plan.  The power is within the states!

Look at your state, in Pennsylvania we have 200 State Reps, we have 50 Senators and Governor.  With low voter turnout expected in 2010 for most of these elections, why are the national groups not pushing for state reform?

I have lived this philosophy for some time now, and its just really coming out now.  In Pennsylvania we have some of the most active and liberty loving american’s around (not saying your not any less), just saying the State of Independence loves our liberty!  I set out a plan to build a network tool in Pennsylvania to unite the liberty groups, businesses, and friends and allow the communication to grow from that.  What it has become is a web-site that is overworking the server it lives on, eating resources faster then I can install, and for the ideal of restoring liberty in one state to show it can be done, and watch as others follow and the constitution is restored in the states and in DC.  PARevolution.com is all open source and could be mirrored across the country and we should be setting our sights on the state government’s that are ripe and ready for liberty reform!
