What It s Really About . (In June 1999, I sent out a question to each State Senator, asking them whenthey intended to stand up to unconstitutional gun-control legislation. Therewere a few stock answers, I assume these were from some automated reply systemor office lackey. The best replies came from Thaddeus McCotter, and Mike Rogers.

State Senator Alma Wheeler Smith also responded courteously, though she opposesthe right to carry a concealed weapon. This is based upon a response I sent backto her, thanking her for her time and kind manner in which she replied to me.)Too often, everyone resorts to name-calling and accusations regarding thesematters.However, I am compelled to reply.I have a wife, and two very young sons. I am not always with them, as we workdifferent shifts.I cannot imagine anyone suggesting that my wife and children are somehow"unworthy" of the most effective means of protection that a person can now have.Nor can I imagine that the safety of myself and my family should be potentiallysacrificed in the name of "safer streets."I am sure you have been bombarded with numbers and statistics from both sides of

this argument. I am sure that others will continue to furnish you with facts andfigures, each supporting his or her own particular position.I respectfully furnish you with this: The lives of my family will be protected,to the best of my ability, because I love them more than I love any laws, morethan I love anything, even more than I love my own life.This is not about "safe streets", or a "polite society", for me. This is notabout patriotic arguments or statist belief systems. It is not about governmentat all.This response is not about flag-waving, or who is right and who is wrong. Thishas little, if anything, to do with any written document or court decision.It has nothing to do with any public opinion poll.This response is about a two year old boy named "Dewey", who loves Star Wars andmonkeys and parks, his baby brother, who now has three teeth, and their mother,

who makes beans and cornbread sometimes, which is nearly as good as Grandma's.It s about a hard-working couple doing the best they can to guarantee a safe andhappy future for their beloved children.This is not about anything but my family, and my ability to protect them.This, dear legislators, judges, and members of the press, is personal.This is about a man's love for his own. There are no greater arguments or morecompelling reasons from where I sit, than my wife, who works late into the nightso we can have a better future, and our two precious boys who are upstairssleeping. Indeed, it is lunacy to suggest that any further reasons arenecessary.I love my family, and I will protect them as best as I can, always. I think most

Americans feel that way, too.I only wish that our legislators would see that....-Lee Miracle(Note: Since this was written, in 1999, I have since gotten a divorce, andremarried. I am now with my high school sweet heart, my one true love, andtogether, we have eight kids, two cats, a dog, a goldfish, and a pet rat. Wewill defend them with as much fervor as necessary....)

Back To School TimeBy now, all across the country, kids are back in school, paying rapt attentionto their NEA and AFT trainers.These students will be taught that individualism is bad, and that collectivismis good.They will be taught unquestioning obedience to authority. They will be taught toseek permission for each thing that they wish to do.They will be taught that "It takes a village to raise a child", a globalvillage.They will be taught that the self is relatively worthless in the face of some"greater good."They will be taught a twisted view of history, that distorts and diminishes thecauses and results of the ongoing American Revolution.

They will be force fed all manner of mind-altering drugs, to make them ever morecompliant.They will be herded together in undefended buildings, providing easy targets forthe next lunatic, which in turn furthers the agenda of tyrants.They will be asked if their parents have any guns. They may even be asked totell the teachers where Mommy and Daddy store these guns.They may be given intrusive physical examinations without parental permission,for their own good, of course.They will be taught that all individual rights are granted by the government,and therefore subject to withdrawal by the government.They will be taught that "A" only equals "A" if they feel good about it, becausefeelings are the only true "facts".They will be taught that one man s need is always another man s obligation.

