As mentioned in an earlier post, the American Liberty Alliance is growing at about 110 fully registered members per day! We think this is fantastic news and we’re working on ways to continue with the excitement our members are sharing with the new growth.
One of the ideas we’ve come up with is a campaign for our new membership drive campaign. The American Liberty Alliance is looking to grow by a minimum of 2,000 new fully registered members per month. We don’t think this will be a problem, however, we do think we can grow even bigger!
But not without your help.
So here’s the deal. From now until 11:00 PM on August 15th, 2009, we’re going to run a membership drive contest. And we’ve got quite a prize!
Membership Drive Prize Package
-Round trip flight to Nashville for you and a friend for RootsHQ 2009 and the Nashville American Liberty Rally
-VIP Access to the RootsHQ 2009 New Media Conference
-Dinner with Joe the Plumber and the American Liberty Tour Crew
-Two night stay at the Sheraton in downtown Nashville
(Note: ALA will pay for flights up to $300 per flight, per person and one room at the Sheraton in downtown Nashville. Travel dates are September 18 through September 20)
Great! So how do I enter?
The contest is simple. All you need to do is refer your friends and family to our membership registration page. When they register, they need to list you as the person who referred them.
Don’t cheat! We’ll be watching IP addresses so if you try and enter people yourself… we’ll know.
On August 16th, we’ll pull the file and the person who referred the most members will win a trip to Nashville!
Seems simple enough, right? What are you waiting for? Send your friends and family to our registration page and get started now!
Disclaimer: Of course, it should be obvious that no purchase is necessary to be a part of this campaign and it is open to anyone above the age of 18. You aren’t required to do anything to “enter” this campaign. Anyone can “enter” the campaign at any time. However, the winner will be chosen based on the number of referrals sent to our site.
Also, if you’re concerned with laws about this sort of thing in your state, it is your responsibility to look into local law and make sure you can legally enter.
This membership drive campaign is not a “contest” and we actually consider it just simply a fun way to get everyone involved. The person who helps us the most will receive a “gift” of appreciation from us and the gift is mentioned above
And finally, it’s absurd that we even have to mention such madness. Free country? We’re starting to think not.

I love my country and have never been so upset at what is going on in Washington.
LIVE FREE OR DIE
I’ve given 22 years of my life protecting the Constitution, and everything it stands for. AND I’M NOT GOING TO STOP just because I have retired from the Navy. I cry when I hear teh national Anthem. I swell with pride when I see a member of the Armed Forces in Uniform. I SHAKE EVERY VET’s HAND! And I will always uphold and defend the Constitution Of The United States. SO HELP ME GOD!!
I think what the left has done is brilliant! even though I don’t like it at all. This has been planned for decades. Communists infiltrated our universities in the fifties and started grooming students with radical idealology. those students went on to be lawyers,professors,politicians,journalists and community organizers and so on.
now they run the media,our universities, local and national government!
they have been patient and learned with the help of Saul Alinski. the blue print for conquering America from within! By using minorities as stooges to put pressure on our politicians to over burden welfare,guaranteed politicians the black and hispanic vote in exchange for favors. Like forcing banks to give loans to people that could not afford them. forcing our economy to collapse.
whether you believe it or not Mr Obama was groomed to be president. By people that wanted to see the fall of freedom. people with deep pockets some middle eastern, Mr George Sorros,Moveon.org.and many many more that contributed hundreds of millions of dollars for the chosen one! and now that obama has been elected the destruction begins. piece by piece picking apart the american dream and replacing it with this communist nightmare. ALL WITHOUT FIRING ONE SHOT!
I am an 11-th Generation American Patriot. I am a Registered decendent of the Mayflower Society. My 7th Great Grand mother is George Bush’s 7th Great Grand mother’s sister. George Bush will eventualy become one of our greatest Presidents. In My Historic Family which I have a Well documented in a Geneology Tree has had a member that fought in Every single War this country has ever had. We have Founded 3 towns in New England.
I Hate what has & Is going on with our Beloved country. You cannot find More of a Patriot as me. I do everything that I can in this cause to either get this Non- Ameican OUT of Office & the Most Do Nothing CONGRESS we have ever had OUT. They are Thieves, thugs, & Communist’s. O’Bama is a Muslim PLANT. Why won’t he give up his Birth Certificate or any of his Transcrips from his schools & Colledge. Because they show he is Un-American is why.
