In the land of hope and freedom, a new political movement is gathering momentum, demanding a return to America's original mandate, as laid down in the constitution. In other words - less interference from government.
This libertarian group with real change on their minds is stirring up the U.S. political scene, and the Freedom Festival in Las Vegas is the perfect place to find them; along with their fearless leader, Congressman Ron Paul.
“You belong to a unique group that might feel frustrated at times, because you say, “Well, we’re not 51% of the population, but yet the effort and value of a group like we have, that believe in liberty and are willing to work for it, is like an army,” insists Congressman Ron Paul.
Their demand for the government is to back off. They are neither right wing nor left wing politically, but demand both economic and social freedom, an idea that’s inspiring many young people.
“This is the start of something that will be a great movement in 2012, 2016, down the road and I want to be here in the beginning when it’s just getting the ball rolling,” Ethan Czahor, founder of shrugd.com – 'the social news network for freedom-loving people'.
Another Ron Paul supporter confesses that, “A few years ago, I had no views whatsoever; I didn’t care about politics or economics. But I became interested and found my views aligned with this group.”
The president of Students for Liberty, Alexander McCobin, sounds more concrete: “We need to have students and the next generation of leaders stepping up to take charge of their lives and be able to protect their rights.”
An Iraq veteran and a new congressional candidate for New Mexico, Adam Kokesh, could be one of the next generation of leaders.
Kokesh says, “We have a Democratic Party in charge that ran on a platform that they’re not enacting. We have a government that’s out of control and out of bounds with the constitution. That’s what it’s about is bringing us back to the agreed-upon rules for society.”
Call them freedom fighters or a bunch of angry people trying to bring down the system, but one thing is for sure: this movement is gaining momentum. And unless they see a drastic change in the way things are run in America, they’ll be back again next year, for another Freedom Festival in Las Vegas that is giving freedom a chance to breathe.

Soviet and American leaders were in cahootsAs radio host Alex Jones alleged in a recent documentary, it's all supposed to have happened at Bohemian Grove in California, a venue for the world's controlling elite to rub shoulders. |
The Libertarian Party is not new. We've been here since the 1980's. Ron Paul is not exactly our 'fearless leader' although he was our most recent Presidential Candidate. The Bush failures and the Obama disasters are proving to be a good thing for us. People are angry and finally looking for an alternative. We are gaining membership mostly from Republicans who say 'I'm a Conservative but I'm no longer a Republican.' Libertarians are fiscal conservatives who believe in limited Government but we are also Social moderates who believe individuals have the right to live their lives as they choose provided they do not interfere with someone else's right to freedom of choice and action. They Revolution we started 30 years ago is finally happening. It will be a non-violent, bloodless revolution using votes instead of guns. Our membership pledge: I hereby certify that I do not believe in or advocate the initiation of force or fraud as a means of achieving political or social goals.

The days of the people having a say in what the US government are over, the little malitias running around thinking they can battle the government is a joke. America is done and will quickly become a poor and self destroyed country and that wheel is already spinning so fast no one can stop it and certainly around talking about will do nothing. I agree with you 100% and that is why I support the NI4D. It is the only thing that us Americans can do to take control of our government. We've got to cut to the chase and fast. At present all we are doing is spinning our wheels and begging our government for power that they have stolen from us. We need the NI4D and we need to get the word out about it. So few people know about it and then there are thoses that do know about it but have misconceptions about it. NI4D = Freedom!
This could be a good thing if they also add opposition to CORPORATE INTERFERENCE AND EXPLOITATION as one of their aims and do not end up being incorporated into the democratic or republican parties.
