MIAC Mobilize: Phone Template
• (Remember to be nice and respectful please)
• Hello, my name is _________________. Is Governor Nixon in? No? Well I

would like to leave a message if I may. I am (am not) a constituent of the
Governor and I am calling in regards to the Memo released by the MIAC
entitled The Modern Militia Movement. I am a supporter of Ron Paul/ Chuck
Baldwin/ Bob Barr/ 3rd Party candidates and according to this document; it
implies that I could be profiled by the police as a domestic threat. In this
report, it implies that a non-violent person like me could be viewed as an
“extremist” and presumed to think of Police as “Enemies”. I am asking that
the Governor retract this document that encroaches my 1st Amendment
right, as well as issue a formal apology to the freedom movement.
• As a consequence to this report, I am now apprehensive to drive/ live/ or

visit your state, and as you know, that would have terrible economic
blowback. So would you please pass this on to the Governor. (NOW BE
READY FOR QUESTIONS, and remember to be respectful and well thought
out).
• Thank you for your time!

MIAC Mobilize: Letter Template
• Dear Governor Nixon,
• I am constituent of yours, and recently a document with your name

on it has been brought to my attention. It is a document release by
the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) and it is titled The
Modern Militia Movement. I am sure you are aware of the document,
but I must admit, I am terribly concerned by the implications of this
document.
• This report describes many of the philosophies that I believe in, and
I take great insult to being referred to as a potential domestic threat,
or a “radical extremist” for having views that differ from the two party
design. I am concerned about driving my vehicle around if it has
“3rd Party” candidates supported, or if I have a “Gadsden Flag”
hanging from my house (which were required to fly on EVERY naval
vessel in 2002). The next time I am pulled over, I am not going to
know if it’s for having a tail-light out, or for having a Ron Paul sticker
on my car.
