I just sent this email

to Gene Chapman in response to his latest blog. I don't think he will mind me sharing it with you all.

Dear Gene,

Once again, you are right on target! Most of us seem to belong to We The People but at the same time we all seem to be alone when our individual fights with Big Brother start up. Just like the folks that you mentioned in your blog. The questions is, what do we do about it? How DO we pull us all together?

There are several of us right out of the chute that disagree with tactics, etc. One that I note with you and Rick Stanley. To bear arms or not to settle these ever growing government entanglements. Frankly, I feel if we don't get some relieve from the government pressures that we've come to know in a civil manner soon, picking up arms will be the only solution.

There are amazing human beings involved in the freedom/patriot movement. From all walks of life, with all sorts of interesting and helpful, useful skill sets. Like yourself, we try to help those in need (financially and spiritually) ala Rose Lear, Gene Chapman, Dick Simkanin, Larken Rose, Irwin Schiff and many, many others. We pray for them, send money when we can, agree with them, speak out with them and help whenever and wherever we can. But we are still fragmented in the overall scheme of things it seems.

So what do you think? What is your best guess? Should we try to build We The People even bigger, help Allen Hacker more with UnlawfulGov.Org, enlighten, encourage, further support Gene Chapman in spring '04 in Atlanta on a national lmedia level if we can, lean Rick Stanley's way? Schiff's way? Larken Rose's way? Joe Banister's way? ?????

I ask you in all sincerity just what you feel we should be doing. Because we may as well be posing for the D.C. snipers of note if we continue to stand individually as we are. I think one of the problems is that we are all fighting this fight all the while trying to survive (financially). Surviving life obviously and definitely detracts from our freedom fight. That isn't an excuse, it's reality. I don't see any known millionaires, philanthropists and pro bono attorneys working with us much, if at all. And surely we need to find an "in" into the elitist mass media so we can finally get our word out to everyone.

So, Gene, what do you feel we should do so that we as individuals don't fall victim to criminal government actions? We can talk it to death but we must act in some positive way to help us gather more momentum and become the largest, most united group of people on the planet. Then we can really kick some criminal government butt!

As for me, I'm ready to go all out 110% - fulltime and a half (instead of 60%) as soon as I can find a way to survive (the bills of life's basic needs) AND fight all at the same time! I could be wrong but I think you will find a myriad of patriots who feel the same way.

I guess what I'm asking for here, looking for is some precise leadership, someone (maybe a philanthropist type) who will lead as our general through this war of tyranny. If that person is Bob Schultz, Irwin Schiff, Larken Rose, Joe Banister, Ms Jackson, one of our dear patriot bloggers or ??? You know, I don't really care who it is. But then we have got to see and hear more of him/her, concentrate on winning this war. We have got to figure out a way to build and maintain a substantial fortune to fight this war. We cannot let Banister, Simkanin, Lear or others die a slow judicial death by the sleight-of-hand of the DOJ and IRS.

Or we should all just shut our mouths and take whatever little crumbs the government chooses to hand us and settle for Socialist/Communism? Please let me know your thoughts.

Sincerely,

Jim Paulson
