Sit Back or Stand Up: What Course Will You Take?

For many years, America has been slipping away from its founding principles. We have slowly lost freedoms and quietly exchanged life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for the illusion of safety and protection. Through all of this, we are becoming a nanny state. The government has increasingly stepped into our daily lives. From the healthcare bill to Cap and Trade, the continued bailouts, and everything in between, D.C. is slowly taking complete control. How is it that 545 millionaires, lawyers, judges, and career politicians know how to run our lives better than we do? These politicians are voted in to represent the people, not their party. They are there to guide, not control. It's time we wake up and realize that 'We the People' are in control.

During the Revolution, we were fighting off tyranny from an enemy across the ocean. Today, the tyrannical enemy is coming from within, straight from Washington, D.C. Trillions of tax dollars are being used to bail out banks, take over the auto industry, socialize our healthcare system, and carry the burden of the increasing amounts of non-tax-paying illegal immigrants. The government is running our country into massive debts and making us foot the bill through increased taxation. Add on top of all that the numerous unconstitutional bills being passed and terrible decisions being made, today's government is rekindling the flame of Liberty that first burned rampant in the late 1700’s. We the People are demanding that we restore America back to what she once was - a place of Freedom and Liberty.

We the People must not stand for this tyranny and government control. Our Founding Fathers took a stand and the rest is history. Today, we 'Freedom Fighters' must take our stand. We must vote the traitors out and restore liberty. The future of our homeland is in our hands. We must put the federal government in their place, repeal unconstitutional laws, and force them to do what the Constitution requires them to do - protect our borders and protect the life, liberty, property, and rights of We the People.

The upcoming 2010 elections will decide our future. We must vote for true patriots that are concerned about their country and the people. We can no longer continue to vote for the career politicians who are concerned about their party, lobbyists, and money. Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Well, the government is nothing less than insane if they think more of the same will get us out of the problems we face today. It's time for real change in government.

The following years are undoubtedly important to America. If we sit back and do nothing, how will we be remembered? Thomas Jefferson said that all tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.Patrick Henry understood this and chose not to remain silent, persuading Virginia to join him in the Revolution on March 23, 1775, ending his speech with the famous quote, "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death." Today, freedom fighter Jenny Hodges has a new philosophy: 'Give me liberty, or I'll give you hell.'

We can sit back and watch America be destroyed from within, or we can stand up, speak out, and take our country back. What course will you take?

I burned a flag today

An old flag blew into my friends yard. We caught it, and followed proper flag disposal procedures.

My friend (a public servant himself), noted that even if we hadn't followed the ceremony correctly, we'd still be treating our Stars and Stripes better than the government is.

Its not about an R or D next to your name, what platform you "should" follow. Its about being an American and not letting your government take control of your life.

Government Motors, ObamaCare, bailouts (aka handouts), and numerous other violations leave me stupefied. I forgot to mention my personal favorite, bailing out other countries as we're drowning!

When will America wake up? When will the sheep realize whats happening? Has no one seen V for Vendetta? or modern day Europe?

Some say America has only bastardized its culture from other cultures. I wouldn't call it bastardize. I'd say we took the best of each person who brings something valuable to the table and it became American. We are a unique culture. A free people, at one time, the freest to ever walk the Earth.

How free do you feel now?

Why are there 500,000 coffins by an airport in Georgia? #news

There are 500,000 coffins stacked outside of a airport in Georgia, and word on the street is, they are all over the country.

This may be old news to some of you, but I've been aware of this for about a year. Actually, a little over a year now. There are 500,000 "polyguard vaults" ordered by DHS and FEMA, sitting not too far from CDC HQ in Atlanta. Also, closely in relation to an airport and major interstates.

Sounds a little convinient if you ask me. What do you think? Share your thoughts on twitter or in the comments below. All intelligent views enjoyed!

GPS co-ordinates 40 feet from every American door via Census by ACORN

Why is it this year, for the first time in history, the Census is being run by the White House Chief of Staff? Sounds a little fishy, doesn't it?

Even moreso is the fact that Nobama, ACORN, Rahm, and ole Robert Groves want to have GPS coordinate 40 feet from your door

Now, flashback, that this administration already thinks those who own guns, Bibles, or vote Republican should be cautioned as "extremists".

GPS painting, people. Look it up, wake up, and read. Next blog post may shock you, 500,000 times more than you may expect.

Groves' appointment as Census Chief only helps Liberals and Obamaessiah

On the surface, Groves has been assigned a straightforward task: count every person living in these United States in 2010. Funny, what an important year that is, and in 2 years, when Obamaessiah plans to run for President again, should our country even last that long.

