You cannot change the national or even most state governments via election, Ron Paul taught us that if nothing else... than men on white horses are NOT going to save us.
No: I'm talking about changing you, then getting others like-minded and together you don't hide and sockpile, you hide your stockpile and either yourselves or those willing to act publicly raise a full slate of candidates for YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
The Battle of Athens was started by such an election campaign. A single man going in even winning, won't change anything because he's one office, one vote and all the crooks will circle the wagons. You have to sweep them all out.
Really, it would take all the like-minded Patriots in a area to concentrate on one town register to vote there, campaign to get the desired results. At least at first...
Imagine a town that didn't tax, didn't have corrupt cops, had laws and courts that respected Sovereigns, treated everyone as Sovereign, encouraged and protected local entrepreneurs, farmers, co-ops.
Imagine the positive press the Patriot Movement could get if they accomplished their goals in ONLY ONE TOWN and ADVERTISED THE RESULTS.
Beats standing by yourself or your scattered and isolated group when the enemy comes to rob and kill you. What has been SOP for the movement obviously doesn't work.
I've been writing about this since 2005. All my original essays are pretty much about this strategy. Ron Paul and Alex Jones are NOT going to save us, only we can.
