Grassroots Heroes Among Us - See How a Few Minutes of Activism a Day is Having a BIG Impact

Think 5 minutes of activism a day can't make a difference? See what these people are doing that is having a big impact:

These are just a FEW of the creative/effective things you guys are doing - If you or someone you know is doing something cool to make a difference, please post a comment here and let us know!

From @jhonsun on twitter:
This isn't a huge feat to audit the Fed, but today I sent a tweet to @shockozulu that contained the video link to 'Fed Under Fire' on the Campaign For Liberty website and he retweeted it to his 17,000+ followers.

@shockozulu is the twitter account of actor John Cusak - who, by his tweets, is a fan of Paul Krugman & nationalized health care. He has also recently expressed his disdain for Goldman Sachs and had tweeted an article from the NYT that accused them of orchestrating every major economic recession/depression. Hmmm...interesting. I sent a previous tweet suggesting the Fed had the ultimate responsibility in that but here was the tweet that got his attention:

"@shockozulu Pelosi, Frank, Kucinich, Grayson, & Kanjorski question the Federal Reserve & their ties to Wall St. banks: http://bit.ly/lgfXS"

After retweeting, he responded:

"@jhonsun i have met alan grayson__ he actualy used war inc as a fundraising tool__ and won.! he's the real deal_ keep an eye out for him!"

Anyways, it's nothing huge but I think it shows that a respectful and intelligent strategy for communicating with people can help open up opportunities for conversations with people about liberty. Liberty is unifying and if you look for ways to present it that appeal to people where they are then the message can spread quickly.

I am a former chairman of the Georgia Libertarian Party. I helped get Ed Clark on the ballot. I was co-chairman of a committee to help defeat a local option sales tax in Cobb County, Georgia. It was defeated by a margin of 59% to 41% in spite of being outspent by 31 to 1. The key to success of my efforts is the same one that you are using, ACTION. Taking positive action. Disregarding naysayers. Staying focused. Being upbeat and positive. Showing people how they will benefit by eliminating the Fed. Asking for their support. Everyone can help in their own way. I am currently asking people to commit 15 minutes of their time every week in their support of liberty. I believe that approach will help. Any positive message that we can disseminate will help. The key is to stay focused on the goal and to keep on trucking.

I'm playing clips of Peter Schiff talking about the Federal Reserve on Freedom Watch to my high school students to teach them about

(I couldn't find the exact tweet, but I love that he's teaching his students about this stuff, so I paraphrased :)

hi shelly,
i could not resist posting a comment.
i am very active in HR 1207. as you can see in my e address that my 'other' name is sunny. the daily paul is not my site but it is indeed the site i am referring to cuz if you go to the homepage of the DP you will see my thread.
it is entitled Update - 'HR 1207 - 261 co-sponsors'. that's me. i have been doing that thread since may 12. it is fun to do cuz it is so much fun watching it grow.

all i can say is ron is a magnificent man. i have met and spoken with him quite a few times - the last being at the mises institute, and that was SUCH a treat.

anyway, this is getting a bit long so i'll close by saying that i think we got the fed on the defensive and go ron go!

i'll be tuning in tomorrow for another great freedom watch.

I think out of all things Campaign for Liberty has worked on..this is the one bill I am most passionate about. I think if we crack this...it would be like cracking the code to regain our economic freedom.

I have been pushing it like crazy.

I have all needed phone numbers at hand in my home office and EVERY morning...I take the first 30 minutes of my day to call, fax AND email the members I am targeting. Also, at all the tea parties I have attended...my sign and agenda is HR1207 (S604).

I am also ALL over youtube and SodaHead with info about this bill and have opened many people's eyes and turn them on to this.

I always swore I would NOT put bumper stickers on my car and kept that promise for over 20 yrs...but now, I PROUDLY have on both my cars....one bumper sticker that says "AUDIT THE FED" and another that says "RON PAUL REPUBLICAN". It is amazing how much attention these have brought. I even dropped off one of them at the dealership yesterday for service and my service guy said to me "I want to commend you on your bumper stickers. It is so good to see I am not alone. I am a registered Libertarian and love Dr Paul".

