Sorry, got impatient.
Editor, the Daily News:
I have recently become aware of a memo released by the Missouri Information Analysis Center and released to law enforcement agencies statewide that suggests that people with bumper stickers on their cars be, basically, 'profiled' as members of secret militias. Among these bumper stickers are those for presidential candidates in the last election, and among those is former Republican candidate and respected Republican sitting congressman Ron Paul.
So, in order to be safe from 'profiling' and being accused of being a member of some shadowy and illicit 'militia', I have to remove my sticker for my preferred Republican from my bumper? Folks, I like Branson and I love the Ozarks, but I'm not going to peel stickers from my bumper just to come see and spend money with you. Sorry.
Someone needs to have a word with Jefferson City...
I'm sorry. I should have mentioned rpf. I basically reiterated what I've said in this thread. Tried to tie in the point about Ron Paul being a respected Republican Congressman and also mentioned the C4L conference (with a healthy dose of irate toddler in the background :] ). I'd like to hear it again but I don't know how to extract a portion of audio from a podcast.
Secret State Police Report: Ron Paul, Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, Libertarians are Terrorists

I live in St. Louis and will be following this closely. I too thought this was a hoax at first. But that has been resolved. If you feel the need to share valuable information with me drop me a line in my PM.
Great article!! Expands upon things quite well. Also does not have the 'taste' that AJ leaves for some on digg:

can someone link the entire PDF that was leaked please.
To think C4L is spending quite a bit of money for the event in St. Louis. Members will spend even more on food, and hotels. The state is going to have a nice chunk of tax monies from this event.
Now MO back stabs us this way. If C4L does not speak out about this I will be extremely disappointed again.
Press Release
For Immediate Release
Liberty Restoration Project responds to Document released by Mo. Division of Drug and Crime Control/ Missouri Information Analysis Center
Kansas City, MO. March 12th 2009:
The Liberty Restoration Project (LRP) obtained a notice today that was released by the Missouri Division of Drug and Crime Control, P.O. Box 568 in Jefferson City today. This document is written in a form the declares that “Militia Members most commonly associate with 3rd Party political groups” indicating Congressman Ron Paul, former Congressman Bob Barr, and Pastor Chuck Baldwin to be springboards of Anti-government militia groups in Missouri. The Liberty Restoration Project views this document as defamation to a growing “Freedom Movement” that is focused on peace, freedom, civil liberty, and constitutional obedience. The Liberty Restoration Project in Kansas City is a focus group based off of many of the principles laid forth by 3rd Party leaders, including an audit and/or repeal of the Federal Reserve Banks of the United States, and many other topics that are addressed by these leaders.
The document in question is still pending a confirmation of validity, yet when representatives of the LRP have called the attached phone numbers, they have been met with confirming messages stating that they are aware of the document, and that they would have someone return a phone call. One of the reasons the LRP believes that this document is so destructive is because of Congressman Ron Paul’s Regional “Campaign For Liberty” conference in St. Louis starting on the 27th of March, 2009 which will bring in hundreds of Ron Paul supporters and “Freedom Movement” groups. The LRP believes that this is a blatant attempt to stifle liberty and a message that teaches American people what it means to be an American with a voice, and a message of peace and civil liberty. The Liberty Restoration Project is currently awaiting a response from the Division of Drug and Crime Control. The only names listed on this document come in the form of email, and the names listed are: Brandon Middleton, and Greg Hug.
The Liberty Restoration Project also wants to express their views about “Militia’s”, citing the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution; “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Although no members of the LRP are members of a militia, they feel that a Militia is Constutionally founded and have advocated in the past for Missouri representatives to adhere to their oath of office to uphold the Constitution and abide by the 2nd Amendment. Yet the document in question annotates a Militia as something to be feared, warned against, and fought. The LRP wishes for a retraction of this document, and a public apology made, and if this is not met, the LRP has promised heavy activism against their Division and will pursue further actions to correct what they feel is a devastating misrepresentation of what the “Freedom Movement” is about.

If I were going I'd cancel my hotel in favor of one in Illinois. Now, the Illinois side of the river is not considered the best part of town, and Illinois most certainly does not have lower gas taxes than Missouri. Nonetheless, that is where I would stay and where I would buy all the food and gas I used.
How many times have I heard you guys screaming for lawsuits...and how many have actually...ahh nevermind... :)
This is a fake document. Look at it. Seriously. Half of it is copied from Wikipedia! Google the text! Aren't you guys smarter than this? No organization would EVER allow a document with this many obvious typos, pictures off center, etc out even internally! I work for a very small company, but EVERYTHING is triple-checked for spelling, grammar, etc. This is someone really playing a joke on you guys!
Also, in this press release...do you (the person who sent it) work for Campaign for Liberty? Are you authorized to speak on their behalf? If not, I wouldn't put their name or website on your press release. Once the hoax is revealed you are going to make the Campaign for Liberty look really stupid. Be professional and don't jump the gun. Things like this (your over reacting, jumping to conclusions, etc.) is reason no one takes you or Ron Paul seriously.
"The document in question is still pending a confirmation of validity, yet when representatives of the LRP have called the attached phone numbers, they have been met with confirming messages stating that they are aware of the document, and that they would have someone return a phone call. " (from your press release).
OK-- so the police are aware of it. They never confirmed it was a document created by them. This is you guys jumping to conclusions! Be professional and get all of the facts first before you react on a public stage (again -- a reason why no takes you people seriously!)...They are probably not returning your calls because they are investigating the source. They are also probably busy, did you ever think of that? Maybe they have real crimes to deal with, and returning phone calls to a bunch of Ron Paul nuts within 30 minutes is not high on their list. Also, its obviously a fake document, and any police officer or PI could take a once over of it and see that.
I went ahead and put all the images into a PDF to make spreading the memo easier. Have at it.

Everyone who keeps saying this document is fake or real please elaborate on WHY.
Such as txrep says half of it is copied from wikipedia.... well what half are you talking about? What grammer and spelling and etc. ? Show the support to your claims.
If you don't support your claims, then they are just frivolous. The same goes to people who called, one person said someone read part of the article back to them. What part of the article? What time did you call and who did you talk to?
Now hold on, I am a member of this state and I called the office and they said they knew of the document and directed me to other
JUST GOT A PHOEN CALL BACK

I called shortly before I posted. I posted the name of the gentleman at the time. As I said, he quoted back to me the section that mentioned the presidential candidates by name. I even listed the phone number I dialed.
P.S. And Ms. Bleish just mentioned his name again. Does anyone actually read threads?
Thank you jeezus, some clarification.
Thank you once again CatherineBleish and UtahApocalypse.
There are 24 pages... it would be nice if a new post was made summing up what is happening. Reading through 24 pages of blabering is wasteful and annoying. Off to work, CYA!
