We have little time to reclaim our Republic and Restore our Constitution.  However, I believe that ‘WE ARE THE GENERATION’ that will be successful in returning our great country to its founding principles of a constitutional limited government, individual liberty, sound money, free markets, and a noninterventionist foreign policy.  If our nation is to continue as a sovereign, independent entity, we MUST be successful.  Failure is not an option.  Our children and grandchildren are depending on our success.  If we fail, our children will become slaves, driven by the evil and sinister taskmasters (aka, elitists/establishment) who do not have our children’s best interest at heart.  In fact, the establishment has no heart.  There is no way the establishment is going to suddenly grow a heart, so they must be soundly defeated in every single election and never be allowed back in politics or positions of power ever again.

We must be good parents and make our stand right now, or our children and grandchildren will be chained later.  At every turn, we must have a presence, letting our current politicians know that we aim to vote their lousy keister’s out of office, one by one, and replace them with sound, principled men and women who will take their oaths of office seriously, and reflect that solemn oath through their voting records.  If there’s anyone in Congress that needs to be emulated, it is Congressman Ron Paul.  For years Congressman Paul has bravely stood tall, held his head up high, and preached the value and importance of the Constitution, much to the disdain of those with ulterior motives or personal, anti-American, and unconstitutional agendas.  If I were to have a hero, it would have to be Congressman Paul.  He’s my hero, my president, and my brother in Christ.

In light of our recent successes, and the fact that there can be no middle ground when it comes to the Constitution and the salvation of our country, there are several principled men and women who have stepped up to the frontlines of the battle, prepared to run for office or in preparation mode.  Principled people like RJ Harris (OK), Mike Vasovski (SC), Paul Lambert (AL), Rand Paul (KY), Peter Schiff (CT), Deb Medina (TX), and Adam Kokesh (NM).  I know there are others, testing the waters, getting their armor on, and preparing for the tough battles that lie ahead.  However, each person that I listed, and those I didn’t, must have our support, or the battle will be over before it starts.  Our country is hanging by a fractured thread, brought upon us by worthless, scrupulous men and women in positions of power, who care not about your opinions or their constituents.  It’s time to change that.  We ARE the generation that will bring REAL change!

As Arkansas Campaign for Liberty State Coordinator, I cannot put on my Campaign for Liberty hat and endorse either one of the candidates I listed above.  However, as a private citizen, I can tell you without a doubt that I support those who I have named.  We MUST get behind these people in any and every way we can.  Financially, boots on the ground; whatever your talent, they’ll need it.  The opposition is already gearing up, ‘pretending’ that they are concerned about our economy, the Constitution, and as frustrated as you are; so they claim.  However, I feel obligated to remind you that their charming words are just to get your vote to keep the heartless, gloated establishment in power.  Campaign rhetoric, feel good talk, designed to get you all bubbly, tingly, and warm inside.  But my grandfather, a decorated WW II, Korea, and Vietnam veteran, and a huge fan of Ron Paul, taught me long ago that if you talk the talk, you better walk the walk.  He also taught me that Freedom isn’t free and that we are to remain sober and vigilant so that we can be in a better position of awareness when it comes to voting records, especially at election time.  And it’s getting close to that time.

In light of this, and the fact that we do have principled people readying for the fight for freedom, I’ve included links to radio interviews I’ve personally had with several of the candidates or expected candidates.  You can listen online or download the interviews to your ipod.  And remember, freedom isn’t free, though it should be.  So do your utmost, absolute best to help out as much as you can.  Place their website links on your websites, help spread the word that the “Constitutionalists are Coming!  If you click on their name, it will take you to their campaign or exploratory committee website.  To hear the interview, click on the interview link.

Again, we are the generation that will Reclaim our Republic and Restore our Constitution.  With your help, each of the candidates will have a fighting chance.

Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow patriots and Arkansans:

We've got our marching orders straight from the Campaign for Liberty.

Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill, HR 1207, is suddenly up to 91 cosponsors and the Campaign for Liberty wants a full-court press to bring in the rest. On Tuesday, April 28, the 47,000+ petitions (a combined nation-wide total) that we signed electronically on the C4L website will be hand delivered to our representatives by C4L volunteers in Washington.

