Time to Hit the Streets for Liberty
By
street fighting man Don Meinshausen
These are times that try our spirits. Our liberty is being attacked on
almost every front. We now have to stop attacking each other for a while (just
a little while). This is just a short list of happenings that could take our
message to the activists who have not heard about us.
(1) During the August recess many congresscritters are having town
meetings. You have seen these events on You Tube become great confrontations on
bailouts, socialized medicine and cap and trade. Do your part to make sure that
these events are principled, and well attended. Show the 9/12 and other allied
groups that we are on their side. Help keep these sessions focused on the
issues and peaceful so that they wonât be called off. Bring literature and
collect a mailing list. We can find new friends here. What labor organizing is
to the left taxpayer organizing is to us. Show the ACORN and other leftists
that they are supporting the banksters and the war by supporting Obama. Hit the
fundraisers as well as other events supporting the feudalistic federales.
Donât be afraid of going to ACORN functions and other leftie forums.
(2) On 9/12 there will be a huge anti-tax rally in Washington DC. Campaign
for Liberty is a sponsor and Judge Napolitano is speaking. The LP is not
allowed to be a sponsor because that would mean that the GOP could also be a
sponsor and we donât want that. We need to show that the GOP and the
conservatives do not speak for the tax revolt. They have sold us out too many
times. We need to be there in large numbers. No, not to assemble as a group but
to circulate through the crowd and pass out literature, OPH etc. We also need
people to distribute anti-war and anti-drug war literature. We can recruit
candidates, donors and activists here. They will remember that we came to
support them and they will then support us. Ride with a bus or car pool with
them so as to spend quality time to explain who we are and how we can work
together.
(3) There are many of us who want to run around the streets with black
flags. Do not do that with first two suggested actions. If you want to be rowdy
and donât mind getting tear-gassed then here is your venue. On Sep 24/25th
there will be a G20 meeting in Pittsburgh with protests against the states
running the world economy. This makes sense even if the protesters donât. I
did all that stuff in the 60âs and the 70âs and I canât outrun the cops
anymore so I have to take a pass. There is also the option of arranging a
debate on free trade with the protesters at some nearby university. Hopefully
weâll get some radical Rothbardian to defend our case. In this case the Mises
is the Medium. So if the political people can put together a program for our
progress this is potentially powerful.
If you have more actions let everyone know.
