Keep the Flame Burning!

Fellow Patriots,
It's been a little over a month since the April 15th Tea Parties and I'm sure some of you are turning their thoughts to Springtime activities. Planting flowers and Victory Gardens and enjoying the newness of this time of year. I am too. We, however, need to keep focused on the next steps of our mission.

I hope you have become a member of a group close to you that has some relevance to you in your life as a Patriot. Groups like the 9-12 Project, Americans for Prosperity, and Fairtax are a good place to explore and discuss your issues with people who think more like you do. Government spending, corrupt Leaders, State Sovereignty or whatever issue rings you liberty bell, get involved.

Every once in awhile we need to be reminded of our rights and responsibilities as an American citizen. We want to live in a country where every man, women or child can reach their full potential without Government intrusion. We must protect our American way of life!

This is not done by sitting in your living rooms and watching others march and carry signs. This is not done by avoiding talking about issues with your friends and neighbors. This is not done by ignoring a different point of view just because the person has a D or an R after his or her name. This is not done by skipping the ballot box. If we want change, we must be the change.

Get active and involved in your communities and in issues that affect the way you want to live your life. Let your Legislators know your feelings, daily if necessary. E-mail is free and you can get your Senator's or Representative's e-mail address by clinking on the links I've provided you here.

It really boils down to to effort. Recently, I posted a report on my activist training at American Majority. Dennis Wilson as the President of the Kansas Chapter of American Majority is fond of saying "the most influential people are the ones that show up".

It an excellent slogan to live by. Sometimes we need to be reminded of our responsibilities. We can't see the problem if we wear blinders and we can't solve the problem if we don't show up.

This is just a little pep talk from an old friend, Thomas Paine. Listen to it and see if you can still ignore that little voice inside your head that says, "I am the solution if I choose to be the solution".




Happy Spring, Partiots!
