Today I interview James Ostrowski, libertarian extraordinaire, lawyer, writer, and tea party organizer. Mr. Ostrowski is the founder of Free Buffalo (2005), and author of the tea party manifesto, “How We Can Win the Second American Revolution Without Firing a Shot.” He’s been fighting the political machine for 35 years.

Ilanna Mercer is has traveled an interesting path and has come a long way regarding the wars these last few years. If you know her, it will make the interview all the more interesting, as her questions also contain statements that reveal her views. If you don't know her, it's still a great interview, after which the linked "manifesto" article is one of the most valuable activist documents I've seen in a long time.

Jim - a coordinator - Restore The Republic Tea Party yesterday

Submitted by tony m on Sun, 04/19/2009 - 15:30.

We had a great event yesterday yesterday in Buffalo, NY! About 400 people. We weren't about taxes and such. Check out our program agenda for what we put together. Protest march then back to a club for the inside event with educational video's and speakers. The crowd was fired up to the max! We had em roaring.

I asked the people, how many of them know what an oligarchy is. About 10%.The Forms of Government from Overview of America was played first. The people were riveted to the tv's and screen. I mean, like hypnotized. My girlfriend went to get us some beers but didn't want to leave the bar area and walk through the crowd because the place was packed and everyone was just standing there, watching.

After that we had a Lenny Roberto from www.PrimaryChallenge.org come up to speak. Talk about power and passion. He explained about gerrymandering, fusion, district, becoming committeeman ....

Next we showed the "Join With Us" video that was put together. There were tears in eyes, and this was not a mellow video. The place was ours. It was great. (where can i upload this video to, Youtube disabled the audio)

We had numerous request for the videos, and whats next..

The G. Edward Griffin video from the Revolution March, a speaker on fiat currency, Money - a Brief History of Money video. Jim on Restoring the Republic and Joe on Preparing for an Economic Collapse.

Our 5' Campaign for Liberty banner was on the front of our speaker platform. We handed out an assortment of literature, all the dvd's went, republic magazine. We had a money - loss of purchasing power banner made.

Pictures coming.