To coincide with the hand deliveries of HR 1207 petitions in Washington, D.C.; we the people of Arkansas, on the same day, will hand deliver as many signed petitions as possible from our friends and neighbors to the district offices of the representatives who have not yet cosponsored the bill. So far, ALL FOUR Congressmen from Arkansas have NOT yet cosponsored the legislation.

Here's what YOU need to do:

* Print out your customized HR 1207 Petition. I have created some petition pages that you are free to download, print out, and use.

4th District- http://www.campaignforliberty.com/usa/AR/4thdistrictpetition.pdf

3rd District - http://www.campaignforliberty.com/usa/AR/3rddistrictpetition.pdf

2nd District- http://www.campaignforliberty.com/usa/AR/2nddistrictpetition.pdf

1st District- http://www.campaignforliberty.com/usa/AR/1stdistrictpetition.pdf

* Collect as many signatures as possible today through Monday. Take your petitions to the parking lots of large stores in the district, to local gatherings, to popular parks, or door-to-door.  If you are going to an End the Fed Rally on April 25, take along a bunch of petitions to give to the other demonstrators.

* Try to get as many people in your district to go with you and personally deliver your signed petitions to your representative's local office on Tuesday (addresses listed below). Have a friend document the delivery on video and with photographs. Even a small handful of petitions, personally delivered, will have a HUGE impact.

* If you can, upload the video to YouTube and post an entry with your images and video links on your Campaign for Liberty blog!

Tuesday won't be the last day we do this. The following month we will collect even more signatures to hand deliver. And then the next month, and the month after, until they cosponsor HR 1207.

Address of Congressmen: Use the location nearest you. Call their office to find out their hours of operation.

Yes, this is a massive, but necessary undertaking. It will take every ounce of strength we can muster. But we peaceful liberty lovers, patriots, have moved mountains before, and we will move many more before we can rest secure in our liberty.

Let's do this! THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW!

Yours in Peace and Liberty,
Caleb Kinley
Interim State Coordinator
Campaign for Liberty

Unclassified but Freedom Lovers Sensitive

Left-wing Progressive Extremism Rising: Current cause of Economic failure and Inept Self-Interest Seeking Anti-American Politicians/Traitors Fueling Resurgence in Socialist and Communist Radicalization and Recruitment

There’s been a recent rise in risk for terror that could possibly be committed by the left-wing progressive extremists, anti-American, un-American, new world order socialist who have basically hijacked our country and are now nothing more than federal reserve cartel note thieves and usurpers.  We would refer to the fiat federal reserve notes as money, but that would be a tall, laughable tale that only the ignorant would believe.  Only the left-wing progressive extremist believes that bologna…still.

Threats from left-wing progressive nut job supercommunist and violent anti-constitutional, anti-American groups during 2009 have been mostly rhetorical and they have not yet told us all their plans.  But that’s okay, we already know their game plan.  They have seized the White House, the Senate, and the Congress.  Only a few Congressmen were smart enough to escape the coup d’etat by the left wing progressive extremeists nut jobs now posing as politicians.  We’ve witnessed history firsthand through personal pain and suffering and from taking the time to read ‘accurate’ history books, economic books, and books about our founding fathers.  The consequence of the deliberate prolonged economic downturn by the left- wing progressive extremists (and the prior Bush regime)– including their seizures of homes, jobs, property, and home gardens, could create a fertile recruiting environment for more left -wing progressive extremists that want wealth redistribution and our vegetables, and may even result in confrontations between such Un-American groups and those who are real American’s that believe in a constitutionally limited government, sound money, free markets, individual liberty, a noninterventionist foreign policy, and a right to plant their own vegetable and herb garden with no more taxation .

The left-wing progressive extremists groups, movements and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of the U.S. Constitution, U.S. Sovereignty and Independence, States Rights, Bill of Rights, anyone religious, anyone who supports life and liberty, anyone who served honorably in the military, and anyone who clings to their guns based upon the 2^nd amendment, and those that are Pro-American, because we FLAT OUT reject the expansion of left-wing progressive socialist new world order extremists power in favor of a sound, Constitutional government that doesn’t steal through taxation or wealth redistribution.

