12/1/09 Speech at Emerald Bay, TX given by George Stephenson, Founder & President of Grassroots America We the People I stand before you…
Why …. You and I are all engaged in a mighty conflict over our freedom and the freedom and liberty of our children and grandchildren. It’s WAR…and I’m enlisted…I’M COMMITTED My question to you … are you enlisted? ARE YOU COMMITTED … are you willing to fight this war TO WIN BACK OUR freedom and liberty? are you willing to sacrifice your time, energy, and resources to take back our country? It’s already December….there’s no time to sit on the sidelines
Find other conservative constitution defending citizens in our neighborhood precincts….GAWTP has a plan There is so much to do… will you join me and become a citizen warrior? We need you in GAWTP to help spread the word…for right now…it’s a war of words…but it’s also a war over fiscal responsibility…and it’s also a war over what is right…what is morally right ……. Citizen defined as voter…basic…essential…fundamental… indispensable…central…vital…key…critical… crucial Warrior…fighter…participant…member…contributor…donor We talk about the men and women of the different military branches as our soldiers in the armed services…….we call them servicemen and servicewomen…WE HONOR THEM…WE PRAY FOR THEM GAWTP is about service….service defined as… help, support, benefit, relief, …it’s about lending a hand, rallying round, to be of assistance, to advance, to promote We as citizen warriors must join our brothers and sisters in the armed services and become part of the army of citizen services in defense of our freedom right here in this country….. If You Want To Be Great…Serve! If you want to be important…wonderful. If you want to be recognized…wonderful. If you want to be great…wonderful. But recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. That’s a new definition of greatness. By giving that definition of greatness, it means everybody can be great because everybody can serve. Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" to serve. You don't have to know the Second Theory of Thermal Dynamics in Physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love, and you can be that servant. Excerpted from "The Drum Major Instinct", a sermon by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., 1968. Service requires commitment… we must be dedicated …. Devoted ….loyal…steadfast…we must have allegiance to our country…the founding principles of this great land…we must be faithful….we must be strong and of good courage like joshua from the old testament……i believe GOD wants us to promise and pledge ourselves to his service to win back our freedom and liberty, no matter the cost……….. MY BRIEF STORY…….. GEORGE WASHINGTON SAID … The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people. CLOSE QUOTE In our hands as the people…as citizen servants…..as citizen warriors…in defense of all our founding fathers sacrificed…….they wanted the same things that we want…they just wanted to be left alone and allowed to use their talents for the benefit of themselves and their families…….but GOD had a work for them to do… And today…GOD has a work for us to do….are we ready to be citizen servants…are we ready to be citizen warriors………ARE WE WILLING TO SACRIFICE LIKE OUR FOUNDING FATHERS…I BELIEVE THIS KIND OF TOTAL SACRIFICE IS REQUIRED OF US AT THIS TIME SO GOD WILL AGAIN CREATE MIRACLES SO WE CAN TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY……. SAMUEL ADAMS SAID…The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men. CLOSE QUOTE SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL SAID … Never give in. Never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. CLOSE QUOTE THIS WAR IS ALL ABOUT VIGILANCE…….WE MUST BE WATCHFUL AND ALERT…WE MUST CONCENTRATE….WE MUST STUDY AND LEARN THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES OF AMERICA….THERE’S POWER IN THE PRINCIPLES……WE MUST LEARN TO SHARE THESE PRINCIPLES…THESE TRUTHS WITH OUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS…….WE ARE INVOLVED IN AN HISTORIC STRUGGLE …. THIS STRUGGLE WILL REQUIRE GREAT EFFORT …WE MUST WORK…WE MUST FIGHT…IT WILL REQUIRE EXERTION AND ENERGY IT WILL BE INTENSE…IT MAY REQUIRE EVERYTHING WE HAVE TO GIVE…BUT REMEMBER, GREAT POWER AND STRENGTH WILL RESULT FROM THE STRUGGLE…….LEARN FROM OUR HISTORY…GOD IS WITH US. THOMAS JEFFERSON SAID…If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. JEFFERSON SAID… Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction. CLOSE QUOTE
YOU AND I WERE BORN FOR THIS MOMENT…….YOU AND I ARE HERE AT THIS TIME WHEN AMERICA IS THREATENED NOT BY THE ENEMY FROM A FAR, BUT FROM THE ENEMY WHICH IS RIGHT IN THE HALLS OF CONGRESS AND THE OVAL OFFICE AND THE HIGHEST COURTS OF THE LAND. YOU AND I MUST MAKE THE DECISION RIGHT NOW THAT WE ARE GOING TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM…NOT BY JUST ATTENDING MEETINGS LIKE THIS ONE, BUT BY OUR DAILY EFFORTS TO SHARE THE MESSAGE OF GAWTP WITH OUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS……..AND YOU AND I MUST THE DECISION RIGHT NOW THAT WE ARE GOING HELP FINANCE THIS WAR…WE CANNOT FIGHT THIS WAR WITHOUT A WAR TREASURY…WE MUST FILL IT UP SO WE CAN BATTLE THE EVIL THAT IS SPREADING ACROSS THIS LAND… GAWTP WILL BECOME THE DRIVING FORCE HERE IN EAST TEXAS … GAWTP WILL BECOME A HOUSEHOLD WORD IN EAST TEXAS … THAT WILL HAPPEN AS WE LAUNCH AN AGGRESSIVE ADVERTISING CAMPAING ON TV AND RADIO AND IN NEWSPAPERS, AS BIG AS ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS FOR BROOKSHIRES AND CAR DEALERS…. IT WILL REQUIRE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARSTO DO THIS….GAWTP HAS A PLAN TO DUPLICATE WHAT WE ARE DOING IN EAST TEXAS, SPREAD ACROSS THE LONE STAR STATE AND THROUGHOUT THE NATION…. GEORGE WASHINGTON SAID… It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn. CLOSE QUOTE THIS IS OUR MOMENT IN TIME…..THIS IS OUR DESTINY…….WE AS CHRISTIANS MUST LOCK ARMS AND LOCK HEARTS AND MOVE FORWARD WITH FAITH AND DETERMINATION…..GOD WANTS AMERICA TO REMAIN THE SHINING LIGHT ON THE HILL…..GOD REQUIRED THE FOUNDING FATHERS TO PLEDGE THEIR LIVES, THEIR FORTUNES, AND THEIR SACRED HONOR TO EACH OTHER AND THEN THE MIRACLES HAPPENED…. GOD REQUIRES THE SAME OF US TODAY……….OUR PLEDGE TO EACH OTHER … OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES, AND OUR SACRED HONOR … WHAT AN EXCITING TIME TO LIVE…AND WHAT A CHALLENGE…AND AT THE SAME TIME, WHAT A BLESSING FOR YOU AND ME AS WE FIGHT AS CITIZEN WARRIORS TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNRTY…FOR OURSELVES, FOR OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN….GOD WILL GIVE US HIS POWER IF WE REPENT, UNITE, AND MARCH FORWARD IN THIS JUST CAUSE……..GOD IS ON OUR SIDE… I LEAVE YOU WITH THESE WORDS FROM A CHRISTIAN LEADER… THE TIME HAS COME FOR US TO STAND A LITTLE TALLER, TO LIFT OUR EYES AND STRETCH OUR MINDS TO A GREATER COMPREHENSION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS A SEASON TO BE STRONG. IT IS A TIME TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT HESITATION, KNOWING WELL THE MEANING, THE BREADTH, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR MISSION. IT IS A TIME TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT REGARDLESS OF THE CONSEQUENCES THAT MIGHT FOLLOW. IT IS A TIME TO BE FOUND KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS. IT IS A SEASON TO REACH OUT WITH KINDNESS AND LOVE TO THOSE IN DISTRESS AND TO THOSE WHO ARE WANDERING IN DARKNESS AND PAIN. IT IS A TIME TO BE CONSIDERATE AND GOOD, DECENT AND COURTEOUS TOWARD ONE ANOTHER IN ALL OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS TIME TO BECOME MORE CHRISTLIKE.…CLOSE QUOTE GOD BLESS AMERICA!