I am dis-abled to an extent And get nothing while if I were Illegal I would be sitting pretty. I just want to work & enjoy what our real fore fathers gave us. “FREEDOM” They gave their Blood Sweat & Tears for this Only to have it ripped out of our hands by people who have NO respect for anyone. Just the Money. I want to go to every Tea Party that I can Make it too. This trip would be an Vacation of a lifetime for me. I would enjoy it to No end. I could talk to people who think like me & Feel the same way. I want “CHANGE” NOW. But not the Hopie, Changie, thing O’Bama was Offering. I Beleive in my 2nd Amendment rights. My Grand father was a WW-1 Veteran, who ALWAYS Said to me & my Dad that “Don’t EVER Let the Government take away your Guns” He knew back then. And PO’Bama & His Cronies ARE Going to Take them away. But out of My Cold Dead Hands.
I Have so Much to say & I CAN Speak too. I want to Talk at any function about the Country wherever I can. I am a Master Craftsman By trade. I worked well with Plumbers. I would Love to meet him & we would become Very good frienmds that would join together to make a difference. PLEASE Give me a Chance for this Trip You won’t be sorry. I CAN Make a difference if someone would Just give me a chance.
I could write all day here But PLEASE let me have this Opportunity to give the help to our Cause that we all need.
Yours
Russell Rounds
It is my prayer that Americans will turn their hearts to toward Jesus and that God will once again bless this nation
I am pleased to hear what WAYNE HASKETT AND RUSSELL ROUNDS have to say and agree with them wholeheartedly. I do hope you are blogging so many are exposed to your ideas. I do pray for our nation but we must keep phoning, emailing and faxing while we pray.
I agree with most of what has been said here. I’ve always been interested in politics, and have voted in every election. However, this is the first time in my lifetime, that I’ve truly been afraid for what’s happening to our country, and afraid of the control the far left socialists have gained. As a previous writer mentioned….the people running many things in the USA, were educated and groomed by the radical socialists professors who were allowed into our colleges and universities in the name of being “socially acceptable”, and non discriminatory. The big excuse was, I guess, our children need a well rounded education, and they need to learn about other cultures. I say learning about them is fine, becoming like them, is a bad move. It’s been very insidious for many years, but now, it’s right out there in our faces!! People are asking….Geez…how did this happen? How did we let this happen? We the people, let it happen by first being made to feel guilty, and secondly by not paying attention.
Oh and don’t forget these people running much of the country, were in those schools of higher learning in the turbulent 60’s, when radical and anti-government, became a great and cool thing. The insane thing that happened though, was that organizations like the ACLU, made sure they sued anyone who didn’t want that disease in our schools, and our government programs. Just break down the word disease. Dis—ease….without ease. Our country has a disease and it’s been brought upon us by the people in power. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were all stoned or high during their entire education experience, and their brains are simply just fried. Surely, intelligent, educated people wouldn’t behave this way on purpose!!
If any of you remember Barak Hussein Obama speaking at the Democrat National Convention, four years prior to his run for president of the United States Of America, think of this. He was little known, had minimal experience in anything, but was an articulate speaker and had a nice clean cut appearance. We find out during the campaign, that he had a very questionable background, and very radical friends, associates and mentors. He, supposedly was a poor child of mixed race, with a single mother. How the heck did he get the best of educations, travel the world and become even close to the kind of man we’d want for our president? I believe George Soros and his cronies have financed his rise to fame and fortune, and groomed him to be right where he is today. This country is so close to becoming a socialist state or worse, and it’s because the people got sucked into this whole deal, little by little over the years, and didn’t even know it was happening.
April 15th of this year, was my first official protest against anything. I went to a Tea Party in Indianapolis, Indiana. I was very impressed, and so relieved there were people who were as disgusted and troubled with the way the country is heading, as am I. I decided then and there, that I was going to become more active and do whatever I possibly could, to help get good people elected and spread the word about the very real dangers that face us. I went to my second Tea Party on July 4th. It too, was a wonderful experience, and gave me even more hope, that if enough people work toward it, we CAN make a difference. I have been on a campaign of my own online…getting all the information about what is happening and sending it on to others. I’m pretty sure some of my friends and acquaintences are sick of hearing these things from me. My feeling is this…..if they decide they don’t want to be my friend over my political views, then they weren’t good friends to begin with. Sometimes we have to make difficult decisions and sometimes they aren’t very popular, but I simply have to be true to myself.
