TO HOLD TOGETHER IN THE COLD WHAT MUST WE DO
If you are reading this you are now part of the resistance
It is 1777 it is cold and our new country in the balance yet there is no fight at hand. Around us men of the Continental Army, bloody foot prints in the snow they were sick, starved and discouraged and the question was can we make it. George Washington whose first concern was always his soldiers would accuse the Congress of "little feeling for the naked and distressed soldiers. I feel superabundantly for them and from my soul pity those miseries, which it is neither in my power to relieve or prevent."
As there was no fight at Valley Forge it was none less the importance to our country and to our history in this our first steps toward freedom in this new land. It is cold today here in Indiana I have a coat that is very warm, I have shoes on my feet and the heat works to keep my family and me warm. So why did they stay and what drove these men to stay in the face of what would have seemed hell on earth?
There comes a time in which people have to find in them a choice to fight or to give up. What would make a person endure the torture of the cold, little food, and the thought that your government had forgotten you? The answer is simple it was the thought of living in freedom. With the thought that if we win we will not be ruled by a government or a king we will be a free nation under God to be ruled by our laws and a government by the people for the people.
Today we see that dream slipping away. We find that the elected leaders have forgotten the past of our future. They make laws that they enforce at will on some. They feel that they understand what it is to be a farmer or a person of little means yet they look down at a country that says no not now please listen to our voice as to say we will give you what we think you need to fight the war no more and no less. I wonder will we see them in the cold. Will they fight when their stomach is empty? Will they stay with us bloody feet and discouraged. I think we know the answer to that, for it is the common men and women that pay the price to save this country. It has been on our back that they have made their halls of granite and marble.
Today it is cold and I wonder where we will make a stand. What will we do to understand why those men stayed with Washington in the cold? What will happen to a dream that our men and women fought for? Where is the cause of freedom today? It is here with us in our hearts and minds. We share it with our families and friends and we understand that today the cause of freedom will not come from those how say they our leading this nation but, it will come from the farmers, and the common men and women that work to make their country great.
Long live the fighter
So I ask you my fellow American to join me in the fight at “I am the resistance 2010” I ask that you think about what we can do with our vote and why it was so important that we had been given it. That we make one loud and clear stand and write in the vote or look to the outside of the parties for a real person some one that will take the job not because of power, but because it is the right thing to do. Sometimes it only takes one person to change the world in which we live. Please do not allow the real dream of this nation to be laid to rest without a real fight. Find people tell others and write in your vote. The message we send will tell the world that we are one country that believes in the people not the government.This can be found on my blog and you can respond there.

IN THE FIGHT WILL YOU BE BESIDE ME OR BEHIND ME
If you are reading this you are part of the resistance
Today’s post will ask that question. It is not about us fighting each other, more over it is about our will to pick up the sword and strike the first blow. I once told a reporter by the name of Dale Moss that you cannot win a fight until you start one. In American today we have many different groups that have started up with the intention of changing our government to make us the focus of what takes place in our country. It is sad to say that after time those that start such a good thing start to become more main stream. We see the slowing of the group with the affiliation with the old instead of moving onto the new.
Yesterday I got a message from one of my group on face book that said they would have to drop out if I sent to many messages. I asked most of the group for their thoughts on this issue. Most if not all felt ok with the messages as this is what our group is about. One of our members asked me about the 912 group which I had joined and like most I found over time that the very same people that wanted change lost their focus. They began the attacks on what others thought; in fact one would say that because no one would lead they lost their way. This blog I write is no easy task for me as some of my friends will tell you. I am no great writer and sometimes my spelling well it sucks but I keep trying because I am just the common person working to pay bills and to make life better for my family. In short I am most of you with the exception that I am probably on some watch list for my views.
How will we win this fight and what can we do? I have been asked this question many times and I have even asked it myself but, truth be known many of us will say that the write in vote will not work and I ask why. People have said that they would not waste a vote because they do not want the other party to win. Well they have won already because we are scared to make this kind of leap. If we start now hitting the press, using the net and getting more people on this message then yes we will make it work. Remember you cannot win the fight until you start one. You cannot say we cannot do it until we try, and at the end of the day even if we lose the battle we will show that we can make a real difference in our country we just have to try.
This fight and our group is not about things that have been done or the same old we can change things just send us more money, no my friends this group is true to you the reader and the fighter. America’s history is full of people that would not go quietly into the night. We have seen time and again the world as it has called upon us to help then when it is over we become the butt of all that is wrong. Americans have fought side by side to try and make this world better for all, while the all uses us to diminish what we have given. The real fight one might say will be within us to really understand that we can win back our country if we forget about the media and the parties and focus on our country. Take the time to read what I have said and think back to a time when people gathered to sign a document that gave all of us hope and freedom knowing that the cost would be great, yet the future they would create would far out pay the price.
I make not excuse for what I say and how I say it. I am an America, I am a father and grandfather. I have seen the death of my own child in my arms and I have served my country. This group is much different than any other and to be part of it you must know we are in the fight for our country and all she has to offer to our future. There are no greater words that I can say to all of you than this. You are a patriot you are a fighter and with the help of God we will show this country what a real election should be.
Long live the fighter

