After receiving a $500 donation from a friend of our 9-11 truth group, I thought this is our opportunity. Together with two friends I had gained through the Columbus911Truth.org group, we went to work. We found a printer, used an open-source (free) program, gathered our articles and finally thought we had a product we could promote. Our first issue came out this past Veteran's Day, and the power of our new tool was immediate and obvious. After passing out DVD's and fliers for a year, I knew what rejection felt like. People no longer recoiled in fear or disgust at my ovations to give them our paper. They said things like, “This is your paper? Wow!"  I heard many simple expressions of gratitude like, "Thank-you!”

 

It felt really good. 


We received another generous donation and this time we put it to use by purchasing 20 used newspaper boxes. We worked on them in my driveway and set them up along High Street in Columbus, Ohio. Before we knew it, it was time to work on our second issue and it was received as well as the first.


Though 9-11 truth is the most important issue to me personally, it took three months to find the perfect 9-11 truth article to print in our newspaper, The Liberty Voice. I printed that perfect article in our third edition which I found right here on OpedNews.com entitled, “God Bless the 9-11 Truthers and others like them” by Mark Sashine. The co-operation and generous support of Rob Kall, OpedNews.com authors and other writers across the country has made our effort quite productive.


As an activist I have never found a better way to reach my community. As a mother of two young children, who is concerned about the future of our country, I want to share this outreach tool with anyone interested in finding a better way to engage your community in our struggle for liberty. If you are an activist, I will do whatever I can to give you as many copies of The Liberty Voice as you need. Contact me at Sherry@TheLibertyVoice.com and let me share it with you.


To learn more about our newspaper, go to www.TheLibertyVoice.com. There, you can read all three of our issues, and if you like it, you can subscribe on-line. In trying to reach our goal of having subscribers in every state, if you are the first one in your state to subscribe, I will refund your money just for giving us the opportunity to bring you the news! That is, 45 people can get The Liberty Voice free --just for asking!
