The Texas Attorney General has come out with a legal opinion that is dangerous to liberty

1. God's plan for me is to obey Him.
2. I am to minister to His flock.
3. I am to trust in the Lord rather than in my own schemes.

I am no longer trying to raise funds in order to get a strategy conference together. I repent.

I am however, praying that the Lord would provide $15,000 so that I can invite certain faithful servants of the Lord to gather together to prayerfully consider a course of action. The money is needed to meet the physical needs of those who are invited to the meeting, and to take care of logistics and administrative costs associated with the meeting.

Here is the situation:

   - I, along with others like me, cannot identify myself with the number of the beast.
     - This conviction comes with certain logistic life on Earth obsticles.
     - The obstacles are manifested due to lawlessness of the government, and men.

I have begun ministering to those who are convicted that they cannot identify themselves with the Social Security Number due to the prohibitions of Revelation, Chapter 13.

For those who have the conviction that they cannot identify with a universal identification number, it is time to take action or hold our peace.

The Texas Attorney General has come out with a legal opinion that is dangerous to liberty. He opined that Texas is justified in denying a pesticide license to a man solely because he, for religious reasons, cannot use a SSN to identify himself on a Commercial Pesticide Applicator license application. The Attorney General believes that Texas is compelled by 42 USC §666 to refuse the man what is necessary for him to continue his vocation as a crop duster.

We want to take action along with this man, Gene, who is a member of our Society. The Attorney General's published opinion cites many positions taken by all fifty states. We need to take this problem on in full scale. It very well may be that this Texas case is ripe for the action that needs to be taken. Once we begin, we cannot stop half way.

In the past, three people beside myself, have provided funds to pay a litigator to do some work to support our fight for liberty. The amount sent by each person was $500.00, $300.00 and $10.00. We have also been given free web hosting at www.christianliberty.org. The money was given to Herb Titus to pay him for his services in defending my wife from criminal prosecution for "driving without an operator's license." As it turns out, Herb did many hours of work and did not use the money given to pay himself. Instead, he used the money to pay out-of-pocket expenses for our cases relating to being free to live without identifying ourselves with a SSN.

Yes, it was "my wife" who was the defendant. However, this is not about "us". I and my family are certainly members of this society that are wrongly being denied liberty. We will continue to act on our common rights in spite the fact that we may be wrongfully jailed for doing so. We will also allow ourselves to be the subjects of litigation if it is required for the sake of the work that needs to be done to secure our liberty. However, we know we are not in this alone. There are others who need help, and others who ought to shoulder part of the work.

Here is my call. We need funding. Herb has done many hundreds of hours of work for us over the last five years, and in the last three years, he has not gotten paid. January alone, he put in well over a hundred hours of work for us with no guarantee of a paycheck. He has done it because of God's leading him to do so. He is willing to do more. However, he explained to me the magnitude of the work that needs to be done if our goal is to secure our liberty. He is not able to commit himself to the effort unless he can see that we have the commitment to do, and to give, what it takes to see the work through.

I want everyone who has voiced a commitment to this effort, or voiced an agreement with our convictions, to prayerfully consider sending funds as soon as possible. The amount will be placed in an escrow account targeted for legal expenses as we prepare to take on the issues cited by the Texas Attorney General in his recent opinion. We may be taking action in Texas, and it may be in other states. It depends on the results of the work that we do to prepare for the action.

Work we have done in the Carmichael v. United States brought a very favorable ruling in the Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit, 298 F.3d 1367 (Aug 2002). It is well worth the reading. We have worked and sacrificed much, and God has intervened mightily and supplied our need to bring it to pass. Now we must agree together to do more.

Please!!!! Contact me by email and let me know what you are willing to do. I will post the input in our newsletter or on the web page. If nothing comes in, or something comes in, you will all know it.
