From: Bernard Grover secstatertx@hushmail.com Date: Tue Aug 8, 2000 4:19pm Subject: Calling All Patriots http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/front/628282 Ladies and Gentlemen: Please read the above-linked story about a man whom some may know in east Texas. This story is what I consider a prelude to attack. Notice how the tone of it vilifies Mr. Gray and his family, and even goes so far as to call their family land a "compound". Furthermore, he is associated with the dreaded Texas Constitutional Militia and even went as far as to go out to West Texas to defend Mr. McLaren. Whatever you think/thought of Mr. McLaren, he is one of ours. Mr. Gray has committed grave crimes, such as driving without a license (exercizing his right to travel without permission from the state), no insurance (taking personal responsibility for his actions), and having church issued tags on his private property -- I mean, his vehicle. This article is the shot over the bow. The media, in consort with "law enforcement", have begun the process of making this patriot out to be an evil and dangerous man, though no one in the area can think of anything bad that he has done to life and property. This is the first volley in what will surely be an armed raid on his "compound", or his private property, as we might call it. I am putting out the call. This man has stood with the righteous and deserves to have the righteous stand with him. If you know him and know how to contact him, please let him know that I stand ready to fight for him. Find out if he needs anything. And especially, keep an eye on this story. I am calling all patriots to stand ready to defend this man and his family and property. If you hear anything about this situation developing, please notify me. Anyone wishing to stand with me and with Mr. Gray, please contact me and coordinate our efforts. There will be NO MORE RUBY RIDGES OR WACOS! Any attack on this family is an attack on me personally, and on my God-given rights and on the sovereign Republic. I will no longer stand for it. If you won't either, then I will need your help. If you have an ounce of integrity and truly believe in this cause, then here is your chance to make good on it. I am calling on all true patriots to stand ready. This will be our stand for freedom if Mr. Gray is not allowed to live in peace. Write to me at this address and let me know how to contact you in an emergency. Anyone with a plan, get it to me. I will coordinate this effort and put myself on the line. Will you? God save the Republic of Texas! Regards, Bernard Grover secstatertx@hushmail.com Secretary of State Republic of Texas Provisional Government http://www.republic-of-texas.net/
