the California
LIBERTY MARCH
Taking steps to restore our rights and freedom!
Our rights and liberty are being legislated away.
We are being disarmed. We are being controlled.
I say, No more!
The time has come to stand up and march.
The primary purpose of the California Liberty March is to demand the following three things:
1. That the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms in California no longer be infringed upon,
2. That our State Legislators put policies into place to ensure transparency and accountability from our elected and appointed State Officials,
3. That no bill is proposed or signed into law that does not preserve, protect, and uphold the Constitution; and by extension, our individual civil rights.
ATTENTION: If you attended the "Shall Not Be Infringed" rally in Poway, CA on February 23, 2013 and took video footage of the speakers, please let me know. I want to compile video to put on our site.

Outraged Citizen Marching to Sacramento
About Bill of Rights Violations
MEDICALLY-CHALLENGED SAN DIEGAN LEADS CALIFORNIA LIBERTY MARCH FOR SACRAMENTO ON TAX DAY - APRIL 15TH, 2013
"I'm enraged and engaged," says Roger Cotton, 48, a San Diegan and fledgling activist. He believes that the entire Bill of Rights is being violated, and that the Constitution itself is being subverted, if not ignored altogether. "As citizens, we've let ourselves go. As a result, we are in the position where the public serves the public servant."
Cotton has decided to undertake a march of "epic proportions." Starting in San Diego CA on Monday, April 15, 2013, he will be leading the "California Liberty March" as a series of marches and rallies throughout California. This march is a call-to-action to defend the Constitution and to demand that politicians protect and preserve the civil rights of all Americans.
During his march, Cotton will be carrying the American Flag and wearing a satchel holding a petition for redress of grievances he has drafted. This petition is posted on his web site at: www.liberty-march.com, and will be available on a PDF download for supporters to print out, gather signatures and mail it to Sacramento if they are unable to make it to a march rally event.
Cotton invites anyone who supports his cause to walk with him anywhere along his march routes for as far as they can. As a diabetic, Cotton suffers from neuropathy in his hands and feet. "Imagine your feet feeling numb from being in ice water for too long. But, at the same time, you also feel the burning of damaged nerves.” Despite his physical condition, Roger is preparing for this endeavor by walking five to ten miles per day and exercising.
Ultimately, Cotton wants California to no longer infringe upon gun ownership by law-abiding citizens. "Politicians are attacking the Second Amendment like never before. I've never owned a gun, but I believe in a citizen's right to keep and bear arms. These rights are unalienable. Government does not have the constitutional power to take them away."
The Liberty March will culminate in a march into Sacramento on Wednesday May 29th, followed by a press conference on Friday, May 31st. At that time, Cotton will deliver the signed petitions to the Governor's Office, as well as to the California Secretary of State.

"The Age of Aquarius is over," says forty-nine year old San Diego resident and fledgling activist, Roger Cotton. "It's time for the Era of the Eagle to begin." According to Cotton, this would be an era of renewed patriotism and cultural reunification.
"America has such great potential. We have to reject those who have been dividing us according to our racial and economic backgrounds, as well as our politics. We are all Americans and it's time we stop with the childish bickering and get on with the business of reaching our national and personal potentials."
Cotton has been undertaking a six-week series of twenty-mile marches in towns and cities throughout California; from San Diego to Sacramento. As he marches, he wears shirts that say, "Protect the Constitution," and "Defend the Bill of Rights," and "Uphold Your Oaths of Office." He also carries a ten-foot flag pole that flies a three by five foot American flag.
Cotton has received supportive car honks, waves and cheers. He has also been spat at, insulted, ridiculed, and threatened. Twice, he was targeted with water balloons. Despite this, he cheerfully spreads his message of political empowerment to anyone who asks him why he's marching. "I just realized," he says, at the start of his final week of the march. "In all this time, I haven't seen anyone else walking with our flag. Get your march on, People!"
Cotton's final twenty-mile march will be on Saturday June 1st. He will be marching from Elk Grove, into Sacramento and around the city. The itinerary for his marches can be found on his web site: www.liberty-march.com. He has been funding his endeavor through donations from supporters.
On Monday June 3, 2013, Cotton will be marching from Meadowdale Park in Sacramento at 8 am. He will be marching just over two miles to the Sacramento State Capitol Mall, where he will hold a press conference. This event will begin at 10 am. ten-foot flag pole that flies a three by five foot American flag.