They will be taught that they are just a small cog in a much bigger machine.They will be taught that The Constitution is meaningless and out-of-date.They will be taught to be obedient soldiers, eager consumers, productiveworkers, and compliant citizens.They will be taught to "shut up", "get in line", and "do as you re told."They will be taught to turn their minds off, and let their rulers think on theirbehalf.They will be taught to pay their taxes, get the necessary permits, and dowhatever the police officer tells them.They will taught not to think.They will be good slaves-Lee

The "Parachute Analogy"Suppose you were on an airplane.Now suppose that this airplane was in some turbulent air. It would be nice tohave a parachute, wouldn't it?Just in case....Some people think that the plane is going to be fine, despite the turbulence.They think that they won't ever need a parachute. They refuse to believe thateven well-made planes do have accidents. Still, the bumpy ride may give themreason to be concerned...Some people, most people, probably, think it's good to have a parachute, buttalking or even really thinking about using it makes them very frightened. They


3/10

can become very hostile if you even suggest that they check their parachute.Some will even deny that they might need one, while nervously checking to see ifit's still there....Some people, the smart ones, I think, admit that they have a parachute, and theycheck it periodically to see if it's there, and to see if it still works, see ifit's packed correctly....just in case....Some people want to jump from the plane right now....The shakier the ride gets, the more turbulence the plane encounters, the more

people will be driven deeper and deeper into their beliefs. Some will deny, in amuch louder voice, that there's anything wrong...probably trying to convincethemselves more than anyone. Some will reach under the seat, or wherever theystore their parachute, and seriously think about strapping it on. The smartones, who have their 'chutes on already, will check the straps and harnesses,because, maybe, just maybe, the time to jump is coming soon. The less-than-calmcrowd will begin flinging themselves from the plane."Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm. We are experiencing some turbulence "-LeeUnderstanding Where Your Gun Rights Come From .There can be no doubt that our gun rights are currently under the most severeassault ever. We all know that if gun rights are eliminated or reduced, then

that can also spell the end of any other rights that you might think you have.Aside from gnashing your teeth a fair bit, what can you do to help protect yourgun rights, and therefore, the right of "a body of citizenry capable of bearingarms" to even exist?One of the most basic, critical flaws behind any discussion put forth by thosewho refuse to acknowledge your rights is the failure to grasp where our rightscome from.Most people argue against your right to bear arms from the viewpoint that sincesuch a right has been granted by the state, then such a right can be withdrawnor reduced by the state. This is the argument of statists all the time,regarding anything. They hold that all power rests with the state, and allrights are granted only by the good will and authority of the state. They couldnot be any more wrong.

So, the first step in educating someone about your rights is to clear up thatmisconception.Your rights, my rights, any rights are not the products of a mercifulgovernment, to be parceled out like candy.Rights, real, actual rights, exist above and beyond any government or document.Rights do not require supporting evidence or documentation. Rights are obvious,to all but the most dim-witted of morons.Rights are not subject to the herd mentality of the majority, the will of theAttorney General, or public opinion polls, either .You could say that we re "...endowed with certain inalienable rights ", but you might be called an extremist for that. Really-Lee

Getting The Ladies To Come ShootingWhile I am at work, or out and about doing militia things, who is home watchingthe children? My wife is.Now, my wife needs to clearly understand one thing for certain: When I am notthere, she is the person most responsible for defending our home and ourchildren.We can never expect that we should try to force our wives, daughters, or sistersto do anything. Lord knows that would be a wasted effort. But we can try, andshould be as persuasive as possible when trying to convince them that theyshould learn how to use our weapons as much as they can.To start, we can tell them how much they really mean to us, and that we cannot


4/10

stand the thought of them being harmed, by anyone. Tell them how empty our liveswould be without them. Explain to them how utterly devastated we would be, ifanything ever happened to them. Then, to seal the deal, tell them that we stillhaven't gotten the concept of sorting laundry down, and without them, ourfabrics will be gray and grungy looking...Laundry sorting aside, home defense is a serious issue. How many of us haveshotguns that our wives or daughters have never fired? How many of us take thekey to the gun safe with us when we go to work? How often do we make sure that