He seems like an average government know-nothing from the outside, but his past shows far more stupidity than one could imagine (guess working with ACORN will be easy).

in '90, GHWB asked him to lead up the Census, which of course he took in stride. Except for the fact that he was all for calculated numbers to fill in the blanks. He devised statistics that utilized "fuzzy math" when it came to illegals and homeless Americans...greatly benefitting the Democrats.

the Commerce Department wanted nothing of it, when, using his model, determined would add over 5 million Americans to the census -- quite a big gap, and more than enough to swing an election (or two, or three, or four, on any level).

Now with the current tyrants in office, they've stated they don't want African-Americans and Hispanics to be "disenfranchised" (read: legally counted correctly), this puts even more stress on our already controversy filled census.

I end this post with how I end many. WAKE UP AMERICA! PLEASE! Call your Congresspeople and tell them you're tired of it. Better yet FIGHT BACK.

2010 may be out last chance, before redistricting and forced affirmitive action take this country down to the bottom of hell.

Your security is not worth the loss of liberty.

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" - Ben Franklin (not Thomas Jefferson, who clearly stated it was Ben who made the quote originally)

As "liberalism" becomes the latest fad, more and more folks are looking to the government for unemployment, welfare, and protection from tyranny. We need to realize that unemployment and the need for welfare are at the fault of the government. We also need to realize that tyranny is at our door.

This is how it begins. Germany. Russia. China. There becomes an "unknown enemy". Can anyone show me an Al-Qaeda uniform? . Then its disarming us for our own safety. Who seriously considers the fact that a criminal who possesses a firearm will think about gun control laws when he commits a crime? Yeah, he will kick in the door with a smile, knowing that an honest citizen is unarmed inside.

Aside from criminals, the 2nd amendment wasn't designed for hunting or crime stopping. It was designed to stop oppression. The people armed are a people free of tyranny.

“Arms in the hands of individual citizens may be used at individual discretion in private self-defense.”
John Adams


Those who think that allowing the government to control ever aspect of your lives, remember this:

"A government big enough to supply you with everything you need, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have...."

While most think this was attributed to Jefferson, it's actually former President Gerald R. Ford who made this statement in 1974 before Congress

We don't need a new party -- we need new politicians!

The current argument is "we need a new party". I suppose that's the fad when two parties aren't going the way the people want them to.

Why add another bunch of crooks to the mix? We've got good folks in each party that care about liberty, freedom, and the rights of the states and their people.

Let's use what we got. Let's fire Senate, and House, and start over. Get our minds around real candidates. Ray McBerry is a good example. So is Ron Paul, and anyone else that respects the power of the people through thought instead of handouts. Politicians who are concerned with the problems of the State and its citizens instead of shaking hands with those out to destroy us.

Ronald Reagan connected with the people with straight talk and a straight shooting attitude. As has McBerry and Paul, who are both having excellent grassroots campaigns brewing.

Get McBerry in GA. Paul out of Texas and into the White House, and we'll be able to start moving towards the goal of freedom, liberty, and a sound financial system, economy. Throw in national security and not being walked on by repeated missile tests.

Once again....wake up, folks! Let's motivate our friends, family, colleagues, and ourselves!

Iranian's fight like I wish AMERICANS would!

People in this world are standing up against oppression.

People in this world are using their rights as free (or who want to be free) people.

People in this world are telling their leaders they're tired of the way things are going.

Sadly, these people are not in the United States.

Across the globe, people are uniting behind the people of Iran, while they are working to to drive the "CHANGE" they desire. They didn't "HOPE", they "TOOK ACTION".

Why don't we? When will we say we've had enough? Who draws the line in the sand?

These are questions I pose to all of you, each of you who read, tweet, write, blog, et cetera.

When do these end, and holding our leaders accountable begin?

No Longer for the People

I stumbled across a blog at on abcnews.com and was shocked at what I read...

With the clock running out on a new US-Russian arms treaty before the previous Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, expires on December 5, a senior White House official said Sunday said that the difficulty of the task might mean temporarily bypassing the Senate’s constitutional role in ratifying treaties by enforcing certain aspects of a new deal on an executive levels and a “provisional basis” until the Senate ratifies the treaty.

And so it begins – a “temporary” bypassing of the Senate and of the Constitution, more specifically Article II, Section 2:

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur

Barack Hussein Obama, who the hell do you think you are? Does the Constitution mean nothing to you? Well, obviously not, but are you so bold that you are willing to blatantly violate the Constitution right in front of our eyes? What will you do next? Bypass the Senate to appoint your controversial judge? Ratify unconstitutional laws? Take away our right to bear arms like you wish to do so much?

I’m beginning to see astounding, frightening similarities between Obama giving into global demands and States giving into federal demands. While Obama is meeting with White House officials discussing the idea of bypassing the Senate, politicians across America are bypassing their People’s best interests and doing what the federal government says is best. Senators, Congressmen, and Governors are losing their backbone and no longer putting their State and their People first! They are giving into the Obamania and the rest of this out-of-control federal government.

