NOTE: I wrote most of this two weeks ago. Some of it might sound dated, but I got too busy making videos to post it. I have updated relevant sections.
With the Congress now in summer recess, we have a chance take some action on the home front. Conservatives have done well, considering our legislative minorities, and the lion’s share of the messiah’s agenda has not been enacted. While we have been somewhat successful, the left isn’t going anywhere. They will be back, so, we will have to continue our struggle to maintain our freedoms.
The following are just one man’s ideas, and should not be interpreted as orders, as I have none to give, or minions to follow them. They aren’t talking points. Only the left is allowed to use those!
- With the Representatives and Senators at home, there is the opportunity to contact them directly. I plan on doing this myself. In my opinion, this is a way to “swamp” them with protests, exhortations, motivation-you name it. We need to let them know, regardless of party, what our concerns are. Adding that we are prepared to vote according to their response will send a message as well. I do not plan on being rude or disrespectful, as I believe that this will not accomplish our goals. Considering that the Unions are planning to spend $15-20,000,000 on promoting single payer, getting our voices heard might be a good idea.
- Arm yourself with facts! We have something that the left does not, truth! We can access the legislation and quote it. We have the statements of the POTUS, Barney Frank, and the others stating their support for single payer, as well as the fact that they plan on “public option” leading to single payer. Check and recheck facts. Try not to take information from just one source. The left will exploit any missteps, and they have been known to put out false information to get the right to embarrass themselves.
- If your Representatives or Senators have “Town Hall” meetings, you might want to consider attending them. I’ll be trying to do that myself, if it will be doable with my work schedule.
- Note that the left, including Organizing for America, are making plans to counter anti-single payer protests. Just be prepared for some competition. I can’t say what their plans are, but considering that they’re liberals; expect lies, stunts, and disruptions. They may try to goad people into violence, and then accuse the real protesters of starting it. Be aware. Also, look out for false flag ops, where one of their paid protesters poses as a Conservative or Libertarian, and says or does outrageous things. Single them out. If you can determine that they’re fake, shout that and point them out. Since, for them, “then end justifies the means,” expect anything. Rely on numbers, as there are more of us than there are of them. They can only pay so many people at a time, even with the DNC’s money. If we do cause them to spend more and more, that’s less they have for other activities. Take pictures of them. It’s a nice contrast to show the alleged “astro-turf” vs. the community organizers, with their identical signs, shirts, and talking points.
- Ironically, the “real” grassroots people are recruiting people to go canvassing. They are being PAID to do it. If we can find out where they are, and have others follow and present the truth. The moment will be priceless. If they show up at your house, bury them in actual information. Show them the bill, quote the president. Show them quotes from Ezekiel Emanuel. Ask them to explain where in the Constitution does the federal government have the authority to manage health care. Watch them melt when they can’t survive off their talking points. No matter what, take pictures, or film them. We can show the media what “astro-turf” really looks like!
- If you go to a protest, TAKE A CAMERA! This is VITAL! Since the union thugs have begun attacking people, it is very important to have evidence, not only to show the public, but to show the authorities. In the Florida attacks, two people holding cameras were also hit. They clearly don’t want people recording their activities. I think that if 20 people in the vicinity have cameras, they might think twice.
- Beware of the media. As soon as the White House began their smear campaign, the MSM started following suit. That’s obviously not a co-incidence. We are going to be accused of being paid by any number of companies, political parties, lobbyist groups, whomever. Just expect it. They can’t argue facts or the reality of things, so they’ll just attack credibility. If they do ask you questions, stay on topic. If they try to get you off topic, bring it back to the facts. Have quotes, pages or sections of the bills, names, and so on. Watch them become frustrated when they can’t pigeon hole you into being what they want you to be.
- This is going to sound strange, but I would support a “Blue Dog.” If they are voting against single payer and/or Cap and Trade, I’d thank them! I’d take a Blue Dog over a RINO any day. At least the Blue Dog is standing against the majority for something. I think that if a Blue Dog is willing to resist the messiah and his party goons to do what they believe, they are the respectable opposition that we could ally with on certain issues. Encourage, but do not threaten.