we are carrying the right weaponry to protect our own miserable backsides, whilethe home front sits bereft of proper armaments? Let's get our prioritiesstraight here....if anything happened to my family at home, I don't really knowhow much I would even care if my pistol was on straight.....Guys, I know it's hard, but we need to do a better job of bringing the wives,daughters, mothers and sisters to the range.Ladies, I know you might think this is some kind of macho hobby, or "gun phase"that your husbands, sons, brothers or fathers might be going through, butbelieve me, yourwelfare and protection are the most important thing to us, and it breaks ourhearts when we fail to convince you of the serious need to get in someself-defense and home-defense training.All the weapon training and range time that we spend, and every round fired

downrange by us, will be of no use if we are not home when needed. It falls onyou, especially the mothers who are home with the children on a daily basis, todevelop the skills necessary to safeguard that which we treasure so much.We know that nothing in nature equals the fury of a mother protecting her young,so why not hone that protective instinct to the point of being able to calmlyand effectively dispatch any threat to the household? If you are going toprotect our children, then why not use the best tools available?It's important to us that you learn how to use our weapons, not because we wantyou to clean the rifles after you fold the socks, but because we love you.And that's a fact.-Lee

We ll Print These Letters Here, Dammit

Okay, we know you send letters to the editor of your local paper all the time.We know that they don t print your letters, because THEY are liberal media pukeswho only run op-ed pieces from Handgun Control and The Committee to Worship TheGovernment. So we have come up with a solution. (Sometimes we do that .)This will be our new "We ll Print These Letters Here, Then, Dammit" section ofThe Field Report.This is how it will work: First, you send your magnificently crafted,pro-freedom missive to some local commie rag. Then, they don t print it becauseit comes from someone who can actually think. Lastly, out of frustration, youturn to your local misbegotten militia people, who will happily run your letterin their own newsletter.This makes you happy, because at least SOMEONE prints your letter.This makes us happy, because we have to look for less filler articles.

And the only people whom it would not make happy would never be caught deadreading a militia newsletter anyway, even though they should. (Be caught dead,that is )So, after a week or so of not seeing your letter published in the "letters tothe editor" section, send us a copy. If you want, you can tell us to whichpaper(s) you sent it, so we can mock them for not running your finely producedprosaic views.If they DO mistakenly publish something you or I have sent them, let us knowthat, as well. Sometimes you see your militia cohorts on the letters pageHey, we can t all be Carston Seales, but we can fire off a letter now and then.When you do, don t get frustrated at the lack of response .we ll print it here.

Dammit.-LeeHere is a letter I sent to The Detroit Free Press, in response to a letterwriter who suggested abolishing the 2nd Amendment .The writers who wish to bring The 2nd Amendment into the discussion regardingthe right to keep and bear arms always seem to avoid discussing The Constitutionfor Michigan, which states that "Every person has the right to keep and beararms for the defense of himself and the state." This is not subject to the lies

and distortions that the left often turns to when mentioning the 2nd Amendment.Furthermore, many such writers tend to hold the mistaken belief that ourConstitutions and Bill of Rights are what give us our rights. These rights existabove and beyond the scope of any mere written document. Our Constitutions onlyserve to define and limit the powers of government, not give people any rightswhich they already have, and which are naturally occurring.Every living being has the right to safeguard itself from aggression. The mosteffective way for humans to do so is to arm themselves.-Lee MiracleHere is a letter I wrote concerning the Million Cow March. I sent it to thelocal rags, and all around. It is probably too long to get printed anywhere buthere:

The landscape of human history is riddled with the bones of innocent civilianswho, believing their own governments to be just, disarmed themselves quietly,complacently, and with little resistance. From across this tragic landscape,these same bones scream out to the living, "Do not disarm yourselves! Do notsurrender your means of self-defense!"And do we hear them? Do we hear the Armenians? Do we hear the Cossacks? Do wehear six million Jews? Do we hear the Chinesepeasants? Do we hear the Cambodians? The Bosnians? The Rwandans? The KosovarAlbanians? Do their screams fall upon deaf ears?Or do we ignore them? Do we trample their bones with contempt?Do we proclaim, as they most certainly must have proclaimed in theirday, in their nations, "It cannot happen here?"How arrogant of Americans to believe themselves immune to tyranny. How foolish

to believe that genocide and oppression can exist only in other countries. Howstupid of us to disarm....How utterly stupid.Now comes The Million Mother March....A group so bent on kneeling before thealtar of the almighty state that they are willing to feed their own children tothe always-armed criminal element. We have never before been witness to such acomplete abdication of parental responsibility than the mother who proclaimsloudly, "My children are not important enough to defend. I will leave theirprotection in the hands of the state."Did the mothers in Armenia think the same thing? Did the Jewish mothers acrossEurope reach the same conclusion? Rwandan mothers? Bosnian mothers? Did they sowillingly offer their descendants to the state? Where are their children now,Million Mom Marchers? Where are the Jewish children of Europe? Did gun controlkeep them all safe? Did it? Is this the same "safety" that you would impose upon

my children? IS IT?I can only pray that there is a special place in Hell reserved for mothers whorefuse to safeguard their children by the best means available. And, Million MomMarch, if you think that by whoring yourselves out to the government you canlessen my ability to defend my family, then I can only pray for the chance tosend you there....God Bless our Free and Armed Republic.-Lee Miracle

"WHY YOU SHOULD GET INVOLVED"By LEE MIRACLE


6/10

The question has been asked, "Why should I get involved? What can any of us do?"I propose to furnish some answers, and perhaps to encourage greater involvementin these and other such efforts.Before we can suggest to you why you should get involved, we will tell you,briefly, why we are still involved.We choose to remain here, in the public, in the light of day, looking forward tothe time when the very forces that threaten our liberty have to develop a bunkermentality; when the bloated, bureaucratic gasbags have to have secret meetings;

when jackbooted bob himself has to flee to the hills. We are involved for thecause of freedom and liberty, for these causes, you yourself should becomeinvolved. Let us examine some specifics.You should get involved because freedom of speech is under attack by thetelecommunications law, the anti-terrorism bill and the intentions of a rulingclass that has no respect for you and wants to hear no part of your complaints.You should get involved because the right to peaceably assemble, as we have donehere this evening, is threatened by those who have contempt for any gathering offree minds.You should get involved because the basic, natural right of self-preservation isnow denied us by a monolithic, uncaring bureaucracy. You should get involvedbecause whether or not you even own your own life is a matter that thelegislature and the courts have given over to tyrannical gun boards; boards who

take delight in the fact that they believe they can deny you something that godhimself has given you.You should get involved because we have an educational system whose only goal isto furnish mindless worker drones to global corporations; an educational systemthat drowns our nation's children in a sea of failure and despair; aneducational system that refuses to teach about God or the Constitution; aneducational system that fills our children with drugs to make them morecompliant; an educational system that seeks to undermine the basic family valuesthat hold the country together.You should get involved because we cannot ever truly own property unless we paya tribute to the state. You should get involved because we need a permit toimprove our own homes and property.You should get involved because we are forced to get a permit to buy or sell

anything, and all that we buy or sell is subject to more and more taxation andfees, and costs. You should get involved because forfeiture and seizure lawscontinue to raise revenue for law-enforcement agencies at the growing expense ofour constitutional rights; because property seizure is portrayed by the media asa good and necessary thing, and not the abomination that it truly is; becausethere are even weekly television shows that highlight the terrible violations ofconstitutional rights, and no one seems to be outraged about it.You should get involved because the directive that sent our troops to formerYugoslavia, PDD-25, has not yet been made public, and we have a congress thatrefuses to demand that it is, and a media that ignores it.You should get involved because the media, instead of being the bearers of truththat they should be, only serve as propaganda for the socialist agenda of theNew World Order.

