The following is take from the "CITIZENS RULE BOOK" that I found at GunSlingers on US-131 north of Three Rivers Mi. This is just the first page or so and so far I recomend that EVERYONE get this and READ IT, and the next time you run into someone that's offended by the 10 commandments or GOD in our schools you will have the ammo to fight back. It also has info about our "Bill og Rights" and other such info and is worth reading it.
"The purpose of this booklet is to revive, as Jefferson out it, "The Ancient Principles." It is not designed to promote lawlessness or a return to the jungle. The "Ancient Principles" refer to the Ten Commandments and the Common Law. The Common Law is, in simple terms, just plain common sense and has it's root in the Ten Commandments.
In 1776 we came out of BONDAGE with FAITH, UNDERSTANDING and COURAGE. Even against great odds, and with much bloodshed, we battled our way to achieve LIBERTY. LIBERTY is that delicate area between the force of government and FREEWILL of man. LIBERTY brings FREEDOM of choice to work, to trade, to go and live wherever one wishes; it leads to ABUNDANCE. ABUNDANCE, if made an end in itself, will result in COMPLACENCY which leads to APATHY. APATHY is the "let George do it" philosophy.
This always brings DEPENDENCY. For a period of time, dependents are often not aware they are dependent. They delude themselves by thinking that they are still free - "We never has it so good." - "We can still vote, can't we? Eventually abundance diminishes and DEPENDENCY becomes known by it's true nature: BONDAGE!!!
There are a few ways out of bondage. Bloodshed and war often result, but our founding fathers learned of a better way. Realizing that a CREATOR is always above and greater than that which HE creates, they established a three vote system by which an informed citizenry can control those acting in the name of government. (Here it is folks) To be a good master you must always remember the true "PECKING ORDER" or "CHAIN OF COMMAND" in THIS nation:
1. GOD created man...
2. Man (that's you) created the Constitution...
3. Constitution created government...
4. Government created corporations... ect."
I'd really like to put more of this booklet here for everyone to read, but it would take a very long time for me to do it. But you see what it says right there about the pecking order and you see WHO is first...GOD. Man has taken GOD out of it and by man I mean the ones that WE have elected over the years from the time this country won it freedom from england all the way to now.
Does GOD need to brought back into the country?? You bet he does, and as fast as possible too. Someone gets offended because of the 10 Commandments so they sue to get them taken down, I don't know about you, but that offends me and many others.
Can we get GOD back in there?? YES. Can we defend the religious freedoms that our founding fathers used to build this nation?? YES. Can everyone live in peace in this nation?? YES. But only if the people that believe in GOD finally take a stand for GOD and we all stick together, if we don't, we are doomed.
UNITED WE STAND, DEVIDED WE FALL...I think that says it all.
I believe in GOD, and even tho it may seem at times that I'm backsliding a bit I love the fact that I can always continue to reach for GOD's hand, I can always fight my way back to him and that's what he would want all of us to do, to KEEP reaching and NEVER give up. Not ever. Why would he want us to not stop trying?? Because he loves us that's why.
GOD don't choose to send man to hell...MAN makes that choice.
If you can't find this booklet at GunSlingers if Steve runs out of them, you can contact INFOWARS at 1-800-253-3139 or write to INFOWARS 3001 S. Lamar Blvd. Suite 100 Austin, TX 78704 or go to http://www.infowars.com/ Also go to http://www.prisonplanet.com/ or http://www.jonesreport.com/ I haven't looked at the last 2 sites yet, but I will be looking shortly.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all, and may GOD bless you as well.

