He wanted me to distribute it as widely on the net as I possibly could. Jeff wants to hold a "Town Hall" meeting in Macon, Georgia, on June 10, 1996, at approximately 7:00 pm. Everybody who is in the militia who has ever made any statements in public about their willingness to use force to defend against government aggression is invited to attend. After the Town Hall meeting, the plan is for everybody to turn themselves in to the federal government. The reasoning behind that is that Bob Starr and Jimmy McCranie are currently being held in prison for no crime other than merely exercising their First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Well, Jeff believes that if they want to arrest one or two people on trumped up charges for merely speaking their minds, then they should have to arrest all of us. In such a manner, we can peacefully force the government to either put up or shut up. Trying to arrest and then convict the entire group in court will force the Feds to expend resources that they simply don't have. That is the entire basis behind a lot of the peaceful protests that have been done by a variety of different other groups with success. By failing to arrest those who attempt to turn themselves in they would be exposing their persecution of Starr and McCranie as political posturing and selective prosecution. Commitments have already been made by more than 30 people to be there at the Town Hall meeting. We need to get as many people there as can possibly attend. The more the better and the merrier. Many people throughout the movement have stated that they are willing to put their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor on the line to try to save this country and the Constitution. Here is a chance to make a giant stride toward restoration of the Constitution to its proper place within our government without anybody getting hurt. More details will be posted by either myself or Jeff Randall as they get ironed out.

Any other assumption is *not* *safe*. [TAPCIS: Message was sent to 29 addresses] ----End Forwarded Message(s)----
