Here are some replies to your question Ken
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves. - Henry David Thoreau
'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded. Friedrich August von Hayek
Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.- Samuel Adams
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined. - Patrick Henry
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.- Barry Goldwater
The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding. - Louis D. Brandeis (obviously speaking about Obama)
If we really want liberty - if we really want liberty - then we need to go out and get it, we need to take it, because nobody is going to give it to us. And we need to do it now. - Michael Badnarik
First, we must support those who are supporting our freedoms.
Second, we must regain control of our constitutional rights and refuse to elect anyone who has ever shown not to support any portion of it.
Part of this is to support constitutional carry rights in every state.. Because, the second amendment is one sentence long ending in a clear statement that leaves no ambiguity; ...the rights of the citizen to keep and BEAR arms shall NOT be infringed. Chicago, after losing to the Supreme Court, still ignores the constitution by disallowing the portion that reads "Bear arms."
Third, seek out places that are currently in the fight. Look for those that have court battles in progress and if possible, attend those hearings to voice your opinion. City council meatings, county as well, are a great place to be allowed to come in force and have a say.
Fourth, read. History, Rules for Radicals, liberal guides; (they have been doing this for years. We need to learn from our enemy.) Make sure that each person within your sphere of influence know the words of our founding. Read the Constitution. I like to use the fourth of july. I wake up and feed the kids and as they eat, I read the Constitution aut loud and field questions.
Fifth, carry your constitution with you at all times. get it free from this link. But also, you can purchase further copies for what must be the cost of printing...They're very inexpensive.

And last, keep to your principles even if we initially lose a battle. The war is yet to come.
