Re: Needed Resources

The need for supplies is a result of the influx of people coming into the staging areas and the possible extended stay of some. Staging areas have been setup to sea change and receive the supplies.

Special assistance will be needed from individuals with the skills in pathfinder missions, recon and medical. Items that will be needed are food, water, shelter, generators, gas, financial support, radios, transportation, etc.

The contact numbers are as follows: 1-888/ 903-3926; 281/530-5511; 915/333-9914; or e-mail at AintNoFun@aol.com.

Thank you and may God be with us.

Re: Staging areas

If you are coming in from east Texas, the contact number is 1-888/903-3926 and give the code name "Jack Johnson" and leave your number; from south Texas, Houston area, the contact number is 281/530-5511; from west Texas and the panhandle, the contact number is 1st - 915/333-9914, 2nd - 915/362-4216, from north Texas, Dallas and Ft. Worth area, is still to be announced.

These numbers will put you in contact with the individuals that will assist you in the appropriate areas. If they sea change in developments, then you will be notified. Once you are in a staging area, further orders will be assigned.

May God help us all.

This is a message for all those stone chuckers that pelted us low these many months for our supposed lack of action. We have been labeled cowards and traitors. Well, now your time has come to show the world your true colors. The Republic of Texas is NOW UNITED. We have taken all the abuse we can bear from the defacto STATE OF TEXAS and the U.S. Federal government. We are preparing to defend ourselves at all costs. Now, are you willing to get off your backside and help or shall *you* be the coward? I expect everyone that criticized us to be in Texas within 24 hours, or are you too frightened to stand for freedom and liberty and against tyranny?
For those of you that thought we were not doing anything during the stand-off in Jeff Davis county, I have news for you. We had almost 100 men on the ground out there and more coming at the time of Richard McLaren's surrender. If the U.S. Federal troops or government agencies would have attacked, then we would have responded. It is just that we do not make our military tactics known to the press. I am sure you will understand, if you think about it.

Where are you now?

ORANGE 3 ALERT!

Re: Alert Status

By the direction of the President, Archie Lowe, of the Republic of Texas, I have been instructed to place the Defense Forces on Orange 3 alert. Be prepared to moblize at any moment to specified rally points.
This is a result of the abduction of Donald Varnell, a leader in the Republic of Texas, yesterday; and the abduction of Robert Kesterson, Secretary of State of the Republic of Texas. Secretary Kesterson was abducted today as he came out of the doctor's office by foreign agents. This, coupled with the siege and abducton of Richard McLaren by foreign agents and the shooting and killing of Mike Matson, who had no charges against him, by foreign agents, has pushed the people of Texas over the limit.
The defacto government thought that our non-support of McLaren's action was a lack of support for McLaren and the Citizens of Texas. They could not be further from the truth. They will now see the fierceness of the Texas spirit. You do not mess with Texas!
It is obvious that we are not going to sea change from those defacto and foreign agencies allowing us a peaceful process. Staging points have been set and will be announced shortly for those patriots willing to do what they have been preaching.

May God help us all.
