Citizen's Toolbox: What You Can Do to Save America
By John Whitehead
Where do we fit in? Do we have any say in what happens in our nation? Can we write our own ending? Or are we nothing more than actors in a play whose ending has already been determined? I, for one, believe that as long as there is a spark of freedom left, there is hope. As the poet Charles Bukowski writes, “a spark can set a whole forest on fire.” Our country may be in deep trouble, but there is still something that can be done to remedy the problems. It is understandable that many Americans feel overwhelmed, powerless and discouraged in the face of the government’s expansive powers, unlimited resources and military might. Even so, that is no excuse for standing silently on the sidelines.
There is no better time to act than the present. Fear, apathy and escapism will not carry the day. It is within our power to make a difference and seek corrective measures. Yet it is not merely that we should make a difference. Rather, we are compelled—required, if you will—to attempt in a nonviolent way to make a difference. We must be willing, if need be, to stand and fight.
The old African proverb “even an ant can harm an elephant” speaks to the power of the people to stand against even the mightiest of opponents. The thick-skinned elephant is impervious to most insects and can trample countless ant colonies with its massive form. Yet a single ant will drive an elephant mad if it crawls into the elephant’s trunk. If a tiny ant can create such chaos by targeting this vulnerability, imagine what an army of ants—or a nation of dissenters—could achieve.
I should warn you, that there is no 10-step plan to revolution, no top-10 list of issues that must be challenged and no easy formula for success. As any activist can tell you, each situation is often completely without precedent. Nevertheless, the key to making a difference is in understanding that the first step begins with you. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “We need to be the change we wish to see in the world.”
What Can You Do?
While there is no “how to” book for taking a stand against the loss of our freedoms and effectively resisting authoritarianism, there are certain things that are common to every successful struggle.
1. Get educated. Before you can stand and fight, you must understand what you’re fighting for and what you will be going up against. Without knowledge, very little can be accomplished. Thus, you must know your rights. Take time to read the Constitution, something very few Americans have ever done. Study and understand history because the tales of those who seek power and those who resist them, as you will see, is an age-old one. The Declaration of Independence is a testament to this struggle and the revolutionary spirit that overcame tyranny. Understand the vital issues of the day so that you can be cognizant of the threats to freedom. Stay informed about current events and legislation by way of television, the Internet and a variety of newspapers.
2. Get involved. One of the most important contributions an individual citizen can make is to become actively involved in local community affairs, politics and legal battles. As the adage goes, “Think globally, act locally.” America was meant to be primarily a system of local governments, which is a far cry from the colossal federal bureaucracy we have today. Yet if our freedoms are to be restored, understanding what is transpiring practically in your own backyard—in one’s home, neighborhood, school district, town council—and taking action at that local level must be the starting point. Responding to unmet local needs and reacting to injustices is what grassroots activism is all about. Getting involved in local politics is one way to bring about change. This could mean running for office, attending and becoming actively involved in party conventions where grass-roots decisions are made or serving on various commissions or political committees. I have seen instances where one person sitting on a local city council or zoning commission tipped the balance on crucial issues.
Short of running for office, personal contact with your local, state and public officials is vital. Seek out opportunities to voice your concerns and call on your government representatives to account for their actions. Call, write letters, sign petitions, visit their offices—do whatever it takes to get their attention and remind them that they are your representative and, thus, accountable to you. In all my years of working with various members of Congress, it has never ceased to amaze me how little input these men and women receive from the average citizen before casting their vote on legislation that will inevitably impact their constituents. One of the most powerful tools available to the individual, and individuals organized as a group, is the ballot box. If your representatives do not heed your advice on the central issues, then work to unseat them. This may involve running your own candidate. In this way, the ordinary citizen can affect the political process. Do not, however, make the mistake of thinking that politics is the only avenue for enacting change. Sometimes, you will need to take direct action rather than waiting on the bureaucrats to make a move. For example, establish a soup kitchen or shelter to help the poor. Start a recycling and street clean-up program to address problems with pollution and waste management.
