LET FREEDOM RING

June 29th, 2010 |

I would like to start with a history lesson. A lesson of people, who came to this land as convicts, slaves, and people looking for religious freedom. Their countries were glad to get rid of them because it relieved the tension in their societies. they came from nothing to build a new life for themselves and their families. When they achieved success, outside forces in the name of government stepped in to control the lives of these men and women, who had already learned to govern themselves. They were forced to pay tariffs and taxes to a government that had abandoned them, except for the fact of conquering a new land. they resisted more taxes and tariffs were imposed to fuel their machine and tensions came in the form of martial law and more taxes were implemented, but still they resisted the powers. A group of men in America assembled against government orders, on March 23,1775 in Virginia. A man came forth and spoke. The mans name was Patrick Henry. His speech makes you wonder where is the line drawn between the free exercise of natural rights and permission granted by the ruling authority. He said” they tell us, sir, that we are weak. When will we be stronger? Will it be when we are totally disarmed. When a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution or inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying on our backs supinely and hugging the delusive phantom of hope until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?” “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as it be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?” As he stood like a condemned slave chained and awaiting his fate. Then he raised his chained hands to the heavens and prayed “Forbid it Almighty God!” He kneeled down to the ground and said “I know not what course others may take but as for me” as he rose through clenched teeth he said “Give me liberty” and as he passed his hand across his heart with a dagger-like motion said “or give me death.” If you have never read this it is awe inspiring but it seems we are in the same or similar situation with the government, not asking but taxing as it sees fit to fulfill their needs not caring about ours and feeding us lies, half-truths and fallacies that the media has lead us to believe. That is where Mark Hamilton differs because I feel that his beliefs are honest and caring. When Neo-think came into my life I was total disarray my thoughts were negative and self-destructive but Mark Hamilton with his manuscripts has helped me to believe in myself that I am capable of making my own decisions. That I have the ability to achieve great things through hard work, dedication and integration. He has shown compassion for his fellow man. For that I could never thank him enough. The Neo-think Society is a group of like-minded people from all around the world, who help each other to make this country and the world a better place. Our group instills confidence and tries to make life bearable and the world a better place to live by our actions. The Twelve Visions Party is my vision for the American people to have a better life. As the Preamble states “The purpose of human life is to prosper and live happily. The fact is its constitution will not allow a person group or government to use unitary force, fraud or coercion against individual’s self, property or contract. Force is morally and legally justified against all violators. This to me is a government for all the people. I do believe that Patrick Henry would approve of this if he were alive today but be appalled of what we have allowed our government to turn into.
