I am truly saddened. I know that the trucking industry has done a 180° turn from when I was first introduced to it. Drivers are no longer the modern equivalent of the cowboy, there is no freedom to be had on the highways anymore; the CB used to be where you turned for roadside assistance or directions, now the vast majority of those who talk on the thing are overgrown punks who think they are in tonka toys looking for a piece of a@@.

I have learned to accept all of this, even though I am the exception.

I came from the old school, I was taught to drive by my daddy, who learned from an uncle, that is the way things used to be done. Driving was not just a job, it was a career that took a major sacrifice - and drivers were still there to help any other driver in need, because he was making that same sacrifice to keep America running.

A part of me really hoped that there was just enough of that old blood left on the highways to make this truck out happen, but I guess not. I am glad that I moved on in my life before this event, if I were still on the road I would be far too heartbroken to drive - all I would be able to do would be to sit in the truck stop looking around in sheer disgust.

"...if I were still on the road I would be far too heartbroken to drive - all I would be able to do would be to sit in the truck stop looking around in sheer disgust."

So, the community of "drivers" share the same apathy and ignorance percentile as the rest of the population. That is a major disappointment. Who do we have left with the free spirit attitude... cowboys and rancher types and bikers.

Are we sure this just wasn't hushed by the press? Protesters on our side of the fence never have received coverage, anyway. Let's call it an unpublicized success. I'll bet lots of drivers showed. Those who did should be thanked.

Actually, this may work out for the best. Those drivers who did participate now recognize that they will have to get on the horn and organize, if they really want to stop the N.A.U., save their livelihood and America. They just received a huge wakeup call to motivate their fellow drivers. Now is the time for each of us, in the know, to hit the truck stops with DVD's and CD's.

I wonder where we could get a bunch with Alex Jones interviewing Pat Buchanan about his new book and the North American Union, open borders, illegal immigration and the New World Order, etc? May I suggest cigar boxes at truck stops with my N.A.U. DVD and that Immigration CD, I just added. That really would be perfect. They all have CD players and portable DVD players. What better time to bring drivers up to speed... so to speak?

Besides, I just got a continuos ink system for my printer, a thousand DVD's and 500 CD's. What do you say? Hit the smoke store, pick up a few cool looking cigar boxes for a few bucks each, hit the truck stop for the buffet, walk around passing out info. and talking up the N.A.U. while leaving a cigar box full at the checkout. I think that is a beautiful plan.

When you are sitting in the F.E.M.A. camp, visiting with drivers, bull riders and bikers, you sure don't want to have to explain to them why you didn't get the word out before the roundup.

One more thing. I have over a hundred Ron Paul, 911, Tax Protest, Truth Movement yahoogroups I hit on a regular basis. Surely, drivers (truckers) have yahoogroups. Raise your hand if you want to search for and send me a big, long list of groups. Rancher groups probably don't care for that big road that may cut through the south forty. And bikers don't like to stop a toll booths. You know, they'll have to balance the bike, take off the gloves, fiddle around for the billfold, pocket the change.

Folks, it's time we took off the gloves. In the words of Zig Zigler, "help enough folks get what they want and you will be able to get what you want."

"Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it."

#46. To: All (#45)

Dear AFTF (FREEDOM TO FASCISM) Volunteers, Coordinators, and Sympathizers,

We are pleased to invite you to the Thursday National Volunteer Conference call.

9pm eastern time. Your Conference Calling Information: Conference Dial-In: 1-218-486-1300 Conference Bridge : 804272 We initiated a new Conferencing service and number. Why? Because this system gives you the option to "raise your hand" and ask your own question. The instructions are copied below for your reference.

This will make the call more interactive.

ALL are encouraged to attend the call Thursday.

Topic: Real ID and how to "work it" in your State.

Speakers: Ilona Urban Blakeley, SC Volunteer Coordinator and Press Secretary to Aaron Russo

Aaron Bolinger, Primary author and Strategist of the model Resolution of "No Real ID" for SC and the National AFTF Network.

If you're itching to "do something" to restore this republic, be on this call. Here is your opportunity.

The Call is a training session with q & a so everyone can get clear on how to get this done in your own state.

No time to waste. May 2008 is just around the corner and the Legislators will be out of session soon.

We will walk you thru the steps we took to get this far and share the next steps until the SC battle is over.

If possible, be near your computers. The documents are on the website we will refer you to on the call. They are downloadable and ready to go.

This exercise in Citizen Lobbying has been empowering and a real learning experience. We're looking forward to sharing it with you.

In order to prepare for your state's battle, call the Statehouse and inquire when this legislative session is over, And when the legislators reconvene.

This information will help us direct you in preparation until you can get legislation introduced.

See you on the call! New Conference System in place! Greetings fellow AFTF Coordinators and Volunteers. In an effort to bring order to our Thursday night conference calls we have a new system in place. Your Conference Calling Information: Conference Dial-In: 1-218-486-1300 Conference Bridge : 804272 Conference Call Features:

Mute & Unmute: Select (1) then (*) from the telephone to mute all your conference call guests and restrict their ability to speak during the call.

Raise / Lower my hand: Our custom web-controls allow the conference call host to mute the conference and allow participants to "raise their hand" with a (5) (*) from the telephone keypad. A raised hand will display next to the caller and enable the host to uncheck the mute box allowing them to speak. If the question has already been asked and answered, a participant can "lower their hand" by selecting (5) (*) from the telephone again and a host can mute their participant once the question has been asked by checking the mute box again. Call Archive: Conference calls will be made available for public listening or downloading about one hour after the call has ended. We now have the option to listen online, download or use the podcasting software of our choice. How do I listen online? (please note the previous 3-4 weeks are available) Go to the following URL: <>http:// freeconferencing.liveoffice.com/free-conferencing-recording.html> Fill in the logon box on the top right Enter the bridge number: 804272 Click listen now How do I enter a Podcast in to iTunes?
