Call for Delegates to the Third Southern National Congress

In the 11^th Century BC, the children of Israel were sorely oppressed by the Baal-worshipping Midianites.  But God raised up a champion, Gideon, the sixth of the great Judges of Israel.  No doubt you know the story, one of the best-loved in the Bible, found in Chapter 7 of the Book of Judges.  With only 300 picked men, Gideon routed the vastly superior army of Midian and its allies.  Israel lived in peace and liberty for forty years, until Gideon passed on to his fathers.  

In 480 BC, a greatly outnumbered force of Greek allies held off the invading army of Xerxes and his Persians at Thermopylae.  You know the story, for the heroic stand of the 300 Spartans who fought to the end is celebrated in recent films and books like “300” and the best-seller Gates of Fire.  This handful of Greek heroes changed the course of history, contributing to the ultimate defeat of the Persians and ensuring that freedom prevailed in the West instead of the despotism of the East.

Closer to our time and place, General Francis Marion, the immortal “Swamp Fox” of the America’s first War of Independence, waged a daring partisan campaign against the British invaders in South Carolina, tying down ten times his number of British Regulars and inspiring Patriot resistance in the darkest days of British conquest.  He seldom had more than 300 men under arms at any one time, yet his lightning raids and ambushes were a decisive element in the victory of American independence.

Ladies and gentlemen, America is in the throes of socialist and Marxist political upheaval. The curtain could fall at any time. The American people need to wake up to this truism: a “conservative” movement–even a conservative Tea Party movement–will not save us. The only thing that will save us is an old-fashioned State revolt.

Arizona had the opportunity to become a modern-day version of 1775 Massachusetts. But Arizona has probably forfeited that leadership role by 1) reelecting John McCain, and 2) being willing to allow federal courts to dictate law to a sovereign State. Instead of taking its case to the federal courts, Arizona should simply tell the federal government that it will enforce its own State laws (including the newly enacted anti-illegal immigration law) regardless of what any federal court says or doesn’t say. At some point, that is exactly what some State (or group of states) in this union is going to have to do, or liberty will be forever lost.

As long as freedom lovers are content to remain satisfied with the status quo by allowing party politics and media celebrities to dominate their efforts, there will be no stopping this socialist avalanche that is crashing down upon us. The Tea Party movement of 2010 (if left free of Big-Government neocons) could certainly translate into positive developments this November; that is for sure. A revival of the “Ron Paul Revolution” in 2012 could also make a significant contribution, but it is going to take a State revolution to seal the deal. I, for one, am ready.

We've been saying the same things for years. What used to be considered lunatic fringe is now mainstream news.

This is inevitable.  Here's where we're at today, but we weren't just 5 years ago:

14 States nullifying federal drug laws on marijuana
2 States nullifying federal gun laws
3 States nullifying the federal health care bill
Arizona (and others to follow) giving the finger to the feds on immigration
Oklahoma giving the finger to the feds on labor laws
More than 30 States passing 10th Amendment sovereignty resolutions

Where will we be in 5 years?  Or how about 10 years as the financial strains on Washington cause the union to splinter (the "Have" States telling the "Have-not" States to take a hike)?  Dissolution is inevitable on our current trajectory, and consequently our efforts must be focused on State legislatures (e.g. Montana, Arizona, Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, etc.) that are likely to fight D.C. in the years ahead.