Then there’s the always present…just plain….. apathy. I’d bet there are a lot of Americans right now, who really regret voting for Barak Hussien Obama. I bet too, that they wish they’d have unelected all the nut jobs in Congress who have been doing the same things year after year….only now….it’s a bit late. I’m not sure we’ll ever recover from the damage that’s being done, and has been done, in the last seven months. Granted, there were a lot of mistakes made in the last Bush administration, but a good portion of that came in the midterm elections, when the voting public believed and swallowed everything the insane main stream media put out there, and unelected almost every Republican in office. So too, the adored Hollywood left wing loons, who bad mouthed George Bush and our country at every turn….and they’re STILL doing it! I mean, does that not show, just how sick they are? It’s not only Hollywood who continues to do it….it’s the left wing of the Democrat party in Washington today. Elected officials of our own government, continue stooping to the very tacky practice of laying blame everywhere but at their own feet. But they have the power now and they plan to use it to gain everything they’ve been after for 40 years. A two party system is a moot point right now. There’s little opposition can do, with a fillibuster proof congress.
I agree with what Mr. Wayne Haskett said a few days before me, right here. And to Manager Tom…I feel the same way about my country, the national anthem and all of our veterans who fought and served. I make it a point to thank everyone of them I meet, on and offline, for their service to our country.
To Gary London, I say God has always blessed this country. He created man to have a wonderful thing called a brain. The bad things….and the good things that happen in our world, are because of human beings, making bad decisions, doing wrong, being greedy, jealous, envious or whatever. The wonderful and good things that have happened in our world are because of human beings who use their brilliant God given minds, to invent and create, all the wonderful things we enjoy today. We have the greatest country on this earth, with the best of everything possible, but evil men and women who hunger for power want to have it their way, and we have been ignorant enough to let it happen right under our noses. The God I know, is a kind and gracious God and I’m sure he’s more than disappointed in his creation….mankind. But when natural disasters occur…..it’s nature…period. When diseases, deaths and fatal accidents occur, those are manmade, whether directly or genetically. A person made a decision to have a drink or some drug and they cause an accident that kills people. That’s not God’s doing. The same thinking can be attributed to everything that happens….somewhere there’s a human being that did something to cause it, whether it’s abvious or not.
These are my personal opinions and beliefs. Not everyone will agree with me and that’s as it should be. I think we all agree that our country is in real trouble and some drastic changes need to take place. My hope is that it’s not too late. God….continue to bless America!
I truly believe that we need to go on a personal attack of our Senators and Congressmen. The fact that they are not in the medical plan they are trying to impose on us or in the retirement fund that they have been raiding for years is unbelievable. if we could start a petion to end their private medical insurance and their private retirement fund and put them in the same boat with the majority of americans we might just open their eyes and coerce them into making relistic decisions. I think without going after them we will lose this fight.
I think our government, both Democrats and Republicans are failing us. We should not be spending the kind of money we have bailing out businesses and spending on short term pork projects that do not help our employment longer term. The cash for clunkers is absolutely what we do not need.
Rather than waste our money, I would like to see efforts to grow the economy with stimulus that invests in our future. For example, give tax credits for folks to put Solar Panels on thier homes. Invest stimulus money to build new Nuclear energy plants. Between these two investments we get good paying long term jobs. A large company would need employees to install Solar Panels, sustain, and fix them. Nuclear Power plant jobs would be good paying and help get us off of foreign energy.
With the current administration I really feel we are headed in the wrong direction. Now they are testing the waters for a middle class tax increase. Of course they spent all the money and want us to pay for it.