BTW...My friend Robin also is hardcore supporter of this bill. She even got those magnetic car door signs that say..."WAKE UP AMERICA. The Federal Reserve is a Banking Cartel"

So, please, to all of you....keep spreading the word. We need to make even more people aware of what is going on with our taxes. There is nothing wrong with helping the needy....but it is wrong for banksters to use that excuse to abuse our money and generosity.

END THE FED!!!!

Keep up the good work Shelly!!!

Peace, Freedom and Prosperity to all!!!

Been calling the local talk radio show. Host agrees, but doesn't talk about it unless I call to bring it up. It goes over most of the audience heads, and no one responds to the usual talking points - unless I bring up other freedom info. Any suggestions?

The "money system" is a

The "money system" is a purely logical design and therefore can be fully analysed from a control system's engineering perspective for stability among other things see:

http://bibocurrency.org/Formal%20Stability%20Analysis%20and%20experiment%20(final)%20rev%203.4.pdf

The technical design of the money system being perpetrated on the world is simple but not understood because it is presented always mixing the complex consequences of implementing its design with the design itself, a tactic used often in disinformation to masque the true nature of simple devices that have socially unacceptable consequences but that nonetheless are desired by some. Take the following axiom to illustrate how this tactic is used:

"System design affects the behaviour of users but user behaviour does not affect system design unless that behaviour expressly acts to alter or replace the design"

So just like in the game of musical chairs it is the design itself that breeds the inequity of the outcome and not the nature of the players.

But if I were to convince everyone that it is the behaviour of the players that makes the system behave one way or the other (something that at first glance seems plausible, then I would be able to create an endless stream of "disciplines" all covering vast domains of knowledge of human behaviour but that rarely if ever produce anything conclusive. This is how we are bamboozled into unwittingly following along with simple devices that cause us so much harm.

This means that the key issue in money is not who performs the function but what the function does and how it is designed to do it. This, in my opinion is what is required as a first priority and until most anyone has a firm grasp of how money works technically, we will never see the day of liberation from monetary slavery in time to avoid physical slavery.

So what is required is a complete understanding of the money issues that most anyone can grasp and that enables them to confidently determine for themselves what constitutes a money system that will serve all and any agent for all and any type of wealth transaction. The following link can help

http://bibocurrency.org/stability%20video%20v%204.2.8.pdf

Although the system design is simple, to crystalise the truth about it requires getting all the details right just one of them wrong of incomplete can serve to discredit the whole. This is where the formal stability analysis is necessary but once that has been achieved the more colloquial explanation (second link above) is sufficient so that we can all become experts on money fast.

Finally, remember that the guys designing the fall of the US economy and of the FED are the ones that have syphoned off most of the world's gold through multiple transactions over the years. They are anticipating two things one the demise of the erred system they have been running for close to a century in the US and much longer than that elsewhere and the second thing is a desperate return to a gold standard, for which they have all the gold already which will prop them up once again as the worldwide stewards of the new money system.

Abraham Lincoln greebacks worked better than any gold standard and too much money does not cause inflation but rather debt growth by interest causes inflation and an increase in the money supply, the subtle difference is important. Check out the math and you will see.

Let me know your comments and thanks for your efforts.

1) Close any bank acct. with major banks CITI , BofA, Chase Etc. Use your small local bank or credit union.2) Roll your 401K into CD, at your local bank.3) Default on CC or pay them off. Buy nothing on credit cut up all your cards and send them back with a nice go to hell note.4) Organized sick out/boycott, the french do it all the time. How about a city like Detroit everyone stay home from work and not buy anything for one day.5) Sign petitions for recalls where allowable, dont wait for mid term election, send the politicians home now. 6).Inundate your congressman with e-mail and letters expressing your view. 7) Increase your W4 deductions at work, at tax time ask for an extension, then request a payment schedule, delay them using your money.8) Let Obama know your views at Whitehouse.gov. 9). Support congressman like Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Alan Grayson who are fighting the FED. 10) Educate yourself and others on FED RES system and how it operates and who owns them.

This is the biggest scam in the history of the world and we have all been subjigated to slavery because of it. Any Congressman that does not oppose the FED RES is a traitor to the USA.

