Guardians of the free Republics looked to Gandhi, King, and Mandela
The Guardians of the free Republic's stated desire was to peacefully and nonviolently 'restore' America to a pre-1933 form of government. But why would 50 governors step down at their request? In the wings, the group insinuated, waited the military.

In a recent plea, Sam Kennedy, a "guardian elder" of the Guardians of the free Republics, warned the modern-day "original government" revolutionaries to approach their March 31 "Restore America Plan" with Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, and Mohandas Gandhi in mind.
"We would simply like to urge patriots everywhere to champion their faith instead of force, and allow The Restore America Plan an uneventful 30 to 60 days for visible implementation which will ultimately end the bogus prosecutions and terrorist activities once and for all," wrote Kennedy recently.
The FBI failed to understand the Guardians' peaceful intentions.

Libertygal, it is important not to overstress what the facts that you have discovered actually demonstrate. Obviously, Clive has lent a major contribution toward building the website. But is he in charge as you suggest, or did he just build the site for the ones who are in charge?
Furthermore, the very notion that a man's past can never be forgiven is entirely contrary to the ideas which underlie the RAP. A great many people have found themselves both operating as agents within our corporate federal government and complying with the unconstitutional actions that our corporate federal government engages in. This is highly incriminating. The kind of unforgiving attitude that you seem to be adopting would not suffer these government officials to swear a new oath and remain in office. Yet the RAP intends to do just that.
Is it not enough for you that our friend Clive now endorses a return to constitutional government? If the world as a whole is to change, then that change can only ride on the shoulders of individual men and women who have, themselves, changed. Is it possible that Clive is a changed man? At what point will you be willing to cease your fears and support your fellow man -- imperfect though he may be? It is a culture of fear that causes us to shoot our friends because we mistook them for enemies. Are you shooting a friend, Libertygal?