I come from a long line of military members, thats what you did, do your part to uphold the constitution and our great nation. My first born son and a group of his buddies all joined the Army after 9/11,a very honorable and selfless act. Some made it back,some did not, my wonderful son, did not. I swell with pride and anguish every day, and will for the rest of my life. Nothing will ever be the same. When I think of all the families, that have made the greatest sacrifice for our nation, of what they must think about the direction this country his headed, is the loss justified? Not if we continue down the road to tyranny. That which our countries finest have fought against since our beginnings. I, and countless others, consider what is going on in Washington is considered treasonous and criminal. Does anyone have the legal intestinal fortitude to combat this in the court system? There are alot of Americans,(most, if you do a real poll), that will stand up for somebody that has the experience in such matters. Our voices are getting louder and we are not going away. Give me liberty or give me death. My sons death will not be in vein.
I agree with earlier post, the schools are socialist training camps. Ever since they took the Pledge of Allegence out of the schools, there has been a drastic decline in the moral fabric of society. If we have to be so politicaly correct, that we sell out our beliefs and our foundation as a nation,just to not hurt someones feelings, then we are surely doomed. If you dont except one nation under God, you can try to have some freedom in some other commie nation if youd like. Please, take your cry baby, poor me and everyone owes me nonsense to some other nanny country. God bless the USA.
I came to get more information on ideas for health care reform but as I read all the responses here I just have one thing to say.
You people are paranoid and sound crazy. There is no reasonable discourse about ideas on how to change existing policies in ways that would be acceptable to you. What we have here are a bunch of crazy lunatic fringers who want to whine and cry and be victims but not really do the work to change anything.
Go ahead….talk all your conspiracy theories all over the internet while the country falls apart. You can tell your grandchildren how you talked and talked and couldn’t get a thing done in 2009.
What really scares me about what is going on in America is that obviously well meaning people, such as yourselves, can be so easily duped by the commercial and financial interests involved here. Don’t be sheep! Don’t get all your information from someone with ties to the status quo. Insurance companies are not your friends. Pharmaceutical companies are not your friends! We have to eliminate the profit motive from our healthcare system – not from the health care professional but from the administrators and stockholders. Why do you think that life expectancy in the United States is lower than that in countries where health care is paid through your taxes? They focus on prevention and we focus on treatment. There is much more profit in treating people than helping to prevent them from needing it. Listen to your neighbors and stop watching Fox!
I have to agree with many of the contributors here. The concept of distroying America from within is an old communist concept. The universities have been long comprimised and the students throughly currupted. So, where does it leave us as a country and how do we recover. I isten to my own daughter when she tells people how Obama is here to lead and safe thier generation from right, how all that are not with Obama are bigots and traitors.
She never heard that in my house, she learned it in NYU. The kick is I paid for education only to have her turned by radical professors. I am a veteran, as was my father, grandfather, and his father, and grandfather going back to the war of 1812. How do we fight to restore the Constitution, to restore the laws of the land. How do we prevent the granting of citizenship to the illegals, the Obama ace-in-the-whole, in theory, but much discussed. Grant citizenship to the illegals and the voting will have no meaning, other than to ensure the re-election of those that have taken hold of our government. Acorn and similiar groups will emerge as the new Brown shirts as demonstrated in recent Town Hall meeting (St Louis) where the beat a guy, see man-handling people in several meetings, these are goons brought in to squech the voice of the people. This can not be allowed to happen. This cannot stand. It is heart breaking to see what has happened. But nothing compared to what is coming.
We need new leaders who are going to be able to fight the liberals in power today-not just Obama. New leaders also need to be able to re-educate the young on our basic constitution and forefathers’ plan for this country. The only way to turn this around is through election process in 2010.
Our youth need to get involved and to understand the evil undoing of our society that is occurring. I am starting with my own children, but it is a tough go when they are so busy trying to succeed in a rough economy.
My alternative plan is to buy property in Texas as I believe that state will never stand by and let this happen. In the event Texas needs to secede, I want to be on board. I was born there and wish I had stayed there!
Pay attention! This whole government feasko is a systematic way to set America up for a total socialistic government. In simple terms, this is how that works: 1) Obama administration and policies crash the markets and bankrupt the nation 2) next a health pendemic and/or attack on our nation occurs, our most vulnerable time. 3) We are left with no resource but to see the government and all it’s minions take charge of the situation, in effect pooling/dominating all personal and business assets for the “good” of the whole leaving all citizens totaly dependant of the ruling force (government). No longer “by the people” and no longer for the individuals freedoms and best interests. Welcome to the “third world”.
