Update On Missouri & the Militia

The other day I wrote a post, Are Rosaries Protected Under the 2nd Amendment?, about how Missouri had issued a report, based on NSC info, that basicly grouped way too many people together under the label of being security threats. Well, I received this letter the other day from the Campaign for Liberty about Missouri's retracting it.
& while I applaud this victory, it doesn't mean we can relax. 1st of retracting the report publicly doesn't mean that it still isn't going to be taken seriously privately. Also, since the source of much in it was a Federal Department, Homeland Security, there are still a lot of concerns we need to have as it gives an insight into how the government views us, a threat, rather than what we are really doing, championing liberty & freedom in the mold of our Founding Fathers.

Dear Friend of Liberty,
Although it sometimes seems that freedom is shrinking everywhere we turn, the fact is a powerful grassroots stand can still stop Big Government bureaucrats in their tracks.
That is exactly what happened to the Missouri Highway Patrol this week after being forced by your vocal outrage to retract the incendiary Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report.This report identified peaceful, freedom-loving Americans as possible security threats, simply for supporting Ron Paul or opposing tyrannical government.
Faced with an overwhelming public outcry, Missouri officials quickly started backpedaling, removing references to Ron Paul and Campaign for Liberty.
Then, just hours before Dr. Paul’s plane touched down in St. Louis to lead our Celebration of Freedom rally Friday night, the Missouri Highway Patrol officially retracted the entire offending document.
The Missouri Highway Patrol will be performing an investigation into the origin of the report. Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder has even called for the suspension of the Director of Public Safety until those responsible have been identified.

It is no surprise that oversight and accountability are in short supply at the MIAC, a Big Government “fusion center” combining federal, state and local agencies into an unconstitutional mess of a bureaucracy. But government disorganization is no excuse for making political profiling and persecution into official policy.
This victory for the grassroots freedom movement, coupled with this weekend’s Campaign for Liberty Regional Conference in St. Louis, marks a great moment for liberty in Missouri and all of America.
This week we saw that politicians still respond to the voices of their constituents.
This week we saw that freedom can triumph over tyranny when we unite to take a stand.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President, Campaign for Liberty
P.S. This week Campaign for Liberty showed that freedom-loving Americans will not be silenced by political persecution. We successfully fought for the retraction of the MIAC report, and we met in St. Louis to celebrate freedom’s victory over tyranny.
