Hello everybody and thank you for tuning into the weekly report.

The first steps toward a Liberty platform.

Last weekend several hundreds of us gathered in Washington,

at the Ron Paul Institute Conference

to again proclaim our dedication to the cause of liberty

and our opposition to constant U.S. government assaults on that liberty.

Our collaborators included old friends like Judge Andrew Napolitano, who explained that the Bill of Rights was not added to the Constitution

to grant Americans liberties, but to recognize liberties already existed for all persons, regardless of nationality

by virtue of their humanity.

That is why the U.S. government was purposely or unwittingly in the wrong when it tried to

argue that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange did not have the privilege of our First Amendment protections

because he is not American.

He has these freedoms because he is human.

Our rights and liberties are granted to us

by our nature or creator.

So how do we get the government to stop interfering with the intention of our Creator?

As I told our crowd at the event, one thing we must do is educate ourselves.

We must read, study, and listen to others

so that we can better share the message of liberty with others.

That is the reason my Institute for Peace and

Prosperity puts on its regular conferences to help people learn about these

issues so that they may better pass them on.
