One of my Samsphere buddies has a post that makes a lot of sense – at least, for a lot of other states. Here in NH, we see this in play every March in every hamlet – those that wish to be merely left alone after the basics of government have been fulfilled, finally get “up to here” and run for office (along with a bunch of his or her buddies). In fact, we have that going on in my town of Gilford – those of us that wish to actually have a limited government and those (mostly that are paid by government entities) who argue for more and more under the rubric of “quality of life”. Well, Bill the Freedomist had this to say, as like many, he has concerns about how the national elections will turn out, as well as his state level elections. But he catches on: the key is to be as local as possible:
…Whoever wins in November, we must remember that America’s Founders didn’t try to change London, they started their revolution for freedom by changing their Town Meetings- they used the governments they COULD control against the government they couldn’t control! They even built this thinking into our system of government, a confederal union (federalism) of coequal states which are in turn a federation of coequal local governments. The starting point for the American revolution was the Town Meeting, and it was the TOWNS, not the Colonies at first, that INITIALLY led the resistance to the Crown.
This is the path forward- and it is the quickest and easiest way to STOP the Politocracy, a path that we can take and have confidence in NO MATTER WHO WINS IN NOVEMBER!
Imagine knowing that we have a great way to stop this Politocracy in its tracks, using a method that can work in just a few months of at most a few years, to basically use the local governments we can control to confront and resist the state and federal governments that, at present, we cannot control?
HOW do we do this?
I’ll keep it simple- we start by doing three key things: we repent, we petition, and we gather.
There’s more, both in front and at the end. A good read by all – so go!
