which is why you should come with me to a “Tea Party” demonstration at the Village Green in Summit on Friday, July 3rd.  Bet you have off of work already, and what better way to begin America's birthday weekend than to raise our voices in protest of the policies, agendas, and attitudes that are killing our homeland more quickly by the day.  I don’t feel it should be necessary to explain that position any further...but it would appear that I am going to!

I will be heading out there, following a bike run from the Great Notch…American flag flying proudly on my truck.  Kickstands up, and my foot on the GO TIME! pedal at 2:00.  Demonstration is from 3-6.  This is not a partisan demonstration, but a protest against the entire direction we find ourselves being dragged in by the LEADERS OF THE WEAK AND MEAK WHO HAVE HIJACKED OUR COUNTRY.  I take particular interest in hearing the Libertarian candidate for NJ Governor speak.

I’ve got other things to DO besides struggle to show you that if we don’t raise our voices REALLY LOUD quick, this country is fucked.  No apologies for my language.  It is what it is.  Suffer it silently upon yourself, and starve to death in bondage.  Nothing about having that cartoon etched on my tombstone has any appeal to me.

I AM GOING OUT ON THE EVE OF THE 233RD BIRTHDAY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO SCREAM THAT I DO NOT WANT HER TO DIE, AND NEITHER WILL I DIE WITH THE HANDS OF HER SLAVEMASTERS AROUND MY THROAT!!!.

If you truly love your country, I hope that you will consider joining me for a few hours of the day that you only have off because of those who died for the FREEDOM and CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that we so silently squander.

If you can get past the fact that I am STOMPING PISSED for good reason, but not specifically angry at any of you, I hope you’ll check out the website for New Jersey Citizens for Liberty, who are running the show on Friday.  At the demonstration, you will also be encouraged to sign a scroll with a Declaration of Grievances (below).  This scroll will be forwarded to Washington…and suddenly, your voice just became a little LOUDER!.

Wanna think what this is all about?  Not just Friday.  Not just the Fourth of July.  This is about the Life and Death of Freedom and Liberty in the United States of America.  Please at least take a few minutes to read what I will be signing my name to on Friday afternoon, and know that I NEVER sign my name to anything that I consider to be a falsehood, in any form.  I can no longer nap while my own heart and soul is stifled.

I do not expect all of you to jump on this opportunity, nor do I would I ever expect my friends to move when I say.  However, should you find yourself in agreement with my sentiments, I would be tremendously appreciative if you were to repost this bulletin in its entirety…or WRITE, SPEAK, AND DO ALL THAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT in your own way…a way that makes you and everyone around you STRONGER!.

To have even one of you join me would be an honor.  Not much room in the truck, but plenty of room in the bed.

With absolute sincerity,

Brian S. Arnesman.

PS: I told you at I WILL get involved with politics.  With tremendous PRIDE, I will not tell a lie.

UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS band – “Marines’ Hymn”

Should have used MySpaz instead of Jerkfacebook, huh?  The fact that you may not hear or see this must not overshadow my longstanding statement that I would proudly offer my Life in defense and appreciation of the values the men and women who serve and have served in our military for the defense of Freedom, Country, and Self.  I need not be a Marine to uphold these standards to the highest level I am capable of…knowing that Death is neither a measure of success nor failure, but purely one of the sacrifice I offer in place of the sacrifices which we will all suffer should we look upon our Rights in deference to an oppressive and domineering government.

....

The following has already been forwarded to Washington along with the signatures of thousands of Citizens from around the Country.  I may only be one more voice…one more signature…but at least I will rest peacefully knowing that I have risen up for myself and all that I love.

Declaration of Grievances

WHEREAS we, as Americans, resolutely and conclusively believe that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, and that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness;

WHEREAS we, as Americans, resolutely and conclusively believe that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed;

WHEREAS we, as Americans, resolutely and conclusively believe that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of 1787, and the Bill of Rights, were adopted and ratified to limit and constrain the power of the Government of the United States of American so as to secure and maximize the Liberty of the People and the sovereignty of the States;

WHEREAS we, as Americans, resolutely and conclusively believe that the Government of the United States of America has become destructive to these ends, and has embarked upon a long train of abuses and usurpations, resulting in the unlawful and unjustified encroachment upon the Liberty of the People and the sovereignty of the States;

WE HEREBY PETITION THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND DEMAND REDRESS OF THE FOLLOWING GRIEVANCES:

The Government has, by unlawfully expanding its powers beyond those enumerated and prescribed by our founding documents, fomented and encouraged factions and disputes among and between the People of the United States.

The Government has, by adopting an inequitable, confiscatory income tax, fomented and encouraged factions and disputes among and between the People.

The Government has, through its own incompetence and corruption, created a fiscal crisis, and then has used its crisis as false justification for passage of legislation and regulations designed and intended to further and advance the Government’s power.

The Government has, through its adoption of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, imposed upon the People of the United States a unfunded obligation in excess of $50 Trillion, thus rendering our country insolvent, and threatening the very safety and security of each of us.

The Government has, in addition thereto, imposed upon the people an obligation to repay a national debt, financed by bonds sold to other nations, in excess of $3 Trillion.

The Government has adopted destructive policies of spending, borrowing, and printing currency, all of which become the obligation of all Americans, including our children who are not yet born.

The Government has imposed socialism through its purchase of the predominant entities in the Automobile Industry and Financial Sector, and financed this unlawful intrusion into the free markets of the United States, through its inequitable, confiscatory tax code.

We have previously petitioned the Government of the United States for Redress: Our Petitions were answered with the ridicule of the President of the United States, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and other elected officials of the government of the United States.  A Government which ridicules those who come forward with grievances is unfit to govern a free people.

We once again demand that the Government of the United States of America take all action necessary to protect the Liberty of the people and the sovereignty of the States, including without limitation:

1.  Repeal of the 16th Amendment and replacement of the Federal Income Tax with a more fair and equitable tax in which each and every American contributes, and thus has an interest in demanding a limited and efficient federal government.

2.  Passage of a balanced-budget amendment.

3.  Passage of a Constitutional Amendment granting the president a line-item veto.

4.  Passage of a Constitutional Amendment requiring a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate for any tax increases.

5.  Passage of a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting wage and price controls.

6.  Passage of HR 1207, which calls for an audit of the Federal Reserve.

7.  Evaluation of each and every federal department and agency to determine whether its existence is authorized by the Constitution, as informed by the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Founder’s intent, and the dissolution of ally such departments and agencies not so authorized.