Some Folks need your help.
To my FaceBook friends and family, some of you know that I used to ride with the English Knights M/C, i am now retired from them and ride with a CHRISTian motorcycle ministry called "EXODUS FREEDOM" out of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Although I am retired from the EKMC, they are still and always will be my Brothers and Sisters and nothing will change that.
I'm writing this because the EK needs your help, but let me tell you a little some thing about them for those that don't know them. The English Knights was formed around 1983 for people that love to ride and build british motorcycles. Some time around 1994, they started a chapter that is called "Brothers of the English Knights" and members of this chapter are allowed to ride what ever they want that's not british.
Both groups are made up of what people would call "a bunch of misfits" and I am proud to have been a misfit with them. This bunch of misfits has hearts of gold. They help others that are in need. They have raised money through many different hog roasts and other cookout parties to buy 2 headstones, 1 for a little boy that drowned at Fisher lake and 1 for an Amrican Veteran that the VA was supposed to pay for but didn't. They have held a party to help with funeral costs for one of the neighbors who's little boy drowned in the family's pool. They have raised money, food, clothes and furnature for a man who lost his wife in a car accident then lost his house to a fire a few months later, and for thier 2 childeren. The English Knights do a cancer benefit for Breast Cancer every year, and EVERY function that is put on is open to the public wether you ride a bike or not. Park Twp is trying to say that they are not allowed to meet there and just hang out, they are saying that it's a commercial business and it's NOT.
What do they ask for in return for helping some one out???? They ask that they come and support another function that is for someone else, that's all. Just come and have a good time and help out some one who needs it.
Friends, now they need some help. The English Knights own the church on Parkville Rd. and I'm sure some of you have seen in the Three Rivers Commercial News that a judge has ordered the demolition of the church. The plans that the EK and "Bro's of" had was to rebuild that church because it's a landmark in park Township that was built in 1867. There was to be pictures of Park Twp and the church on display in there like a museum and use the place for weddings, reunions, and such with rental for that to go toward the up keep of the building and grounds.
All attempts to get funding for this have failed. They had lawyers that were into rebuilding and saving old places like this that were going to help out but when they were contacted several times the lawyers acted like they knew nothing about it, they bailed out on the EK. I, personaly, along with "West Coast", have tried to do some research on the internet to find places that could help get this done, but all attempts there failed as well. I have contacted the historical society to try to get things done and it was like they slamed a door in my face.
I'm not asking that you all send money to save this church but it would be nice. Here's what I'm asking from you, my friends. PLEASE, write a letter to the editor of the Commercial News about trying to save the church, some thing about what the EK has done to help others, write some thing to the historical society, to our state Reps, or who ever you can think of that may be able to help.
If there is a construction company or organization that has the time and money to put into rebuilding the church then the deed may be turned over to them if they will just save it from being tore down and rebuild it.
The people that make up the EK and "Bro's of" would do any thing they could to help others and I wish that all of you that don't know them would have come out and supported them and got to know them as I have in my 15+ yrs of being a member there. Just because someone rides a motorcycle and has a patch on thier back don't mean that they are all bad. The EK tries to make a difference in peoples lives no matter how small it may be.
The church may not be able to be saved by you writting some thing up but it's worth a try. And even if it can't be saved, your words in the paper or to whom ever would bring some much needed encouragement to a group of people that would do any thing to help out others.
There is a meeting at the Park Twp Hall on Parkville Rd on this tuesday October 11th if I remember right and there is going to be several people there from what I understand, trying to save the church. I can't be there because of my work schedule but if some of you that know about the EK and the people that they have helped could show up that would be awesome.
Sorry this is so long friends, but I had to try to do some thing and this was all I could think of at this time. It may be to little to late, if it get tore down then so be it, but don't let them tear down some of the best people i have ever known.
Thanks for your help,
Reb.

My brush with wildlife and death.
Every morning on my way home from work, I stop at Speedway and get a coffee (it rides on the bike nice and don't spill, much) then take a different route from Comstock over to Westnege and I stop at 1 of the malls, there I drink my coffee and do my bible study app that's on my phone.
After I leave, I think about what I have read and how it should work in my life. As I'm thinking about this mornings lesson, riding south on 131 about 3/4 of a mile north of Flowerfield Rd. I see the car in front of me swerve to the left so I swerve to the right as I see some thing laying in the middle of the road right on the dotted line.
It was a BIG goose, facing west and not moving. I pass this goose and I feel some thing tug at my heart. Was it GOD?? I think so, I felt he was telling me that I had to go back and save this goose. "But LORD, (I thought), I'm on my way home, I don't have time for this". He says "I saved you though my son JESUS, now the goose gets saved by you". OK, so I turn around at Muskrat Rd, and go back north in a hurry. 60mph, 70mph, 85mph...slow down and make a turn around and gas on it back south again, the whole time I'm praying "PLEASE LORD, let him be alive and safe when I get to him...PLEASE". There was alot of traffic at 5:30am, more than normal.
I slow down, looking for him, then I see it. Goose parts ALL OVER the highway. I was too late to help him. I see this torn up back end of a goose now on the right shoulder and figure I should at least move what's left into the grass. I pull up next to it and I am shocked at first, then I start to laugh. It WAS a GOOSE, and there WAS goose parts every where. AND, if I could have found all of his parts and had 15 tubes of super glue then I could have put him all back together again.
That's right folks, it was a plastic decoy goose that I tried to save. I could have crashed and burned trying to save a plastic goose. I believe that GOD really did want to me to go back there for some reason. I believe that he really told me to do it. And I don't know why he wanted me to do it yet, that's some thing I still need to figure out. The bible lesson today was about Mosses doing what GOD told him to do in Exodus and GOD told me to turn around. Mosses didn't want to do what he was told, and I didn't either...but he did and so did I.
Maybe what I plan on doing IS what GOD wants me to do. Maybe this was his way of telling me I'm on the right path for once. I don't know, but I trust GOD to give me a nudge if I'm not doing what he wants me to do.
As for the goose, i did move what was left of him off the road...Rest In Peace little fella, your working days as a decoy are done, now you can relax and never have to work again.
Thank you LORD for the lesson, and thank you for having your hand on the car that almost mowed me down this morning, and for allowing me a safe trip home and 1 more day this side of the grass.

