Hey folks, this is the biggest project I have ever tried to take on. I am very excited and we are receiving more positive feedback than I thought possible. If you are interested in helping out, we’d love to have you on board! Please help spread this far and wide! We need all the help we can get (emotional, spiritual, financial, time, energy, people, contacts, etc…).

If the man didn’t like me before…… haha

Shoulder to shoulder we stand, in Liberty,

Announcing: Operation Defuse, 2010 the year of fusion centers

I am pleased to announce that the Liberty Restoration Project has partnered with Texans for Accountable Government to literally take the police state head on.

After attending the Continental Congress of 2009 John Bush, executive director of TAG, and myself realized that our movement is not aware of the intrusive and destructive relationship between DHS and our local/state law enforcement.

You see, DHS has found a back door way to both militarize and federalize every level of law enforcement, and through these “fusion centers”, all levels of law enforcement basically become pledged to the war on terror.

If 2009 was the year of the Federal Reserve, we intend to make sure 2010 is the year of the Fusion Center – educating every activist in our movement and exposing their fraud against the American people.

Learn more about our initiative here: www.operationdefuse.com

This project will involve:

1. Visit every fusion center in the nation, interviewing staff for our new radio show Rise Up Radio (on micro broadcasts in cities all across the midwest including Stl, OKC, and Austin starting January 1!!!!!!).

2. Coordinate simultaneous open records requests to every fusion center in the country during National Sunshine week in March.

3. Conduct community forums in each state to educate the public while building harmonious relationships with local law enforcement (humanize) – these will be live streamed.

4. Provide a central location for each state to display their open records documents… a Patriot Fusion Center of our own www.libertyrestorationproject.org/wiki

5. Filming for a documentary on fusion centers.

How you can help!

If you want to help out in anyway please consider becoming an Operation Defused sponsor or even the coordinator for your state .

The dollars and cents:

Our biggest expense will be gas and food – So far we have arranged free housing accommodations at every location we have pursued (thank you)! We know how to stretch a dollar, every penny will help. (You can donate to our chipin @ http://operationdefuse.com/) Thank you Cissy for being the first to sponsor us!

We’re also in need of a donated or loaned scanner we can take on the trip to immediately upload any documents we get, a Verizon Wireless air-card so we can live stream our events and our radio show, and a donated or loaned GPS so we don’t get lost on the road! The full estimated cost break down will be posted shortly only our website.

Save the Date Austin: December

Our second event will be held in Austin, TX on December 28th. TAG will be holding their annual Christmas party at Bagpipes Pub and Brewery where we will kick off the Southern tour of “Operation Defuse”.

“Operation Defuse” Southern Tour

During the week between Christmas and New years, Catherine Bleish and John Bush plan to visit every fusion center in Texas. On January 4the we will be testifying in the Austin City Council hearing on fusion centers and then we will take off for our next stop, Phoenix. We will be driving through the south hitting fusion centers in AZ, OK, LA, GA, AL, MS, TX and, of course, MO.

Keep an eye on www.operationdefuse.com for the official dates/event locations as they develop.

“Operation Defuse” Missouri

Kevin Kobe, KC Area Director for LRP will be coordinating the Missouri components of Operation Defuse. In February we plan to hold mirror MIAC hearings in the same cities our legislature held theirs. Because LRP feels their report was nothing more than a whitewash, we intend to take liberty loving state rep candidates across the state of Missouri so they may listen to the public and develop a strategy to combat the intrusive nature of fusion centers once in office. We will be inviting law enforcement, the media and the general public to contribute. The goal is to live stream these events on the web.

I can guarantee you the report out of this liberty-candidate committee will NOT be a white wash.

You can learn more by visiting www.operationdefuse.com

Thank you all for your support – I can’t wait to experience liberty in OUR lifetime!

Shoulder to shoulder we stand,

Catherine

Freedom reaches across party lines.

Since declaring my candidacy to represent NM’s 3rd Congressional district, I have learned a lot about partisan politics. When people ask me, “What party are you?” I immediately answer Republican, but many times, I get dirty looks. I often follow up with, “But I’m not a party line guy, and the GOP has seriously lost its way. What I’ve learned from folks around here, is that the bases of both parties are so grossly misrepresented by the national leadership, we have more in common with each other than anyone in Washington.” Because so many Americans are disgusted by national politics, our campaign’s message of honoring the Constitution to restore individual rights and push power locally is resonating across the board.

While Democrats are drunk with power and spending us deeper into debt, the national leadership of the Republican Party fails to offer a principled alternative and pretends to forget the irresponsible spending supported by Republicans. Now only rarely do we hear any Republican member of Congress addressing issues from the perspective of the Constitution. When anyone advocates policy that is contrary to that document, it is a slap in the face to every active duty service member and veteran like myself, who swore the same oath to the Constitution that members of Congress do when they take office.

Meanwhile, the Republican leadership is imposing litmus tests on candidates based on divisive wedge issues. This is a sure-fire way to ensure the GOP becomes a permanent minority party. It would be far more powerful, to ask for simple integrity and demand a commitment to honor the oath of office, vote the Constitution, and be faithful to the principles of freedom behind it. As Pat Buchanan said, “The Republican Party needs to stop trying to be all things to all people, and instead be one thing to all people.” That one thing must be freedom.

We should not be running our party from the top down, demanding specific policy positions, but rather from the ground up, as the inclusive party of big tent, smaller government. If we are going to bring people into the big tent, we cannot support leaders who erect walls to keep people out. We need leadership that will stand tall on principle to prop it up.

I am PROUD to say Missouri overturned real ID as well. Indeed, the feds intend to stop folks who do not have a National Real ID card from boarding planes, opening bank accounts, or going into federal buildings. Will they really try to pull this with Missouri Residents and over 1/2 the states in the union?

I look forward to them trying. Maybe then we’ll end the TSA and federal flying regulations? What will they do shoot down planes that are flying residents from states who did not comply with Real ID?

hmmmm

Because of New Mexico's non-compliance with Real ID, federal agencies will be prohibited from accepting after Dec. 31 a New Mexico driver's license or other state-issued identification cards as an “official” document to access federal facilities, board federally regulated commercial aircraft or enter nuclear power plants.

New Mexico residents will essentially be considered foreigners as of Jan. 1.
