I got a call earlier from Delegate Barry Hess telling me he will not be able to attend the CC2209 due to economic factors.  This is a blow to the AZ Delegation as Barry is a strong speaker and I was hoping to hear him raise hell.  I called Alternate Ralph Luciani and he said he will be reviewing his schedule to see if he can juggle his patients to the weeks prior & after.  He wanted to go and speak and it looks like he might get his chance.

We had our weekly meeting at the Freedom's Phoenix Workshop and got to see some of the Phoenix R3VOLUTIONARIES making banners regarding the vaccine - and I mean a LOT of them.  Pretty cool.  Ralph stopped by and got to meet Sterling Smith the Maricopa County Coordinator.

More communications with Admin have finally gotten them to update the State-specific donations button and I see we have about $150 in the coffer plus what Buck and Jeanne donated.  Looks like I might not have to take the bus after all.  That really takes a load off my mind.

I state now for the record I don't like the agenda and schedule that is being contemplated.  I have let them know exactly how I feel but Admin has been playing their cards extremely close to the chest and uses silence at time to give opposition time to quell.  The attempt at steering the Congress in one set direction has me concerned given that I see no time alloted for 'New Items from the Floor' and the topics are spread too generically thin across the duration of the Congress.  I have suggested that we use a small amount of time stating for the record the list of what is scheduled and use the bulk of the time for deliberations (which is what this is going to take) - but we'll see where that goes - if it is acknowledged at all.

I need some sleep.

It's going on 10 a.m.  I've been online since about 7.  Cleared out both inboxes (my Yahoo for most stuff and my Gmail for CC2009), posted a humorous Onion article on The R3VOLUTION CONTINUES Edition of Freedom's Phoenix http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Front-Page.htm?EdNo=202 that someone e-mailed me, checked out my .ning WTP, ETF, and Oathkeeper pages, and checked out what those I follow have Tweeted since yesterday http://twitter.com/Psychictaxi .

That's in between taking the Wife to work, the Granddaughter to school, and getting a friend that is trying to get on his feet here in Phoenix from relocating from NC headed for a job interview, and interacting with the rest of the family, and kissing my youngest Grandchild that gives me everything I need to carry on the battle that MUST be won.

Today will be split between lots of phone calls to try and raise funds for our delegates, and trying to repair my wife's car that was returned to me by the mechanic because he can't figure out what's wrong with it.  I have to get it running before heading to St. Charles so she can keep things running while I'm gone.  This was the WORST time for it to break down - par for the course.

I missed John Stuart's Competency Hearing this morning because of my schedule.  Damn.   I wanted to be there to show my support.  It's hard to be in several places at once especially as low on funds as I am.  I seem to constantly run on little to no cash because when times are hard like it is, I have the tendency to take care of those around me - many times to my detriment.  

But I find advantage in not having Mammon.  It makes me rely more on The Source of All.  I live closer to the ground and closer to God when I am broke.  

It pisses my Wife off to no end when I say that if I won the lottery I'd be broke in a short time anyway because I'd give it away to those who need it more than I do (which I know in my heart I would without hesitation).   I know not to hide my tares in the field.

I also uploaded a file to the CC2009 BaseCamp.  It is the Preamble I re-wrote at 3:30 a.m. the morning I first read the Three-Judge En Banc Panel Decision in Schultz vs. U.S.A. where they unloaded the biggest pile of HORSESHIT on the American People that said we don't have a right to an answer to the petitions we have submitted to make our 'supposed' government accountable.

When I was finished with the last stroke of my pen I swear this paper GLOWED in my hands!  It's exactly what I think and feel, it jives with the original, and it FLOWS nicely when I read it.  It covers just about everything that I see would be a DAMN GOOD START, and would make a major change just in itself.  I know many will argue with this or that for whatever reason.  I don't care - this is what I was moved to create, and I'm sticking by it.

I've had six hours of sleep and two meals in two days.

I have so much to do between now and Nov 11th I'm not sure if I can get it all done by then.

