Southwest Ohio Liberty Conference Wrap Up

Posted on December 3, 2009 by | Leave a comment

The Southwest Ohio Liberty Conference held on November 21 was a huge success. Even the Ohio State – Michigan game wasn’t able to keep away those who understand just how dire the times are for our nation as a republic, said event coordinator Andy Myers.

The first speaker, Mr. Harold Thomas of The Ohio Republic Blog, gave a incredible powerpoint presentation outlining the “true” history of states’ rights and debunked the idea of secession as something that should be looked upon as taboo. Harold took the audience on a exciting historical journey that began with the Magna Carta (1215) continued through the formation of our national compact and the civil war between the states and ended in our present “Empire,” which shows how states are now merely “tools” of federal government run amok. Thomas concluded that states must enforce their 9th and 10th amendment powers before it is too late.

Jason Rink, co-founder of the Ohio Freedom Alliance, also used a powerpoint presentation to educate the audience on Free Market Capitalism and the cause as well as effects of how we got to where we are today. Beginning with currency based on a gold standard to the current paper currency solely based on the arbitrary standard of government edict, the government created a monetary system through which the wealth of many has been transferred to few. Now as then inflation is still the primary means. During his in-depth presentation, Rink showed how central bankers such as the private Federal Reserve through inflation and a fiat or paper currency have consistently debased the value of our nations wealth. That is why he and other like him are working hard to effect the return of a gold and silver backed currency. Ohio Honest Money Act is one of their efforts to make it reality.

Kevin Cullinane who built and runs The Freedom Mountain Academy rounded out the conference with some good old common sense and true world history. “History is a good teacher of truth” said Mr. Cullinane, “the problem is with those who would like to see our freedoms destroyed have been working hard in subverting true world history.” Trained by the First Special Forces Group in psychological warfare and head instructor of the 1st Marine Division’s counter-insurgency school, Kevin explained how ideas and philosophies have been “turned on their heads” over the centuries to get patriotic Americans to “worship the state” instead of choosing true liberty. From the “Pledge of Allegiance” originally composed by socialist Francis J. Bellamy to the Communist Manifesto’s 10th plank; “state controlled education,” Kevin methodically exposed how many of principles of what was once a free republic being destroyed by infiltrators from within.

Many people in attendance said they would like to see another conference held soon.

Many also appreciated having State Representative Jarrod Martin (R-70) and County Commissioner Marylin Reid present for the celebration of Liberty. These events are for everyone including our elected officials,” said Ohio Freedom Alliance Regional Coordinator Andy Meyers.

Xenia Leaf Pick Up Schedule

Posted on November 23, 2009 by | Leave a comment

City workers will pick up leafs only once (not twice) this year. That’s the thanks taxpayers get for electing federal politicians who create recessions and for not voting to increase city taxes.

Be that as it may, if you want your leafs picked up by city workers, you must first rack them into piles along the curb. You must also keep vehicles a minimum of 10 feet away from your pile during the entire week of the scheduled pick up in your area (Monday-Friday). Last but not least, leaf piles must contain nothing but leafs–trees, tree limbs, old siding, appliances, furniture, bikes, cars, or any other objects.

The [remaining] lead pick up schedule is as follows:

Nov 17-23
Neighbors west of US35 Bypass including New Arrowhead, Windsor Park, Reserve of Xenia, Sterling Green and Wright Cycles Estates. (Zone 2)

Nov 20-Dec 4
Southeast section from Church St. and continuing south to include East End, South End, South Hill and Old Arrowhead east of US 35 Bypass. (Zone 3)

Dec 7-11
All of Laynewood neighborhoods and the neighborhoods that include Charles, Maple and Center Streets. (Zone 4)

To see a map of zones and streets, see the city’s map or list.

This is a one-shot deal. So, leaf owners make the best of it.

Celebrating Liberty

Posted on November 18, 2009 by | Leave a comment

By Andy Myers

The worst decision you can make is to think that you can do so little that you do nothing at all.