I'm not giving up the battle.
It's been a while since I wrote any thing. With the coming of spring and then summer I'm just like everyone else, got caught up in getting things done outside and ran out of time to write.
I haven't reached my goal of being smoke free yet, but I'm not going to give up trying. I've given up trying on many different things in my life that I wish I had kept going at, Jobs, Projects and such and I have decided that I'm not giving up any more. I'm going to keep trying and trying and trying till I finaly reach smoke free status.
I Want to be smoke free and I will be smoke free, it's just not happening as fast as I'd like...BUT, I will get there and I hope that it is soon.
Thanks to all of you for the prayers and best wishes on this journey, they realy do help.

Day 8...I think
I think it's now day 8. I've been realy sick since last tuesday night with a bad cold, bad enough that I had to call off work sick last thursday...the first time since I started this job 1 1/2 years ago.
The good thing about being sick is that you don't realy feel like smoking, but then you don't feel like eating or doing any thing else either. I did smoke a few, the gum didn't feel like it was working and I figured I'd just "take the edge off" a bit.
I'd smoke about half then out it out or hit it a few times then it would just burn up in the ash tray. I wondered a few times why it has to be so hard to quit for me when it seems to be so easy for others. One thing I have proven to myself during this time of trying to quit is that the flesh realy is weak but I try to keep in mind that I can do it because I can do all things through HE that strengthens me.
I'd start to do good and then when I light one up I start to feel bad. Not because I let myself down, but I feel like I let GOD down because I realy want to quit. I only started because of the "friends" that I had in 9th grade that smoked and I wanted to "fit in". It was just a few days before the home comming game, boy was I stupid to think I would FIT IN by smoking with the rest of them.
Any way, I WILL beat this, I WILL stop smoking. And like Pastor Duane Sheriff from Victory Life Church in Durrant Oklahoma always says "By faith I believe I recieve". I WILL QUIT SMOKING...some way, some day, some how...I WILL QUIT.
Thank you all for believing in me and supporting me in this adventure, and most of all, thank you for all your prayers. I will try to not let you all down.
The good thing about being sick is that you don't realy feel like smoking, but then you don't feel like eating or doing any thing else either. I did smoke a few, the gum didn't feel like it was working and I figured I'd just "take the edge off" a bit.
I'd smoke about half then out it out or hit it a few times then it would just burn up in the ash tray. I wondered a few times why it has to be so hard to quit for me when it seems to be so easy for others. One thing I have proven to myself during this time of trying to quit is that the flesh realy is weak but I try to keep in mind that I can do it because I can do all things through HE that strengthens me.
I'd start to do good and then when I light one up I start to feel bad. Not because I let myself down, but I feel like I let GOD down because I realy want to quit. I only started because of the "friends" that I had in 9th grade that smoked and I wanted to "fit in". It was just a few days before the home comming game, boy was I stupid to think I would FIT IN by smoking with the rest of them.

Day 3
OK, day 3 didn't start out to good. I work odd hours so I sleep odd hours. I go to bed around 8:30am to 9:00am and I get up for work around 4pm. I'm tired when I go to bed and I was keeping in my mind that I'll have a good start when I wake up because of the time that I'll have asleep with no smokes.
Some insurance guy comes here around 1:45pm, knocks on the door, the dogs go off and I go off soon after. Yes, I admit it, I blow my top after getting woke up and was so tired that I forgot that I was trying to stop smoking and I lit one up.
The sad part of it is that the guy was here to talk to my mom about her insurance policy, and failed to realize that my mom and dad have lived in Arizona for the past 8 years or so. That means I got woke up for nothing.
I guess this could have been avoided if he had checked his facts before comming out here, OR, I could have put a sing on the door stating that there is a day sleeper here so don't knock on the door. I'm going to make that sing, but I haven't figured out how I'm going to word it yet. Part of my wants to do it in a nice way, the other part wants to make referance to the fact that if someone knocks on that door before 4pm they will be singing saprano for the next 20 years. Also going to leave a note on the sing for the mailman,UPS & FedEx to just leave any packages by the door and run like hell before they make the dogs bark, or come back after 4pm, take your pick.
On a bit of a brighter note, I did smoke but it was a lot less than normal so I guess the fact that I have cut back so much is motivation to keep going till I cut it all out. Going to bed shortly, so I guess we'll try it again. I'm not giving up trying, just giving up smoking.