- If the Tea Party folks are willing, show up at the pre-fab, professionally paid MoveOn and ACORN demonstrations for socialism and let them know what you think. They don’t seem to be used to being confronted on equal terms. They’re used to using the Alinski method on just a few people. They haven’t demonstrated the ability to handle equal or superior numbers. Posting the videos of successful counter-protests to You Tube helps us and demoralizes them.
- Come to think of it, I would be tempted to help out someone who is being targeted with the Alinski method. Let’s say someone who spoke out is being targeted. Some “community organization” is showing up at the target’s work, at their kid’s school, at their home, and so on. What if Conservative, Libertarians, or any other groups that resist thuggery showed up to counter them? I would fact check it to make sure that the “target” isn’t some goon themselves, but I think the pictures of surprise on the faces of the “community organizer” goons would be priceless. While they stalk some victim at their home, and protesters show up at the “community organizations” HQ! Or better yet, show up at the home of the leader of the community organization to point out their fascism. I know it seems like taking on the characteristics of the “enemy,” but giving them a taste of their own medicine might be fun, and effective. Consider the community organizations as schoolyard bullies. They rely on threats to intimidate others. What if someone turns around and punches the bully in the nose (Figuratively, of course)?
- Take screen captures of websites, download Youtube videos, save information to your computer! The Dems may try to make damaging information “disappear” from the Internet. They can’t if we have it and re-post it. The easiest way to do this is by using Firefox. You can search for “ad-ons” that allow you to take screen captures, and download videos. I just found out that some of the videos about the CRA have already been removed. Take a look at my “The Libs Did it” static page at the top of the site. Two videos, both from CSPAN, were removed for “terms of use” violation. Both showed that the government was complicit in the financial meltdown. The CSPAN video was from the Clinton administration, and showed that the administration was ordering banks to make sub prime loans, and informed them, that there would be “increased risk.” It’s gone now, and I frankly forgot to download it. The second was a montage of congressmen defending the status quo. They were all ranking Democrats! Let this be a lesson to us all. DOWNLOAD ANY AND ALL EVIDENCE!!!
- Share whatever information you have with anyone you can. Family members, co-workers, friends, whomever. There are still tons of undecided people out there that don’t know the facts. Of course, the White House wants people to “report” such things, but they already know who I am, so I don’t particularly care.
- UPDATE: Remember that the left acts in an incremental fashion. The “public option” will not turn into single payer overnight. It might take a few years. This is part of the Cloward-Piven strategy. The reform will create standards that private insurance cannot cannot possibly meet. Prices will increase, employers and employees will no longer be able to afford insurance, driving them to the government plan. Refer to Jacob Hacker’ s comments in my last video. Also, the death decisions will also not happen immediately. The reform will put in place the infrastructure to do this, and there are people in the administration espousing these ideas, so it is a matter of time. This has to be realized when speaking out. The left will cling to the point that we are wrong. The media will echo them. However, stick to your guns. As Dr. Hacker said… “Don’t worry. We’ll get there, over time…”
Well, those are my thoughts. Feedback is welcome.

Truth is never dated, another fine piece Sir. I will be printing this out for my Meet-up meeting on Friday.
Thanks, but I have one update. Hold off on the printing!
Very informative. Unfortunately, my freshman Democrat Congressman is not holding any town halls, probably because he is scared. He only won the last election by a couple hundred votes and that was most likely because of a slightly higher turnout by Obama supporters. He knows he is in trouble and doesn’t want to take the heat
@Matt: Let me know when you have it.
Great advice. Not detracting from your efforts at all, but thinking out loud, a concise bulleted list of quote-unquote talking points would be a handy thing to have and pass around.
I especially like the part about bringing the camera. Thank God for the internet, I wonder if Al Gore envisioned it used this way??
@ Liberty Pen, it’s been here since late last night sir. Feel free, and thank you. If you can use the videos, or any other materials that will help, do so.
@ Don, I’m not in favor of talking points, in all honesty. That’s what the left does, because they are drones. We’re not. We can collect information that people can look at and make their own determinations, but leave the talking points to the useful idiots. Sorry if it sounds strong, but we aren’t the left. We go by ideas, not feelings!
What kind of information would you think is useful?
