A Plan For Liberty by Eric Cadeau
Strength does not comerom physical capacity. It comes rom an indomitablewill.
-Mahatma GandhiIn 2009 we ound ourvoice, we practiced civildisobedience, and we or-ganized our communities.And although our efortsmade only a small impres-sion on our detached rep-resentatives in Congress,this movement has begunto energize the nation.We must continue ourendeavor with the knowl-edge that the principleso liberty and reedom arerising in the esteem o thecommon individual, andthat the reckless spend-thrit ways o our gitingrepresentatives are nowbeing related to moral andnancial bankruptcy.Let us seize this opportu-nity in 2010, recalling thewords o Edward EverettHale.
“I am the only one, but I amone. I cannot do every-thing, but I can do some-thing. And because I can-not do everything, I will not reuse to do the somethingthat I can do. What I cando, I should do and what I should do, by the Grace o God, I will do.”
Remember that ourounding athers ex-hausted their time, theirtalents, and their energies;they risked their ortunesand their lives to ensuresubsequent generations’reedom and prosperity.Know that we go orthwith a plan, identiy thethings that you can do,and God willing, do them.
Step One
:Set the tone o your community.Write a letter to the editoro your local newspaper.Organize your eforts sothat you may take turns,with each member writingweekly, which will relieveyou o constant burdenand yet still constantlyremind the citizens o your community o theprinciples o limited gov-ernment, sound monetarypolicy, personal liberties,and a strict constitutionaladherence. This is the single mostimportant thing thatyou can do. Bart Stupak has repeatedly repliedto letters to the editor inhis district. Use his ownwords and unprincipledarguments against him.Do this continuously untilNovember 2010.Note: My local newspaperwould not publish someo my eforts; thereoreI ound it useul andrewarding to submit tothe ollowing newspaper’swebsites.http://www.miningjour-nal.net" www.miningjour-nal.net (Look under theheader “Submit News”)http://www.miningga-zette.com" www.mining-gazette.comhttp://www.dailypress.net" www.dailypress.nethttp://www.ironmoun-taindailynews.com" www.ironmountaindailynews.comhttp://www.thealpen-anews.com" www.theal-penanews.com
Step Two:
The Tea PartyOrganizations will orga-nize.Now that each communityhas organized, the entire1st Congressional District(31 Counties) is organiz-ing the Tea Party groupsto ally under a commoncause. On January 30th o this month, every known Tea Party organization inMichigan’s 1st Congres-sional District will conveneupon St. Ignace to prepareor the upcoming electionyear. The meeting will beheld at the Quality Inn(located near the Big Boyrestaurant) at 2:00 P.M. Allmembers o the publicare welcome, no politicalparty or candidate solicita-tions will be allowed.I urge you to become asdeeply involved in your lo-cal Tea Party group as pos-sible this year. And whenyou are not putting on arally in your community,please travel to adjacentcommunities and supporttheir rallies.
Step Three:
Identiy andsupport liberty candi-dates. All o our grievanc-es would dissolve rapidlyi we had good represen-tation in Washington. Thereore all o our efortsshould be placed behinda good candidate once wend that the spirit o ourmovement resides withinone o them.
Step Four:
Do all that youcan. I have listed only thebarest o essential tasksthat we must accomplishthis next year. Writingmust not be under-stated. The populationreceives too much pro-paganda and it is in greatneed o sound principledarguments to change thepriorities o this country.By our writing we will es-tablish the correct rameo mind o the populationto want, and to need thechange that our candi-date efects. Write, write,and write, so that those o us who are writing are notseen as isolated radicals.Beyond this, please useyour imagination- get onthe radio, hold marches,meet with college politi-cal organizations, meetwith community orga-nizations (like the Lions,Kiwanis, Eagles, Elks,American Legion, etcet-era), spread our messagear and wide and make itas public as you can.Become involved in yourlocal political party. Itdoesn’t matter whichparty you choose, bothseverely need ideas andleadership riendly to-wards liberty.
The job o civil resis-tance is to orce a reac-tion. We must provoke,provoke and provokeuntil we orce the reac-tion we are seekingrom this government.Do this in 2010.
