AYN RAND QUOTE FROM ATLAS SHRUGGED: "When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you. . .you may know that your society is doomed."
Just read your letter to the JCS dated 1-10-2009 and not only commend you but pledge my support. I took the same oath as you (69-71) and feel stronger about it today that I did then. I, as you, have seen much of what we had in the form of rights taken away in the last several years and I've about had it. Unfortunately I have been preparing for this for several years as my calls and letters were answered with propaganda or lies as I'm sure yours were. I say unfortunate as I've worked all my life to retire a few years early so that I could fish, hunt, and just relax and enjoy what nature has to offer. Unfortunately I felt the need to acquire and conceal many more and quite a different type of supplies than I had planned.
Hopefully your letter and thoughts are shared within the JCS and other areas of the military making my preparations and those of many thousands of others very unnecessary.You can rest assured that if they are needed they will be used.
Thank you again,