You should get involved to help combat their lies, cover-ups, and deception.You should get involved because so many people who would claim that they lovefreedom. Are at home watching television right now.You should get involved because we must toil for six months or more each year tofeed the ravenous beast in Washington; a beast that continues to grow hungrierand hungrier at your expense.You should get involved because certain agencies of this nation have committed astring of barbaric atrocities upon American citizens, and little has been doneabout it.You should get involved because someone, somewhere, has an implantable biochipdestined to be installed in your right hand, and those of our children as well.


7/10

You should get involved because GATT and NAFTA are grotesque violations of oursovereignty.You should get involved because the money that's in your pocket is not realmoney.You should get involved because Vincent Foster did not kill himself.You should get involved because a mother was shot to death while holding herbaby.You should get involved because a church was burned to the ground with people

trapped inside.You should get involved because too many people live in fear of what shouldrightfully be their servants.You should get involved because many others are not.You should get involved because there remains much work to be done.You should get involved because the nation is still threatened by the globalelite. You should get involved because we are still here.We are still here; we will not be disarmed... And we will not rest.We will not rest until citizens are free to live their lives with minimalinterference from government.We will not rest until the basic God-given right of self-defense is againrecognized by our representatives. Not granted, not given or bestowed, butrecognized.

We will not rest until the threat of a one-world global government has passed.We will not rest until the United States has withdrawn from the United Nations.We will not rest until our elected public servants realize that they are indeedjust that: our servants.We will not rest until the Constitution is once again the supreme law of theland.We will not rest, and we will not go away.And to those who fail to see that this struggle is theirs as well, to those whodo not recognize the threats that hang over the land, to those who have yet tojoin the cause:We implore you to look at the reasoning, the evidence, the facts. Look at whatis happening around you. Look at how your elected officials treat you. Look atthe sheer passion of those who have joined the struggle. That alone should

encourage you to investigate.We implore you to read the Constitution; learn the history. Read the federalistpapers; develop an understanding of how the country was intended to be; and thenlook at what has become of freedom in this country.To those of you - watch, hesitantly while the work of freedom is being done, weimplore YOU in the most humble of terms, to rise up now and join the cause. Finda group or unit or organization that you can work with, and jump in with bothfeet. The need has never been this great and the battle has never been thisdesperate. The cause of freedom needs you all, and it needs you now.Let this be the moment in which you decide to commit to the battle. Let this bethe moment in which you decide to begin or renew your activism.There can be no gain from watching television. There can be no gain fromcomplaining or grumbling. There can be no gain from hiding in a bunker.

Be proud to be a patriot! Rally around the cause. And carry the flag forward andkeep it up high!And to those of you who are in the fray, to those of you who play a part nomatter how small, to those of you that come to the meetings, make contributionsof any sort; to those who care enough to stand with us, we continue to offer ourtime, our efforts, and from our heart we offer you our most sincere gratitude.Thank you so much, God bless you all, and God bless the republic. -Lee

One of the points that we like to stress here in The Michigan Militia, is thatyour rights DO NOT COME FROM THE GOVERNMENT. Nor do your rights come from The


8/10

Constitution.You have rights simply because you are a human being. No government or documentcan give or take these rights.Governments exist to protect these rights, and constitutions exist to ensurethat governments do not exceed this function.Yes, it really IS that simple. -LeeThe Most Powerful Football Team In Alaska

The very valid argument was made that we are the greatest nation in the world. Icompared that to being "The Most Powerful Football Team In Alaska.""The Most Powerful Football Team In Alaska?"Someone once said that Princess Diana was the most beautiful member of the RoyalFamily, and the response was, "so is that like the most powerful football teamin Alaska?" Meaning that it really doesn't take much."The most free country in the world." Given the current state of things, this isnot really an overly spectacular title.Consider the following analogy: We have a truck with 8 cylinders, it runs, butonly 6 of the plugs are firing; and it could use an oil change and maybe someother minor work. Should we be content to drive it in this state of disrepairjust because the rest of the world is still on horseback?No, my beef isn't that we are not great, or prosperous, or free. My beef is that

