Dear Patriot,

In any other "normal" year, many of us would be gathering with
family and friends this weekend to celebrate the Easter holiday.

But this is anything but a normal year.

Back in 1916, the Irish chose Easter as a time to rise up against
British oppression and proclaimed themselves a republic -- a
daring move inspired by a desire for liberty.

This Easter in the United States of America, rather than an
occupying one, we face a government that is becoming more and
more oppressive daily through the coronavirus crisis and
stripping away our liberties every step along the way.

Thomas Jefferson famously said, "Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty." That does not only mean that we should be prepared
to defend against foreign invaders. Perhaps more importantly it
means that we must retain the lessons from the original American
and Irish revolts and guard against a government that views the
people as the enemy.

Americans are told they must stay in their homes. They are told
they cannot assemble for religious reasons. Their businesses are
forced to shut down because the government deems them
"non-essential." Those who speak out are criticized profusely.
Government officials are advocating for the right to hold those
arrested without a hearing or bond.

One hundred years ago, a young writer Randolph Bourne said, "war
is the health of the state," and he lamented governments' success
at taking authority and resources during conflict. But Bourne
further explained that, "if the State's chief function is war,
then the State must suck out of the nation a large part of its
energy for its purely sterile purposes of defense and aggression.
It devotes to waste or to actual destruction as much as it can of
the vitality of the nation."

The "war" we face today is not against foreign enemies, but
rather on American soil against our own government as they seek
more and more power, and as they suck out the vitality of our
citizens.

The actions being taken benefit the special interests. They
benefit the statists whose "expertise" is leading to disaster.
They benefit the mainstream media. They benefit the wealthy.

The government is using the threat of this virus to further gut
our First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth
AND Tenth Amendment rights. All under the guise of "keeping us
safe" from the threat du jour.

The state uses their power to take away our freedoms. If we wish
to survive as a free society, we must begin to exercise some of
that "eternal vigilance" Jefferson spoke of against an ever more
oppressive state -- and that is exactly what we intend to do. If
the people demand change, the politicians will listen.

These are truly somber times.

But please don't forget this Easter and Passover holiday, like
this time of year, is about renewal and freedom.

I hope that you have a peaceful weekend and are able to spend
some time with your loved ones.

For liberty,

Ron
