III Congress

Several of us met at King's Mountain National Battlefield this morning.  Alan led us through a very well-informed tour and the story of King's Mountain has tremendous relevance to our America today.

There were some outstanding Patriots in attendance, and I am now confident that the concept of our III Congress can not only be valuable, but can also, perhaps, help secure the outcome Patriots seek.  I was very proud to see so many people proudly wearing III identifiers  Morale and cohesion are critical to any forward motion we will recognize.

We went to lunch after King's Mountain and discussed several topics as relate to the Congress, our future role, and immediate take-aways.  Of course, I was a mess at lunch as Mother Nature decided to bomb my allergies and challenge my contact lenses, but I survived.  Though I did return to the hotel and crash until far beyond the dinner hour.  (I also bought some Claritin that helped tremendously.)

I will post a more complete SitRep at the III Congress site either Sunday or Monday, loop in our Delegates who were unable to attend, and together we will all work to refine our first Resolution.  Some we'll do publicly on the blog, and some we'll keep in email

Today convinced me that the Congress deserves real attention from the community. 

If III Patriots are to make any significant contribution to Restoration we must move on many fronts, including everything we already do, plus the Congress, plus the III 300 (which I will flesh out in coming weeks) plus working through legal means as we discussed today.  (There is a group of Carolinians working on legal challenges that may prove fruitful at some point - I'll link to their sites ASAP so everyone can ramp up on their efforts.)  All of that must move forward as those inclined continue to work on III Arms and the Citadel.  I will be reaching out to Sandman in the coming weeks to help network our Congress efforts with the militia units across the country.

I left convinced that we can keep Liberty alive through the coming ruckus, even if we emerge on the Other Side of the coming storm with little more than seeds of Liberty in our pockets.

Our numbers will always be small.  But what we have on our side that can defeat the superior numbers of the Enemies of Liberty - is morality, patriotism, common sense, and the willingness to do Hard Things.

I am proud to have met the people who came today.

More later.  Stay safe.