I see signs that many of our elected officials view Americans as property to betaxed and utilized to further their own agenda. Of course, we de-elect them, butthen the next schmuck sticks it to us anyway.Personally, I do as much as I can within the system. I write the newspapers, mycongressmen and try to publicly spread the word. But I proclaim loudly that Iown myself. When government, or anyone else wishes to contest that proclamation,I have to be ready to enforce it, by force if necessary.In Defense Of Standards (or Why We Have Level One...)"A well-regulated militia..." What does this mean? Regulated by whom? It means"well trained". Self-regulated. How would this come about with no standards? "Amob-like association...being necessary...." to what? What will be regulated withno standards? What will be achieved or demonstrated? Nothing....

What of a militia with no standards? No training requirements? No demonstrationof BASIC COMPETENCE AND DEDICATION? What does it become? A social club? You wantto DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION WITH TEA AND CRUMPETS? In matters of defending thisnation, this way of life, a standard of skill is DEMANDED AND NECESSARY.Anything less is not acceptable. Anything less weakens the cause, anddemonstrates the pre-ordained failure of our endeavors. I will neither embracenor tolerate such weakness among my cohorts.These (Level One) are not difficult standards to accomplish. They place no undueburden upon anyone. They are basic and simple self-regulation. Without them, weare a mob, we become a democracy, instead of a militia. We do not prohibitanyone from reaching these standards, and indeed are willing to help each andevery interested citizen achieve them.A militia cannot, and will not, be conducted from the comfort of the couch, or a

desk. Many of our projects require desk work, but the ultimate crux of what weare, what we represent, what we do, lies in our simple training standards. Ifwe, as citizens, intend to EVER serve as a credible counter-balance to tyranny,we must train to a level of competency, not complacency. To dilute that, toweaken that, to lessen the impact of whatever warning signal that we can projectas ARMED citizens, willing to defend ourselves and our freedoms, is not sane.It is not hard to qualify as level one. Most people can do it. To decry it asunfair to those who do not wish to make an effort is ludicrous. Is it fair totake on the responsibility of defending the Republic, while rejecting the notionof COMPETENCY AND CAPABILITY? Is it fair to the Patriots who might one day sharea foxhole with you, to never have proven to anyone, even yourself, that you


9/10

belong in that foxhole? Is it fair to the militia, to not even MAKE AN EFFORT tobe self-regulated?What sets us apart from the beer-and-burger militias? Why do we get overwhelmingpraise from our web page? Because we have set standards. Standards that many ofus worked hard to test, develop, and promulgate. No, these are not the standardsof an elite military unit. We know better. They are the ideal standards for acitizens' militia. Never let go of these standards. Never surrender that whichmakes you different from a bowling league or a knitting club. Always, always,

always, be self-regulated. Always, always, always, make it MEAN something to "bein the militia".You don't join the militia by signing a piece of paper, or raising your righthand. You join the militia by DEMONSTRATING that you are SELF-REGULATED, andABLE-BODIED, and CAPABLE. In other words, you earn it. Just like anything elsethat has any value.You earn it.-LeeDamn your laws. Damn your lies. Damn your public opinion polls. Damn your "safestreets". Damn your gun bans. Damn your pro-government, liberal media.Americans will never be disarmed. Americans will never be defenseless.Americans are neither stupid nor cowardly enough to hand in their guns.

You re going to have to come and take them.And we re ready for you .. -LeeI WILL NEVER SURRENDERNo matter who fallsBrokenBy the waysideNo matter who fleesFrom the frayNo matter whoLoses interestOr Faith

Or HopeNo matter who laughsAt my effortsNo matter who mocks meOr spits upon meNo matter what barbsAre flung at meIn disregard for what I believeNo matter how slim the chanceNo matter how high the mountainNo matter how mighty the enemyI WILL NEVER SURRENDERAnd while I yet breathe
