Take The Power Back

From Liberty Voice enjoy!


 
Welcome to the first installment of "Take the Power Back: 7 Simple Things You Can Do To Reclaim Your Voice and Restore the Republic!"
 
Have you ever felt that the problems facing us in this country are so vast, so numerous, and so overwhelming that there is almost nothing we can do?  I have.
 
Elections come around every two years, and we get a chance to "vote the bums out."  But usually, we have to replace them with another set of bums.  Any changes that occur at the federal level will only happen slowly, and over time, if ever.  
 
Political action by itself is not enough without education.  Our government schools have dumbed us down over several generations.  The battle for change must be a two-fisted fight that involves both Education and Action.
 
Ideally, if we can find a way to combine our Education and Activism, the more effective we will be.  It's my desire to give you tools to accomplish that mission.
 
So, here are the first of 7 simple ideas that you can use TODAY to influence and impact other people with the message of freedom and liberty.  There is nothing Earth shattering here.  No proprietary information.  Just tools that people have used or are using to change people's minds, which ultimately changes society.
 
Simple Strategy #1: Bumper Sticker Evangelism.
A no-brainer.  But think about it.  How many time have you seen a bumper sticker that sticks with you?  Not literally :) But the message stays in your mind.  The truth is, you may not always know if the message stuck, because it lodges itself in your subconscious.
 
Bumper stickers can accomplish several things:
1. Expose new people to a new message.  People you will never meet, and you will never see again, see your message.  You are forcing it into their minds...but in a nice way.  Do you realize how powerful that is?  They may disagree with you, and even get mad at you.  You might even get the single-finger salute if you happen to drive in front of the wrong person.  But you have planted a powerful seed that they may not be able to get out of their minds.
 
2. Reinforce a familiar message.  Marketing experts say it takes a minimum of seven exposures to a message before someone will take action.  I think the number is much higher.  Especially today, we are literally bombarded with messages from everywhere, at all times.  Most of us have learned to tune out the noise.  Your bumper sticker may be the sixth or seventh touch for someone.  It may be what causes them to make the shift to your point of view.  In this case, you get to water the seed that someone else planted.  
 
3. Encouragement.  It's lonely business being a freedom fighter!  Let me tell you from personal experience, it feels great to see another motorist trucking down the freeway with a bumper sticker that makes me say "Amen!"  It's encouraging to we see other people speaking the same message. 
 
Bumper stickers: Not just for bumpers anymore!
So, what exactly should you do with the bumper sticker?  Put it on your bumper of course!
 
Seriously, the bumper of your car is just one place you can put the sticker.  Why not try this:
 
1) Get some magnetic backing from the local hardware store, and putting the sticker on the magnet.  
2) Cut the magnet to size.  
3) Put the magnet on the rear-facing trunk lid, or on your truck tailgate.
 
Do this for a wide selection of stickers, and you can turn your car into a rotating billboard with different messages every week...or every day!
 
This is also great for those of you with a nice, expensive ride...you don;t want to get that gooey adhesive on it, do you?
 
You might be asking "Where's the best place to get bumper stickers?"  I recommend getting them from my good friend Rick McGinnis here in Austin, TX.  Check out his website: www.libertystickers.com!
 
Well, until tomorrow, keep fighting the good fight for freedom!
 
In Liberty,
 
Jason Rink

Protest against County Commission against Permit for protest

Selected By: Mark Pilling
115 S. Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL (map)
Selected By: Mark Pilling
The Broward County Commission is meeting November 8th to discuss a proposal from the County Administrator, Bertha Henry, to start requiring a permit in order to engage in free speech on County property. Under the proposed restrictions, in order to engage in speech on Broward County property you will have to obtain a permit 3 days in advance. You may not engage in more than 5 days of continuous activity. No tents or sound amplification devices. So far no specific time has been announced for when the commissioners will vote on enacting the permit requirement for free speech. We need people to show up for the hearing so that this does not become a law.

Ron Paul's Free Competition in Currency Act.


Quote of the Day: "Congressional oversight of the Fed amounts to about twelve hours of hearings per year, and that's as far as it goes. Of those twelve hours, no more than five or ten minutes goes to any one Congressman, who has the opportunity to ask at most one question of Chairman Bernanke every six months. To claim that this is effective oversight is laughable." - Rep. Ron Paul
Ron Paul began hearings about Federal Reserve transparency on Tuesday, October 4. We agree with Congressman Paul -- the Fed is unconstitutional. It should be abolished. Barring that, it must at least be audited.
This is why I sent the following letter to my elected representatives. You may copy it or borrow form it to send a letter of your own.
I support Federal Reserve transparency. I think the Free Competition in Currency act is the best way to achieve that. Here's why . . .
Let Americans choose what they want to use for money -- gold, silver, or some other form of currency. Then the Federal Reserve will then have to compete to get people to use Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs).
Competition will require the Fed to become transparent. No consumer will consent to use FRNs if the Fed won't consent to be audited. How else could a consumer know the value of an FRN? Only an audit could verify the number of FRNs the Fed is creating.
This new competition-induced transparency will also force the Fed to stop inflating the number of FRNs. The Fed's legalized counterfeiting will end. And if the Fed doesn't stop, then it will end, as companies with bad products always do.
For ten years Congress has imposed privacy-destroying legislation on the American people, saying, "If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide." Well, shouldn't that rule apply to the Fed?
If it has nothing to hide, then it should submit to a thorough audit.
I don't want you to exercise political influence over the Fed. And I certainly don't want to abolish the Fed if it means having an identical monetary monopoly run by the Treasury Department. Instead . . .
I want to choose what I will use as currency, free from coercion.
I want to make the Fed transparent and accountable, by making it compete.
Please co-sponsor the Free Competition in Currency Act.
