Hope is not lost. We need to fight Agenda 21 harder than ever, and here's the battleplan: Secession. Yes, it's devastating that it's come to this, but there's no repairing the election process going forward. We've waited things out hoping a miracle would happen, and it hasn't come. This leaves us with only one option: To preserve our liberty, we must dissolve our country. It doesn't have to be bloody. It doesn't have to mean war. It may come to that, but we will not fire the first shot. Here's how to make it happen: 1. Action. Melt your legislature's phone lines. Texas has to get the ball rolling. They've started the process by drafting a bill proposing secession. Now we need to get behind it. Call your state officials in the congress and senate. Demand they draft legislation backing Texas' withdrawal from the Union. It's an easy first step for them, because it's fundamentally meaningless. But it sends a strong message to the population that secession is possible. It puts the idea in their minds. There has to be a certain degree of salesmanship at work, here. Federal officials will be probably be useless in this fight, as it means losing their seat of power. No one will willingly give that up, unless they believe they'll get something greater in return. 2. Petition. Once resolutions start passing in support of Texas, or if legislatures refuse to cooperate, the second stage is petitioning. Start gathering signatures on petitions calling for the formation of a new coalition of states. Our goal here needs to be a constitutional convention of states willing to consider separation from the union. This part will be much easier with the official backing of a few state legislatures, which is why we go through step 1 first. These petitions ideally will call for special elections to be held for representatives to be sent to the convention. Word the petition as though it's a done deal, and we're merely asking for people to have a voice in choosing their representative. 3. Convention. The purpose of this first convention is a simple vote to secede or remain in the union, with the addendum that seceding from the union would trigger Federal elections for the new government, and hammering out rules for said election. It's vital that the representatives here be on board, and this is where things get potentially dangerous. If we reach this point, the seal is likely broken and a new nation will be formed. After the convention, the representatives should return to their respective states and report the results of the convention to the governor and state congress. 4. Election. The fourth stage is Federal elections for representatives to be selected for the purpose of drafting a new constitution to bind the states together in alliance. These representatives should be willing to critically examine the founding documents of the United States of America, but not make substantive changes beyond repairing our electoral process, establishing a sane financial system and shoring up our essential liberties. 5. Recognition. This should be happening concurrent with the election process. Ambassadors will be appointed to key nations, seeking to establish diplomatic relations. Russia, Mexico and Brazil are likely candidates for official recognition. I'm certain several more will be identified between now and then. Recognition gives our nation legitimacy. Ambassadors should also work to establish our nation's credit until our financial system is firmly in place. This is the process we must work through going forward. I believe it will succeed. China wants to become the world power. Let them. They will collapse within a generation. If the United States fractures, they have no reason to try to stop it from happening. They will turn their attention toward the Middle East, instead. A coalition of states with a nuclear arsenal will be sufficient deterrent to avoid direct invasion. I don't care for power, on the world stage or otherwise. This new nation will not have the influence of the old, but it will have something far more fundamental: liberty. This is how we preserve our freedom. We must hang together, or we will surely all hang separately.
