Their undertaking is quite massive (in my opinion), and whether or not they will be successful is an open question.<BR/><BR/>As you may or may not know, Means once vied for the nomination of the Libertarian Party as its Presidential candidate...and came close to winning it.<BR/><BR/>ScottScott Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822015880980374198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548216176174392991.post-33268340853063564792008-02-14T00:15:00.000-08:002008-02-14T00:15:00.000-08:00Hi Bob,I remember your cogent comments on the Ques...Hi Bob,<BR/><BR/>I remember your cogent comments on the Questforfairtrial... site. Thanks for responding here.<BR/><BR/>The idea of a mock govt definitely is worthwhile, and thank you for mentioning Bob Schulz. His efforts are the closest thing we have to what I called for in this present article.<BR/><BR/>As much as I admire the We the People websites, to me they don't quite fill the bill. I believe we are in dire need of one central site where folks can propose, discuss, vote on, coordinate, and implement measures...whatever those measures might be.<BR/><BR/>On a related topic, there is another group that views itself as a separate movement...and they have quite a unique approach. I was somewhat interested in them until I discovered that they are strictly religious-based. They are at Iamsovereign.org, although the name has changed---nevertheless, by using that address one is automatically directed to the new site. Their whole premise is that we are still under the Articles of Confederation...and that Common Law is what the de jure citizen should be under. I like the second half of their premise.<BR/><BR/>In any case, I am not hopeful that the call in my article will be answered relative to a central website. It appears as though we will continue on in our usual unorganized fashion. Each separate group is organized, but they are not all coordinated into a cohesive force.<BR/><BR/>Dave Champion from originalintent.org told me that he has been preaching the same thing (getting organized) for years, to no avail. [I realize that it is in our nature to be independent, but in a crisis, people must join forces if they expect to come out ahead.]<BR/><BR/>:)Scott Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822015880980374198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3548216176174392991.post-15369017002752291932008-02-13T23:01:00.000-08:002008-02-13T23:01:00.000-08:00I like the Idea of a mock government to mock those...I like the Idea of a mock government to mock those in power with an example of true Power, The power of We The People to join together and change the future towards a constitutional government. I imagine a Supreme court elected by WTP and hearing and argueing cases that the US Supreme Court is hearing at the time, with our own opinions being published. I also like the Idea Bob Schulz had to create a Jefferson House in each state that would be used to coordinate our efforts to keep the government accountable.<BR/><BR/>Some patriots have opinions that our state government are not lawful ruling governments and some articles of parallel government offices have appeared. I would love to see a parallel government for every office in one state and be able to show the public that a government run by ordinary citizens can provide better results.<BR/><BR/>BobBleaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05565034455756184311noreply@blogger.com