The left- wing progressive extremists groups and new world order socialist politicians fear the return of brave U.S. Soldiers because the soldiers swore on oath to the U.S. Constitution and to the people the U.S. Constitution represents.  Watch for the left-wing progressive extremists to increase spying on our returning soldiers through warrantless wiretaps, illegal searches and seizures, and the reading of the soldier’s personal emails and snail mail.  We already know why the left-wing progressive extremists nut jobs are keeping our brave soldiers and military equipment far from home in dangerous war zones after promising to bring them home in the 2008 Presidential campaign.  They know the U.S. Soldiers are lean, mean, fighting machines that love the U.S. Constitution and the American people.  The soldiers love, honor, and respect the Constitution and it’s their duty to protect and defend the Constitution and the Constitutional loving people, and America; which threatens the left-wing progressive extremists agenda of handing over U.S. Sovereignty and independence in hopes of turning America into another failed socialist country like France.  To help identify the left-wing progressive extremists nut jobs, please refer to the list.

*Firearms and ammunition restrictions

*Open borders

*Love the Policies of any President (white or black) who promotes open borders and instant citizenship for illegal aliens

*Wealth redistribution through an expansion of social programs via taxation without representation

*Increased free trade agreements to keep our unemployment statistics up

*Paranoid and hatred of the U.S. Constitution

*Scared of a little old lady with a Bible

*Pro One World Government via a new world order

*Pro United Nations

*Pro fake money company; the Federal Reserve Cartel

*Pro Theft

*Un-American

*Anti-American

*Anti Family

*Anti-Homeschool

The moral of this story is that it's now time to not only End the FED, but to also End the DHS.  You can easily see from an earlier report how easy it is for the MIAC and DHS, along with their left-wing extremist "fusion" centers to label any political group or individual who does not agree with their unconstitutional usurpation as threats to the general public.  What a political tool they have both become.  Perhaps the recent reports by law enforcement agencies were meant to scare honest, law abiding citizens from becoming part of any movement that questioned the federal governments unconstitutional, reckless power grab.  Contrary to what the majority of MSM reported of the tea parties, we the people gathered in perfect agreement, and political party of tea'd off attendee's mattered not.  At our local tea party, tea'd off gatherers of mixed race consisted of at least five different political parties, including the Constitution Party, the Green Party, and the Libertarian Party.  Not to mention a number of Democrats and Republicans.  I seen parked vehicles with McCain/Palin bumper stickers, Obama/Biden bumper stickers, Chuck Baldwin bumper stickers, an old Bush/Cheney sticker, and not surprisingly, a few Ron Paul stickers that were not attached to my own vehicle.

America is at a crossroads.  There's no doubt about it.  The choices we have are limited, but we can peacefully and successfully work with what we do have....OUR voice.  Not the plural form, 'voices', but rather the singular form, as in 'ONE' cohesive voice.  A band of brothers and sisters if you will; if only for one brief moment in history.  However brief or extended the cohesiveness last is up to each individual.  And once we each learn to put party name and party loyalty in the trash where it belongs and begin to vote solely upon principle and character,  that's when we'll be unstoppable.

get rid of the electorial college, count EVERY VOTE, and go from there.. I do agree that we need to abolish the so-called party system..DO NOT vote along party lines, BUT WITH YOUR OWN MIND AND HEART...TRB

Looking around for Ron Paul statements on the Economy (among other things), I ran across this priceless gem. I've read it before, but reading it a second time was worth the time for me so I decided to post it here. I hope it's worth your time to read or re-read. Too bad the D.C. politicians don't heed the warnings from Congressman Paul.

Statement: "Something Big is Happening"

9 July 2008

Rep. Ron Paul, M.D.

Madam Speaker, I have, for the past 35 years, expressed my grave concern for the future of America . The course we have taken over the past century has threatened our liberties, security and prosperity. In spite of these long-held concerns, I have days--growing more frequent all the time--when I'm convinced the time is now upon us that some Big Events are about to occur. These fast-approaching events will not go unnoticed. They will affect all of us. They will not be limited to just some areas of our country. The world economy and political system will share in the chaos about to be unleashed.

