Jan.18 News Letter

Jan 18, 2025 Patrick Holland

Happy Saturday gang. We’ll be live tonight at 7:30 PM on the usual platforms: Twitter (X), Rumble, Odysee and You Tube.

We’ll do a situation report on Senator Mike Moon’s SB25 and Representative Bill Hardwick’s HB433 after our first visit to the capital this past Wednesday (1-15-25). A special thank you to everyone who came in to help with Knock and Shock. It was a smaller group this time but the group was very active and effective.

We also got a read on the other legislation we are supporting. We’ll talk more about this tonight.

Co-sponsorships for the Constitutional Money Act are growing. This is definitely a positive move but we can ALWAYS have more. The more co-sponsors a bill has, the higher priority it becomes. Let’s keep those phone calls and emails rolling in – in support of these bills and asking for co-sponsorships. HB433 has 9 co-sponsors to date, SB25 has 2 (so far).

As a quick reminder, we will not be streaming next weekend, I will be out of town. Another reminder that we no longer meet in Guilded for the live stream, we meet in Signal (at least for now).

For lack of time today, I am going to end it here. I hope to see you tonight on the live stream.

May God bless us all with good health and with wisdom and courage.

Yours for liberty,

Jan, 11th News Letter

Jan 11, 2025 Patrick Holland

Happy Saturday gang! We’ll be live tonight on the usual platforms. You can watch on Twitter (X), Rumble, Odysee or You Tube. We’ll be on signal again tonight for the group. The link is down below if you’d like to be a part of the live stream.

Our first Knock and Shock of 2025 is next Wednesday (1-15-25). We will meet at Senator Mike Moon’s office at 9:00AM. (So far, the weather looks favorable for travel to the capital). Mike Moon’s office is #220 (second floor of the capital). For those who have never joined us at the capital before, we refer to this as “home base.” Home base is an office that we can hang up our jackets, leave our lunch boxes and even leave a concealed weapon for safe keeping (several parts of the capital do not allow weapons).

Most commonly asked questions for visiting the capital for Knock and Shock:

  1. Can I bring my conceal carry weapon? Answer: If you have a CCW permit, your weapon is allowed in the capital. If you are a Constitutional conceal carry holder (no permit), the answer is no. Weapons are not permitted in viewing galleries and various other places, so we can always leave our weapons at home base (Senator Moon’s office) if we need to venture into these areas.
  2. What if I cannot get there by 9:00AM (start time)? Answer: This happens a lot and is not a problem. If you cannot be there when we start, just go to home base when you arrive and either Luke (Moon’s Legislative Assistant) or Jeff (Moon’s Chief of Staff) will call one of the group leaders so someone from the group can go to the office and bring you to the group. Knock and Shock usually runs from 9:00AM to 5:00PM but if you can only join for an hour, we’d love to have you join us.
  3. Can I bring my own lunch? Answer: Absolutely. Although there is a nice restaurant in the capital and many restaurants around the capital, some folks prefer to bring their own lunch. We usually break for lunch around noon. We usually meet at the capital restaurant for this even if you bring your own lunch. Purchasing an average lunch at the capital is generally around $10 to $12.00 BTW. Also, there are plenty of vending machines around the capital and free coffee (if you know where to find it – which I do J ).
  4. Where do I park? There are MANY places to park around the capital. There is a parking garage and metered parking right next to the capital but there are many free parking options very close to the capital as well. Click on the map below for more details.
  5. “I have never done this before, I am nervous and I do not want to speak to legislators.” We see this with a lot of new folks. This describes me back in 2002 when I ventured to the capital for the first time (pro-life rally). There is no requirement to speak to legislators, however; it is a VERY good idea to talk to YOUR Senator and Representative when you are there, even if it’s just to let them know you live in their district. We encourage this. Building relationships with your legislators is very important. Make sure your legislators know your name AND what YOUR legislative priorities are. This should be EVERYONE’S goal when visiting the capital. It helps when you are in a larger group if you are uncomfortable speaking. Remember, ALL of us have as much ownership of government as our representation does.
  6. Do I need to bring anything with me? Answer, generally, no. Just bring yourself and a few family members and/or friends if you can, the larger the group – the better. I design and print out all the handouts we give to legislators in advance of the trip. We generally always have extra flyers if you would like to take one home. However, I encourage folks to create their own handouts too if they want to. Printing in color is a good idea. Very few grassroots use color, and color flyers get attention.
  7. Can I be a group leader? Answer: Absolutely. Sometimes we have over 30 people show for Knock and Shock and when that happens, it’s generally better to divide into smaller groups. This serves many purposes. It’s very, very difficult to squeeze 30 folks into a Senator’s office but it’s virtually impossible in most Representative’s offices. Groups of 10-15 is usually how we do this. Also, with more than 1 group, we can cover the 200 legislators’ offices much more quickly. Group leaders are chosen in the morning before we start and if necessary again after lunch. We encourage anyone who wants to lead a group to do so.
  8. This is not really a question but a best practice point. It is bad form to be rude or to argue with a legislator. I am not saying you cannot disagree with them but in the past we’ve had folks in our group that have deliberately verbally attacked legislators with an axe to grind. This NEVER helps our cause, in fact, it hurts our cause. It’s virtually impossible to have a positive influence on a legislator if you have been rude to them and it reflects badly on the group. Another way to look at this is; can someone who is rude to you change your mind to give them something they want and need your help to get it? The answer is almost certainly no. Legislators are human, they can make mistakes just like the rest of us and respond virtually the same way everyone else does to personal attacks. Positive actions and conversations are statistically more likely to garner positive results. Constructive criticism of legislation is definitely encouraged! If you have an idea on how to improve a piece of legislation, do not keep it to yourself, let the bill sponsor know your thoughts! They are often very grateful for the input and more often than not, amend their own bill with better ideas they get from constituents. This practice is one of the more memorable positive experiences you can have with a legislator. If a legislator lets us down or breaks a promise, they are ALWAYS approached about that incident but usually via phone or email or sometimes in a scheduled meeting.

