FreedomList: In Search of Representatives of Liberty
Posted July 8th, 2007 by Likkerish
Not only do "We the People" need President Ron Paul to take the oath of office in January 2009, we also need to draw leaders from our midst to go to Washington with him as representatives of Liberty, if not as elected representatives, then as a voluntary Liberty Corps to assist in the restoration of the Constitution to its rightful place in our society. Such grassroots selected leaders, working hand-in-hand with a President Paul, will be critically necessary for bringing this country back on course to the noble destination that the Founding Fathers intended.
The Ron Paul Revolution is giving us this opportunity to focus, not just on the presidential election campaign, but on our full responsibilities as citizens. If we intend to restore the Republic, I suggest that it is imperative that we begin to plan now for the election, not just of Dr. Ron Paul, but also for the election to office of liberty-minded people, en masse all across the country, at every level.
We need a new kind of activism as desperately as we need a new President in the White House! We must do more. We cannot leave the other bases uncovered. We cannot put him in Washington V.C. (Vampire City) as our President to face the elitist vampires alone. We simply cannot!
As a ten-term congressman, he is certainly accustomed to being a lone voice crying in the wilderness. However, as President, he would be the target of all the venom which the elitists could muster.
I can never forget the image of Dr. Paul standing alone on the stage at the New Hampshire debate pleading with the television audience regarding the specter of a potential nuclear holocaust beginning in the Middle East, saying:
“Tonight we hear that we are not even willing to remove from the table a pre-emptive nuclear strike against a country that has done no harm to us directly and is no threat to our national security….We have to come to our senses...about this issue of war and pre-emption and go back to traditions and our constitution and defend our liberties and defend our rights, but not to think that we can change the world by force of arms and start wars" (emphasis added).
Ron Paul and those who come to lead after him will need our dedicated, proximal assistance in order to expose the secret, elitist-controlled government and its attendant evils. A great many of us must get active...even more active than any of us has, perhaps, ever imagined. The future of the Republic and the world hangs in the balance.
Accordingly, I am inviting everyone to start seeking out potential candidates and prospective members of our Liberty Corps and listing their names here. I also would like to suggest that someone think about how we could create a data base to which individuals could directly add names to a growing list, much like names are added to online petitions, rather than the names showing up only in separate comments to this post.