WHAT IS LEADERSHIP AND WHO WILL LEAD ALL OF US IN THE FIGHT
For me I have never wanted to be a leader. I have been the person in the room that will lead if I had to but, I found getting people involved in their own outcomes works best. Today is Christmas and for me this means the birth of Christ. If this is not your thoughts are you different from me? The answer is no, because you may believe in something different or you may believe in your will to live be that as it may we all have faith in something.
For a lot of people they like to live under the radar but, not me. After TARP came out I filed a lawsuit in federal court. I was called crazy and told that it would not go anywhere but, I have made my stand many of times and paid the price. I give you my story that was written in the Louisville, Courier-Journal. This is who I am and why I fight so hard. I do not think we got here over night and it will take sometime to get us out but, it will not be done by those in office it will be done by us.
Crusader launches bid to get answers from government
DEPUTY, Ind. — From his chickens out back, Jerry Lucas gives brown eggs to neighbors and friends. Lucas advertised free puppies recently to passers-by.
For our country’s leaders, Lucas offers the legal equivalent of the bird.
He has sued them, paying $70 per month until summer to cover a filing fee he actually hoped Uncle Sam would waive. In a self-written, symbolic complaint, Lucas asks for answers, better and more trustworthy ones than he contends America has been provided. Lucas wants more confidence — some would be nice, at least — that these unimaginable sums being spent to rescue our economy will work.
Lucas said he faxed copies to the White House and to Congress, yet he seemingly realizes his lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in New Albany, will get nowhere, probably not so much as skimmed by a soul in power. It could be tossed out of court without a hearing, and Lucas might have to repay the government for its trouble. Lucas wonders, too, if he now is on some sort of enemies list for his official outrage.
“I don’t feel like a kook,” he said on an off day from his job as a registered nurse in a hospital emergency room. “I just don’t understand anymore.”
Lucas, 43, a husband of 22 years and a grandfather of three, seems always in pursuit of change he believes in. When we first met, he had begun to campaign to talk more men into nursing. He knows of 10 certain recruits, along with many others he surely helped influence. Lucas continues to put out an online magazine for male nurses and prospects.
When next we got together, Lucas had set off for better-trained emergency responders in his Jennings County. One of Lucas’ four children, Amanda McGinnis, had died a few months earlier in a car crash on Ind. 3.
The best possible personnel might have been unable to save the 19-year-old woman. Lucas urged the county nonetheless to consider as an investment the expense of paramedics — more skilled than emergency medical technicians.
Lucas took his lumps for criticism he didn’t mean personally. The county finally agreed and beefed up its ambulance crews. “I don’t care who got credit,” Lucas said — a good thing, since he received little if any. “I just needed to make sure we were covered.”
Lucas also took his nursing to New York after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, to Biloxi, Miss., after Hurricane Katrina and to Lake Charles, La., in the wake of Hurricane Rita. Lucas handed out supplies, as well, though his family’s always stretched budget took a hit. “Sometimes, people have it worse than you,” he said.
Lucas said he watches CNN one day, Fox News the next, trying for a balanced diet of news and opinion. He voted for John McCain but said Barack Obama can be quite inspiring.
Lucas is an equal opportunity finger pointer. He names the White House, Congress and the Treasury Department in a lawsuit in which, representing himself, he accuses the government of disregarding the Constitution by wasting money.
Lucas urges the court to rule the public trust has been violated. He also wants public money not given to banks until, or unless, the public good truly is served. He asks nothing just for himself, only accountability to ordinary people.
Lucas worries that a nation’s compassion is being exploited and that the economy will remain stuck until relief is in the pockets of the rank and file. “I have not asked for anything other than the truth,” Lucas said. “Sometimes you have to start a fight to win a fight.”
Lucas realizes few of us would start this fight, however skeptical we may be that unprecedented spending in Washington will uplift Southern Indiana or anywhere else. Lucas is out $350 — that filing fee — but is willing and seemingly honored to represent others similarly steamed.
“Somebody has to stand up,” he said. “If that has to be me, so be it.”

FIGHT THE POWER “YOU ARE THE RESISTANCE”
With great power comes an even great responsibility to those who gave you that power. In our country we have seen over time that the power we have given to others to govern over us has not been used to improve our lives. This power has been used to enrich the lives of those in power, and it has been used to weaken the very foundation of our country that would be me and you.
I asked a friend of mine what if a person would run for office using just the internet and word of mouth could they win. I mean if we took the money out of this and I was just looking for your vote what would be the chance of getting the win. The reply was that you cannot win with out money and I had no chance. This maybe true right here and now but, that is why we must now fight the power that keeps us the real people of this country from serving our country no yourselves.
Today as I write this there are 314 days until the next election and only God know what will happen. In Washington there are members of our Congress that have been bought and paid for so they would vote for a bill that most say is no good but, yet it is a good start???? what does that mean?
We as the people of this country not of the party must join together and fight not with guns or violence but, with the real power your vote. If you have read this then you are part of the resistance.

What is the need for a resistance
What is the resistance? according to the definition it is; 1. the act or power of resisting, opposing, or withstanding.
Some would say that this is what the republican party is doing right now. My take is that we the people have done the worst job as our government has been doing the samething for a very long time while we just roll over and play dead.
In the history of the world people have taken a stand to change things when they felt their way of life was threatened and they would fight to make things right.
If this health care bill was so good and it would help all of us then way did we have to buy votes? Why did we have to give some states more than what others get? Becuase our government is broke and we must now take a stand. New thoughts are need and all those in power need to go.
I have new shirts the front "Iam the resistance 2010" on the back "I am the resistance 2010 NO GUNS, NO VIOLENCE, JUST MY VOTE"
If you are here now watch the videos tell other you are no part of the resistance.