Knock and Shock Mission: Get co-sponsors for the bills we support (especially the Constitutional Money Act), bring information (flyers) to legislators, answer questions about the bills we are supporting for legislators, introduce ourselves to new legislators and build on existing relationships with legislators and finally, make sure everyone who can make it from the Initiative is known to their representation. This will help you with all future contacts you have with your Senator and Representative.

For those of you who have not heard, Justin Sparks lost his bid to be House Speaker. Jonathan Patterson received almost all the votes in the House, including the Democrat vote. He is officially the Speaker for the next two years. We accept this and we move on. It doesn’t change what we would do in the capital.

Supported bills: Last Saturday we submitted, discussed and decided on the bills we will be supporting for 2025. They are as follows in order of vote totals…

  1. HB433 Sponsor Bill Hardwick – The Constitutional Money Act (and by extension Mike Moon’s SB25).
  2. SB75 – Sponsor Brad Hudson – Removes the sunset clause from the S.A.F.E. Act.
  3. HB658 – Sponsor Jeff Vernetti – Prohibits the use of automated traffic enforcement systems and the use of automated license plate readers.
  4. HB561 – Sponsor Mitch Boggs – Modifies provisions relating to the placement of any surveillance or game camera on private property
  5. SJR7 – Sponsor Rick Brattin – Replaces the property tax on real property with a sales tax

Tonight on the live stream, Isaac joins us again after delving into filed legislation and just like last year, more bills have introduced that benefit very few people and contain World Economic Forum agendas. These are bills that MUST die. Details tonight on the live stream. I’ve noticed that when Isaac is on, we get more views. The information he provides is invaluable and he is often invited to speak with legislators in meetings at the capital with his findings.

Lastly, it’s been a while since I linked up Gretchen Garrity’s blog. Gretchen and her husband John are fighting the good fight to get the smut intended for children out of easy reach for children in the Christian County libraries. Gretchen does more than this obviously but things are heating up in the library controversy. Gretchen covers all this and more in her blog and she is a regular contributor in our live streams and regularly ventures up to the capital. You can visit Gretchen’s blog here.

Don’t forget Sam Britton and his Sunday show “Off the Cuff” on Missouri Liberty Radio Sundays at 6:00PM to 9:00PM.

John Williams with Missouri Liberty Report had his live stream last night. You can view the program here on Rumble or here on You Tube.

That’s all for now gang, I hope to see you tonight on the stream. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have for Knock and Shock at Patrick@mofree.org

May God bless us all with good health and with wisdom and courage.

