When in the Course of Human Events…

The Liberty Restoration Project is a group of freedom activists in the Kansas City area dedicated to carrying the torch of the Ron Paul Revolution through the Republican National Convention and beyond. The American people need to know that this movement is steadfast, because “the price of freedom is eternal vigilance,” as Thomas Jefferson put it. Freedom is not a foregone conclusion to be casually taken for granted, but a cause to be pursued and defended at every turn. The United States, while one of the last vestiges of freedom, has been turning away from its great traditions of liberty, as guaranteed individual rights have seemingly become optional with the advent of legislation such as the Patriot Act and the Homegrown Terrorism Act. If taken to their extremes, these acts criminalize the very patriotic activity of speaking out against the government.

The Liberty Restoration Project is dedicated to defending the last remnants of the liberty that we now enjoy, and reclaiming some of the freedoms that we as individuals have ceded to our servant government. There is no act which is more patriotic than that of questioning, indeed speaking out against, the abuse of government authority. It is true that the United States is in far better condition, in terms of freedom, than territories occupied by totalitarian regimes, such as Cuba or Iran. But without eternal vigilance, and the courage of a few good men and women who will eternally fight for the freedoms of others, our America will be lost forever.

So how do we do this? Well, the most basic way is through educating people in our community. We will be holding seminars on specific topics related to individual rights, the Constitution, the Real I.D. Act, the Homegrown Terrorism Act, the Federal Income Tax Scam, as well as many other important issues, current and historical. Then, we will teach people how to become involved, through petitioning the government at the local, state and federal level. We will show people how, and hopefully encite in them the courage, to stand up for their God-given rights.

Through this Presidential Primary and Caucus season, as well as through my participation in the Liberty Restoration Project, I’ve received an education that is worth a whole lot more than the pseudo-educational sham that I paid arm, leg, and firstborn for in the American university system. Through the Liberty Restoration Project, we will continue to educate Americans, from Washington State to Florida and from Maine to California, hopefully enticing a significant portion of them to join in the next phase of the Freedom Revolution.
