Many thanks to UW-Madison chapter member Shawn Kuhn for putting this short video together of our Constitution Day activities. We set up a table at the end of State Street on a section of campus that gets plenty of foot traffic.

We engaged in some interesting debates, handed out a lot of literature, and signed up quite a few new members. We distributed over 100 pocket Constitutions, to be more precise. We also handed out various literature promoting the cause of liberty, including information about S.604, the bill in the Senate to audit the Federal Reserve.

A more personal surprise of my own, even though it doesn't appear on camera, was meeting a fellow follower of the philosophies of John Locke. If you were unaware, Locke was someone whose writings and philosophies heavily influenced the Founding Fathers. Research him and his works if you get the time, it's well worth it. 

All in all, it was a good day! Those who did disagree with us, on whatever issue, were generally respectful and more than willing to engage in a good, friendly conversation. Something worthy of note was most were uneducated on how the Federal Reserve has run amuck and destroyed most of the value of our dollar.

What all patriots/humanitarians/revolutionaries need is patience, persistence, and consistence.
What does it mean to have patience...
It means to have an active positive manner and not be merely as a passive thing.
Taking or enduring hardships, or censure, or idiosyncrasies of others, is not necessarily patience at all.
These hardships become drudgery not only to ones self, but it also becomes an outlet of expressions from others that are never quite satisfied because there is no resistance from you. Passive patience, to be sure, has its place; but consider patience rather from the precepts of God's relationship to man: love/truth unbounded is patience.

Love manifested is patience.
Endurance at times is patience.
Consistence is always patience.

I'm impressed guys!  I did a lot of political work for liberty when I was in college in the 1970s (yah, I know, a long time ago), so I know what it takes to man public tables and hand out literature to passersby.  You did a great job with Constitution Day.

I'm so happy to see the next generation pick up the fight.  Each generation has to learn for themselves the value of liberty and the best ways to preserve it.  You're in the forefront of your generation - keep up the good  fight!
