Day One: Patriotism was alive and well at Clay Clark's Time to Free America Tour during its San Marcos stop at Awaken Church, March 11 and 12. Over 1500 attendants, from all over, decked out in red, white and blue, heard from dozens of nationally known speakers.

Vendor booths were all about saving the environment, saving people, and saving America. Clay Clark, who runs the Thrivetime Business School back east, and has a popular video broadcast, orchestrated the tour.

The litany of speakers included Eric Trump; General Michael Flynn; Patriot Streetfighter Scott McKay, who has a large following on video broadcasts; Roger Stone, who spent time in prison for not speaking up against Trump, his former boss; Amanda Grace, a prophetess with a video show; firefighters from several departments who have been fighting vax mandates in their departments; Sheriff Mack, who teaches constitutional law and policing to police officers and peace officers across the nation; Sean Feucht, a Christian musician and worship leader, who has been traveling the nation and holding worship in cities throughout the states; and numerous others.

An atmosphere of hope and camaraderie enveloped the gathering, and David and Stacie Whited, who have the video broadcast "Flyover Conservatives," spoke. "This is the best time to be alive. We were all born for a time such as this. Wake up, speak up and show up! We need 80 billion people doing one thing every day to save our country," Stacie said.

Human Rights Attorney Lee Dundas took the stage, "The fight for freedom isn't free. You need to ask yourself; how much are you going to fight? What's it worth to you?" She went on to say that "we won't win on good will alone..." Dundas helped the Freedom Convoy truckers, as well as people across the border and in other countries.

General Michal Flynn came on stage saying, "Lee Dundas is a Joan of Arc and a warrior. I'm here to tell you, we aren't going to give up on California!"

"We need local action with a national impact! Get up and speak up! Pay attention to primaries throughout August this year. This is how we participate..."

He said Biden has weakened the nation and all of us, and is strangling the fossil fuel industry, resulting in rising inflation, "He's weakened the fabric of our country."

"You don't end an energy source until you have another one in place."

"Biden is not getting any better," Flynn said. "We didn't have inflation, unemployment, high fuel costs, shipping problems, none of that during Trump's presidency, and now we have all of it!"

Flynn explained that we aren't dealing with normal times and that "Trump exposed all of it. We are definitely in a different place. These people are masters of distractions. Nothing going on is individual. We Americans don't want this nonsense!"

Flynn urged the churches to get involved or get steamrolled. "We need this awakening right now. In some cases, it's coming through churches, such as this one, that are brave enough to let us come in."

"I know exactly my purpose in all of this. Think of your purpose in life. This generation can turn our country over to communism, but we're not going to have it. Their plan is to destroy our country. Get off your rear ends and do something!" Thunderous applause erupted and participants were on their feet.

"Go dig! Go research! This is it, our moment in the sun."

"If you think you are retired, there's no more retirement folks. Do something to save our nation!"

Dr. Cordie Williams took the stage. He's the Carlsbad Chiropractor known as the Megaphone Marine running for Congress. "I'll do what a Marine does and fight for you!"

"This campaign is not about me, it's about California, and you, and all the mama bears out there, all the veterans, all the children and students, and all the hard working Californians."

He said, "2022 is about our kids and how they (the governments) have tried to take away our freedoms."

He cited that depression rates and suicides are higher in children than ever before.

He shared stories of a young student, Iris Allan, who was so depressed she took her own life. Six months later, Iris' mom took her life.

"We have a mission before us and a debt to pay for the 6-years-olds and under," Williams said.

"We need to level up and lean in. We have an obligation to cast a vote." He encouraged people to become pollsters at elections to keep an eye on the elections.

"A great awakening and great renewal is well on its way," proclaimed John Chambers of American Media & Periscope. "We are witnessing the dismantlement of the deep state and the cabal destructuring."

A concentric storm is yet to hit between now and Nov. 2, Chambers noted. "Be prepared spiritually, physically, mentally and financially. The paradigm is shifting. The movement has arrived. Main Street is in crisis."

Chambers said if we are wondering who is in control, "We are!" Chambers said Bill Barr's recent voice has been a distraction. "They don't want us to be, but we are fighting to save America."

He said 17 entities now have proof of election theft. "Trump won in a landslide and soon the world will know this."

"Eric Trump (at CPAC) said that help is on the way. Trump said he may be back before 2024."

Chambers said, "What we can do is: refuse to be fearful; don't comply with covid mandates; run for local offices." Because, Chambers said, "It's either us or them."

"It's an intelligence battle. Hold the line. Freedom is up to us and we must continue to push forward."

A sizable body builder took the stage next and it was none other than Ian Smith, from New Jersey. He made national headlines when early on in the covid closings, he fought it at his New Jersey Gym. Nine months prior to the mandates, he and a partner bought the gym. They started building "an awesome community." By day 3 of opening, they started filing lawsuits to keep the gym open. Authorities kept trying to shut them down. At one point they moved the gym outside. "At one point the health department closed the facility, but we ignored it and stayed open. It resulted in the sheriff's department changing the locks, he said. "We picked the locks and moved equipment outside every day!" A round of applause greeted him.

