Volume 9 — Issue 15 — April 14, 2009
Published every Tuesday
Greetings, all! This is not how I like to start my day, but we just got back from a visitation at a local funeral home. The deceased had been a tenant in the property that we manage for over two years and had just moved out at the end of January.
We had seen him once since then, when he stopped in just to say hello; he was rather depressed, but then, we all know people who are depressed, so we didn't think a lot about it—then last Thursday we got the news that he had ingested several months' supply of a blood pressure drug, and it had killed him in a few days.
He was only forty-eight, and the saddest part of all is that, as far as we have been able to determine, he had not received Jesus as his Lord and Savior. The minister who gave the memorial service did not know David, and, of course, when that is the case, it is hard to give a eulogy. But he managed beautifully.
He told us he recently had visited death row at an Alabama penitentiary where he spoke to one of the inmates, who poo-pooed him and his beliefs. And then the prisoner asked him this: What if you die and the Bible turns out to be untrue? To which the wise man of God said to the condemned murderer:
Well, at the very worst, all I've done is to live a moral life and succeeded in living free without being cooped up in a cell. But what if YOU die and the Bible does turn out to be true? I will have my heavenly home, and you will burn forever in hell ... think about it!
We all need to think about that. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this week's issue. :-)

[ If you are reading this, you might be considered a security threat! Read on ... ]
At least, the Missouri State Police think you might be a security threat.
Why? It could be because you support Ron Paul and the Campaign for Liberty. Or because maybe you own guns, oppose abortion, or home school your children.
Even—and I'm serious—because you support the U.S. Constitution.
I know, it's ridiculous ... and probably steams you a bit.
[It should!] But here at Campaign for Liberty we are going to give this foolishness the treatment it deserves. More on that in a moment. Let me give you a bit more background.
As you may be aware by now, the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) recently released a report titled, "The Modern Militia Movement" to over 1,000 Missouri law enforcement officers.
What is the Missouri Information Analysis Center? According to its website:
"MIAC is the mechanism to collect incident reports of suspicious activities to be evaluated and analyzed in an effort to identify potential trends or patterns of terrorist or criminal operations within the state of Missouri. MIAC will also function as a vehicle for two-way communication between federal, state and local law enforcement community within our region."
The MIAC warned officers that violent militia members are "usually" supporters of Presidential candidates like Ron Paul and are also known for opposition to things like the Federal Reserve and the income tax.
The "study" was undoubtably written by some university liberal who knows nothing of the hundreds of thousands of Missourians who share our values. I can only imagine how many hundreds of thousands of Missouri tax dollars funded this.
Both Ron Paul and Campaign for Liberty champion principles of freedom, peace, and prosperity. We believe that the founders' vision for America can be reclaimed through education and peaceful activism.
It is a common practice of elitist intellectuals and backroom bureaucrats to attempt to crowd everyone into groups and stick labels on them, especially when it involves those who support a Constitutionally-limited government.
Anthony Gregory, editor-in-chief at Campaign for Liberty, has posted an excellent new article on our site concerning government broad-brush fear campaigns.
It is important that we respond in the right way when faced with such a government labeling, and the proper way is to go straight to the top in Missouri.
The way to fight thugs and ignorant people in authority is not to cower or rage, but to proudly proclaim who you are and what you believe.
Our petition spells out in no uncertain terms who we are and what we believe. And it reminds those in charge of enforcing Missouri's laws that we are citizen activists, who will not be intimidated nor embarrassed into silence.
Simply owning a gun does not make you a threat. It means you are a free citizen.
Supporting our Constitution does not make you worthy of a watch list—it makes you a patriot.
So please sign our citizen's petition today.
Liberty is never free, and it demands vigilance.
In liberty,
John Tate
President, Campaign for Liberty

Let's have a vocabulary lesson today, shall we?
Ran across this one today ... you know, one of those words you've run into for years but cannot quite get the meaning of from the context, so you just kind of skip over it, because you don't want to take the time to look it up ...
Well, today I looked up "ubiquitous" and found out that it merely means "omnipresence."

To those who voted for Obama, congrats (I guess)
"Do something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else." —Franklin D. Roosevelt (but the Democrats just throw good money after bad when something fails)
Well, your man WON—I just hope that everyone who voted for him realizes WHO he really is (since few know his background at all). In the past year, not ONE person could tell me ANYTHING he accomplished, not in the Senate, not in Illinois. Youu think he can bring people together? Hope you're right—but where's the proof?
He thinks that taxing business and those who generate over $121,000 a year (Yes, NOT $250,000—see, you haven't been listening to him) will be GOOD for jobs? DUH! Taxes from business pay for JOBS in business—like water departments, road departments, school teachers—no business, no jobs, no taxes ...
The Democrats will start by taking people's 401-K's and putting the funds into the social security system (with IRAs and pensions—yes, pensions—not far behind). They already have this plan for 401-Ks ready to bring in as a bill, so don't think that will not happen ... and last they will TRY to take away the BEST health care system in the WORLD and make it a Canada/England health care system (which the founder/creator in England says was the BIGGEST mistake of his life).
That is what all Obama voters voted for—all of the above and even more—like cutting our defense budget by 25% ... hope every Obama voter sleeps well.
I will pray for the office of President as I have for forty years, but this man is BAD NEWS for all Americans. Just wait and see, and I said this before ... IF he was elected, Jimmy Carter's Presidency will look like a TREMENDOUS success, and everyone knows he was the WORST ever!
You'd better start praying EVERY DAY for this country, for it is the only thing that can save us—then again maybe this is God's way of telling America that you have rejected me and my commandments, for way too long—now it is time for some discipline!
Some final notes — Are we not known by the company we keep? I fear that many Obama voters did not care to see/or look into his friends, the company he keeps ... scary people, to say the least.
Obama spoke of hope rather than fear. My hope
is that he does right by the Constitution—my fear is that he WILL NOT uphold it, even after he swore to on his Inauguration Day!
