“All that is needed for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing” That is a paraphrased quote from Edmund Burke which says that it is not enough to recognize when something is wrong, but you have to do something to stop it. The evil in this case is the idea that there is nothing beyond the reach of the federal legislature if they can mandate that every citizen in this country be required to purchase a service under penalty of law. It is important that the good people resist this idea with all the enthusiasm and vigor they can muster, before precedent is allowed to take hold, and the Federal Legislature become emboldened to pass even more laws governing our activities.
This is the inspiration for the “Weld County Health Freedom Rally” taking place April 30th at the Destiny Christian Center located at 6250 West 10th Street, Unit 4 Greeley, Colorado. Doors will open at 6pm, and the speakers will start at 7pm. The theme will be Freedom through Federalism, and how a decentralized form of Government is the best protection against tyranny. We will also be circulating a petition effort being done by the Independence Institute, and looking for volunteers for that effort. Read the petition here.

If you are in the area, please make plans to attend this important meeting, further, please consider a small donation to the Colorado Tenth Amendment Center to help cover the cost of this effort, and for the fight for freedom that continues.
