Local meeting for Campaign For Liberty. 

Help us take back our country. 

"These are times that try men's souls.  The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country" - Thomas Paine

It's not always easy but with a little help we can accomplish this.

We ask for the attendance of all members to one planning meeting per month (We have two, sometimes three) and one social / public event. 

We are aware that family comes first and folks cannot make it to every event but we believe that as a result of our hard work now, our families will be much healthier, wealthier, and better off in the future.  We believe that this health and wealth will create an atmosphere where we can spend much more time with a renewed, prosperous family. 

Think of it as the liberty version of the national guard.  2 events per month, 2 hours per event, to make your country safe from tyranny.

Guest speaker John McCulloch ( WJR radio personality)

John intervied David Dudenhoefer last year after the liberty activist went to Lansing for the 10th amendment hearing.  It would be nice to show some C4L faces at this event.

Richard Ball and Pam Byrnes are trying to drum up support for their massive gas tax hike (8 cents per gallon on gas and 12 cents per gallon on diesel).  You can read the text of these pieces of legislation here: HB 5768 & HB 5769

They are organizing town hall meetings that will surely be packed with big government supporters to give the appearance of community support.

We must mobilize to show opposition to this tax hike.

There are three Town Hall meetings:

• Monday, February 22, 10:00 a.m. Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Texas Twp. Campus (map)

• Monday, March 8, 10:00 a.m. Northwestern Michigan College, Traverse City (map)

• Monday, March 22, 10:00 a.m. Eagle Crest Conference Center, Ypsilanti (map)

I will create a calendar Item for each meeting.

Please help spread the word.

Are you ready to affect major political change, to reclaim our natural right to our Liberty?  Are you ready to make the politicians finally listen to us, and un-do the harm they have done to us over the years?

Of course you are.  We all are. 

But guess what: the politicians see us coming.  They know how to deal with people like us.  They don't want to give in to people like us.  They know how to confuse you, discourage you, make you waste your time, make you go away, and if all else fails, buy you off.

Effective political mobilization is not taught at major universities.  It is not taught at think tanks, it is not taught at mass demonstrations, and it is rarely even taught by grassroots organizations, who for the most part only expect their members to send letters to legislators and send them money.

It is not taught because the political class doesn't want people to know it.

At the Campaign For Liberty Midwest Leadership Conference, you will learn:

• What does and does not motivate politicians to fear and respect you
• How mass movements fail, and why
• Access-based lobbying versus confrontational lobbying
• Putting power behind your words on Election Day
• How to choose battles that will grow your organization
• How to pass and defeat legislation
• How to target legislators who vote against you, and which to go after first
• How to grow your organization and develop your data resources
• How to raise the money you need to be effective

Michigan's Representatives Vote on Afghan War: Stupak Only One to Come Through Posted by Adam de Angeli Posted 03/14/10 In a rare up-or-down vote on the war and occupation of Afghanistan, Congress voted overwhelmningly to continue the carnage of the occupation of Afghanistan.  Thousands of lives, thrown away to occupy a foreign nation that never did anything to harm America.  The rogues who attacked us were all killed, captured, or fled the country. Of our 15 representatives, only Bart Stupak, representing the 1st (Upper Peninula and eastern lower peninsula down to Bay City), voted to bring the troops home.  But before you get too excited, keep in mind that Stupak still voted wrong on every vote we noted, including several war spending bills. While most of Michigan's Democrat and Republican representatives have been consistent supporters of the warfare state, it was notable that John Conyers chose not to vote.  Perhaps no other Congressman has paid so much lip service to the anti-war movement and done so little.  Both freshman democrats Mark Schauer and Gary Peters voted for the war, and just about every other big-government bill they could.  So much for "throwing the bums out." Silver lining to a terrible vote: tremendous speeches by Dr. Paul, Alan Grayson, and John Duncan. Categories: Republican Party, Democratic Party, Current Events, War/Military, Congress Tags:
