Do you "Walk the Walk" or not?

[freedomfightercaptain of 1,000]

There is more to do than just see the "awful situation" we're in. We must act. Please join in and get your voice heard on many, many issues that have a negative impact on our liberty and freedom.

One petition in particular that I have addressed before has had great results. It is about Sheriff Joe in AZ.

Petitions have reached the hands of Sheriff Joe



I hope more and more LDS will join in and sign the much needed petitions that allows our voice to be heard. It brings me hope in finding a way to have my voice heard, and seeing the results from it.

There is another petition inviting support to get Supreme Court Justice, Kagan to recuse herself from the Obamacare case.

Has anyone got involved with Grassfire Nation?
Any good experiences or results from doing so?

Ignorance on fire is better than knowledge on ice!

By the lack of response, I can assume there is a hint of either complacency, apathy or disinterest. Come on, don't be afraid to say no, or even give reasons why one can't or won't get involved. Honesty is a good thing. I don't mind being willing to do something to let God know I care even though it took months before I really decided to register on Grassfire. I learned about it from an LDS friend in CA.

A CALL TO UNITE can also include this. Not everyone may agree with any one petition, but there is something for everyone.

I walked the walk and signed the petition. " The evil of our day, is the silence of the good people".

This scripture, I hope, will motivate more saints to a good cause:

D&C 58:26-28
26 For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves....

[lundbaekcaptain of 1,000]

I have always voted for Sheriff Arpaio, but you gotta realize a lotta LDS people aroung these parts want Joe out and illegal immigrants in.

[freedomfightercaptain of 1,000]

[lundbaekcaptain of 1,000]

Many, if not most LDSs I associate with seem to consider it more important to be kind, loving, and "civil" to illegal immigrants than to protect our nation from becomeing the disaster that the LDGs are striving to make of it. Most do not see what is happening and that it is intended to grease the skids for our incorporation into the North American Union and eventually our submission to a global government.

[tmaccaptain of 1,000]

Freedomfighter, I've been gone for a few days, so I didn’t see your thread sooner. I applaud you for your efforts to encourage people to do things to actually walk the walk. Although I'm not going to go into any details about my own efforts -- it (being politically pro-active) is a big issue with me too, and something that I have been extensively involved in at several different levels and on a number of different fronts. Something to remember, though, is that Illegal immigration and Sheriff Joe represent just one of many serious issues facing our country. One of the single biggest, which Arizona is on the cutting edge of and ties into this, is not just illegal immigration itself, and what to do about it, but about the long-lost "balance of power" between the federal government and the states, and our current completely over-the-top, out-of-control (in most respects; illegal immigration just happens to be one of few areas where they are doing less rather than more) federal government. Like Lundbaek, I suspect, what I have found, however, is that like the vast majority in the Church, the vast majority here on LDSFF seem to be much more interested in just discussing and talking about these things. Moreover, many seem to believe that by endlessly debating the merits of presidential candidates, and possibly making it out to vote, they are walking the walk. It is disconcerting. But don't get discouraged, please keep on walking.

Mexico is now on the unsafe list to visit or the warning list for American to visit. American are like yah I'm going to Mexico for vacation this year. I am like are you crazy? What ever you do don't leave the Hotel area. You will be kidnapped for ransom and there is not government down there. It is all run by the drug cartels now.

Our southern border should look like the Berlin wall to keep people out, in the short term. In the long term we should just take over Mexico. Declare it a threat and make it our 51 and 52 state.

[lundbaekcaptain of 1,000]

Please, don't even think of making Mexico into an additional part of the United States. The LDGs would really love that. Just tack on Canada and we have the North American Union, which has been in the planning for several years now. More votes for socialist programs and legislation. More theft of our personal and national wealth. Remember, charity compelled by government is legal plunder, not charity.

[natashacaptain of 1,000]

I'm wondering if Joseph Smith had it right then, when in his pamphlet while running for President he invited Canada and Mexico to join with us. Pretty interesting.

[sadie_Mormoncaptain of 1,000]

I lived in AZ and if it wasn't for Joe Arpaio it would be so much worse. You either love him or hate him. I love him!

[lundbaekcaptain of 1,000]

There may well have been a time, at the time when the Prophet Joseph Smith ran for POTUS, that a unification of Mexico and Canada with the United States might have been for the benefit of all. In retrospect, however, at one time LDS misionaries from Canada were able to get into certain countries, as I recall, in Africa, that would not permit missionaries from the USA. Also, Canada's relationship with Great Britain, was beneficial to Britain at least during the early years of WW1 and WW2. But maybe Joseph Smith did have it right then, when in his pamphlet while running for President he invited Canada and Mexico to join with us.

Great post! Its difficult not to be discouraged. Look what happened to Russell Pearce!

Thank you, tmac.

I find that simply talking about issues does nothing to rectify the problems we face, and are in. Sometimes we must step into the darkness and by faith get our voice heard. Perhaps for those who have joined in, they will be of some support in getting others to become anxiously engaged in doing a good cause.

It's real easy to sit back behind a veil (monitor) and facade (using an "avatar" or "Pseudonym" flapping our lips, but true action is what is needed. And I hope for those who visit LDS FreedomForum without registering will get involved as well. For any who have, I thank you.

Tell Mitt Romney "Don't Flip-Flop on ObamaCare!"

http://www.grassfire.com/208/petition.asp

[freedomfightercaptain of 1,000]

Dear Reader,

As I watched the results from the November 6 elections pour in, I could feel my blood pressure rising.

I promised myself I'd keep my mouth zipped for a few days.

Well, it's been a week.

And as I write you, there's an all-out war raging for the heart and soul of the Republican Party.

If you and I are going to hold on to any hope of turning our country around, this is not a fight we cannot afford to lose.

That's why I'm counting on you to sign RANDPAC'S Statement of Republican Principles.

I'll give you the link in just a moment. But first let me explain to you exactly why this is so important.

I'm sure you've seen the news reports.

GOP establishment types are signaling they're open to new tax hikes.

They're saying our party should give up on repealing "ObamaCare" and allow this $2.6 trillion monstrosity to wreck our fragile economy.

The media is even reporting anonymous sources blaming conservatives for the losses last week.

But you and I shouldn't be surprised.

For too long, Big Government Democrats AND Republicans have pushed massive new spending and billions of dollars in foreign aid to our enemies overseas.

Republicans haven't lost because they were too conservative.

They lost because they were nearly indistinguishable from the Democrats.

Republican failure to fight for lower spending, smaller government and our conservative values helped cost the GOP nationally for years.

One of the few exceptions was 2010, when myself and others from the Tea Party won election by ignoring the pundits, the liberal media and the GOP establishment and standing strong for our Republican Principles.

Of course, the experts told us nominating a candidate who imposed the individual mandate in his state was the right person to defeat a President who imposed it on the country.

They told us their "moderate" candidates would sweep the day, when in fact more of them lost across the country in state after state.

After shooting our Republican Party in the foot for the past few years in Congress, and then in this election, they're desperate to pin the blame on someone else.

That's why you and I must act.

You see, from the beginning of the Republican Primaries, I was worried this would happen.

It shouldn't have.

President Obama has been a disaster as President. His dismal approval ratings show it.

2012 should have been easy. It should have been in the bag.

But from the beginning, the Republican establishment was telling voters the only thing that mattered was "who can win?"

Not "who can fix our country's problems?"

Asking the wrong question is one sure way to get the wrong answer.

Our country is $16 trillion in debt, the "official" unemployment rate is just under 8%, and assaults on our liberties continue on a daily basis.

It's time to get serious for a change.

It's time to stop insulting Americans' intelligence with tired talking points and phony "solutions."

Americans are thirsty for the GOP to return to core constitutional principles - not trade them in for the Democrat Party Platform.

But I'm afraid, for that to happen, you and I are going to have to force my colleagues to recognize you will not tolerate the adoption of milquetoast Republicanism.

Unfortunately, there's not much time.

The lame duck congress is now in session.

The new Congress will be sworn in 60 days.

Fights will be raging every day.

If you want your Republican Party to gain some semblance of a backbone before it's too late, I need to count on you to act immediately.

So please sign your Statement of Republican Principles TODAY.

My hope is to circulate these among my Republican colleagues here in Washington, D.C., and watch their jaws literally drop open when they see the massive number of signers.

If you value your freedom and want to ensure your remaining liberties are protected, this fight is critical.

The establishment is determined to keep its iron grip on our party.

I shudder to think of the results should they succeed.

This is our moment. This is the moment you and I begin to save not only our Republican Party, but our nation, as well.

If you agree, I hope you'll sign your Statement of Principles so I can circulate them to my colleagues IMMEDIATELY.

And if you could chip in with a contribution to help me mobilize more Americans to this fight, I'd truly appreciate it.

Together, you and I can return the Republican Party to its constitutional principles.

P.S. There's an all-out war raging for the heart and soul of the Republican Party. The GOP establishment is determined to win and begin the process of selling out what remains of our party's constitutional principles.

If you and I lose this fight, it could mean losing the battle for our nation's future.

Walking the Walk to me means a lot more than signing a petition. There is much work to be done getting more people aware of the real conspiracy behind the gun control movement.