Yours for liberty,

Tuesday Jan. 7 Special Report

Jan 8, 2025 Patrick Holland

Hey gang! Nothing like a mid-week update. Several things are going on so I thought I would send out a reminder email.

Tomorrow (January 8) is the swearing into office of folks that were elected in November. This all takes place at the Missouri Capital in Jefferson City. Traditionally, grassroots folks tend to show up to enjoy the festivities and introduce themselves to newly elected legislators. It is also a good opportunity to get co-sponsors on bills. For the Constitutional Money Act, there are 2 bills that we’d love to see co-sponsors on. Firstly, Senator Mike Moon’s SB25 and secondly, Representative Bill Hardwick’s HB433. It is unclear if I can make it up there tomorrow (based on work schedule) so if anyone is going up, remember to ask for co-sponsorships for these bills that represent the best of the bills for the Constitutional Money Act.

The Missouri Freedom Initiative’s first Knock and Shock campaign will be on January 15 (Next Wednesday). I am currently working on the full color flyers we will be distributing. It will be done before our live stream on Saturday, the 11th so everyone can see it before the event. I will have these flyers printed for the event. The mission on the 15th is to introduce ourselves to newly elected legislators, promote the Constitutional Money Act (as well as the other bills selected by the group this past Saturday) AND get co-sponsors for both bills (SB25 and HB433). I intend to make a two flyers, one for the House and one for the Senate.

I will attempt to get a meeting with the newly elected House Speaker (if possible) scheduled in advance to talk about the Constitutional Money Act and the benefits for Missourians that this bill provides.

In regards to the House speaker, tomorrow is the day when the Speaker of the House is officially elected by their peers. Jonathan Patterson and Justin Sparks are the two contenders. There has been a LOT of controversy over this as Patterson, who runs as a Republican is often taking a more liberal stance on red meat conservative issues – But there REAL issue here is the House Rules. The House Rules are voted on every two years when a new Speaker is elected. In the past 20 years, the House Rules have become seriously centralized to take power away from elected Representatives and place that power with the office of the House Speaker. This is part and parcel of why Missouri, with its Republican super majority never seems to get much done on issues conservatives have in their platform. Justin Sparks promises to change that if elected speaker. His promise is to de-centralize and give power back to the elected Representatives. I am not sure that Jonathan Patterson would be interested in doing this, at least not to the extent as promised by Sparks. There is a LOT more to this story that involves the power elite in Missouri and out of state interests (please tune in on the live stream on the 11th for more details). The power elite and out of state interests would like to see Patterson installed as House Speaker. A petition from REPACCMO can be signed by anyone wishing to see Sparks as Speaker. You can find the petition here. Please read the petition, even if you don’t want to sign it. This is part of the painful process Missouri must go through eventually to give the power back to the people through their elected Representatives. For reasons of full disclosure, I did sign the petition on behalf of myself only. If you want to support Justin Spark’s bid for the Speakership, you have only tonight and tomorrow morning to do so.

To contact your rep, here is the House Roster to find their phone number/email address.

Every New Year brings hope that things will change in Jefferson City and that the government will be more responsive to the people of Missouri. With this in mind, we need to remember that everyone who serves is human and every human makes mistakes. Determining the motivations for actions is important in the political realm but often difficult to discern. We are all products of the choices we make in our lives. That is EXACTLY why everyone is unique and different from one another. As much as it is important to point out mistakes by a politician, it is also important to recognize when they do the right thing, which is something that is easy to forget.

I will try to make it to the Capital tomorrow but won’t know if I can actually go until very late tonight.

I want to let folks know that we are still having problems e-mailing everyone currently on the Yahoo and Aol domains. As a reminder, every email I send out is put on the blog section of our website. So if you have missed any e-mails, you can always read the latest on our website. These problems happen when folks join the email list and then report the emails I send out as spam. Many organizations have moved to text messaging because of this malicious practice used by folks who disagree with constitutional/conservative messages and/or information via e-mail and yet, sign up to receive the e-mails.

That’s all for now gang. May God Bless our mission to instill more freedom and liberty in the State of Missouri.

May God bless us all with good health and with wisdom and courage.

