Over the course of our lifetimes thought past and present, as Americans of all colors or creeds, immigrant or natural born, we have fought hard to make this country the great nation that it is. Regardless of our situation at our present time, we are obligated as citizens to do our part in carrying forth the torch of liberty, justice, compassion and hard work. How do we maintain and grow those fundamental freedoms? We do it by participating and becoming active citizens and advocates of the message the Founding Fathers first penned in the Declaration of Independence.
“…to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
The course we are taking as individuals looking for independence is not an easy course to take. We can however rest assured that the trail has been paved for us by incredible individuals who set on this course ages before the Fathers even set pen to paper in writing the Declaration of Independence. We owe it to those people to get off our chairs, to take the talks further than the kitchen table, and to stop yelling at the television and doing something about it.
The fight for freedom has little to do with red or blue, left or right. It is a matter of knowing in our hearts what is right or wrong, just or unjust.
Many of you are becoming aware that there is a place for you in this “revolution”. Is a revolution a grand affair that seals itself into the history books? No, a revolution is merely and simply a change. We experience a revolution every time we have an election. Be it a major presidential election, congressional, state or city. Each and every one of those revolutions generates a result for good, bad or nothing at all.
When we as a people choose to not become involved in this revolution because it is easier to just do the day to day to pay the bills is much easier, then we wake up one day and realize someone else has been making the decisions for us.
The Founding Fathers had revelation, foresight and common sense…
…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.
Shall we remain accustomed? Shall we let the line be drawn further and further?
We must, we cannot let government do it for us. We must not let government speak to us, they must speak FOR us. Remember, government figures are nothing more than flesh and blood. We have the power to make our voices heard. However, you have to want to make it be heard.
I am here because I want not only my voice heard, but yours as well. Let’s fight the fight, let’s bring our freedoms back, and let’s make our Founding Fathers proud. I pray that you will join the fight in all and any way you can.

What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

MA is the first of all the battles. Let it be know and let congress see just how popular their socialist ways are with real Americans. There is a message in the movement, don't skip over.
And I want to add, and this is most important;
Michael Steele, this message is aimed just as much at YOU as it is the democrats. We highly recommend you get the message loud and clear. Your time is short.
locked and loaded but not a handgun
A brand new member, who apparently is, or is shilling for, an aspiring politician.
Gotta see a LOT more before I'm buying into it.

It is nice to read something written by someone who has some poetry in their soul and a love of country.