Though the world has long suffered from the senselessness of wars that should have been avoided, my greatest fear is that the course on which we find ourselves will bring even greater conflict and economic suffering to the innocent people of the world--unless we quickly change our ways.

America , with her traditions of free markets and property rights, led the way toward great wealth and progress throughout the world as well as at home. Since we have lost our confidence in the principles of liberty, self reliance, hard work and frugality, and instead took on empire building, financed through inflation and debt, all this has changed. This is indeed frightening and an historic event.

The problem we face is not new in history. Authoritarianism has been around a long time. For centuries, inflation and debt have been used by tyrants to hold power, promote aggression, and provide “bread and circuses” for the people. The notion that a country can afford “guns and butter” with no significant penalty existed even before the 1960s when it became a popular slogan. It was then, though, we were told the Vietnam War and the massive expansion of the welfare state were not problems. The seventies proved that assumption wrong.

Today things are different from even ancient times or the 1970s. There is something to the argument that we are now a global economy. The world has more people and is more integrated due to modern technology, communications, and travel. If modern technology had been used to promote the ideas of liberty, free markets, sound money and trade, it would have ushered in a new golden age--a globalism we could accept.

Instead, the wealth and freedom we now enjoy are shrinking and rest upon a fragile philosophic infrastructure. It is not unlike the levies and bridges in our own country that our system of war and welfare has caused us to ignore.

I'm fearful that my concerns have been legitimate and may even be worse than I first thought. They are now at our doorstep. Time is short for making a course correction before this grand experiment in liberty goes into deep hibernation.

There are reasons to believe this coming crisis is different and bigger than the world has ever experienced. Instead of using globalism in a positive fashion, it's been used to globalize all of the mistakes of the politicians, bureaucrats and central bankers.

Being an unchallenged sole superpower was never accepted by us with a sense of humility and respect. Our arrogance and aggressiveness have been used to promote a world empire backed by the most powerful army of history. This type of globalist intervention creates problems for all citizens of the world and fails to contribute to the well-being of the world's populations. Just think how our personal liberties have been trashed here at home in the last decade.

The financial crisis, still in its early stages, is apparent to everyone: gasoline prices over $4 a gallon; skyrocketing education and medical-care costs; the collapse of the housing bubble; the bursting of the NASDAQ bubble; stock markets plunging; unemployment rising; massive underemployment; excessive government debt; and unmanageable personal debt. Little doubt exists as to whether we'll get stagflation. The question that will soon be asked is: When will the stagflation become an inflationary depression?

There are various reasons that the world economy has been globalized and the problems we face are worldwide. We cannot understand what we're facing without understanding fiat money and the long-developing dollar bubble.

There were several stages. From the inception of the Federal Reserve System in 1913 to 1933, the Central Bank established itself as the official dollar manager. By 1933, Americans could no longer own gold, thus removing restraint on the Federal Reserve to inflate for war and welfare.

By 1945, further restraints were removed by creating the Bretton-Woods Monetary System making the dollar the reserve currency of the world. This system lasted up until 1971. During the period between 1945 and 1971, some restraints on the Fed remained in place. Foreigners, but not Americans, could convert dollars to gold at $35 an ounce. Due to the excessive dollars being created, that system came to an end in 1971.

It's the post Bretton-Woods system that was responsible for globalizing inflation and markets and for generating a gigantic worldwide dollar bubble. That bubble is now bursting, and we're seeing what it's like to suffer the consequences of the many previous economic errors.

Ironically in these past 35 years, we have benefited from this very flawed system. Because the world accepted dollars as if they were gold, we only had to counterfeit more dollars, spend them overseas (indirectly encouraging our jobs to go overseas as well) and enjoy unearned prosperity. Those who took our dollars and gave us goods and services were only too anxious to loan those dollars back to us. This allowed us to export our inflation and delay the consequences we now are starting to see.

But it was never destined to last, and now we have to pay the piper. Our huge foreign debt must be paid or liquidated. Our entitlements are coming due just as the world has become more reluctant to hold dollars. The consequence of that decision is price inflation in this country--and that's what we are witnessing today. Already price inflation overseas is even higher than here at home as a consequence of foreign central banks' willingness to monetize our debt.