3. Get organized. In going up against a more powerful adversary, it is critical that you understand your strengths and weaknesses and tap into your resources. Remember the analogy of the elephant and the ant: you can overcome the behemoth with enough cunning, skill and organization. Play to your strengths and assets. Conduct strategy sessions to develop both the methods and ways to attack the elephant. Prioritize your issues and battles. Don’t limit yourself to protests and paper petitions. Think outside the box. Time is short, and resources are limited, so use your resources in the way they count the most.
4. Be creative. Be bold and imaginative, for this is guerilla warfare—not to be fought with tanks and guns but through creative methods of dissent and resistance. Creatively responding to circumstances will often be one of your few resources if you are to be an effective agent of change. Every creative effort, no matter how small, is significant. As Jason Salzman points out in his book Making the News, “you need to nurture a war-room attitude, infused with creativity.” Salzman asks,
Would you dress in a pink ostrich costume and tell politicians to get their heads out of the sand? Or, if you were kicked out of a mall for breast-feeding, would you fight back and stage a “breast-feed-in” with forty nursing moms—and the media—in tow?…. If you opposed the Iraq war, would you find forty-nine other people, strip naked, and spell “peace” with your bodies? Would you deliver manure to politicians and tell them they are full of !!**@??!!.”
You might be hesitant to do such things, but others, as you will see, were not. They succeeded in getting their point across when more traditional methods might have been less effective. This is what it means to think outside of the box. Even with limited resources, such creative acts will not only get people’s attention, they will also attract the media’s attention and help you get your message to a larger audience. “The most imaginative and theatrical people are going to win,” remarked Colin Covert, a feature reporter at the Star Tribune in Minneapolis. “Don’t expect good intentions to get you space. The fact that you’re trying to fight cancer is great, but it’s not news. If you do something interesting, we’ll write about it.”
5. Use the media. Effective use of the media is essential. Attracting media coverage not only enhances and magnifies your efforts, it is also a valuable education tool. It publicizes your message to a much wider audience. It is through the media—television, newspapers, Internet sites, bloggers and so on—that people find out about your growing resistance movement. Media coverage also alerts the people to many issues they may not otherwise know about. As Salzman notes, “Successful media campaigns are, above all else, entertaining. That doesn’t necessarily mean amusing. In fact, some successful media campaigns are disgusting. But whether amusing or disgusting—they are engaging, and that is the key synonym for entertainment in the news business.”
Examples abound of individuals who use creative methods to raise awareness and get their message heard. For instance, it was New York’s Working Families Party that dressed an activist as an ostrich to illustrate how various politicians have their “heads in the sand” over various issues such as the economy. Hoping to raise awareness about the unfairness of their high utility bills, residents of a semi-rural area in Oregon attempted to pay their bills in pennies, chickens and the shirts off their backs. A local TV station caught it on film. The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence generated national coverage when it assembled 40,000 pairs of shoes of citizens killed by guns on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. An ordinary rally might not have been half as effective. In these ways, as Salzman rightly notes, activists move “social ills from behind locked doors into the public domain—into our communal backyard.”
6. Start brushfires for freedom. Take heart that you are not alone. You come from a long, historic line of individuals who have put their beliefs and lives on the line to keep freedom alive. What’s more, recognize that you don’t have to go it alone. Engage those around you in discussions about issues of importance. Challenge them to be part of a national dialogue. As I have often said, one person at a city planning meeting with a protest sign is an irritant. Three individuals at the same meeting with the same sign are a movement. You will find that those in power fear and respect numbers. This is not to say that lone crusaders are not important. There are times when you will find yourself totally alone in the stand you take. However, an army of ants creates the impression that not only are you not alone, but that something bigger is involved. There is power in numbers. Politicians understand this. So get out there and start drumming up support for your cause.
