MIAC Mobilize: Phone Template

(Remember to be nice and respectful please)

Hello, my name is _________________. Is Governor Nixon in? No? Well Iwould like to leave a message if I may. I am (am not) a constituent of theGovernor and I am calling in regards to the Memo released by the MIACentitled The Modern Militia Movement. I am a supporter of Ron Paul/ Chuck

Baldwin/ Bob Barr/ 3rd Party candidates and according to this document; itimplies that I could be profiled by the police as a domestic threat. In thisreport, it implies that a non-violent person like me could be viewed as anextremist and presumed to think of Police as Enemies. I am asking thatthe Governor retract this document that encroaches my 1st Amendmentright, as well as issue a formal apology to the freedom movement.

As a consequence to this report, I am now apprehensive to drive/ live/ orvisit your state, and as you know, that would have terrible economicblowback. So would you please pass this on to the Governor. (NOW BEREADY FOR QUESTIONS, and remember to be respectful and well thoughtout).

Thank you for your time!

MIAC Mobilize: Letter Template

Dear Governor Nixon,

I am constituent of yours, and recently a document with your nameon it has been brought to my attention. It is a document release bythe Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) and it is titled TheModern Militia Movement. I am sure you are aware of the document,but I must admit, I am terribly concerned by the implications of thisdocument.

This report describes many of the philosophies that I believe in, andI take great insult to being referred to as a potential domestic threat,or a radical extremist for having views that differ from the two party

design. I am concerned about driving my vehicle around if it has3rd Party candidates supported, or if I have a Gadsden Flaghanging from my house (which were required to fly on EVERY navalvessel in 2002). The next time I am pulled over, I am not going toknow if its for having a tail-light out, or for having a Ron Paul stickeron my car.
