You may do a double take on the source of this surprisingly balanced, cogent analysis of the onward march of big government and its inability to solve problems.

Excerpt from The Great Consolidation: "If consolidation creates a crisis, the answer is further consolidation. If economic centralization has unintended consequences, then you need political centralization to clean up the mess. If a government conspicuously fails to prevent a terrorist attack or a real estate bubble, then obviously it needs to be given more powers to prevent the next one, or the one after that."

All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for the protection, security, and benefit of the people, and they have the right, at all times, to alter or reform the same, whenever the public good may require it. - The Iowa Constitution Bill of Rights ARTICLE I. – BILL OF RIGHTS - SEC. 2 POLITICAL POWER

Dear Fellow Iowan,

Would you be interested in helping establish and support an Iowa Liberty Alliance?

If so, please join me on a Go To Webinar conference call/screen share this Wednesday evening at 7pm CST.

(Details of webinar/conf call below)

The purpose of this call is to measure the interest level of as many of the liberty oriented groups in Iowa, including (but not limited to): Campaign for Liberty, Fully Informed Jury Association, GOOOH, Oath Keepers, Committees of Safety, Iowa Gun Owners Assoc, liberty and constitution focused groups within social network websites, second-amendment, health-freedom, civil-liberties, privacy-advocates, home-schooling, constitutional-study, end-the-fed, sound-currency and Ron Paul meet-up groups… as well as any and all individuals who are interested in our country and our state’s founding principles.

The success of this effort will rely in a great part on your help in distributing this invitation to people you know would want to participate or learn more.

What will be explored on this call – Short Version

There are many plans and many groups working hard on solving problems in Iowa.
But in small groups we will not prevail.
All ships rise equally. We are all rowing in the same direction.
