“Got Liberty?” ACTIVISTS HEADQUARTERS

ACTIVISTS HEADQUARTERS
Ready to serve the freedom activists from Arizona (for a very limited time)
Sometimes activists need a place to work,… simple as that.
(Please contact me directly at ernesthancock@cox.net
PLEASE contribute to this important project HERE)
Central Phoenix businesses
are being destroyed due to Light Rail construction. Business space is vacant up
and down the Central Corridor and else where along the route. This provides us
an opportunity.

The Western Libertarian Alliance is me,... and other individuals that are nothing more than
friends getting together to have fun and exercise their free speech in making a
point whenever it suits the individuals willing to participate. No committees, no scheduled meetings, no titles or shiny badges. Experience has
taught us that one of the most important factors in political activism is timing. Direct communication with
people is the most effective method of sharing concepts and when the time is
right you can have
a great impact on what is discussed in the political debates
of the day and you can even have a hand in moving the debate outside of the
ever shrinking envelope of political discourse.

I feel very strongly about the next 3 weeks and am motivated
to do something about it. I have shared my thoughts with close friends that
share my goals. Our combined individual efforts in support of a single
objective, for a limited time, means that we remain focused and have always
been successful. This project requires a large open space for about a month.
This North Central address has allowed us about 2500 square
feet of totally open area to accomplish many things. By Wednesday March 14th
we will have the location ready to begin volunteer work. Between now and then
several of us are constructing simple work stations. The 8 week lease has been signed and the power is turned on.
I share this with you all now because, in addition to asking
for your help with money, material and labor, 
I am making the space available to all that need a space to work
on simple projects in an effort to express themselves to the general
population. As long as your project is peaceful and does not involve the
destruction of property, I wish to make the space available. Since we will be
producing signs, posters and billboard size banners (why we needed the space)
others with similar projects are welcome to share (however I reserve the right
as the lessee to refuse entry to anyone for any reason, or no reason.
I have already made contact with Anti-War, 911 Truth,
Libertarian, Republican Constitutionalist, Democratic Election Integrity and
Civil Rights activists that are planning to make use of the space while it is
available and I can schedule time for them. I begin talk radio interviews on
the subject Tuesday the 13th and Tuesday morning I will have more
details here on FreedomsPhoenix.
From past experience I know that “the bad guys” would rather
that the coming cooperation of activists from several different perspectives
never get started in the first place. But they don’t know what many of us knew
was going to happen years ago. FreedomsPhoenix has proven to many just how overlapping
our interests really are.
Remain the judge of your own actions.
Never surrender that position by default. When the enemy screams “Foul!” the
loudest, you know you’re doing him the most damage. Those who help him scream
are also the enemy. - LNSmith
My Project:
I claim the right, guaranteed by the 1st
Amendment to the United States Constitution and the Arizona State Constitution
to share my thoughts and express my views with whomever I want with no limits
or restrictions as long as I do not violate the rights of another individual
(now let’s see how that plays out when going up against the Big Bad Guys
:)
It is my intention to produce as many large signs and
banners as I can gather the resources for in support of Liberty.

Many of them will be focused on
encouraging Americans to research the positions clearly taken by Congressman
Ron Paul. I will not have any coordination with the Ron Paul organization since
I am unwilling to be tethered or have my actions inhibited by unconstitutional
laws to limit what I can and can not say.
Ron Paul seeks the Republican nomination for President of
the United States
and I am a non voting libertarian freedom activist. However, I am not the only
one in agreement with Ron Paul’s positions on the Federal Reserve, The IRS,
Foreign Policy, Economic Policy, War, Individual Liberty &
Self-Responsibility, Civil Rights, Decentralization, the proper role of government
and many other issues.
And I am firmly of the opinion that we have a limited
time left to us to make a difference before the vast majority of Americans will
be economically forced to choose a life totally directed by a central
authority,… or to not. I see the Ron Paul campaign as the best opportunity to
educate an entire generation about the great problems we face and to point out
that Freedom’s the Answer.

An “endorsement” of Ron Paul by me, or anyone I know, is of
little use or detriment to Ron Paul or what he stands for. But the efforts of me
and others are certain to have an impact and I can not allow
this great
opportunity to pass without having done what I could to avoid what I fear is in
store for us all without a wholesale abandonment of our dependency on
government to run our lives. Besides, we always have fun, and the investment of
time and money is much more effective than yelling at the various media for not
sharing the truth when we can easily bypass them entirely.

The last I
heard, Ron Paul is coming to Arizona
on the evening of Thursday March 29th where I hope to greet him with
signs and banners and as many people as are interested in showing support for
the issues important to them.

April 4th 2007, Ron Paul will be part of the New Hampshire presidential debates aired on CNN and moderated by Wolf Blitzer. Arizona's efforts and their timing is very important this early in the process and I will take advantage of it. I will put forth this small effort in an attept to avoid what is in store for this country without a drastic change in direction.
(I've just been informed that the New Hampshire debate has been moved to the first week in June,... and Guliani and McCain will not be participating in the Ron Paul ass whipp'n,... shocking :)

I love what you've done with the place Ernie ;-)
On Feb. 14th, 2007, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, a New York Democrat, introduced H.R. 1022 in the U.S. Congress. This new bill proposes going further than the Clinton gun ban on semi-autos, and will outlaw many common guns, especially those with clips holding more than 10 rounds! All semi-auto shotguns would be prohibited. The Ruger 10/22 rifle would be banned, with many others that have "any characteristic that can function as a grip"! Essentially, only guns of minimal capacity deemed to be "sporting" guns would be permited. Get on the horn and shoot this ugly buzzard down!
This is a wonderful idea. Let's hope libertarians in every city do the same whether it be a swank office or a large shed. Spaces like this promote community and inspire activists to keep moving forward.
