WE HAVE JUST BEGUN TO FIGHT
Take
heart friends and know that you are not alone.
Although you may, as we all do at times, become frustrated
or disgusted because some of the rest of the group may
not agree with us on various issues or solutions to those
issues, remember these few things:
Most people involved in this Southern Movement for
Independence and the right to honor our Southern
heritage and culture are sincere in their desires and
also in their fears of what they see developing rapidly
in Washington, D.C. and the New World Order dictatorship.
It is designed to become the "Evil
Empire".
People who are not from the south, but from various other
regions of this country and even in other countries
are frantically working now to sound the alarm to
their neighbors like Patrick Henry in 1775 with his
"Give me liberty or give me death" speech
in his attempt to rally his neighbors. Those times
were no less frustrating and disgusting and
seemingly futile against the World’s most powerful
Empire, the British Empire. People around the
country in these other countries are suffering
from frustration and disgust because so many of
their friends simply don’t see the problem the way
they do or are not willing to get involved.
What’s new. Only about 3% supported the American
Revolution, but the idea and the determination
and perseverance of a few paid off and actually
won. Even more frustrating must have been scene
after the victory against the British, when they
saw their neighbors making serious mistakes that
could and did lead to new serious consequences
endangering their liberty to enjoy freedoms so
hard won. In the conflict that we of the
Southern Party find ourselves in today, of the
struggle to further two key ideas. The first
idea is one that is involved in the struggle
for freedom and liberty throughout the world.
That is the idea of:
1. "States’ Rights and Individual Sovereignty
vs. Centralist Control from the Top Down."
People around the world and in this country as well
are fighting for the protection of certain rights
like the right to bear arms (Charleston Heston &
the NRA), the right to local control of our
schools, our states our cities, and even veteran’s
rights (
Rolling Thunder, Inc.), etc.
The second idea is one that only involves
our own region in our own country which is
the idea of:
2. "Secession and Independence for the Southern States."
This is an idea already being kept alive by the
Sons of
Confederate Veterans and being furthered
by the
League of the South and other similar
great organizations. We are now attempting to
put together political machinery to gain
meaningful political power in the Statehouses
of the South to further both of these ideas.
Not surprisingly, we have run into a series of
normal and to be expected political problems.
Sure, it can be discouraging and seem futile.
Imagine if you were listening to Patrick Henry
and the arguments against his ideas by the
Loyalists of that day. That would have been
discouraging and seemed futile also.
We are all in a trench, so to speak, waiting. Some of
us know that we are waiting for the charge of
British troops we can see and hear gathering
in the bushes beyond. In that group, some would
rather leave the trench while others have strong
determination to hold their ground. (Both of
these are normal). Then, in the trench, we also
have those who are disillusioned about the
meaning of the noise they hear in the bushes
beyond. They know it is the British, but they
have deluded themselves into believing that they
can deal with them and perhaps negotiate terms.
Others in the trench are even somewhat sympathetic
to the British cause and are unsure of what to do
or are inclined to follow the lead the British
General is offering. Finally, there are a few
in the trench who are actually agents of the
British who are working to sabotage the efforts
of those who want to hold the line.
Today, we are in such a trench, but the forces
gathering are Yankee troops (Federal Agents, Republican
or Democratic Party Saboteurs, British Agents and other
powerful think-tank groups like the Trilateralists and
the Council on Foreign Relations, ad nauseam). (Oh yes,
British Agents even today, working for the interests of
the Crown).
Now we are involved in a valiant effort to forge a
great political "third" party that makes
more sense than any other ideas of futile reform
which has consistently failed for 135 years and
that was a group which was co-sponsored the idea
of founding the Southern Party. Just who was
exactly first might be of value for history, but
for the movement, it is not important because
many people and groups jumped in and helped to
forge this new effort along the two main ideas shown above.
Many were privileged to have been signers of the
Asheville Declaration, a very bold move a great significance.
The many of us late comers who were not so privileged,
nevertheless support the ideas contained therein and
have worked to develop the Southern Party political
organization into a movement that furthers the
Asheville Declaration. Those ideas will prevail and
the movement will continue to prosper and gain
regardless of some fate of the Southern Party or some
other off-shoot of the Southern Party.
The movement to further the ideas of "States’
Rights and Individual Sovereignty vs. Centralist
Control from the Top Down" and "Secession and
Independence for the Southern States" shall
not perish from the hearts and efforts of the people
in the Federation of Free States who are seeking
their own sovereignty and freedom.
Remember the final words of the Asheville Declaration:
Therefore, we, the founders of the Southern party,
invoking the blessings of everlasting, almighty God
and pledging our "lives, fortunes and sacred
honor," solemnly resolve to restore to the
people of the South the lawful self-government and
independence which are their birthright. Our
struggle is not for riches, glory or honor but for
the freedom to govern ourselves and to resume our
rightful place among the peoples and the nations
of the earth. In the spirit of Christian charity,
bearing malice toward none, we invite high-minded
individuals from all walks and stations of life to
join us in our struggle to restore the blessings of
ordered liberty to our beloved Southland.
Hang in there folks.
