This will be a public act of resistance. If you need to preserve your anonymity, then best of luck to you, and you’re more than welcome to contribute ideas and moral support. And I’m sure there will be other battles for freedom, important ones, that you can join. But this effort, the one launched from this site, will not be secret, and it won’t be anonymous/pseudonymous.
I’ve written up a public declaration of my commitment to do something this year, and I ask that any of you who can make the same commitment (not necessarily to do the same something as me) to sign with your full name, city, state (if applicable), and country. Signing commits you to nothing enforceable, of course. There’s no need to consult your lawyer before signing, but please do consult your own conscience.
There are many ways to wage the fight for freedom. I’m concentrating on the ways we can shout our love of our own independence from the rooftops.
Someone identifying as Will commented on the Public Declaration page, but as the comments for that page are only for signatories, I’ve reposted it here:
“Check out:

For John Galt’s speech!”
Someone identifying as Patty did the same thing. Reposting…
“Being selfish is not enough. You also have to PRODUCE, Be a productive member of society in order to qualify as a “john galt”. Lying, cheating and stealing to get rich doesn’t count.
Neither does cutting corners, like the NY firm who was demolishing the Deutsche Bank building and got caught after people died, the name of the firm was John Galt.”
This time from a Carlos Norris:
“I wish there was a way to let people know that what your doing is not good for the economy and can actually make it worse off since you pretty much are crying about taxes. get over it, taxes are what pays for civilization.”
From “asdfasd”:
“haha, 8 people who mostly live in podunk towns. I’m sure you’re vital to the national economy.”
And with that, I think I’m done moving the comments from the Public Declaration page to here. I mean, my directions are straightforward, and if they can’t follow them….
I’m not going to rest until the top marginal tax rate is back to where it was under the Reagan Administration. Call your congressperson and demand this today!
Capitalists Against Sacrifice and Taxes (CAST) will shut down the economy on April 15 to protest the idea that sacrifice is good. Join us. Shut your business, take a day off work!
Besides your “What, could ye not watch with me one hour?” title, I have no indication that you are a Christian but there is an Atlantis of sorts called Christian Exodus (seen at said name dot org) in South Carolina and maybe a couple other geographic sites. They have been at it for years; i first heard of them on ABC news. But I am with you, hoping that this world might be saved by some fabulously organized Galt Movement. I am encouraged by your serious effort.
Let’s not be discouraged by the few signers of your declaration. Even the 912 petition (912petitions.com), hoping for a million, has only 10,000 signers so far. OUCH!
Oh, and being a blogger for years, I give your comment policy five stars.
Is the American government and are its supporters too far gone to be saved? Are the detractors of the human spirit too numerous and the accomplishers too few? Can unskilled people be taught and expected to live in a society where the unskilled are paid little and sometimes cannot survive?
Looking forward to your response.
