Hey Glenn, You have inspired me in more ways then I can tell you. I am an active 9.12er that went to D.C. & have read 6 1/2 books since
March. (I know wooohooo 6 1/2, but for me that is 5 1/2 more than I have read in the last 15 years and the one I did read was your book "The Real America!) I just wanted you to know that the
most important lesson I have learned is that inspiration breeds inspiration. I have inspired my folks & they have become active 9.12er's & are re-reading their history too. I wanted you
to read the attached 2 page essay on freedom I wrote last week. I was literally driving down the highway & had to find a place to pull off. I wrote it in a rest area in about 20 minutes &
it is all true. I am considering distributing it to all my neighbors & even strangers on the street to awaken them if they are not already. I struggle and stress everyday over how I can get
involved & get my message out & I think this will help me & maybe it will inspire others.
Thanks & God Bless.

Volusia 9.12 Patriot __________________________________________ What Happened to my America?
When I was a young man I had a recurring fantasy about wandering our great country alone to discover for myself what life was really
about. I would dream about traveling from town to town doing odd jobs to keep enough money in my pocket to survive. Most nights I would sleep under the stars, occasionally I would stay in hostels
or cheap hotels with other restless wanderers. When I felt the need for human company I might rent a room for a night or a week or two with a nice family helping them out around the house to pay
my room and board. As I grew up I got to live miniature, albeit tamer, versions of my fantasy through cross country motorcycle vacations where my family and I camped under the stars by night and
by day we rode from town to town in search of adventure. As I reached my late 20's my fantasy nearly became a reality. I was living on my own in a rented house with no real attachments and a dead
end job I was beginning to resent. My past military visits to Alaska were calling me back to the freedom, openness and rawness of that beautiful state. I began researching places to live,
seasonal jobs and where and how to begin my adventure. Just then, God foresaw my path & decided it was not for me and in short order he introduced me to the wonderful woman, who in a few
short years, would become my wife. A few years later came the first of my two precious children. As you can imagine my future is now pretty well planned out and I am grateful
everyday for what I have. But my fantasy will always be with me and I am sure I am not alone. I believe that fantasy has probably been shared by thousands if not millions of people as it is based
in the adventurous spirit that founded this country. Many brave souls before me have lived my fantasy and I am sure many more like myself, have dreamed it. I have seen it played out in movies
like Easy Rider and Into the Wild, stories about a deep yearning for that ultimate freedom. What happened to my America? When did our Government make the conscious decision to stop doing it's
authorized duty of protecting our right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness in exchange for performing new, unconstitutional duties like providing healthcare? Who came along speaking
for all of us and said "instead of a government that protects my most basic rights & freedoms like my freedom to wander this great country alone & unburdened in the pursuit of happiness,
I would rather have a government that protects me from all possible trials and tribulations of life including failure?" A government that protects you from failure cannot afford to let you
succeed! How am I, or anyone else, to ever live out the dream of finding ultimate freedom if we have an oppressive government putting personal mandates on us for things like
healthcare? I have to purchase healthcare coverage or I pay a penalty, are you kidding? Am I still in America? Will that make those free spirited wanderers lucky enough to live out their
dream criminals because they decide they don't want to pay for health insurance? Isn't that kind of like criminalizing freedom itself? Our current political system under both political parties is
changing the landscape of our lives & even our dreams. Will my children be able to have the same dreams as me if they grow up in a world where they know from day one they have the chains of
government mandates around their ankles? And it is not just healthcare, that is just the beginning. A tsunami of debt is fast overtaking the dreams of our children. While my children are too
young to understand yet, they will in time be shocked to learn that they personally have inherited hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt from my generation. I am ashamed and disgusted by this
prospect, and I am saddened that my fantasy of pursuing the ultimate freedom might end with my generation.
Once you have read this, please pass it on to a friend, relative, neighbor or even a complete stranger. Thank you. Sincerely, JimCsabi December 2009 download the esay here