In July, they decided to open inside and have stayed open. "The only reason we could do it at all is because of the wave of support from people for the people and by the people!" Thunderous applause followed.

He reported that he has legal bills to pay, and welcomes any support anyone can send to http://www.givesendgo/agb.

He encouraged the audience to get involved. To get on township boards, city councils, school boards and more. He decided to run for Congress in the 3rd District of New Jersey, "Because we have a cultural problem we can solve: Get rid of career politicians! Regular people can step up and serve their communities!"

He's running on the policy of America First. "It's a lens we can all look through at all policies – and election integrity is at the top of the list!"

Seth Keshel, a popular podcaster and Telegram channel, had the audience laughing when he said he was going to talk about "electile dysfunction, when you lose passion for voting and for taking back our nation."

An independent poll by Rasmussen, Keshel said, showed 59% believed elections were rigged. "In Racine City, the sheriff found fraud in nursing homes. It may be the first to decertify the elections."

1. He urged that all voter rolls need to be cleaned out to remove a rotten foundation that would require re-registering.

2. He also called for banning all electronic election machines. Maricopa County, Arizona, he said, failed to surrender voting logs.

3. He believes requiring a voter ID, and paper ballots only, would help quell the fraud.

4. He wants all mail-in voting banned, with a few exceptions, such as military deployments.

5. He wants all early voting banned.

6. He hopes to see smaller voting precincts, which would require more involvement from poll workers.

7. He said to ban ballot harvesting.

8. He believes there should be an Election Day holiday, so everyone can make it to the polls.

9. He said new reporting requirements and transparency are paramount.

10. He concluded by saying there should be heavy prison times and accountability for fraudsters.

"Anyone can complain," Keshel said, "innovators find solutions and lead with a plan of action."

"They messed up when they attacked the Red Line," said Firefighter Wendy Williams, of Florida. "We fought the mandates and killed it with the help of Gov. De Santis!" Williams said seven different counties united with them to fight the vax mandates. "Never in my life did I think on U.S. soil I'd be fighting for my life," she exclaimed.

Firefighters in Beverly Hills bear a different story. Josh Sattley and Daniel Ferrari are both looking at permanent layoffs by the department because of their stand against taking the covid vaccines. Sattley has been laid off while Ferrari is suspended. Both were there speaking and working the Firefighters for Freedom booth. They plan to continue fighting the mandates.

They are joined by firefighters throughout the country who have organized for freedom of choice. New York City firefighter and USMC veteran Sophie Medina is the founder of Braves for Choice, which works to end the mandates. "We were the epicenter of the pandemic," Medina said. "It was a scary time. My husband is a firefighter. We are fighting medical tyranny at home with Braves for Choice."

Eric Early, candidate for Attorney General of California, said he has talked to patriots up and down the state. "We love this country. We are in a battle of good versus evil in California right now."

He implored that California needs to lock up criminals again, roll back laws and replace them with tough, non-politically correct laws. "Antifa is an American Terrorist organization," Early said, adding he's leading a lawsuit in Santa Barbara against Critical Race Theory. "It's the first lawsuit in the county against CRT. I'm being called racist. But people on the left are the most racist we've had in years! I'll fight for every law-abiding American regardless of their race!"

"We've got to get kids' brains back. We aren't making these things up. We are a shining light on a hill, and we cannot lose this generation!"

Roger Stone roared onto stage proclaiming, "2022 is the year of Jesus Christ and we are taking our country back!"

He said over the last few years, he "stood up for Trump and bore the wrath of Mueller and the FBI."

"I refused to bear false witness against Trump." He said. Through it all he's experienced the power of prayers and miracles in his life.

The President commuted his prison sentence. Then in 2020, the President awarded Stone a full unconditional pardon.

"Then on Jan. 6, I had an epiphany in the shower that morning not to leave the hotel. Later I read in the Washington Post that I was the mastermind of the day, I've already seen that movie," Stone said.

Then his wife of 30 years was diagnosed with stage four cancer. He credits Jesus and alternative healing for his wife being cancer free today.

Stone said the fifth miracle he will realize is when Trump comes back in 2024. He then explained how that could happen.

"Our problem today is that the Democratic Party is a party of foreign ideology. The Democratic Party of President Kennedy is over," Stone said. And he didn't spare the Republican Party either. "Gutless, feckless, weak-kneed establishment Republicans who don't have the balls to fight for this country!" With that statement the audience was on their feet with resounding applause.

March 11 was the last day to register for any race in the June primary. However, if you are interested in getting involved, you can sign up to be a poll worker. If you want to run for office, check vacancies on the sdvote.com.