Jan.4 News Letter

Jan 4, 2025 Patrick Holland

Happy Saturday gang! We’ll be live tonight at 7:30PM Central (1-4-25). We’ll be on the usual platforms tonight. Twitter (X), Rumble, Odysee and You Tube.

Tonight is the night we decide on what legislation to support in 2025. Bring your favorite 3 bills to the table for consideration and for a vote tonight. You can join us in signal to present your bills or put them in the comments section of any platform . We’ll be paring down a bit compared to previous years, we will only be taking in 3 bills this year. In past years we have supported 5, which is administratively a heavy load and I will not have as much time this year as I have had in past years (due to continuing trips to Minnesota). So let’s bring in the best of the best bills for consideration. The rules are still the same with just one caveat. If you have not joined us for any knock and shock missions to the capital or participated in phone call and email campaigns, please do not submit bills for consideration. This will cut down on the time necessary to go through and vote on the bills and prevent folks who are not willing to help do the work from steering the organization for their own interests.

As is our custom, we will be bringing forth legislation live tonight to vote for the legislation our organization will support for the 2025 legislative season. The rules are simple. The legislation MUST comply with Article 1 Section 2 of the Missouri Constitution. This clause simply states that any laws must apply to everyone equally. 90% of Missouri legislation misses that mark because most legislation benefits specific corporations, specific industries, specific groups of people or the government itself. Supporting legislation that is equally applied to all Missouri citizens is also a great way to remind legislators not to exceed their mandate and to keep their oaths of office and their commitment to the Missouri Constitution and their constituents. We will be choosing 3 bills to support in 2025. Other considerations include bills that must help protect Missouri and the sovereignty of the residents from threats such as the Missouri government itself, or from the federal government and even foreign governments and threats (such as the UN). Working with these parameters, we can help prevent Missouri from turning into Illinois or California. Please do not bring more than 3 bills for consideration. Our votes will be live and uncensored.

While some folks consider this “democratic” approach somewhat chaotic and messy, that’s because it has been in the past. Any time you get a group of folks together with differing interests and with voting power for what bills will be supported by the group and have the logo on any printed paperwork that is distributed in the capital, you have to be cautious. Although legislation wildly differs, the intent to keep or enhance our freedoms and to strengthen Missouri’s sovereignty should be the ONLY goal of this organization’s effort in the capital. Sometimes, these worlds collide with differing perspectives. Here’s an example…

Americans For Prosperity have announced their goal in Missouri in 2025 is to work on eliminating state income tax. Since only about 35% of Missourians pay income tax, it will only benefit 35% of the people? Right? Well, it actually benefits businesses too, there are less payroll taxes to calculate, and businesses will benefit from people having extra money and spending it with them. Seem reasonable? Let’s look at sales tax for food as another choice for a tax cut.

In Missouri, we have sales tax on food. Most states do not have this tax. However, 100% of Missourians eat food (although I do not know this for a fact, I feel statistically I cannot go wrong with my estimation ;). So if sales tax on food was eliminated, 100% of Missourians would benefit. Businesses that sell groceries would benefit by lightening the paperwork load on collecting the tax on groceries and sending it to the state. People will have more money to spend on groceries or anything else for that matter if grocery tax was eliminated. Most folks consider sales tax on groceries immoral (majority of states do not have this tax). As inflation keeps the prices of groceries going up, it keeps the tax going up as well because sales tax on food is a percentage tax. The steak that used to cost you $10 is now costing $18. You’ve nearly doubled the price of the steak and the sales tax simultaneously.

So, under Article 1 Section 2 of the Missouri Constitution, elimination of the sales tax on groceries complies much more closely to the letter and spirit of the Missouri Constitution. For that matter, eliminating Missouri gasoline tax is second best (after elimination of grocery sales tax) and eliminating property tax also is in MUCH closer alignment with the Missouri Constitution than eliminating Missouri income tax.

For 2 years, the Missouri Freedom Initiative fought hard to rid our state of grocery sales tax. We know the arguments against it, we know Representative Plocher (House Speaker) simply would not let it on the House floor for debate and perfection. He was honest and upfront with one of our members saying “This bill will not make it to the floor.” However, I think it’s important to point out, this is how Plocher operated. He was outside his mandate, he wasn’t for the people, he wasn’t for sovereignty or freedom. Plocher had an agenda and Missouri’s legislature was the main tool for him to work on his agenda. No one quite knows what to expect from Patterson or if Patterson will care about thousands of calls going into his office from the people of Missouri. Plocher simply did not care.

