The announcement:

I am pleased to announce that the Liberty Restoration Project has partnered with Texans for Accountable Government to literally take the police state head on.

After attending the Continental Congress of 2009 John Bush, executive director of TAG, and myself realized that our movement is not aware of the intrusive and destructive relationship between DHS and our local/state law enforcement.

You see, DHS has found a back door way to both militarize and federalize every level of law enforcement, and through these “fusion centers”, all levels of law enforcement become pledged to the war on terror.

If 2009 was the year of the Federal Reserve, we intend to make sure 2010 is the year of the Fusion Center – educating every activist in our movement and exposing their fraud against the American people.

Learn more about our initiative here: www.operationdefuse.com

This project will involve:
1. Visit every fusion center in the nation, interviewing staff for our new radio show Rise Up Radio (on micro broadcasts in cities all across the midwest including Stl, OKC, and Austin)
2. Coordinate simultaneous open records requests to every fusion center in the country at the same time
3. Conduct community forums in each state to educate the public and bring our law enforcement face to face with the community (humanize) – these will be live streamed
4. Provide a central location for each state to display their open records documents… a Patriot Fusion Center of our own
5. Grassroots MIAC hearings – since the MIAC oversight committee came up with a report that LRP believes is inconsistent with the will of the CITIZENS of Missouri, we will hold our own hearings in the same cities with Liberty-Loving State Rep Candidates and create our OWN recommendations for the body. Law enforcement, elected officials, activists, and all members of the Missouri Community are invited to attend

We are still looking for a donor to provide finger foods and a few kegs so our supporters can mingle and learn while having some fun Let me know if you are willing to sponsor us in that way!

LRP sends out a big thank you to all of our donors and supporters. 2009 was a very successful year and we see even bigger things on the horizon as we have worked hard to cultivate cross-state collaborative initiatives that are helping us all grow and learn together!

Save the Date Austin: December
Our second event will be held in Austin, TX on December 28th.  TAG will be holding their annual Christmas party at Bagpipes Pub and Brewery where we will kick off the Southern tour of “Operation Defuse”.

“Operation Defuse” Southern  Tour
During the week between Christmas and New years, Catherine Bleish and John Bush plan to visit every fusion center in Texas.  On January 4the we will be testifying in the Austin City Council hearing on fusion centers and then we will take off for our next stop, Phoenix.  We will be driving through the south hitting fusion centers in AZ, OK, LA, GA, AL, MS, TX and, of course, MO.

Keep an eye on www.operationdefuse.com for the official dates/event locations as they develop.

“Operation Defuse” Missouri
Kevin Kobe, KC Area Director for LRP will be coordinating the Missouri components of Operation Defuse.  In February we plan to hold mirror MIAC hearings in the same cities our legislature held theirs.  Because LRP feels their report was nothing more than a whitewash, we intend to take liberty loving state rep candidates across the state of Missouri so they may listen to the public and develop a strategy to combat the intrusive nature of fusion centers once in office.  We will be inviting law enforcement, the media and the general public to contribute. The goal is to live stream these events on the web.

I can guarantee you the report out of this liberty-candidate committee will NOT be a white wash.

You can learn more by visiting www.operationdefuse.com

Thank you all for your support – I can’t wait to experience liberty in OUR lifetime!

Shoulder to shoulder we stand,
Catherine