I'm not getting a lot of help with the admin chores, and I'm not getting any response at all from my call for funds.  I still don't have my plane tickets.  My wife's car is busted and I don't know if I can fix it.  I have to have transportation for her while I'm gone because my suburban is too big and not in proper running condition, and I don't have time to work on it either.  I not only take her to and from work, but I also take my 8th Grade Granddaughter to and from school every day. 

I'm about ready to go on a BUS.  It will take a couple of days to get there and I don't know how I will get back, but at this point I DON'T CARE! I have played a part in accumulating the proof of this masquerade fools call 'government', and I WILL TESTIFY.

Only my death or incarcration will stop me.

"Is life so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God.  I know not what course others may take, but as for me..."

Need I say more?

I didn't get home until late last night and din't get a chance to come and post.  I spent a good portion of the day editing and printing out the State Legislator letters, and now I'm heading over to the Capitol to put them into their respective inboxes.  90 of them.  It took a while, but once I had the basic form letter edited, I just had to cut and paste each name and address over and over.  It amazes me how many people say they're willing to help, but how few (if any) show up and actually DO something.

Now I'm worrying about money.

Like I don't have enough to do without having to make 150 phone calls to drum up some financial support.

If I have to hitchike to St. Charles I will.

Every time things look dim I think back to Valley Forge - and what Washington had to deal with - I CAN RELATE.

I have spent my fortune when others wouldn't contribute - because what I've done HAD to be done.  I have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in man-hours organizing and protesting and rallying and educating.  I've let my personal world deteriorate due to my absence, and alienated my family from neglect.  I am now consigned to rags on my feet and I'm HUNGRY, yet I FIGHT ON.  The alternative - I give up and resign my rights and yours and those of my unborn Great-Grandchildren and finalize their SLAVERY - IS NOT AN OPTION.  As the Patriarch of my family since the passing of my Father my responsibility is a most difficult pathway because I am alone in my understanding of the depth and direness of the perpetual problem of A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACTING OUTSIDE THE CONSTITUTIONAL RESTRAINTS OF THE U. S. CONSTITUTION.  My wife doesn't understand.  Our children don't understand.  The majority of the people in this country don't understand; they can't, because they are addicted to the one thing that has contributed to the enslavement and destruction of America more than ANYTHING in history, and are controlled gladly and willingly by it.

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the govenrments that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't call for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks . . .
Don't touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

I know I had better get used to blogging every day, so after five hours of Conference Calls - 2 to 5 p.m. for Delegates, and 6 to 8 p.m. for State Coordinators/Admin, here I am, and I hope to help everyone who reads this blog with what insights I can offer from my unique vantagepoint.

I'm making more contacts all the time - whether it be in the calls, in the chat room with participants not speaking, or phoning other Delegates nationwide before and after the calls.  I have had marvelous reception with everyone I've interacted with, and I wouldn't have it any other way.  Only the occasional person here and there do I either not agree with, or wonder "how did THEY get in here!?!"  Most often I get that from what they wrote, rather than phone or in person contact. 

Yesterday I had the opportunity to have lunch with the rest of the Arizona Delegation for the first time, and I was delighted as to just how like-minded and civil and downright Brotherly we all were.  To get this far we have all had to exert ourselves far and beyond the pale, and we are downright giddy to be able to take an active part in the culmination of the decades-long struggle against those who would and are destructing America as fast as they can for their own purposes and gains. 

From left to right: Delegates Barry Hess, Ed Vallejo, Howard Blitz, and Alternate Delegate Ralph Luciani.

It's getting late and I still haven't eaten yet, so I'll be back again tomorrow.

I've been stumbling around in here for hours trying to figure out how to update this damn thing and finally hit the right page!

THIS IS THE PLACE.

I will be using this blog for the purposes of feeding information into the CC2009 system.  All Delegates have been asked if they have an active blog with RSS feed and I will be here.  I'm working on having a webcam on me so that everyone can tune in and see what I see, hear what I hear, and communicate with me via Yahoo! Instant Messaging.

Isn't that the type of transparency that we should have with our Reps and Senators in this Age of Technology!?!  I think so.