This was just an example of how one tax cut complies much more closely with the Missouri Constitution than another tax cut.

That’s it for now gang. I hope to see you tonight on the stream. Please do not forget Knock and Shock on January 15.

May God bless us all with good health and with wisdom and courage.

Dec.21 News Letter

Dec 23, 2024 Patrick Holland

Happy Saturday! We’ll be live tonight at the normal time (7:30 PM Central). Despite the hiccup last week (You-Tube shut down our stream because I was playing “Silver and Gold” by Burl Ives during the intro). Folks, please take note of stuff like this because You Tube has been messing with our channels dating back to “Truth Money and Freedom” in 2017. If we have a scheduled stream but for some reason, the stream is not working on You Tube, head over to Rumble or Twitter (X).

Last week, we started meeting for the stream in Signal as opposed to Guilded. I hate moving things around as much as anyone else but it had to be done. There are limitations on Signal but for the most part, it seems to work OK and the broadcast software (Prism) seems to be OK with it. We’ll be live on Twitter (X), Rumble, Odysee and hopefully You Tube.

Our first scheduled Knock and Shock campaign will be on January 15, 2025. We generally meet in the capital at 9:00AM although it’s an all-day event and people come and go as their schedule allows. We’re generally wrapping up around 5:00PM. Although we have not as yet selected bills to support as an organization, the mission is to support the bills we have selected by passing out flyers, and talking to Senators and Representatives about these bills AND get co-sponsors for the bills we support. This is actually very important. By actually showing up, speaking to our elected officials, we actually start the process of helping setup priorities for the legislature. Phone calls and e-mails help but nothing replaces the personal touch of a visit to the capital. If your Representative and/or your Senator do not know your name, this is actually your fault, not theirs. Make sure you get to know your representation and they get to know you. Knock and Shock is the ideal way to meet them to show your level of involvement in the legislative process if you haven’t already and speak with them, especially if you are travelling the halls supporting legislation in a group of 30+ people. This leave an impression, trust me. Developing relationships in Jefferson City is very important and cannot be understated.

Home base for the January 15 Knock and Shock will be Senator Mike Moon’s office. Mike Moon is the sponsor of SB25, the Constitutional Money Act. Senator Moon’s office is on the 2nd floor of the capital, Room 220. Home base is where we meet, where we organize, where we share intel we receive during the day and where we form strategies if needed. It’s also where we store lunch boxes and jackets for the day, where conceal carry permit holders can leave our personal carry weapons (some parts of the capital do not allow for conceal carry). *Note, Constitutional Carry is not allowed in the Capital. I have spoken with both Mike and his LA (Legislative Assistant) Luke, and Mike Moon would love to have as many co-sponsors as we can get for him on this legislation. Although Senate bills usually do not get this kind of love, I think this is the PERFECT bill to get 6+ Senate co-sponsors on and it’s worth the time and effort. This will be part of the mission on January 15 if SB25 is selected for support by the group. Let’s call our Senators in advance and ask them to co-sponsor Mike Moon’s SB25!

January 8th is also a big day at the capital. A rally has been scheduled and a lot of grassroots have signed on. On January 8th, all folks elected in November will be sworn in. This is not a good day for Knock and Shock but still is an opportunity to support the legislators. I’ll have more info for this during the live stream tonight.

Justin Sparks spoke in Nixa Missouri on the 19th of December. I was there for the event and will give everyone a sitrep (Situation Report) tonight.

On the last live stream (12-14-24) I said we would be streaming tonight (12-21-24) and on the 28th. I want everyone to know I am not certain we can stream on the 28th at this time. I will be travelling this coming up week (Minnesota again) and I can’t really guarantee anything under those circumstances. Best advice is to check for an e-mail on Saturday morning/afternoon. If I can’t go live, I usually can’t (or don’t) send an e-mail OR send an email that explains why we can’t go live (if I have access from where I am at). We’ll come up with a better system in time.

Our friend, John Williams continues to produce his live stream every Friday night. You can see his work on You Tube or on Rumble.

Sam Britton with Missouri Liberty Radio is live with his signature program “Off the Cuff” every Sunday from 6:00PM to 9:00PM Central.

