Campaign For Liberty reaches milestone 200,000


Recommended Posts

I am unaware of just how many members of the campaign for liberty I am personally responsible for recruiting but there are now 200,006 as we approach 6AM Sunday August 15th, 2009.

Back in 1968 when I learned that there were about 20,000 subscribers to The Objectivist Newsletter I calculated that the numbers of Objectivists might grow to 10 million if those 20K doubled and redoubled over time. I imagine there are more Objectivists now than ever before but nowhere near ten million!

But this C4L movement is different. It involves peoples perception of their role in changing the course of our society at a time when everyone realizes that the politicians in power don't read the bills they vote for, that they take an oath to uphold the Constitution and then ignore it. In fact citizens who merely raise the question of constitutional authority at town meetings are considered to be loony or wing nuts!

So just possibly the numbers who join the C4L will continue to grow into the millions and tens of millions as it could. This time we have the internet to help educate and inform. This time we have college and high school age enthusiasts growing the movement among their colleagues. Presently on the Young Americans for Liberty site www.YALiberty.org I found that there are 148 colleges involved and growing. Remember these future tax payers will be carrying the enormous federal debt load during their working lives.

Do the math! 200K each reach one more thus 400K who reach one more 800K and so on 1.6M, 3.2M, 6.4M then 12.5M, 25M and so on until we have enough to restore the Republic and the Constitution.

The mistaken premise is that each will endeavor to reach more. Not every member takes the trouble or is motivated to recruit so the growth depends on those who are more motivated and perhaps have more opportunities to enlighten others. The population isn't static and hopefully the die hard socialist, statist, collectivists, mystics and altruists will die off while the numbers who are exposed to the thinking of the free market school will increase. My contention is that most who are made aware of rational ideas in the realm of philosophy, ethics, psychology and economics, history and political science will become immune to the brainwashing nonsense of those who advocate for government involvement in everything.

What is the doubling time?

Ba'al Chatzaf

Ba'al,

The answer to your question remains to be seen. I will keep track of the time it takes to add certain increments, perhaps 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50,000, 100,000 to give us an idea of the rate of growth "going forward" as the politicians like to say.

In my experience it is not difficult to entice people to check out this phenomenon. Many thank me for simply making them aware of it. Many say it gives them a kind of hope which replaces a sense of foreboding and hopelessness they feel watching the present administration engage in one power grab after another.

If anything is likely, the rate of recruitment will increase as more people realize what is at stake is nothing less than their own freedom and that of their children and grandchildren.

When I joined the first day I found out about this Campaign For Liberty there were about 6000 members. There have been quite a few doublings and redoublings since then in about a year's time to reach 200,012 today. 6K, 12K, 24K, 48K, 96K, 192K. That is five doublings. 200K, 400K, 800K, 1.6M, 3.2M, 6.4M that would be five more. 6.4M, 12.5M, 25M, 50M that would be five more! So if it takes another year to have five redoublings then in a couple of years there will be 100,000,000 members. The rest of the population will not all be radical, militant leftists either!

I plan to go to the Barney Frank town hall meeting on Tuesday. It is supposed to be devoted to the health care reform plan. I think I will remind him that he and all the other congressmen and senators and justices and the president took an oath to uphold the Constitution. As I understand it all the powers the Founders granted to the Congress are enumerated in Article 1 Section 8. Nothing in that section empowers the Congress to be involved in medical care or the relationship between a doctor and a patient. Town Hall meeting members who have raised the question of the Constitutionality of Obama's intrusion in that relationship have been called wing nuts.

I will ask Barney Frank if he thinks raising the question of the Constitutionality of government involvement in medicine is crazy. If so, since when is it uncalled for to question the Constitutionality of government actions? What is the meaning of the oath of office to uphold the Constitution?

Ba'al,

I think more people who find out about the campaign for liberty don't join it even though they are sympathetic with its premises and goals. The premise is that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and the politicians should uphold it as they take an oath to do. The goal is to replace with those who ignore the oath with those who are ready to adhere to the oath and to restore the Constitutional Republic the Founders had in mind.

Today there are 213,562 at the moment and it just keeps growing. I expect the doubling will take less time as time goes by as we gain visibility for this movement. 213,574 an hour later. Five more doublings over the next year would lead to over 6 million members and then another year would enable us to accomplish our goals. This is doable and feasible as well as plausible and the country is ready for it. It is happening as we see with no let up. This will certainly change the dialog in all campaigns for office for years to come.

Congratulations Gulch:

"Thanks to the thousands of Campaign for Liberty members who have tirelessly dedicated themselves to spreading the word, gathering petitions, and putting continuous pressure on Congress by calling, writing, and faxing, Congressman Ron Paul informed C4L today that House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank has officially agreed to hold hearings on HR 1207! The hearings are tentatively scheduled for Friday, September 25 at 9:00 am."

Thanks for the post. One concern is that the Audit of the Fed might become a footnote in some other massive Washington bill. The C4L is urging their representatives to vote the Audit the Fed bill as a standalone bill on its own merits because "full transparency in our nation's monetary system is too important."

Three more Congressman have joined the 282 others to cosponsor HR1207 and one more Senator has joined the other 23 to cosponsor S.604. I emailed my Senator today using www.downsizeDC.org urging him to become a cosponsor or to tell me his reason why he will not. After all this administration is supposed to be all about transparency.

Nice Youtube video Adam. Some positive comments. My only concern is that there is also some double-speak: Deflation is bad.. but as things get better, we expect the money that the Fed has temporarily created to disappear. Hmmm...

Ba'al,

Membership doubled and redoubled several times this last year and there is no reason to presume this growth will not continue in the coming year. If anything the rate may increase given the concerns so many people have about our power grabbing president.

The number of people who are spreading the word about the existence of the Campaign For Liberty keeps growing so each step becomes feasible.

www.campaignforliberty.com 214,887 at the moment.

They will have a presence at the 9/12 rally today in Washington, D.C. and will promote the movement. Speeches will be televised and seen by millions.

And what is it that you are counting on to restore our republic?

Now there are 290 cosponsors of HR1207, enough to assure passage over a presidential veto.

Also Ron Paul's new book, END THE FED, is number 2 on Amazon.

Something approaching its saturation point ? inertia slowing ? However, more fellow travelors than we had before and this is a long high road we have to take this back or even to avoid the safe that is falling on our heads.