7. Take action. Be prepared to mobilize at a moment’s notice. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re located or what resources are at your disposal. What matters is that you recognize the problems and care enough to do something about them. Whether you’re 8, 28 or 88 years old, you have something unique to contribute. Radford Lyons certainly did his part to raise awareness about contaminated well water in Pike County, Kentucky. Appearing at a public hearing where a debate was underway over extending water lines out to homes in an area of contaminated wells, the 8-year-old pressed the point home when he offered hearing officials free lemonade made from the contaminated well water. By the end of the hearing, one official had promised to have the lines constructed. As young Radford proved, you don’t have to be a hero. You just have to show up and be ready to take action.
8. Be forward-looking. Beware of being so “in the moment” that you neglect to think of the bigger picture. Develop a vision for the future. Is what you’re hoping to achieve enduring? Have you developed a plan to continue to educate others about the problems you’re hoping to tackle and ensure that others will continue in your stead? Take the time to impart the value of freedom to younger generations, for they will be at the vanguard of these battles someday.
9. Develop fortitude. What is it that led to the successful protest movements of the past headed by people such as Martin Luther King? Resolve. King refused to be put off. And when the time came, he was willing to take to the streets for what he believed and even go to jail if necessary. King risked having an arrest record by committing acts of nonviolent civil disobedience. That’s how much Martin Luther King cared about his fellow human beings. He was willing to sacrifice himself. But first, he had to develop the intestinal fortitude to give him the strength to stand and fight. If you decide that you don’t have the requisite fortitude, find someone who does and back them. A caveat is appropriate here. Before resorting to nonviolent civil disobedience, all reasonable alternatives should be exhausted. If there is an opportunity to alter the course of events through normal channels (for example, negotiation, legal action or legislation), they should be attempted.
10. Be selfless and sacrificial. Freedom is not free—there is always a price to be paid and a sacrifice to be made. If any movement is to be truly successful, it must be manned by individuals who seek a greater good and do not waver from their purposes. It will take boldness, courage and great sacrifice. Rarely will fame, power and riches be found at the end of this particular road. Those who travel it inevitably find the way marked by hardship, persecution and strife. Yet there is no easy way. As the abolitionist Frederick Douglass remarked in an 1857 speech:
The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, putting all other tumults to silence. It must do this or it does nothing. If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
11. Remain optimistic and keep hope alive. Although our rights are increasingly coming under attack, we still have certain freedoms. We can still fight back. We have the right to dissent, to protest and even to vigorously criticize or oppose the government and its laws. The Constitution guarantees us these rights. In a country such as the United States, a citizen armed with a knowledge of the Bill of Rights and the fortitude to stand and fight can be that single ant that overcomes the elephant. But it will mean speaking out when others are silent.
It won’t be easy, but take heart. And don’t give up. Practice persistence, along with perseverance, and the possibilities are endless. You can be the voice of reason. Use your voice to encourage others. Much can be accomplished by merely speaking out. Oftentimes, all it takes is one lone voice to get things started. So if you really care and you’re serious and want to help change things for the better, dust off your First Amendment tools and take a stand—even if it means being ostracized by those who would otherwise support you.

Re: 150 Militia Take Over Makhuer National Wildlife Preserve Headquarters
I think Anna says it best and it does not mean you have to do anything illegal, the law is on our side. The Republic is still our law, the law of the land, NOT the sea where we are now.
Essential Knowledge for Every American to Know from Judge Anna
Every time you incorporate anything you take it off the land and out from under the Law of the Land --including the Constitution-- and place it in the international jurisdiction of the sea and under the Law of the Sea.
The perpetrators responsible for the mess this country is in incorporated the federal governmental services corporation doing business as The United States of America (Inc.) in 1868 and began using it as a false front for racketeering. By 1965 all the unincorporated State governments had been seduced by bribery and promises of “federal revenue sharing” --- that is, kickbacks from federal corporate racketeering --- to incorporate as federal municipal franchises. The counties then followed suit to get their share of the loot. This is why when you are “presumed” to “reside” in these counties and States you can’t access the Law of the Land, can’t access the protections and guarantees of the Constitution, and can’t access the Common Law. This is also why Common Law disappeared from the courts and the reason that the Constitution and the other Organic Laws are not being enforced.
