NC LS Chairman’s Chapter Report: November 1, 2010
This has been a productive year for our Chapter with three Conferences behind us—I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the year, remind us all of why the are League members, and how we can prepare the future. Also, the LS National Conference in Atlanta is past and the message we hear loud and clear is that nothing has changed politically in this country.
The usual suspects are still in charge, and the other usual suspects are out of power and willing to say and do anything to get back in power. Nothing has changed. Here is a synopsis of how we can work toward the future from Dr. Michael Hill:
1) We believe any sort of "reform" of the regime to be impossible (barring a miracle from the Lord);
2) Reform being impossible in our view, we do not place any hope in "a return to the Constitution" as a panacea for our ills;
3) We believe in Southern independence simply because we have a God-given right to govern ourselves as a means to protecting our Southern interests--we do not believe in it as any sort of "last resort;"
4) The South belongs to we Southerners; thus we ought to start acting like it in all we do;
5) We seek no one's permission, consent, or approval to preserve and advance our own well being and independence;
6) We must learn to think and act "outside the box" and convince our fellow Southerners to do likewise--as a corollary to this, we must learn to be, as Ben Davis told us, "paradigm shifters" and to avoid our own "paradigm paralysis." To do this, we must begin to see the world, and act in it, in some radically different ways;
7) We do not compromise on any question of vital importance to the South and our cause for her independence--there must be no reconciliation with those who are our sworn enemies; and 8) we must work harder and smarter everyday in all we do.
The State of North Carolina: We still live in a State which will keep Socialist-Democrats in power and they control all State patronage and appointments to historical resource departments---hence the continued attacks upon the heritage of North Carolinians. Make note that many of the past State Democratic regime’s principals are being investigated for corruption, malfeasance and dishonorable conduct---we must work here at home to build support for some reasonable reform. In your own areas you can develop discussion and influence groups to push for this reform, and work for local candidates who will deliver.
Election 2010: Remember, all politics is local and we must work to control our own State. No matter what happens in DC, North Carolina is our focus. In tomorrow’s elections, vote for candidates who show promise from School Board to State representatives---demand accountability and let them know you are watching. Get to know your local representatives, and push North Carolina sovereignty issues and concerns. Support Tea Party candidates, vote only for incumbents who have earned your vote.
League of the South Impact in NC: The NC LS is only as effective as our membership will allow it to be. We all promote the NC LS in our own areas by being active politically and promoting State sovereignty, 10th Amendment issues, limitations on federal authority, and respect for our past. You are a spokesman for the NC LS where you live, be active in local political groups and let them know we are serious about our State’s (and our children’s) future. As always, be wary of the Republicans and their promises.
Let’s Be Realistic: The hoped for political self-determination of the American South may not happen tomorrow, but we must all agree that we are far closer today than we thought five or ten years ago. We must maintain the momentum, and expend our precious energy toward attainable goals every day. This can be as simple as joining local political groups and constantly speaking to and writing to city and county leaders. The NC LS is only as strong as the membership.
Please make an effort to attend our next State Conference, slated for Saturday, February 12th in Burlington. Be there to network with other members from around the State and get recharged for the battle to win back our State from the Socialist-Democrats. See you there!

Bernie,

"Most people whom we elect to Congress are either ignorant of, have contempt for or are just plain stupid about the United States Constitution. ...
Here, in part, is the oath of office that each congressman takes:
'I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same....'
Here's my question to you: If one takes an oath to uphold and defend, and bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution, at the minimum, shouldn't he know what he's supposed to uphold, defend and be faithful to? If congressmen, judges, the president and other government officials were merely ignorant of our Constitution, there'd be hope -- ignorance is curable through education. These people in Washington see themselves as our betters and rulers. They have contempt for the limits our Constitution places on the federal government envisioned by James Madison, the father of our Constitution, who explained in the Federalist Paper 45:
'The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce. ... The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives and liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the State.'"
--economist Walter E. Williams
The Constitutionalist
You, a fellow Constitutionalist, are the well-informed American that must vote. But not only that, you must do everything you can to encourage other well-informed Constitutionalists to vote. Please spend your evening visiting your neighbors, calling your friends, and calling your family. Turn off your TV or cancel other plans if you must. Dedicate this one evening to contacting the people you know who believe what we believe. Remind them to vote tomorrow. Remind them of the soldiers that have died in dark and lonely places to preserve our freedom. Ask them to give our Republic one more chance. Then, get out and vote tomorrow.
You may have important state and local issues that will be decided tomorrow. Remember, our battle against overgrown government must be fought on every level. If you’re aware of a local issue that’s important to our freedom, remember to tell your friends and neighbors about that issue. If there’s a candidate that will fight for individual freedom, remind your contact list to support that candidate. Often local issues and compelling individual candidates motivate people to vote. Use these issues to get like-minded Americans out to the polls tomorrow.
I believe that one leader in the right place can turn the tide for America. Only God knows who that candidate is, or what office will give him or her the platform needed to make a difference. What we do know is that for the first time in a long time America has many patriots running for office on every level. Please get out and support the candidates that you think will make a difference.