That is why the Ohio Freedom Alliance will present The Southwest Ohio Liberty Conference, a unique speaker’s forum celebrating the true spirit and timeless traditions of Liberty, Honest Money and State Sovereignty. These 3 ideals are critical to the success of placing America back on the path to greatness. We need to reevaluate our philosophy of what freedom truly is. While many profess to be freedom loving Americans, they only advocate those freedoms they favor and fail to defend those freedoms they are at odds with. The concept of freedom today is wholly at odds with natural law, a concept of freedom found in the Declaration of Independence. The founders knew very well the implications of respecting natural law and used its intent vigorously in proposing our republican form of government We also neeed honest money to prosper. That is to say money produced without violating fraud laws, e.g., gold and silver. This has been a principle widely misunderstood by those who profess to be pro-liberty. The evidence is irrefutable and the theory is sound that fiat, or paper money has been the root cause of all the financial crisis in history. Honest interpretation of world history is a great teacher and proves without a doubt that private central bankers and governments are poor stewards of a nations wealth. Today the dollar is worth about $0.04 in comparison to its value in 1913 before the Federal Reserve Act was illegally passed by Congress. We also would be wise to remember the maxim that a government which governs least governs best. The bloated government headquartered in Washington, D.C. should make any freedom loving citizen cringe with disbelief and fear. There is practically nothing you can do, from getting married, to selling lemonade without first getting some kind of permit and then paying the applicable fees before enjoying your pursuit of happiness. With our rulers favorite control mechanism the general welfare clause (intolerable act) , and just plain disregard of article 1 section 8 of the Constitution, our 3 branches of government (and a slew of unconstitutional bureaucracies), is now our servant become master. It is time for citizens to challenge their state representatives and push for Ohio’ State Soveriengty Resolution. It is time for our state government to nullify unconstitutional laws and regulations to protect its citizens. It is time to reestablish the proper role of states taking care of it’s own affairs. A Revolution is here whether you know it or not. Albeit a peaceful one for now, it is this generation who has whether they claim it or not, been given the responsibility of reclaiming what is rightfully theirs. Someday, this generation may too garner the title “the greatest generation”, if we are able to restore the blessings of liberty to a nation still worthy of it.

The Southwest Ohio Liberty Conference, sponsored by the Ohio Freedom Alliance, will feature lectures on sound money, state’s rights and individual liberty. The event is open to the public, with a suggested donation of $10 per person to defray costs. The doors open at 1:00 p.m. on November 21st for networking and light refreshments, and speakers will address the audience from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Beavercreek Golf Club is just minutes from the Mall at Fairfield Commons, at 2800 New Germany-Trebein Road in Beavercreek, Ohio.

Continental Congress 2009 Update

Posted on November 16, 2009 by | Leave a comment

Today is the sixth day of the Continental Congress being held in St. Charles, Illinois.

Elected delegates from all 50 states convened to address the repeated abuses of power by the federal government. Those ongoing abuses include violations of the Constitution’s tax, money, war, general welfare, privacy and other clauses that are at the heart of the conditions that now plague our nation. Repeated attempts to address and correct those violations of the U.S. Constitution have been rebuffed or ignored by Congress and federal courts. As our national existence began, repeated attempts to redress our grievances has failed.

Ohio is represented in the effort to lawfully and peacefully resolve the ending crimes against the only safe-guard of our freedom, rights, and government limited to the rule of law.

According to Friday’s news,

Delegates, realizing they have little time and trying to accomplish as much as possible are forming committees. They are working hard, and resting little. They are dedicated and determined. They are going into “overtime,” and working hours outside of the schedule.

Ohio Delegate, Ron Dickerhoof, is part of the People’s Action Caucus. They are working hard on recommendations for the public to declare their rights and inform their neighbors. Jim Davis, First Delegate, Ohio, along with other states, is progressing toward presenting information on the 14th amendment and independent grand juries. Both are part of organized groups who are working hard to fulfill the tasks they came to achieve. Although they are making progress, it may take some time before they have the opportunity to thoroughly lay out their ideas to the public.

I think Ohio has reason to be proud of all of our delegates. Unlike our paid representatives, they are all determined to fulfill their promises and to serve the People. They want to do what they believe they were elected for.

Thank God for people who still love God’s gift of liberty as bequeathed to us by the Puritans, Quakers, Catholics, and Jews of 1776….

Semi-Annual Hydrant Flushing Week, Oct. 19-13

Posted on October 17, 2009 by | Leave a comment

A few weeks ago I bought a bar of soap imported from Jordan. That is the foreign county Jordan, which also possesses a slice of the Jordan River. Actually, I didn’t buy the soap because of exotic origins. I bought it because it contain salt and mud from the Jordan River.

Why would anyone buy a soap with mud in it, you ask?

Well, out of curiosity. I wanted to know what it was like to wash with soap containing salt and mud from notorious Jordan River.

I quickly discovered that bathing with Jordan mud soap eventually began to smell and taste like … well … like salty mud.

Imagine that!