Printing dollars over long periods of time may not immediately push prices up--yet in time it always does. Now we're seeing catch-up for past inflating of the monetary supply. As bad as it is today with $4 a gallon gasoline, this is just the beginning. It's a gross distraction to hound away at “drill, drill, drill” as a solution to the dollar crisis and high gasoline prices. Its okay to let the market increase supplies and drill, but that issue is a gross distraction from the sins of deficits and Federal Reserve monetary shenanigans.

This bubble is different and bigger for another reason. The central banks of the world secretly collude to centrally plan the world economy. I'm convinced that agreements among central banks to “monetize” U.S. debt these past 15 years have existed, although secretly and out of the reach of any oversight of anyone--especially the U.S. Congress that doesn't care, or just flat doesn't understand. As this “gift” to us comes to an end, our problems worsen. The central banks and the various governments are very powerful, but eventually the markets overwhelm when the people who get stuck holding the bag (of bad dollars) catch on and spend the dollars into the economy with emotional zeal, thus igniting inflationary fever.

This time--since there are so many dollars and so many countries involved--the Fed has been able to “paper” over every approaching crisis for the past 15 years, especially with Alan Greenspan as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, which has allowed the bubble to become history's greatest.

The mistakes made with excessive credit at artificially low rates are huge, and the market is demanding a correction. This involves excessive debt, misdirected investments, over-investments, and all the other problems caused by the government when spending the money they should never have had. Foreign militarism, welfare handouts and $80 trillion entitlement promises are all coming to an end. We don't have the money or the wealth-creating capacity to catch up and care for all the needs that now exist because we rejected the market economy, sound money, self reliance and the principles of liberty.

Since the correction of all this misallocation of resources is necessary and must come, one can look for some good that may come as this “Big Event” unfolds.

There are two choices that people can make. The one choice that is unavailable to us is to limp along with the status quo and prop up the system with more debt, inflation and lies. That won't happen.

One of the two choices, and the one chosen so often by government in the past is that of rejecting the principles of liberty and resorting to even bigger and more authoritarian government. Some argue that giving dictatorial powers to the President, just as we have allowed him to run the American empire, is what we should do.  That's the great danger, and in this post-911 atmosphere, too many Americans are seeking safety over freedom. We have already lost too many of our personal liberties already. Real fear of economic collapse could prompt central planners to act to such a degree that the New Deal of the 30's might look like Jefferson 's Declaration of Independence.

The more the government is allowed to do in taking over and running the economy, the deeper the depression gets and the longer it lasts. That was the story of the 30s and the early 40s, and the same mistakes are likely to be made again if we do not wake up.

But the good news is that it need not be so bad if we do the right thing. I saw “Something Big” happening in the past 18 months on the campaign trail. I was encouraged that we are capable of waking up and doing the right thing. I have literally met thousands of high school and college kids who are quite willing to accept the challenge and responsibility of a free society and reject the cradle-to-grave welfare that is promised them by so many do-good politicians.

If more hear the message of liberty, more will join in this effort. The failure of our foreign policy, welfare system, and monetary policies and virtually all government solutions are so readily apparent, it doesn't take that much convincing. But the positive message of how freedom works and why it's possible is what is urgently needed.

One of the best parts of accepting self reliance in a free society is that true personal satisfaction with one's own life can be achieved. This doesn't happen when the government assumes the role of guardian, parent or provider, because it eliminates a sense of pride. But the real problem is the government can't provide the safety and economic security that it claims. The so called good that government claims it can deliver is always achieved at the expense of someone else's freedom. It's a failed system and the young people know it.

Restoring a free society doesn't eliminate the need to get our house in order and to pay for the extravagant spending. But the pain would not be long-lasting if we did the right things, and best of all the empire would have to end for financial reasons. Our wars would stop, the attack on civil liberties would cease, and prosperity would return. The choices are clear: it shouldn't be difficult, but the big event now unfolding gives us a great opportunity to reverse the tide and resume the truly great American Revolution started in 1776. Opportunity knocks in spite of the urgency and the dangers we face.

Let's make “Something Big Is Happening” be the discovery that freedom works and is popular and the big economic and political event we're witnessing is a blessing in disguise.
