Subject: [BRIGADE] NC: The Hand of God Gave Us Victory!
Dear Brigade,
We completed our petition drive in one of the most anti-third party states
in the country -- North Carolina. Despite the enormous roadblocks put in
our way by the GOP-DEM Establishment we turned in 60% more
signatures than we needed!
The hand of God must be upon us. Read on.
GO BRIGADE GO!!!!!

Subject: Thank you for all of your help!!!
Linda,
I wanted to let you know how grateful I am to you for helping me contact
the campaign, and in getting to North Carolina. I arrived 29 April and
just returned yesterday. We had several snags as well we know that
Satan won't relinquish his WILL easily.
I met wonderful people there and will never forget our Brigadeer's and
Reformer's. We were united in spirit and got the job done against all
odds. We are a patriotic and passionate group and when the going gets
tough the TOUGH GET GOING!!! Thank God for all those who remember
our cause in the Prayer Brigade's. We must place HIM at the Front.
John Steven's is a terrific organizer and Elizabeth Christman and Diana
Haas and all the team leaders across the state worked extremely hard
and slept little. Joe Caffaso was helpful in the last days before the
deadline hit, in keeping communications open.
Bay Buchanan arrived with her son and motivated all of us. We knew
that victory was near and nothing could stop us but ourselves.
We had people from Missouri, Indiana, Staten Island, North Dakota,
Minnesota, Arkansas, North Carolina and of course, my home state of
Nebraska! The other teams from all over the state had people from
across the states. We found the people residing in North Carolina are
extremely warm, polite and hearty people, who are REFORM minded.
God Bless them all!!!
God Bless you!!!

I am forwarding an e-mail message about North Carolina. North Carolina
Chair Diana Haas opened the signature effort with prayer, and there has
been a great victory there for Pat. Praise God! Keep the faith because
God can work miracles!

A Week To Remember
Well, we made it! This week Buchanan Brigadiers from all corners
answered the rallying cry to North Carolina and converged for a massive
signature drive. State chairs flew in from all over the country-- bringing
their sons and daughters and friends. Squads of young people flew in, a
Mormon contingent from Miami, a Scots-Irish gang from Minnesota,
three women from Missouri whom we nicknamed "the Viking ladies."
Several staffers (including yours truly) came down from national
headquarters in Virginia, adding their cars and cell phones, and, in my
case, quite mediocre signature-gathering skills.
And we hit the malls and the festivals, the ball games, stock car races
and flea markets, planted ourselves outside parking lots at 5 pm and in
the line at McDonald's at noon. And we collected 81,965 signatures of
registered North Carolina voters -- 60 percent more than the required
number. On Wednesday afternoon we turned them into the counties for
certification.
Republicans of course were eager to keep PJB off the ballot; they know
that George W. Bush represents no more than tepid country club
conservatism, and that folks worried about working class issues, national
sovereignty issues, or moral issues will go elsewhere if given the
opportunity. GOP men would rarely sign, --"I'm not interested" is the way
the invariably polite North Carolinians put it. But everyone else would--
blacks, working class whites, young moms in tee shirts and jeans with
two kids in tow, and just about everyone under thirty. I remember one
man at a gas station ripping off his work gloves and saying "GIVE ME
THE PEN!" He wanted, he said, to be part of history.
We all have our stories, the cat and mouse games with the mall police -
the Walmart which let us camp out permanently by the door after
Buchananites help them nab a shoplifter. For me, I'll remember the
prayer NC chair Diana Haas led us in Friday morning, as we gathered at
8 AM with our clipboards and prepared to cover the state. We didn't pray
for good weather (two rainy days would have killed us at that point) but
the Lord listened anyway.

I watched the National Rifle Association annual meeting on
C-SPAN today. Charlton Heston gave a stirring and rousing
speech. However, I feel concerned that the NRA is focused
probably on supporting George Bush. They talked about
defeating Gore and getting the Clinton-Gore crowd out of
office. The implication was support for George W.
Doesn't the NRA leadership get it? - like Pat says - that
the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates are
opposing wings of the same bird of prey? That George W will
lead us to our loss of freedom and national sovereignty just
like Gore. That the Global New World Order Agenda (which is
a One World Totalitarian State which enslaves mankind) will
be advanced by either man, each just a puppet of the power
elite who created and advances this agenda.
The NRA is an important organization and they need to get
behind Pat.We need to pray that the NRA leadership give Pat
some support and a voice in their organization so the
membership can choose Pat and not Bush.
Unfortunately, probably every major conservative and
religious organization has been infiltrated by power elite
"tools" whose mission is to steer those organizations
astray. Some of these "tools" are conscious of their
evil-doing (which they rationalize is not evil), and some
are not. Others may be good people who think that they are
doing right, but who are governed by human ego
considerations that make them vulnerable to following the
direction of Satan, and not following the direction of God.
We must pray for people to see the truth and to make the
right choices in the NRA and in all conservative and
religious groups, and for false leaders--wolves in sheeps'
clothing--to be exposed and routed from their seats of power
and for true God-appointed leaders to rise to power in these
organizations.
In America we have to raise our vision above the political
parties and use discrimination to discern the correct
leaders. Political party consciousness is a divide and
conquer tactic. We need to pray that American will follow
the true leader, wherever they find him or her and that they
will pledge their allegiance not to a political party, but
to the truth and to freedom.
Let us pray for discrimination, for exposure, and for Godly
people to rise to positions of leadership and power.
