JPFO ALERT: BULLETS TO SAVE BALLOTS
ANNOUNCING JPFO'S FIRST NATIONWIDE ESSAY CONTEST
On the night of August 1-2, 1946, some American ex-Gis used
armed force as a last resort to overthrow their corrupt county
tyrants. These ordinary Americans simply wanted honest
government. They had tried the ballot box, but the elections
were rigged.They had pleaded for honest leadership from the
soap box. They had begged state and federal officials to come
to their aid with the jury box, but their pleas were ignored.
When every one of those famous "boxes of freedom" failed them,
they turned to the last box available -- the cartridge box.
In one long night of battle, they took their county government
back. This battle reaffirmed what the Founding Fathers repeatedly
told us -- that when you can't get redress of grievances
by working "within the system," freedom must be preserved through
armed force.
Unfortunately the "GI Party" formed by these Americans faded away
after winning a few elections. Today, the party and the battle
are long forgotten by most Americans.
You may have heard this story from us before. It took place in
Athens, Tennessee. You can read about this true American moment
on our Web site at http://www.jpfo.org/athens.htm
NOW YOU CAN ALSO PARTICIPATE
IN THAT BATTLE FOR FREEDOM
In honor of the upcoming 58th anniversary of the Battle of
Athens, Tennessee, JPFO is holding a nationwide essay contest.
This contest, which is open to anyone of any age, asks the
question:
"HOW WOULD TODAY'S AMERICA BE DIFFERENT IF
POLITICIANS FEARED CITIZENS, RATHER THAN CITIZENS
FEARING THEIR GOVERMENT?"
We're asking you, or your sons, daughters, or students to
envision an America in which people are willing to lay
themselves on the line for liberty.Write about life in that
alternate America where -- like the members of the Athens GI
Party -- people refuse to stand for corrupt, out-of-control
government.
Complete rules are on JPFO's Web site at
http://www.jpfo.org/battleofathensessaycontest.htm
But here are the basics:
* Topic: How would today's America be different if politicians
feared citizens, rather than citizens fearing their government?
* Length: Between 1,000 and 2,000 words
* Deadline: June 17, 2004*
* Essays will be judged for content and style by a panel
including JPFO staffers and guest judges
* Prizes will be announced on July 31, 2004 in time for the
anniversary of the Battle of Athens

* June 17 is the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill (1775).
British forces technically won that battle by eventually taking
the hill. But they won at devastating cost. It's a reminder of
what determined freedom lovers can accomplish against the
world's greatest superpower.
According to The Patriot Resource, at the Battle of Bunker Hill:
"3,000 Americans had participated with only 120 killed and 500
casualties. But out of 2,500 British troops, 230 were killed
and there were over 1,000 casualties. The British had won the
battle by taking the hill, but it had been a costly victory. The
Americans had proved their mettle by standing up to two assaults
by British regulars. [British] Lt. General Thomas Gage submitted
his resignation. He was recalled by Parliament on September 26,
1775. On October 10, 1775, he surrendered his command to Maj.
General William Howe."
