There is a determined force in the world dedicated to an agenda designed to “reorganize human society.” To achieve that agenda they are on a drive to change our American economic system, abolish private property, and change our system of representative government.

Most importantly, they have focused on making those changes primarily through control of government on the local and state levels. They have trained a cadre of activists to present and promote legislative programs that are backed by various funding programs to entice local representatives to enact their agenda. That’s why it’s at the local and state levels where we must make our stand to stop them.

That's why our goal must be to take a stand and defend the three main principles of freedom, including free enterprise, private property and limited government intrusion in our lives. Specifically, taking direct action in your own community, thereby establishing it as a pocket of freedom or a "Freedom Pod." This then, becomes a shining example to pass on and grow in the next community,and the next, creating a freedom movement. To help you get started, APC has created the Activist Handbook, one of the most comprehensive tools ever prepared to provide local activists with the tools and training necessary to win.

Here are the details:

What Others Are Saying About Tom DeWeese

Tom DeWeese writes with a flair and the purpose of 'Common Sense' in a time when we dearly need some.C.J. Hadley, publisher, RANGE magazine

One of America's best informed and most respected champions of free enterprise and principled government is Tom DeWeese.Ron Arnold, author and executive vice president, Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise

Tom DeWeese is a vital force in the battle for American liberty because he tells it like it is, holding back nothing as he cuts through the politically-correct smokescreen to get out the truth.Jerome Corsi, Author

From afar, I have long admired your courage and your immense talent for writing. You personally represent that which I admire above all else: the brave American patriot upon whom free people everywhere depend to save America from the Socialism that now threatens it and thereby the Free World.Judi McLeod, Editor, CanadaFreePress.com

Our country should always feel a great debt to people like Tom DeWeese and others, who literally make it their business to monitor what Washington is doing, where big government is taking us, and alerting us that "we the people" can still be in charge, if we're informed and active. Keep it up, Tom!Pat Boone

I've read hundreds of political books over the years – and rank yours as one of the most eye-opening of all – but more than that, I think it is perhaps the most nuts and bolts (how to) solution-oriented book of this class I've ever read, placing it on a pedestal in the midst of a very small class of valuable books.Steve Farrell, Founder, Self-Educated American