Its time to restore the Constitution and Freedom.

I wrote a 900-word editorial

I wrote a 900-word editorial and had it published as a guest column in my local newspaper (circulation 32k) on July 8, 2009 in Victoria, TX (pop. 60k+), which is in Ron Paul's district. I implicated the Federal Reserve and the phony two-party system in the failures of government and explained the need for a “healthy distrust of all governments”.

Opening paragraph:
“Now that the Tea Parties and Independence Day have passed, I'd like to reflect on the contradictions on which these celebrations are based. The need for a Tea Party suggests we're oppressed while celebrating July 4th asserts that we're free. So, which is it?”

Excerpt:
“…the Tea Parties were crawling with establishment hacks trying to cling to relevance while facing shared complicity in our current economic state. The local GOP tried in vain to hitch its wagon to the growing popularity of Paul's true limited-government message. They masqueraded as proponents of freedom while standing in the colossal shadow of their stern dismissal of his message in 2008.”

I live in the "Free State" of New Hampshire. As part of my commitment to the Liberty movement I am part of an organization called New Hampshire Liberty Alliance. There goal, and purpose is to make sure that our state politicians stay responsible for how they vote. We actively research all bills that come to the legislature, and review them on various aspects, but especially on there constitutionality, and impact to the people of New Hampshire. We then go in front of the legislature and testify (good or bad) on the nature of the bill. We have had many successes including keeping NH as the only state in the country that does not have an adult seatbelt law. We then rate all of the representatives from A+ to F as to their "Liberty Rating" Check out NHliberty.org to find out more.

Communicate persistently! I

Communicate persistently!

I designed and had printed 100 post cards to send to each Senator with a very strong message. I call at least 10 of them every day in all states since my New Mexico representatives are high on the Obama bandwagon and are deaf to any opposition.

I also send contributions to conservatives running for election or re-election in all states. We have to work at cleaning out Congress and every bit helps.

Those of us who can't easily schedule attendance at meetings can still do something to add our voices.

Gave away my only copy of 1984.

I have been working on two

I have been working on two separate goals, neither of which is necessarily exclusive of the other and both of which often work together.

First, I am showing people how easy it can be to "go green" and how much great stuff there is out there to do it. All it takes is the ability to stop thinking of Wal-Mart first when you are thinking about what you need to eat, drink, or use in your daily life. I'm calling this "Free Market Environmentalism" and am promoting that through my website at Aaron's EnvironMental Corner (putting the Mental into Environmental) :)

I spend a lot of time refuting (so-called) arguments from Gorebots about how my views are not "helping" and how we can't do this without using government force and socializing corporations and businesses. Mostly I just point out how much their arguments sound like religion and fascism and let them bury themselves. Hopefully, they'll later appear as usable compost.

Second, I'm trying to get people to understand that GOP does not equal GOD and following the Republican Party just because you always have and if you don't, the evil Democrats will win, is a false, lame, and Communist argument.

Just last night, someone on Twitter told me that there are "still good party members in the GOP" to which I responded, "Yep, and there are good party members in the Communist Party too." Point out the obvious hypocrisy and let these people see it for themselves.

What we need in this country is a NON PARTY movement with truly independent voters who vote for candidates, not political parties and their (often ignored) ideals. Join the Campaign for Liberty, the LP, the CP, or any of the others if you want. But don't let that dictate your vote.

When I was in party leadership for the LP in Utah, back when I still lived there, I worked hard to combine forces with like-minded political parties and groups. We co-sponsored a gubernatorial candidate with the Constitution Party, we held rallies against the USA PATRIOT Act with the CP, the Green Party, the ACLU, the Eagle Forum, the GOP, the Dems, and many others.

Just because you're a member of a political party doesn't mean you are required to vote for them. The fastest way to show your dislike for something the party is doing is to LEAVE IT.

Anyway, I'm getting pretty wordy, as per usual.

Keep up the great work, Shelly!

WOW that's very inspiring. I

WOW that's very inspiring. I try to post things that my local government is doing and get people involved in stopping it. I also help organize a meetup to try and spread the word one person at a time.
