Please Help #BuyOutRunawaySlave BUY OUT BOSSIER!

Today I want to give over the space in my blog to a good friend Rob Gaudet who has worked tirelessly to help CL Bryant with his movie Runaway Slave.

C. L. Bryant is an incredible conservative and was brought into the movement by Gaudet in early 2009. The movie is currently being shown in Bossier, LA and they need conservatives to show how committed they are to supporting the movie in wider distribution.

Rob has been content to work for years in the background so others can shine, and I thought his request most eloquent and wanted to reproduce it in full here.

Please do anything you can to help with BUY OUT BOSSIER and then do what you can to bring Runaway Slave to your community.

If you’re tired of Michael Moore, who hates America, getting the attention when he does a documentary. We need your help!

Everyone agrees that the Runaway Slave has the capacity to change the hearts of people that we otherwise could not possibly reach and we need to generate buzz.

My little town in North Louisiana, Bossier City has become ground zero for how well the film Runaway Slave by Rev CL Bryant does nationwide. It has been showing exclusively here for a week now and we had tepid success last weekend with one sold out show. This coming weekend, July 13-15th, is critical that we fill all seats.

Our campaign is called BUY OUT BOSSIER (#BuyOutRunawaySlave) and are asking grassroots citizens across the country to buy at least one ticket even if they can’t go.

Distributors are watching this coming weekend closely to determine how many theaters across the country they will play it in.

We MUST get at least seven sold out showings. The great thing is that not all ticket buyers have to be here, even if you can’t go, you can still buy a ticket on Fandango.com (area code 71111), sat or sun showings preferably. If anyone has capacity to buy a block or a whole showing, even better.

Here in Bossier, we have an uphill battle and need some national help, that is why I am writing to all of you.

The movie is competing with big releases such as Spider Man, it is in an older theater in Bossier City which is the smaller of two sister cities, Shreveport being the other.

THREE WAYS YOU CAN HELP

1) Buy Tickets -> http://tinyurl.com/BuyOutBossier

Even if you can’t go, please consider buying as many tickets as you can on Sunday for the weekend of July 13th – 15th.

Tickets are just $7.50. Please buy all you can!

2) Write about it your blogs and news stories. For now focus on the BUY OUT BOSSIER campaign.

3) Help us trend #BuyOutRunAwaySlave. #Resist44 is heading it up tomorrow, kudos to Matt Perdie and Justin Charters!

4) Invite all of your conservative friends to this Facebook event page using the ‘Invite Friends’ link at the top.

VIDEO: IRS Harrasment of Tea Party Groups #WAR

Americans may think that tax dax is behind them, but not if you are a local tea party organizer or group. Your problems with the IRS are just beginning.

In contrast to the made up #WarOnWomen, there is a very real #WarOnTheTeaParty being waged by Obama administration, via the IRS.

Over the last several months tea party groups all over the country have been harassed by the IRS in a blatant campaign of intimidation. Luckily their plight has now come to the attention of the ACLJ who has taken their case and Congressmen like Tom McClintock.

It is time that Republicans all over the country that wish the support of tea party conservatives speak out forcefully and loudly against this abuse.

If Republicans choose to remain silent, in the face of this blatant attack on the rights of Americans to engage in political speech and organization, that too will speak volumes.

Pick a side.

Obama Edits the Constitution Again, Doesn’t Need Congress to Issue New Debt

According to Chuck Schumer the Obama administration is considering ignoring the Debt Limit.  It apparently believes that the 4th Section of  14th Amendment ratified in 1865 means something it does not.

It states in part:

“The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.”

Apparently the Obama Administration thinks that this means that “full faith and credit of the United States” can never be questioned and that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner can simply authorize the printing of more money ad infinitum.

Apparently, they missed or more likely just chose to ignore the clause which states that the debt must be “authorized by law.”  If the debt which the Treasury issues, is not authorized by law, it will certainly be questioned, whether Obama likes it or not.

I feel certain Congress will have something to say about this course of action.  Failure to stand up for their Constitutional obligation to authorize the public debt, means that the People will certainly make their voice heard on the subject.

Missouri Education Watchdog: What Should the Federal Government Do About Education?.

Here is a link to a great blog on education, and a fantastic video which is the best 2:10 seconds you will spend today.  Please share it widely and make sure to leave your comments as to what you think about the ideas expressed in the video.

Capitalists v. Capitolists

In civilized life, law floats in a sea of ethics. Each is indispensable to civilization. Without law, we should be at the mercy of the least scrupulous; without ethics, law could not exist.

Earl Warren

I remember first hearing this quote from my American History and Government teacher in high school and it has always stuck with me.  I found it tumbling around inside my head recently after viewing all the pictures from the One Nation rally.

There is no doubt that it was a much smaller affair than the Glenn Beck event.As we can tell from these comparison photos:

But I think we can be lulled into a false sense of security based on these pictures. As I alluded to yesterday in my post “The End of the Beginning” I fully expect the Left to become much more enthusiastic over the next year as the legislative battle becomes fully joined.

What I think are much more revealing actually are the photos of litter all over the Mall.

(Click on the Picture to See More Photos.)

I chose this image rather than the pictures of the Socialist Party banners because what I want to talk about today is the ETHICS of the two different sides of the political debate.

The first side of this debate is dominated by the Capitalists.  The founders believed that Capitalism was the only truly moral form of economic and political order as it values the individual over the state. While I found Beck’s rally at times heavy-handed, he is right in one crucial respect. We must become a more ethical country.  We must value virtue in individuals rather than celebrity or wealth.  And when we become a more ethical country we will find the question of whom to vote for a simple task.

This is already happening as we see the laws the current congress is passing not able to be borne up by the ethical values of the nation.  As the tea party movement continues to educate Americans on the true foundational ethic of liberty and the individual responsibility which goes along with it, increasingly more and more bad laws both past and present will begin to sink beneath the waves and founder on rocky shoals of electoral enlightenment.

Those that oppose us however as we can see from the detritus of their rally are the Capitolists. They do not value the individual, but support the idea that all power and economic decisions should be made in the Capitol.  Which is why they have little investment in the values which are enshrined in our monuments.  Their ethic is precisely the opposite of the what those monuments stand for and their litter is actually a perfect metaphor for their political position:  “It’s not my responsibility to clean up our country, it’s the federal government’s.”

Law is always based on an ethic.  Do we want our laws to be based on a Capitalist ethic or a Capitolist ethic?  That is our choice.

Find the ethical voice inside yourself, and vote accordingly.
