Road to Recovery: Ten Steps for the Constitution and LibertyBy Michael Boldin So I wont waste your time sharing more of the same. Is the situation hopeless? Absolutely not. But in order to actually turn things around, a few sacred cows need to be dealt with. Here are TEN STEPS you should take right now to set the stage for a dramatic Constitutional recovery. John Adams forcefully asserted that the American Revolution was not, in fact, the war for independence. The real American Revolution, Adams wrote, was a radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people. Its not just Obamacare that violates the Constitution. Its almost everything these people do, from telling you what size toilet you can have, to what kind of light bulb you can buy or what kind of plant you can grow and consume in your own backyard. Its their federal reserve, their wars, their executive orders, their regulations, their national security, and everything in between. Entire agencies ATF, DEA, TSA, and many others shouldnt even exist, much less do what they do. Even programs you like, or feel entitled to because theyve forced you to pay for them for years, are constitutional violations. If a company was suing you, would you hire one of that companys lawyers to represent you? If you and I had a dispute, would you want my girlfriend Sarah to decide whos right and whos wrong? No, federal judges absolutely cannot be impartial when it comes to federal power. Think rubber stamp. Massive violations of the Constitution have been happening under every president in modern times. Replacing one president with another has happened every 4-8 years for a long enough time to know that the next president is going to be really bad too. Guaranteed. And if that guarantee fails, the one after will be awful. Putting your constitutional eggs into one persons basket only ensures that the Constitution will end up totally smashed. No one in their right mind would see Lucky Luciano as a savior to the evils of Al Capone, or vice versa. Maybe you could convince one of your friends to do all the dirty work needed to rise up the ladder of the organization, so one day they would be in a place to reduce the harm it does to you personally. Maybe, but very unlikely. And even if you could, at the end of the day, a mob boss would still run the organization and would have you killed if needed. When you vote the bums out, you just get new bums. No further explanation necessary. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison both recognized that if the federal government ever became the sole and exclusive arbiter of the extent of its own power, that power would always grow, regardless of protests, lawsuits, or elections. They were right. Going to the federal government to fix problems created by the federal government doesnt work. Liberty is not a spectator sport. It takes action, sustained and persistent. Its time we all get out of our comfort zone, even if that means we risk something. Its for the future, and its worth it. We all need to be ready to do far more than what we are doing today. That includes committing to doing so incessantly until the job is done. Without being fully on board with these first nine steps, the tenth will almost certainly end in failure. You might find yourself distracted by the same old tricks theyve played on all of us for decades (think Bush vs Clinton). You are facing a federal government that lies to you, spies on you, and claims the power to lock you up indefinitely (that means forever) without any due process. They rip you off at every turn and give your money to the politically connected. They make up the rules as they go, and change them on a whim. They have absolutely no respect for the constitution or your liberty. They mean business. And that means you need to mean business too. These people only get away with this stuff as long as you continue to use their approved methods to stop them from oppressing you. James Madison, known as the Father of the Constitution, told us just what to do. There isnt a person alive today who knows more about the Constitution than he did, so his advice needs to be followed. Now. When enough people put Madisons advice into practice, theres not much that the federal government can do to force their unconstitutional acts, regulations and mandates down our throats.

STEP 1: Be prepared to go to jail for standing up for our rights. Many of us are fighting every day to turn things around. We have been jailed and reviled by our neighbors thanks to the press that wants to curry favor with power and keep those campaign ad dollars rolling in. Dont want to discourage but you need to know the ugly truthevery revolution begins with jailing and disappearing people. Are you ready? since 911 what little rights you thought you had are out the window and you have none better turn to an everliving Jesus instead Theres only one step necessary to save America from the precipice of CLUE: Todays woes were non-existent in Consequently, there Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835: They exercised the rights of Amongst these documents we America was exalted in the For Then And understand that we live in a theocracy, especially believers.
