Become Vocal Local - Weekdays on RBN

Good news for the ongoing campaign for liberty...
Become Vocal Local is on the air!

Will Roberts, one of our own Ozark neighbors, now has his own daily one hour radio broadcast on the Republic Broadcasting Network, and it is called "Become Vocal Local."

You can listen in live Monday through Friday from 1:00-2:00 PM, or if you are unable to tune in at that time (or you miss a show) you can listen to a previous show's archive anytime it is convenient for you.

Listeners will become more aware and better educated about important events, and it also offers you something much more important... Real solutions.

This program is unlike the multitude of common "chat & complain" talk radio broadcasts, (which are frequently very informative and enjoyable - though exist largely for hosts & callers to vent their frustration at the latest government acts of tyranny). Instead of merely pointing out and discussing the latest outrages being perpetrated upon us, the "Become Vocal Local" program offers real and easily implementable solutions that can work anywhere in the United States of America.

The show introduces, discusses and clarifies Will's longstanding and tested methods to get voters "Vocal Local" on a precinct-by-precinct basis. Local voting precincts are the primary building blocks of government, and if we can get voters organized and "vocal" in most every local precinct, we can achieve victory after victory in upcoming elections, instead of the all-too-frequent disappointing and disheartening defeats we've endured for years.

Forming local precinct groups committed to promoting more liberty, freedom, and the protection of property rights, presents us with our best hope of creating meaningful change - and working towards making a real difference in future local, state and presidential elections. The "Vocal Local" plan has many similarities to Ron Paul's last-minute "Precinct Leader" plan which many of you may be familiar with (and which unfortunately never had time to fully develop), but this works well beyond any one candidate, election or issue.

Though it is fairly simple to implement once understood, the entire "Vocal Local" solution is more complex than can be explained in a blog post like this one, or even a complete one-hour radio show... That's why you'll want to tune in daily to each and every show as more pieces of the puzzle are presented and explained, for you and your neighbors to assemble in the way which fits best for your local situation.

In my discussion with Will earlier today, he outlined his plan to produce and distribute materials to supplement the weekday broadcasts, to make it much easier for listeners to implement and customize the Vocal Local concept in their own local precinct. We will provide links to these materials on the OzarksVoter.Info website when they become available later this summer (just click on the Vocal Local buttons).

I urge you to support Will Roberts by tuning in to his program daily. Not only because it is good to support a neighbor's work, but because this plan can work - and you own it to yourself and your family to become Vocal Local and bring about real & meaningful change.


About the show's host:
Many of you may know Will Roberts from his tireless efforts campaigning for Ron Paul over the past year. He is the organizer of SW Missouri's Rocky Comfort Ron Paul Meetup group #56, and he is a frequent guest (and guest host) on several pro-liberty programs on radio, shortwave and internet broadcasts. He is a dedicated scholar of history and political science, and has spent decades researching, writing, implementing and perfecting his area of study. He has fascinated both politicians and PhD professors alike with his in-depth and insightful knowledge on the inner workings of society in general and politics in particular.

A Letter From Ron Paul

Dear Supporter,

These past 17 months have been among the most exciting and eventful of my life. Together you and I delivered a message of freedom the likes of which American politics had not seen in decades. I wasn’t sure the country was ready for it. But it was a message, I discovered, that many Americans had been waiting for a long time to hear.

I have been blessed with the most informed, well read, and enthusiastic supporters of any presidential campaign. Your extraordinary efforts in organizing and fundraising grabbed the attention of millions of Americans and shocked just about everyone in politics and the media. I still cannot get over all the fantastic work you did.

Something of great significance has just occurred in our country’s history.

With the primary season now over, the presidential campaign is at an end. But the larger campaign for freedom is just getting started. Therefore, I am happy to announce the official launch of the Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty.

The work of the Campaign for Liberty will take many forms. We will educate our fellow Americans in freedom, sound money, non-interventionism, and free markets. We’ll have our own commentaries and videos on the news of the day. I’ll work with friends I respect to design materials for homeschoolers.

Politically, we’ll expand the great work of our precinct leader program. We’ll make our presence felt at every level of government, where just a few people with our level of enthusiasm can make a world of difference. We’ll keep an eye on Congress and lobby against legislation that threatens us. We’ll identify and support political candidates who champion our great ideas against the empty suits the party establishments offer the public.

We will be a permanent presence on the American political landscape. That I promise you. We’re not about to let all this good work die. To the contrary, with your help we’re going to make it grow – by leaps and bounds.

This is the most ambitious venture of my political career, and I think it can achieve great things. But I can’t do this alone. I need you to help me. I need your energy, your creativity, your ideas, and your dedication.

People frustrated with our political system often wonder what they can do. I have founded this organization to answer that question, to give people the opportunity to do something that really makes a difference in the fight for freedom. Please join me by becoming a member of the Campaign for Liberty. Our goal is 100,000 members by September. Can we reach it?

Our campaign netted 1.1 million votes in the primaries of a shrinking Republican Party. Millions more support us. I need you to help me reach them – and to keep making new converts to the cause. What a force we can be, if only we rise to the occasion.

Now what about the Republican Convention in St. Paul? Our delegates will attend, of course, and I expect our contingent to have a visible presence there. Without disruption, we will do whatever we can to influence the party and its platform, and return the GOP to its limited-government roots. This is very important.

This brings me to my second announcement. I invite you to join us at Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota on Tuesday, September 2nd, for a grand rally. We intend to draw over 11,000 people. We’ll have live music and entertainment, and special guests. I’ll address you all as well. A massive rally will generate still more interest in our ideas. And what a great time it will be.

Remember that it was Senator Robert Taft, who shared our views, who was called Mr. Republican. But we are not merely the Republican Party’s past. If the enthusiasm of young people for our campaign is any indication, we are also its future.

Right now I will need your patience and input as we develop our program and assemble just the right team of individuals. But it is my intention to launch the Campaign for Liberty in its full capacity at our rally in Minneapolis this September.

Over the past week we’ve learned that the Democratic presidential nominee, supposedly an antiwar candidate, is committed to the same rhetoric, the same propaganda, and the same aggressive intentions toward Iran as the Bush administration. As usual, the major parties refuse to offer Americans a real choice.

The Campaign for Liberty will lay the groundwork for a different America, the kind of America you and I, and millions of our fellow countrymen, want to inhabit.

“Dr. Paul cured my apathy,” a popular campaign sign read. Others said our campaign cured their cynicism. We have now reached a moment of great moral decision: will we let ourselves retreat into apathy and cynicism once again, or will we dig in for the long haul and fight all the harder? Will we retire from the scene quietly, or will we give the establishment the fight of its life?

“In the final analysis,” I wrote in my new book The Revolution: A Manifesto, “the last line of defense in support of freedom and the Constitution consists of the people themselves. If the people want to be free, if they want to lift themselves out from underneath a state apparatus that threatens their liberties, squanders their resources on needless wars, destroys the value of their dollar, and spews forth endless propaganda about how indispensable it is and how lost we would all be without it, there is no force that can stop them.”

The time has come to act on these words. May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in a moment of great crisis, stood up to the politicians, the opinion-molders, and the establishment, and saved their country.

Join us, and be a part of it.

For liberty,

Ron Paul