Representative Bill Hardwick’s Constitutional Money Act (HB433) has caught the attention of our friends at the Tenth Amendment Center. Representative Michael Davis has also filed his version of the Constitutional Money Act (HB630)! You can read the blog entry here.

Representative Hardwick’s HB433 has 3 co-sponsors as of today (12-21-24). Let’s call/email our reps and ask them to co-sponsor HB433. Here is the updated Missouri House Roster. If you have a new Representative who was just elected, their phone number and email address will be posted soon.

This email is VERY late, and I’ve run out of time, so I’ll end it there. I hope to see you all tonight on the stream.

May God bless us all with good health and with wisdom and courage.

Dec.14 News Letter

Dec 14, 2024 Patrick Holland

Happy Saturday gang. We will be live tonight at the normal time (7:30 PM Central). However, tonight we are going to try the broadcast from Signal. I am still looking into Teleguard but Signal is already mostly setup and ready to go, so we’ll use it for now. For those of you who are unaware, Signal is an encrypted app for both smart phones and PCs. Here is a link to Signal’s website. Here is an invite to our shared MoFI group on signal. We will no longer broadcast from Guilded. This change is for folks who participate directly via voice or video on our streams. For those who simply watch the broadcast on our socials or just participate through social media text chat, nothing has changed. You’ll be able to catch our broadcast tonight on Twitter (X), Rumble, Odysee and You Tube.

Last week, I co-hosted with Sam Britton on the 20th anniversary of Missouri Liberty Radio on a special 6 hour show. That show is available in Sam’s archive. We also broadcasted on our socials with the exception of you tube. It’s kind of hard to celebrate free speech on a censored platform.

Tonight, we’re going to talk about the silver/gold legislation that has been filed in Missouri, Florida and Texas. With any luck, we’ll get Daniel Diaz to chime in on what is going on in Florida (I have a feeling he knows a LOT about what is going on legislatively down there). In Missouri, we have 3 known bills pre-filed. Senator Mike Moon’s SB25, Senator Rick Brattin’s SB194 and Representative Bill Hardwick’s HB433. As of the time I am writing this, HB433 already has 2 co-sponsors. My Rep (Bob Titus) co-sponsored within an hour of my phone call asking him to do so. It’s that time folks; it’s time to call/email our reps and ask them to co-sponsor HB433. In fact, let’s contact our Senators and ask them to co-sponsor Mike Moon’s SB25 as well. Co-sponsorship is different in the Senate, it’s rare but it DOES happen. Missouri House Roster. Missouri Senate Roster.

As you probably already know, Representative Justin Sparks is running for Speaker of the House. Justin is travelling the state and meeting with folks to explain why he is running, why he entered the race so late, what he wants to do as Speaker and how it will benefit the House and by extension the people if he is elected. Representative Jonathan Patterson is the presumed speaker as he was elected presumptive speaker some 18 months ago. This practice of electing the Speaker so far in advance serves only one purpose, so corporations know who do donate to 18 months in advance to serve their agendas. In reality, the House rules are the prize here. The current House rules sponsored by Patterson for Dean Plocher 2 years ago are terrible (HR11 in 2023). With Patterson as presumed Speaker and remembering his role in getting the new House rules passed in January of 2023 is what many people are thinking about. Also, Patterson does not align properly with the Republican Party (by vote history). Also, Patterson’s close relationship with the HRCC (House Republican Campaign Committee) has many folks on edge because we’ve seen how much damage the HRCC can do to true conservatives when they do not get in line with the corporatists/RINOs. Representative Sparks will be in my neck of the woods on Thursday, December 18 at Godfather’s Pizza in Nixa, Missouri. I will be there, I encourage others to come to this meet and greet if they can (Details below).

I have been asked by MANY people in the past month if I know where Patterson stands on the Constitutional Money Act. The truth is, I do not know, in fact I don’t think anyone knows at this time. I do know that Sparks is in favor of it though. The Senate looks VERY favorable for passage of the Constitutional Money Act in 2025 (again). The House leadership is again the wild card.

That’s all for now gang. I am going to get some testing done for our Signal group today before we go live. I will be watching for folks joining the group today so we can get you in before the broadcast.

May God bless us all with good health and with wisdom and courage.