Once the main governmental services corporation was set up and all their “State” and “County” franchises were established, everyone whose job it was to enforce the Organic and Public Laws of this country were “re-tasked” like flipping a switch to enforce the private statutory law and Public Policies of the corporations responsible for this travesty instead.
This doesn’t mean that our Organic Law including our Constitution disappeared, nor our Public Law embodied by the United States Statutes-at-Large, either --- it just means that all the people you hired and paid and relied upon to uphold and enforce the actual law of this country were instead commandeered to do the petty bidding of corporate managers and kept busy enforcing private corporate statutes and codes and regulations instead.
Instead of representing you and your best interests, all the people you elected for that purpose were tasked to benefit and act in the best interests of the governmental services corporation and all its “State” and “County” franchises instead.
This is why government has just continued to get richer and more powerful and more out of control while you have been harassed and defrauded and this entire country has been run as a den of thieves for a hundred years.
This change of government from national to international status changes your “presumed” political status from that of one of the “free, sovereign and independent people” to that of a “person” --- an incorporated entity and vessel in commerce.
FDR created millions of Foreign Situs Trusts merely named after living Americans and named these incorporated “persons” as sureties for the debts of the bankrupt United States of America, Inc.. Your name was thus “enfranchised” – like a Dairy Queen franchise – presumed to belong as an asset to a bankrupt parent corporation and also presumed to be standing good for its debts.
This “public trust” was named after you using the same name you were taught to use in school and which appears on all your various records, so that there was no way to distinguish between the “public trust person” and the “private natural person”.
It was then easy for the criminals to address bills actually owed by the “public trust” they named after you-- to you, and force you to pay those bills “as if” they were your bills. It’s an odd combination of identity theft, credit fraud, mail fraud, and constructive fraud practiced on an unimaginably large and institutionalized scale.
After that, the International Monetary Fund took over the governmental services contract and began operating the UNITED STATES (INC.) and its STATE OF WYOMING and similar municipal franchises. They, too, set up “individual franchises” named after you. These were set up as Cestui Que Vie Trusts operated under your given name styled in ALL CAPS like this: SUSAN MARIE JEFFORDS.
All these trusts were “born” on the land, but then “removed” to Puerto Rico--- as if you were a snowbird who moved there for fun.
This brought this “PUBLIC TRUST” under the foreign Territorial Law of Puerto Rico.
The monsters were thus enabled to send bills to “Susan Marie Jeffords” and to “SUSAN MARIE JEFFORDS” and poor old Sue back home kept paying them, faithfully, or she got thrown into court and harassed and fined and sentenced to jail time for failure to do so.
They were also able to invoke administrative law by pretending that the victim was one of their franchise owners, or Territorial Law by pretending that the victim was living in Puerto Rico.
Just this past March the UNITED STATES (INC.) went insolvent, and right on time, Barack Hussein Obama announced that a whole new tribe of public franchises named after living Americans was to be created.
This time, they named Puerto Rican public transmitting utilities after you, resulting in names that are still styled in ALL CAPS, but only using middle initials, like this: SUSAN M. JEFFORDS.
This is what is known as a “non-specific name”--- because nobody knows what the “M” stands for and therefore, nobody can know for sure who is being addressed. Is it Susan Marie Jeffords? Susan Marylynn Jeffords? Susan Margaret Jeffords?
Meanwhile the innocent victim of all this corporate legal chicanery labors on, paying every bill that comes in the mail. And the vicious racketeers responsible for this keep churning out more “laws” for her to obey and racking up more and more debt against her credit and her assets.
Now that you all have a bird’s-eye view of how this has been accomplished and you are rightfully ready to take action in your own behalf, there are a number of things you can do.
First and foremost you can share this information with all the people responsible for this circumstance ---- the members of “Congress”, the “State” legislators, the “County” and “Borough” officials, the local “City Council” and “Assembly” members, the members of the Bar Associations, the local and state and federal police, the FBI, the DHS, and military --- everyone who is at fault for letting this happen in the first place and for continuing to perpetuate it.
