Dole) is now available on >diskette from LEADERS. We scanned and proofed this 1896 school text >book, and now have it ready for immediate shipment to school systems, >home schoolers, or anyone else who wants one. What a gem! > The book is a primer on ethics, government operations, economics >and history. Since it was written prior to the creation of the Federal >Reserve, the welfare bureaucracy, social security, etc., its emphasis is on >self government and individual responsibility rather than Big Brother. > It is easy reading for elementary students, and features more involved >philosophical debates for advanced students. This text should be read by >everyone--students and parents alike. If you want a good read, skip >straight to the chapter entitled "Honest Money." You'll like it! We offer a >money back guarantee on that! > The price is only five FRN's per disk. Quantity pricing is available on > >10 or more units. This is the kind of text book that should replace the >typical books masquerading as "unbiased" academia in our school systems >today. > >AND ANOTHER ONE NEEDS HELP . . . > We need one (or more) document editing volunteer(s) to help us >finish the Elliot's Debates project. 3000+ pages are being scanned. It must >be proofread and corrected . . . a HUGE project! Call if you can assist. In >lieu of that, we are going to need a temporary employee. > Realistically, it will take several people at least 6 weeks at 40 hours >per week to finish this project. This is not a job for the meek! > WordPerfect >experience is a requirement. > For those unfamiliar with them, Elliot's Debates is a 5 volume set >containing the complete History of the Constitution. Included are James >Madison's notes from the floor of the convention of 1787, and the >transcripts of the conventions which ratified the Constitution in the >original >13 states. Also included are a hodge-podge of historical documents >including debates from the first sessions of Congress, assorted resolutions >and correspondence from the Founding Fathers, and etc. It is the most >thorough collection of information pertaining to the Constitution that >exists. > Its publication was achieved through an act of Congress in 1836 as >an official government document, and is now out of print. The set I am >working from is copyright 1888, and was in the private collection of Chase >Osborn, former Governor of Michigan. (This set is on loan to me courtesy >of Larry Pratt, director of Gun Owners of America. Thanks, Larry!) > The need to make this information available once again cannot be >understated. > LEADERS seeks to create a single CD-ROM disk containing Elliot's >Debates, the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, and other American >Historical Documents. By making this information available to researchers >and serious constitutionists, it will enable us to PROVE the intentions of >the >Constitution's Framers when questions arise about the application of >specific clauses. > >AMERICAN LEADERSHIP > We are very close to publication of another issue of American >Leadership Magazine. (If you have never seen the first issue, just let us >know, and we'll send you one to examine.) The articles for the second >edition are complete and in the hands of lay-up. > Instead of printing, the new edition of American Leadership will be >available strictly on the Internet. The manager of the Logoplex website (to >whom I am forever indebted) has taken the articles, and is beginning >production using cutting-edge new technology. > Using Adobe Acrobat , the magazine will be available to everyone, >worldwide, who has Internet access! The magazine will be connected to >our web pages. When it is ready (we are anticipating several more weeks >yet), you will be able to download the software (enabling you to read or >print >the magazine right from your home computer) and the magazine itself. > Last time around, we printed 30,000 copies of the magazine. Paper >is expensive. Distribution was limited to how many we sold, and how much >postage we could afford. > This time, millions of people can get a copy of the magazine, instantly, >via computer--FREE! > From what I am told, we will be one of the first full-sized magazines in >publication to use this new technology! > That is why we have delayed publishing a print version, and one >reason I haven't had much time to do the Insider's Report. I hope you'll >understand. > >WEB SITE UPDATED > A quick trip to our site on the World Wide Web will reveal some >astonishing new developments! We now have a map of America. A mouse >click on any state will instantly take you to that state's web site! So, if >you >want to download state constitutions, bill status, existing state law or >codes, >votes, court documents, or anything else your state has put up, just going >to the LEADERS home page can take you there! Many thanks to Ray >Koziel for all his help making the LEADERS page a one-stop for everything! > > >NEW "MAJORDOMO" AVAILABLE--FROM LEADERS. > As if Glenn at Logoplex hasn't been doing enough for us, he created >a new mailing list (the LEADERS-List) service connected to our website. >For those without a computer, I suggest you get one. This type of service >is like a 24 hour discussion group. > Every subscriber is authorized to "post" messages to the "host." >When your message is received, it is automatically mailed out to every >other subscriber. We can send each other updates on legislation, post >other legislative information (such as bills from Congress, articles from >news papers, etc.). > The only thing we are requiring of our subscribers is that the posting >relate, in some remote way, to legislation or law. > You may subscribe to the LEADERS list for free. To subscribe, type: > Subscribe leaders-l >in the body of an e-mail addressed to: > leaders-l-info@logoplex.com > That's all you need do to be on the list. (Remember, it is the "Leaders >List", hence make sure you type an "L", not a 1 [one] when subscribing. > >MEMBERSHIPS TO RENEW: > Probably because we don't constantly nag you, some folks have not >yet renewed their memberships. Don't worry--they can cancel my credit >privileges because I refuse to use a Social Security number, and even >attack me in the media--but I'm still going to pursue the LEADERS mission. > Please check your membership certificates! If you have not renewed >--folks, this office needs money badly. We don't need thousands (except >for the Elliot's project), but a few hundred would help me keep the postage >covered so that I can resume publication of the Insider's Reports. (... Now >that the American Leadership project is on its way, and a few other things >are settling down again.) > We never stop needing financial help to continue printing, duplicating >and creating tools for the constitutionist movement to use. If you have not >yet done so, please put LEADERS on your list of things to do today! Send >in a little extra, if you can . . . > >STATE COORDINATOR'S CORNER > LEADERS operates with a nationwide network of people--the most >active of which are our State Coordinators. If you wish to help in your >state, contact your State Coordinator to let him/her know what you can do. > (If you have the ability to do so, and your state is not listed below, >please indicate your interest in helping organize your state. There are >many things you can do!) > > LEADERS has one or more State Coordinators in each of the >following states: > AK, CT, FL, HI, ID, IL, MD, NH, NJ, NM, OH, PA, TX, WA, WI > > Many thanks go out to those who are truly going beyond the call of >duty in assisting the patriot movement. > This month, LEADERS gives special thanks, once again, to Bernice >Howell, our Idaho State Coordinator, for all her help in gathering >information >about the Senator Ipsen proposal to defeat the Con-con; and also for her >research efforts helping us prepare the forthcoming article on Idaho >Congresswoman Helen Chenoweth (see it in the new edition of American >Leadership). If we had a fireball like Bernice in every state, LEADERS >would soon be as recognized as American Bar Association! Thanks >Bernice! > Beginning the debate in your home town, or state, is easy. Decide >what you are best at. You can offer classes at your local church or >community college. You may be able to help train activists. Getting on >radio talk shows is important--and all of these types of activities are >critical >to the movement to restore constitutional government. > In most cases, achieving something is just about as easy as asking. > To help us expand our numbers, please remember to contact your >local radio talk shows! Tell them about us, and encourage them to have us >on the air with them! Call the show when the regular host is on the air and >politely suggest the LEADERS network of speakers! We have some very >articulate people that WILL generate interest in restoring the Constitution. >But unless we can get on those microphones, these ideas just sit and wait >for an audience.