What we see taking place in America today is what led to the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, the drafting of our Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Obama considering ignoring the Constitution by bypassing the Senate, Congress ignoring the People they are sworn to represent by passing the Cap-and-Trade, and Governors ignoring their respective State Constitutions by giving into the federal government’s demands are all fueling the fire. The same fire that our Founding Fathers used to heighten their anger, say enough is enough, and stand up to Despotism. If it doesn’t stop, we will make it stop!

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson let it be known that when the government stops being for the People, it is the People’s right and duty to throw off such government. If you (and by you I mean Obama, Senators, Congressmen, and Governors) do not start listening to your People, it will soon be too late. The term “Revolution is brewing” will no longer be taken lightly, and no one will be to blame but you. If you don’t want a Revolution, be for the People and uphold the Constitution. If you don’t think the American people are willing to fight back, just keep pushing, because our People can only be pushed so much before we push back – and we heavily outnumber you!

-Steven Wiggs, SGAFF

On a side note –

I’m pleased to see some are not afraid to stand for their People, even if it means standing up against the Obamania. In regards to the Cap-and-Trade, Congressmen Boehner has been a great voice for the People. In Texas, Governor Perry has openly supported HCR 50, a resolution affirming the State’s sovereignty.

For those that live in Georgia, one candidate for Governor in 2010, Ray McBerry, is assuring his People that he will stand up against the federal government and say enough is enough. While other candidates claim to support States’ Rights, only McBerry has spoken about it prior to this race. He has been an advocate of States’ Rights across the nation for the past decade – while others are simply jumping on the States’ Rights bandwagon. If you want to support a true believer in States’ Rights, our Constitution, and our Liberty, be sure to vote for Ray McBerry – the voice of the People.

“The constitutional Republic given us by our Founding Fathers is in great peril today at the hands of an out-of-control federal government; and our states are now the final guardians of our liberty. It is the privilege and duty of the governor to interpose himself between his people and the enemies of their liberty, even when that threat comes from a federal leviathan.” –Ray McBerry

The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms Shall NOT Be Infringed

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

You may have heard this before. It's in a document we call the Bill of Rights. It is the Second Amendment to a document we call the United States Constitution. Incase you have forgotten, these are two of the most important and sacred documents to this great country. Yet the liberals are slowly trying to take this right away. They are slowly trying to "infringe" our right to keep and bear arms, both on the federal and state levels.

As the Amendment clearly states, it is NECESSARY to the security of a FREE State! In other words, without a right to keep and bear arms, there is no way to promise a free State. Take a look at history; Hell, take a look at Iran in present day, and you will clearly see the truth of this. Any dictator knows that if you want to control your people and not fear a complete takeover from your people, you simply deny their right to keep and bear arms. Do you think Hitler would have been able to kill so many people if the people of Germany were armed? Do you think Ahmadinejad would be able to get away with a rigged election if the people of Iran were armed? Absolutely not!

I'm tired of hearing the same excuse as to why gun control is important -- to prevent criminals from having and using guns. That's like saying prohibition prevented alcoholics from having access to alcohol. It's like saying the war on drugs has prevented abusers from having access to drugs. Don't you get it, America? If someone is going to break the law, do you think they care what the laws are to begin with? The only people who abide by gun laws are law-abiding citizens -- not criminals. Strict gun laws would prevent the everyday citizen from protecting themselves from those criminals. Think about -- when is the last time a criminal has thought to himself, "man, I can't use this gun without first registering it and getting a permit"? Never. And it is foolish to think stricter gun laws will mean more compliance by criminals.

Back to history, and the true importance of the Second Amendment. In the early stages of the American Revolution, the British tried to take away the Colonists' rights to bear arms. They knew what was coming, and they wanted to prevent it. The Founding Fathers knew the true importance of this right and made sure to include it in the Bill of Rights. Not so the people could protect themselves from criminals, but so they could protect themselves from a government whose interests are oppressing and controling their people. In The Federalist, Alexander Hamilton pointed out that the people should not fear a federal government because they would be armed. Has our government lost sight of the true importance of the Second Amendment? Or maybe they know exactly what they're doing and they hope that the people are the ones who have lost sight of things. I think it's the latter, and America needs to wake up and realize this.

We need to stop voting for candidates who support gun control. We need to open our eyes and take this country back. We need to support candidates, like Ray McBerry, who haven't lost sight of the true importance of the Second Amendment (and the rest of the Constitution for that matter). If history is any indication, we are in the early stages of a dictatorship. However, this is America, and if America's history is any indication, a revolution is brewing. Whose side are you on?

"I adamantly oppose any effort to infringe upon the right of law-abiding people of Georgia to keep and bear arms and encourage public awareness of the principle that the best guarantee of liberty is a well-armed populace of good citizens." -Ray McBerry, 2010 Georgia Governor candidate
