redesigned. Since January 22, 2009, sweeping change has occurred demonstrably in economics, in national

security policy, in social mores, in healthcare, in attitudes, in ethics and in religious expression.

We decided to lend our voice and thoughts to the white noise of the internet and if we can

encourage, motivate or remind people of what we hold precious in life as a citizen of this

great country we have accomplished our goal.

tons of information. But in particular this information is fitting for our site: “When an

ensign was raised (usually red) on a Liberty Pole, it would be a calling for the Sons of

Liberty or townspeople to meet and vent or express their views regarding British rule. The

pole was known to be a symbol of dissent against Great Britain. The symbol is also  apparent in

many seals and coats of arms as a sign of liberty, freedom, and independence.” – Wikipedia

We were drawn to this historic icon by the research we were doing on the Sons of Liberty and the

Committees of Correspondence, the communications venue for the Sons of Liberty. In the time of Sons of

Liberty the British rule had been imposing itself in ways the folks in the new world were finding

objectionable.

 

Likewise, today, there are a number of enclaves, all over the internet, of citizens of this great country which

have become modern day venues for communications expressing liberty through their pronouncements.

Liberty Pole Post, initially, is a site where op-ed views promoting Individual Liberties will continue to be

presented. We hope to tech up the site by end of year to include investigative reporting on issues which

compromise our independence, our individual liberties, our right to constitutional representation, and most

importantly, those policies conceived and implemented by this arbitrary administration under the current

president -- policies imposed upon americans which are objectionable. Continued reckless spending, growing

government and the theft of future assets from succeeding generations; unwarranted and undesirable

universal health care which negates the quality of care Americans have grown accustomed to, through private

health insurance; finally, burdensome taxation without representation to recuperate the monies being rashly

spent, all of which is unacceptable.

On April 15th, 2009, less than 3 months after inauguration, President Obama had managed to frighten

hundreds of thousands of Americans out of the comfort of their lives and homes to go out into the public and

demonstrate their displeasure in his spending policies! They were everyday Americans with no ‘activist’

training and no ‘personal’ or ‘prejudicial’ bias. They had no specific political affiliation they were supporting

in doing this. All they were called to do -- by their patriotic spirit -- was to meet and express their disdain for

the practices already in evidence by this administration. The various locations around the country were like

the ‘town squares’ of the days of Revolution; thus this site’s conception. It will remain so long as there is a

need to call attention to those whose minds and spirits have not yet been awakened to the individual liberties

they are forfeiting through their inattention. More voices through sites on the internet promoting the ‘WAKE

UP’ call is needed to move people from apathy, complacency or malaise to active, loyal and proud American.

With this clarion call it is more likely we will make a difference on November 2, 2010 and then again on

November 6, 2012.

 

So here, at this Liberty Pole in our virtual town square, we will herald the day’s events with a view to

preserving our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our individual liberties, keeping them for successive

generations that they may know the beauty of the best form of government man has made  -- democracy! --

Subject of course to God, hence the phrase, ‘One nation under God…’!

Please email us your thoughts, comment on the blog site, send us historical data which would be useful in

reminding us how far we may have strayed from the founding ideals embodied in the governing documents

of the Republic of America.