This is NOT the government you are OWED and which you PAID for. Now that you know what happened, how it was done, and who is at fault, it is up to you and your friends and neighbors --- including every honest man or woman involved at any level of the present “government” --- to correct it. Let’s all note that once this circumstance is fully understood by enough Americans, nobody will want to be associated in any way with the criminality and ugliness of the past and its swindles. It will no longer be fashionable in the Beltway to refer to us as “livestock”.
So, second, your next task is to reorganize things for your benefit. Send the U.S. Secretary of State and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury a Registered Letter autographed and thumb-printed by you informing both of them that you are expatriating to your birthright political status and require them to discharge any liens, mortgages, titles held under color of law, or other outstanding debts being held or accrued under your given name.
Also ask them to unblock your accounts, deliver an account statement, correct their records, and provide an appropriate and truthful international passport for your use.
Third, get busy reorganizing your local county government as an unincorporated Body Politic on the land. Your first step is to call public meetings, explain the problem, hold elections, fill the vacant public offices, and begin enforcing the Organic and Public Laws of this country again.
At a minimum you will want to elect a county land recorder, public notaries, justices of the peace, judges at Common Law, court clerk, bailiff, coroner, and most important, the County Sheriff on the Land.
Once elected and properly installed in his rightful Public Office, the Sheriff is enabled to deputize as many able-bodied men as needed to ensure enforcement. Just as you can’t force the rats to immediately dissolve their incorporated “States” and “Counties”, they can’t deny or impede your right to exercise the jurisdiction of the land and the Public Offices you are owed.
The County Sheriffs operating the land jurisdiction can now begin enforcement of the actual Law and the County Courts can inform the U.S. District Courts that American Common Law Courts are up and running in the Federal Postal Districts and their “services” are no longer needed per Milligan Ex Parte.
Fourth, now that you have declared your proper political status and have your county governments back up and running as unincorporated associations of free people, you are in position to gather the counties and sponsor state elections and fill the vacant state offices, too.
Fifth, you are now in a position to select trustworthy Deputies (accountable Fiduciary Officers, not “Representatives”) to represent your unincorporated States of America at a true Continental Congress (not a “United States Congress” which is supposed to deal only with international affairs related to providing nineteen enumerated services) and take care of long overdue business—such as officially recognizing and enrolling the western states of the Union and settling their land assets in their possession.
This hasn’t been done because although they are owed the state compacts and are treated “as” states, no actual Congress having the power to enroll these new states has been seated since 1860.
Their land assets have remained in limbo, as public trust property controlled by the UNITED STATES and federal STATES. All this may seem overwhelming at first, but consider this --- you are the heirs of the Republic.
It has come down to you the same way you might inherit a house. It’s yours now. You are the ones responsible for fixing it up, remodeling it, defining it, building it, and making it fit to live in again.
You don’t have to worry about violating archaic laws or agonize over what is passed and gone. Spend your energy now on creating a new vision for an America that is at peace, prosperous, and free of British meddling at last.

Re: 150 Militia Take Over Makhuer National Wildlife Preserve Headquarters
In case it hasn't dawned on you yet, the first roadblock/traffic stop was strictly there to 'flush 'em out', i.e. get the victims to run to the next roadblock set up just past a blind curve where the killers had set up their kill zone aka 'lying in wait'.

Looks like the holdouts at the refuge are about to be hit within the next 48-72 hours.

Re: 150 Militia Take Over Makhuer National Wildlife Preserve Headquarters
Here's another video done by "Little angel" that could be of a pistol being tossed to one of the killers to plant on Lavoy.
It's easier to see if you go to youtube and put it on full screen.
Re: 150 Militia Take Over Makhuer National Wildlife Preserve Headquarters
And another one by "little angel" that may show a bullet hitting the windshield before Lavoy swerves off the road. Same thing as before it's easier to see if you go to youtube and put it on full screen.
