FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 28, 2001 NEWS RELEASE Stanley for U.S. Senate
=========================================================== (DENVER CO) Are You a Domestic Terrorist? After reviewing a newly published flyer from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Rick Stanley, Libertarian candidate for the U.S. Senate, declared that the war against an unconstitutional government has just been escalated. To read an unexpurgated version of this flyer, visit the Stanley for Senate web site at http://www.stanley2002.org/FBI-MCOSTerrorist.pdf The flyer is entitled "If You Encounter Any of the Following, Call the Joint Terrorism Task Force." According to this flyer, the FBI is attempting to identify criminal activities associated with domestic terrorists. It says that this information sheet will assist uniformed patrol officers in identifying potential domestic terrorists. Domestic terrorists are defined as groups or individuals operating entirely inside the U.S. and attempting to influence the U.S. government or population to effect political or social change by engaging in criminal activity. The potential criminals listed in this information sheet include: 1) "Defenders" of the U.S. Constitution against the federal government and the UN (Super Patriots), and right wing extremists. 2) Individuals identified as "Common Law Movement Proponents" who ask under what authority a patrolman has stopped or pulled him over. 3) Numerous references to the U.S. Constitution might also mark someone as a domestic terrorism suspect. 4) People whose political motivations are rooted in Marxist/Leninist philosophy are "Left-Wing Terrorists." 5) People who care about such subjects as animal rights and abortion; urban riot agitators; and doomsday cult members are automatically suspect. 6) If you claim that driving is a right, not a privilege, or if you attempt to "police the police" you are also a domestic terrorism suspect. The flyer does not refer to terrorists from foreign countries. We must remember that the so called Patriot Act was only allowed to pass because it explicitly referred to foreign, not domestic, terrorists. After reading the flyer, Libertarian candidate Stanley said: "Since the unconstitutional 'Patriot Act' was passed by the Congress, the Senate and the President, we have been continuously assured that our constitutional rights are not being taken away. We have been told that this is temporary; our rights will eventually be restored; and the benevolent U.S. government will never use these new laws against its own citizens, but only against terrorists threatening our country with aggression from abroad. "Americans, secure in their lifelong belief that their government is benevolent, do not believe that an unconstitutional threat against the Bill of Rights could be a bad thing, because the U.S. government would never abuse its own citizens. They believe that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are antiquated documents that no longer apply to our society in 2001. People say that these documents are old, and have no relevance for today; that they are 'living documents,' to be changed and interpreted by the bureaucrats at will. The brainwashing of the American people by the public school system and the media has created a docile, uninformed, uneducated and uncaring populace that is unwilling to defend the documents from which our republic derives its strength. Unless these documents are construed in their literal word-for-word form, which frames the boundaries the people have set for our government, we will have a lawless government that can and will do anything it wants to do. "This sort of unconstrained government is indistinguishable from all the other governments on this planet. Such an unconstrained government does not deserve the pride, patriotism and allegiance of the American people. Without the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the U.S. government has no lawful authority, because all the government's lawful authority is derived from the consent of the American people. "As a defender of the U.S. Constitution, I have now been branded by the FBI as a domestic terrorist. The cowardice of government officials who have violated their oath to defend our Constitution by remaining silent in the face of this assault against the Bill of Rights is a slap in the face to all Americans, past, present, and future. The audacity of the FBI agents who produced this flyer is an affront to the liberty and freedom of all Americans. The birthright of all Americans is being destroyed by an unconstitutional U.S. government that acts as if our rights do not exist and the constitution does not apply. "Throw these scumbags out of office. Take your country back. Restore your freedoms, and your constitutional rights. Liberty is not a gift from a benevolent government. It is your birthright." ##30## =========================================================== For information about the Libertarian Party of Colorado please visit http://www.lpcolorado.org.
