"Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it." - Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence
Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot!!
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow!!!
On the Fifth of November, 1605, a group of Catholic freedom fighters, or terrorists from the monarch's perspective, attempted to blow up the aristocratic House of Lords and King James I due to relentless religious persecution. Guy Fawkes, a former soldier and demolition expert, was caught below Parliament with 800 kilograms (1760 pounds) of gunpowder. Guy was tortured for days to divulge the names of his other conspirators, then sentenced to be hanged, then drawn and quartered. Rather than suffer the ripping apart of his body by horses, Fawkes jumped into the air and snapped his neck.
The King ordered that every year thereafter effigies of Fawkes were to be burned in effigy as a reminder to all to never commit treason against the State. In fact, the term "guy" used in speech for a person originated from this effigy of Fawkes, which was called a "Guy." In 2006, the movie V for Vendetta starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving was released based on a graphic novel set in the future with a mysterious man wearing a mask who endeavors to free the people from an oppressive police state.
While I advocate a peaceful revolution in people's minds, many challenge me, claiming that the United States of America is not a totalitarian regime. I certainly agree we do not live in Maoist China, but we are on a far more slippery slope than many believe, due in great part to the ineptitude of the mainstream media.
Many Americans do not realize that Iraq veterans peacefully marched on the last McBama presidential debate last fall and were attacked by mounted police, and one veteran had his skull crunched and could have died.
With the passing of the USA PATRIOT Act after 9/11, any financial transaction over $10,000 is reported to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a sub-branch of the Treasury Department, as possible criminal or terrorist activity.
Section 6050 of HR 3221, passed in 2008, authorizes the IRS to view every single credit card transaction made by every single individual in the United States without a warrant or informing the individual.
In 2008, Republican President George Bush signed into law HR 6304. Title 8, Section 801 of this bill gave private companies legal immunity to commit warrantless wiretapping on any phone or email communication from any American citizen. As a result, everyone is a criminal suspect without probable cause or warrant issued by a court of law.
In February 2009, Democrat President Barack Obama signed into law HR 1, otherwise known as the Obama Stimulus Plan. Sub Title A Section 3001 commits the federal government to keeping full electronic medical record of each individual by 2014 where it may be accessed from any government computer terminal of many federal departments, even including the FDIC which insures bank deposits. Do you want your private health history information on a bad heart, psychological records, medication records viewable to any government bureaucrat? This is a massive violation of patient privacy!
As Jefferson wrote, for these violations and countless more, We the People must struggle against this collection of bureaucrat rogues who have demonstrated no desire to have a constitutional republic based on the rule of law. The mental misfits of Congress who award bailout after bailout and are willing sponsors of state-sponsored corporatism must be removed from power.
One year ago this November 5th, a brave man running for President proclaimed to the nation, "Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected, once it is realized that our Liberties and our Wealth are in Jeopardy." He went on to raise $4.2 million from 35,000 donors in a single day, setting a fundraising record. Efforts by Establishment candidates Obama, Huckabee, McCain and others to copy this event failed miserably. One month later, the same man raised over $6 million from 58,407 donors in a single day, shattering his own record.
Just as Dr. Ron Paul did, I peacefully rise and say that I too object to this monstrous federal government that fritters away our civil liberties as it they were garbaged, has engaged in multiple preemptive, undeclared wars of aggression, and debased the nation's currency by the insidious acts of the Federal Reserve.
We the Peopleof the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Hi Jake,
Invoking the name of Ron Paul to capitalize on the example he sets for the world is underhanded and manipulative.
I view this as an attempt to prey on the ignorance of people who do not understand that the most important aspect of Dr. Paul's political example is his courage to stand in the fray and go toe-to-toe with his opponents. As a Republican he threatens to wrest control of the party from the enemies of liberty.
Heckling those same GOP leaders from the safety of the sandbox, even if you should win your election, is all about your ego and nothing about the defense of liberty. You chose to abandon the most powerful political tool available into the hands of the enemies of liberty. That behavior has not the makings of a champion in my view and should never be encouraged through emotional appeals to the politically timid.
With the next election less than a year away I will be more vigilent from here on out to point out the difference between you and Ron Paul every time you attempt to captialize on his strong work in the name of your personal aspirations. It is simply not fair to mislead your potential supporters with this tactic of invoking the good Dr. Paul's name. You choose political self-marginalization of your own free will. I think it is important for each and every of your potential supporters to be afforded that same right, free of manipulation and emotion-tugging coincidences you rely upon.

Dear Jahfre Fire Eater -
You are entitled to your opinion, and I well understand your thinking on the Republican party from your prior articles. The campaign is not about my ego, its about the message and completing the campaign's mission. But obviously you can write what you wish. http://towneforcongress.com/mission/mission-statement
I will also add that there are some details about the race of which you are unaware that would probably alter your opinion if you knew them. You can contact me privately via email if you are curious as I will not be writing them down.
I look forward to your future feedback, and thanks for the comment, I know you are doing what you can to spread the message of liberty.
When I refer to Dr. Paul as an example, I will give some consideration to adding a disclaimer of non-endorsement in the future - I did forget to add the usual disclaimer on this article that I am running as an independent, and will add it in a sec.