Xenia resident will get a change to see, feel and taste muddy water this week, October 19-23. Why? Because this is the semi-annual fire hydrant flushing week. Whenever the city flushes out the hydrants, the water turn muddy brown.

If you want to find out what water mixed with salt and mud from the Jordan River is like, just add some sea salt to your glass of water, cup of coffee, tea, or you bath and enjoy.

So that you’all won’t miss out on a muddy Jordan River like experience, I have included the city’s fire hydrant flushing schedule below. City workers will begin flushing hydrants at 8:30AM and end at 3:00 PM.

Mon. 10/19: North of W. Church St., North of Market St. and North of W. Main St. and West of N. Detroit St. (Beverly Hills, Timber Ridge and Laynewood Plats)
Tues. 10/20: West of St. Rt. 35 and Northwest of Bellbrook Ave. (The Colorado Sections of Arrowhead, Sterling Green, Childers and the Reserve of Xenia)
Wed. 10/21: North of East Church St. and East of N. Detroit St. including Amlin
Heights and Old Springfield Pike. (Stadium Heights and Greene Memorial Hospital Areas)
Thur. 10/22: South of Main Street, East of US 35 and North of Bellbrook Ave. South of Church Street and North of Third Street, East to the Corporation Limit.
Fri. 10/23: South of E. Third Street and East of Cincinnati Ave. Also included is Wright Cycle Estates.

Warning: Washing clothes and other stainable materials is not recommended while water is muddy. Letting your water softener recycle could prolong the fabulously muddy experience. Too much of a strangely good thing could not turn out to be such a good thing.

The same can be said of washing with muddy Jordan soap–trust me.

Mural Art One Step Closer to Reality

Posted on August 21, 2009 by | Leave a comment

The four finalists have turned in their finished artwork and now it is up to the judges to decide which design is going to be the first one to grace a building in Xenia next year. The problem now is going to be deciding which three are going to need to find other homes. The judges are asking the citizens of Xenia to take a look at the four colorful and inspired designs that they must choose from and give them some comments. The artwork will be on display at this Saturday’s Xenia Rail and Arts Fest at the Inner I Gallery, 81 E. Main Street where they will share the spotlight with the Fest’s extensive model railroad setups. “I would love to see any of these great designs go up,” says Mural Society member Mary Crockett. Fourteen entries were received by the Society in July. The four finalists are Xenia muralist and teacher Paul Lavigne, local muralist and art instructor Olivia Anderson, Xenia Community Schools art teacher Rob Richards, and local gallery owner Karen King.

“I know I would love to have any one of these pictures on the side of my building,” says member Alan King, owner of the Express Yourself Coffeehouse and Art Gallery and one of the potential hosts for a future mural. “The Montgomery Insurance and Investments building was the Society’s logical first choice for a mural site,” says King. “It has great exposure and Brad and Eric Montgomery are willing to do what they can to help make this happen.” The winner of the $500 first prize for mural design will be announced at Xenia’s Old Fashioned Days on Sept. 19. Plans are underway to solicit bids from potential muralists to complete the work and private and corporate sponsors are being sought to help the building owners complete the project. Murals on this scale can cost from $5000 to $15,000 to complete, depending on the building condition and the muralist’s fees. The mural Society will retain ownership of the mural and the design and the owner will have to agree to maintain the work for at least 10 years. “We want to have about 10 of these murals up in Xenia some day,” says King. “We know that raising funds for this will be hard, but we think that the people of Xenia will get behind this project and make it happen.” The Xenia Mural Society is a component of Greene Giving, the Greene County Community foundation and has received assistance from the Ohio Arts Council in organizing.

Activist and Candidate Training by American Majority

Posted on August 21, 2009 by | Leave a comment

Candidate and Activist Training Seminars American Majority (AM), in conjunction with Citizens for Community Values (CCV), is bringing their Candidate and Activist Training Seminar to Otterbein College in Greater Columbus on August 22.

Do you want to make a difference in your community? Your positions and views are sound. You know it. But – how do you communicate those views outside your own small circle of personal friends? How can you make a difference in your community, your state, your nation?

Have you ever thought about running for office? You have the time, the desire, and the qualifications to run for that office – city council, school board, township trustee, county commissioner, whatever! But – you lack the technology, the know-how, the funding.

If either of these fit you, then this seminar is a must!

Considered by many to be one of the the nation’s premiere providers of conservative political training, AM’s professional staff is dedicated to providing people from all walks of life, and from all levels of experience and skill, the tools they need to make a positive difference in the culture.
