It has been a very busy and successful year for the South Jersey JBS Freedom Campaign. Our membership has grown in size and our activity level has never been higher. This meetup has held many presentations throughout South Jersey with a concentration on Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties. These presentations covered our Economic Meltdown, the Federal Reserve, Global Warming, and several other important issues, many individuals did not fully understand.

Because of the members of this Meetup, hundreds of people have walked away, newly awakened to the danger facing our country. They have left presentations with literature in hand and actions steps to take, telling others about what they learned.

We have held Freedom Information Booths at many of community fairs and handed out over 17,000 flyers, door-to-door to promote this information. We have brought expert speakers who understand exactly what we are facing in the United States, for they have been following this progression for decades.

EDUCATION IS THE KEY
Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, warned us with accuracy in 1958 and started the JBS to save our country. Congressman Larry McDonald explains to us that Education is the Key.

INVITATION
As a member of this Meetup, you are invited to join us on this day to review the accomplishments of our Meetup in 2009 and a glimpse of what we hope to accomplish in 2010.

I will leave you with an interesting note from a Lifetime Member of The John Birch Society:

For those of you who would like to know more about the founder of The John Birch
Society, let me give you a few facts as an outline of who he was.
Mr. Welch was born on a farm in North Carolina, Dec. 1, 1899, and was soon
discovered to be a child prodigy. At age 5 he read all 9 volumes of Ridpath's
"History of the World." In grade school, he studied Latin and algebra, entered
the University of North Carolina at age 12 and graduated at 16. He then entered
the Naval Academy. was 3rd in his class and tutored underclassmen while he was
a freshman. After this he entered Harvard Law school but quit because he could
not stand the Marxism of Prof. Felix Frankfurter.
While he then entered the candy business, eventually making millions with his
brother, he played chess with world masters, and wote a column on bridge for a
newspaper. Also, his interest in mathematics let him to do serious work an
Foyer's Formula. (sp.?)
While running for Lt. Governor for Mass., he realized people voted out of
unbelievable ignorance, having no idea what any candidate represented. Thus the
seeds of the Birch Society were planted. He traveled throughout the world
talking to leaders such as Adenhower and Sigmund Rea. (Again forgive my
spelling. It's really John Dewey's fault).
In December of 1958, he called 11 friends to a home in Indianapolis, spoke to
them for three days, and the Society was begun. This talk was later published
in the Blue Book of the John Birch Society.
Other books by Mr Welch include:
"May God Forgive Us" a history of the betrayal of China to the Communists.
While he was visiting Taiwan, he was surprised to learn it was translated into
Chinese and 500,000 copies had been distributed.
"The Politician" a history of Eisenhower's cooperation with the Communists.
Over 250,000 copies sold in America.
"The Road to Salesmanship"
" The Romance of Education"
He started a magazine, "One Man's Opinion" and as others began to write in it,
it became "American Opinion", and is now The New American.
I am privileged to say that I met Mr. Welch, a very gracious gentlemen, on
several occasions and to hear him speak at the Waldorf during the Council
Dinners every year until his passing at age 85.
