Freedom Action Conference

Michael Shaw, founder of Freedom Advocates, formerly Freedom 21 Santa Cruz, was a participant in the first Local Agenda 21 initiative in Santa Cruz, California. When he realized just what the policies of Local Agenda 21 -- known as sustainable development, ICLEI, and a host of other names -- began to counter the impact of the policies and founded his organization to help develop strategies for local organizations.

I met author New York Times best-selling author Thomas E. Woods, Jr. at the Valley Forge Freedom Action Conference last month, but was unable to interview him then.

Amanda Teegarden, from OK-SAFE which played a key role in stopping the Trans-Texas Corridor, talked to me about their efforts to lobby legislators in her state, teaching others how to have a voice, and the expansion of the reasons to collect biometric information from citizens.

Richard Mack was the sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, when the Brady Bill was signed into law. He filed suit against the federal government, and won at the Supreme Court. You probably haven't read that decision or the opinion which accompanied it, which said that "states are not subject to federal direction," and that is what Sheriff Mack has most recently written about. He is a proponent of the Constitution and of officers keeping their oath of office.

I have a series of interviews done while we were in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, at the Freedom Action Conference last weekend.
