On January 10th 2009, Bliss Tew our Regional Field Director for the John Birch Society joined me on the K-TALK Producer’s Show.
You can find out more about Bliss and the John Birch Society in Utah County by going to http://jbs.meetup.com/13 or for the rest of the country go to http://jbs.meetup.com then put in your zip code to find a John Birch meetup group near you.
Bliss stated the John Birch Society currently has an education campaign and an action campaign to restore sound monetary policy. The JBS efforts have been in place for 50 years. In 1995 JBS published The Creature from Jekyll Island : A Second Look at the Federal Reserve.
Bliss gives an overview of the US monetary system, and how JBS is currently working to educate Congress on this issue. Currently JBS has a petition in the form of a resolution which has been distributed to JBS leaders in each state so they can get the resolution to their membership. Members of JBS can then go talk to their elected officials as constituents, and ask their elected officials to sponsor the resolution.
The last paragraph of the resolution states Congress should protect citizens from the losses that can and have occurred by the Federal Reserve inflating the money supply. There are four key bills introduced by Congressman Ron Paul that can accomplish just that:
Bliss gave a great explanation of what happened to the Zimbabwe dollar. (For pictures of Zimbabwe currency check out What a Real Crisis Looks Like.)
Bliss mentioned there’s a great new film produced by JBS called Dollars and Sense, which can be purchased from the JBS online store http://www.shopjbs.org.
Bliss covers why we should be concerned over a Convention to amend the Constitution and recommends a video produced by JBS called Beware Article 5. I point out a with a Democrat majority in Congress, they will most likely try to strip the Second Amendment. We have a new Congressman in office, Jason Chaffetz, so we need to make sure he is aware of the dangers a Con Con may pose.
JBS has also been working to educate people on efforts to create a one world government. There are many books and videos on the issue in the JBS online store http://www.shopjbs.org.
Here’s another video if you’re not convinced. If Walter Cronkite says so, it must be true. The only problem is he’s on the wrong side.
You can go to jbs.org to sign up for a free JBS news letter, or become a member for only $83.00 per year. This money will be well spent. It’s used to coordinate JBS efforts across the country, and to provide educational materials at very low prices. There aren’t many places you can buy a DVD to distribute for $1.00 or less.
In the last segment Bliss explains more about how members of JBS members make a difference in politics at the local level. As always I stress the importance of becoming a delegate, or at least attending your neighborhood caucus so you will know who your delegates are. If you know who your delegates, and precinct chairman are you can provide them with educational information like Dollars and Sense or The Creature from Jekyll Island
I mention I was able to send each of my delegates and chairman a link to this video. It’s a speech by Democrat Marcy Kaptur before Congress expressing her concerns over the North American Union, also known as the Security Prosperity Partnership.
This clip isn’t in the greatest condition because the accounts of the people who post it, keep getting suspended. I believe people are downloading copies and uploading the clip again every time it gets removed. This is the third time I have gone to pull up this clip by a bookmark, only to find the video I had bookmarked was deleted.
