I read with great interest a piece written by my friend and fellow activist, Phil Pepin, entitled “Why Elections, the Tea Party and Activism Won’t Save Our Republic.” Pepin claims the conflict to be not about Democrat vs. Republican. Labels have no meaning and are used by both parties to distract, divide and conquer—nothing more, nothing less. Nor is it about Left vs. Right. Again, meaningless, misleading labels. It is, says Pepin, about moral leadership vs. immoral power hungry tyrants on both sides of the aisle who abandoned their respect for Constitutional principles and the Republic long ago, craving—like drug addicted derelicts—their power “fix” to reign supreme and without end over sovereign states and the sovereign citizens who dwell therein.

I see this unholy alliance of “Tyrannists” (a term I coined to singularly define Statists, Progressives, and their kind) on the one hand, and CINO’s (Conservatives in Name Only) from BOTH parties on the other, now converging as a unified juggernaut focused menacingly at the very heart of the republic—We the People!

The Tyrannist/CINO coalition has successfully adopted and employed the idea that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Those of us opposing them, the ones I call “Constitutional Conservatives”, are now facing the fight of their very lives.

Akin to the theatrical good vs. evil scenario, the Tyrannist/CINO army of subjugation and conquest threatens to destroy the foundation of personal sovereignty this republic defined, fought for, and cultured over the last 235 years. Are We, the People, the true Constitutional Conservatives of all races, cultures and political beliefs, to succumb to tyranny and surrender what remains of our God given sovereignty or will we fight as “counter-revolutionaries” to retake the republic from the Progressive “revolutionaries” now openly marching behind the banner of tyranny and pseudo-conservatism? What are we to do and, more importantly, how are we to do it?

I propose we jettison the labels created by the enemies of the republic. Specifically, “Democrat” and “Republican.” They are meaningless! They serve no purpose but to divide the citizens—one from the other. The idea that all Democrats are “liberal” and all Republicans “conservative” is utter nonsense! Elderly citizens, many proudly wearing the “Democrat” ID badge, are about as liberal as Ronald Regan was! On the other hand, the citizens of Texas have seen it’s so called Republican “conservative” leadership in the Senate, House of Representatives and even the governor’s office time and time again salute and pledge allegiance to the Tyrannist/CINO banner. (Witness the complete failure of “conservative” leadership regarding sanctuary cities, TSA anti-grope and similar legislation in the Texas 82nd Legislature.) Self professed Republicans, hiding behind the mask of conservatism, constantly retreating before the onslaught of the Tyrannist/CINO horde, spewing conservative slogans all the while admitting they would rather switch than fight—where does it end? Not only is this behavior disgusting and shameful but the citizens are left unprotected and defenseless to face—alone—the monster that is the federal government and its rogue minions who continue to subjugate us from state houses across the land.

Grassroots organizations must evolve into lean, mean, formidable teams of Constitutional Conservatives. One example (of many) is a concept developed and taught by JD Benfer of San Antonio, Texas. The Citizen Lobbyist Network (CLN) has proven itself to be a successful vehicle for counter-revolutionaries, i.e., US! Specifically, CLN trains grassroots activists how to move from the lawn of the state capitol into the offices of the legislators within while successfully lobbying for conservative issues. Think of this “lawn to lobby” concept as a wagon wheel. At the center is the hub—the training command center for grassroots counter-revolutionaries. The spokes of the wheel represent the various activist organizations throughout the state or region. The rim of the wheel is the communications network the groups develop for themselves—in person, phone, email, fax, text, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

The coalescing force of the CLN concept has produced various degrees of success. Texas legislators were completely caught off guard when group after group of “citizen lobbyists” confronted them in a united front on issues most important to Texas conservative citizens. However, even with citizen lobbyists standing on their desks, the legislators often ignored them and marched to the beat of the CINO drum.

We have learned here in Texas that several “fronts” must be fought simultaneously to “crack” the Tyrannist/CINO outer “skin” while destroying the “machine” from within:

1. Maintain the pressure on the outer wall. Specifically, bombard the camps of both Tyrannists and CINOs demanding they listen and comply with the demands of the Constitutional Conservatives. Let them know WE WILL NOT GO AWAY! We CAN wear them down with a constant, coordinated “bombardment” of Citizen Lobbyists in their state capitol offices as well as their district offices. Spare no one. Don’t ignore those seemingly true conservatives who compromise conservative values for a “quick and easy fix” whenever and wherever the moment is right. Appearances are always deceiving in politics and the state house and governor’s office is no different.

2. Openly support those legislators that are true Constitutional Conservatives and have proven themselves as such by their actions, i.e., voting record, legislation sponsorship, etc. Let those that truly talk the talk AND walk the walk know we will support them vigorously and that a Tyrannist/CINO attack on one conservative legislator will be considered an attack on all—and that the citizens will respond in kind!

3. Convince those Constitutional Conservatives in the Legislature to speak openly about those who appear to embrace conservative values yet privately pray at the Tyrannist/CINO alter. Bring to light that information and disseminate it across activist state-wide lines of communication. Let all political “dirt” be brought to light. Let the people deal with those who betray conservative ideology from without. Encourage and support true conservative legislators to deal with Tyrannists/CINOs from within.

4. Influence and support legislators to introduce, and pass, service term limits. Twelve years is more than enough time to spend in any one job. Complacency and familiarity breed contempt (of constitutional principles (not to mention the citizens)). New, fresh faces and ideas are needed to invigorate the legislative process and keep government honest. Term limits must apply to the governor’s time in office as well. Insist on it via referendum if necessary.

5. Don’t wait for the general election in November to face the Tyrannists/CINOs. By then it is too late! Draft, groom and support (financially and morally) those Constitutional Conservatives willing to give of themselves for the good of society. Run for office yourself! If not for the state house, then for city council, county commissioner, local school board, etc. Don’t wait for others to approach you. Take the point and lead the way for Constitutional Conservatives everywhere. Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself: “If not you, then who?”

The Tyrannist/CINO machine is gaining momentum. They know we, the Constitutional Conservatives, now know and fully understand their objectives: loss of personal sovereignty, liberty and property. We are in the eleventh hour, Patriots. If we do nothing, if we stand down, if we ignore the grim reality that envelops us then we are lost. The time is now, citizens, to engage the domestic enemies of our republic. To do otherwise, is to surrender, hoist the white flag of defeat and bind ourselves, and our children, into slavery.
