Is history repeating? In 1775, just after the “shot heard ’round the world” was fired in Lexington, a rider set out to tell the colonists that the War for Independence had begun for real. My great, great… uncle, Maj. Gen. Israel Putnam, left his plow in the field and, without changing clothes, rode 100 miles in 18 hours from Pomfret, CT to Cambridge, MA to muster Connecticut troops and combat the Siege of Boston. Now, in our time, the liquidators of our liberty are set against us and we need the same kind of urgency. The 2008 election was our Lexington and Concord and the 2010′s were our Bunker Hill. We served the Statists notice but we fell short of men and munitions to complete the job. Now the elections of 2012 are before us. We must muster an army of Constitutional Conservatives to push back the progressive Democrats & Republicans and restore our federal government to it’s proper jurisdiction as enumerated in Article I, Section 8 of our Constitution if we are to save the Republic. Consider the words of Gen. Washington:
“The time is now near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves, whether they are to have property they can call their own…. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance…. We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die. Our own county’s honor calls upon us…. Let us, therefore, rely upon the Goodness of our cause, and the aid of the Supreme Being… to… encourage us to great and noble actions. The eyes of all our countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings and praises if, happily; we are the instrument of saving them from the tyranny meditated against them. Let us, therefore,… show the whole world that a freeman contending for LIBERTY on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.” Address to the Continental Army before the Battle of Long Island, 27 August, 1776
Putnam’s Patriots know the strategies that will restore our Constitutional Republic. But, will “good men do nothing” – succumbing to the temptation to sit in our warm homes watching American Idol (or even Fox News) or will they commit to using this time to prepare adequate ammunition for the next battle? Will you wait until the spring of 2012 and then become a “summer soldier”? If you do, it will be too late. Important events happen in February and March of 2012 which require planning and engagement NOW if victory is to be ours on November 6, 2012.

Listen to Patrick Henry’s challenge to live free or die
“Give me liberty or give me death.” (audio clip 2:35)
“And when servile Fraud stalks through the land, and Genius starves in his cell,
while upstart Imbecility rides abroad in chariots;
when man is degenerate, public faith is broken, and public honor violated,
then we will wander forth into the awful shadows of the Past;
and from the skeletons of the battle-fields evoke the spirits of that giant time,
calling upon their forms of unreal majesty for the mighty secret
which made them the man-gods of that era of High Deeds
and Glorious Purposes.
From Legends of the Revolution by George Lippard, 1847
