That website says the event is in September.

That's too far off to concentrate on now.

At least for me.

...have a guilt-free conscience. They know they did the right thing.This isn't the place for pushing Romney propaganda.

Romney started a money making org that said it was to raise money to help republican candidates in the last election.

It's been shown that he stuck much of that money in his own coffers for his run for president in 2012.

His minion's attacks on Sarah Palin were discusting practices for a "conservative."

If you want to discuss Romney and his free "guilt", start a thread about it.

Let this thread serve it's purpose, please.

The Republicans need to stop all open primaries.

I agree completely. But there needs to be far more than that. The Republican Party needs to recommit to a genuine conservative message and repent of all the big spending and government growth of the Bush era.

Very true.

They need a complete makeover.

Just move forward to conservatism.

To let all voters vote in their primaries is just asking to be manipulated.

Historically, the federal government has been about 18 percent of the gross domestic product. By next year, it could grow to nearly 40 percent,

If anyone has any doubts, those 18 and 40% figures, are consumption, of gross domestic product not production. Government is the big consumer of our production. So, the economy does not grow, business does not grow, jobs are not created, other than to manage the government consumption, and the people work for the government not for themselves and family.

It really shook up both the Dems and Republicans, the political establishment.

and handed the Presidency to one WJC.

There folks are working on ideas.http://www.resistnet.com/
We need to have ALL groups organize. A million man march on DC is whats needed . I hope someone with REAL organizational skills can put something together . It HAS TO BE a nation wide protest , something that gets the worlds attention. Obama is hell bent on tearing this country to pieces and I feel time is running out for us .

Most conservatives are too busy working and zero plans to keep us worrying about food and shelter so we don’t have time.

You are right and it is built right into the stimulus and the tax code that relieves over 40% of Americans from the burden of taxes. If everyone was paying them, we wouldn’t be having this little problem. As you said, the 60 percent that do pay them will be too busy for protests because they will be anxiously engaged in supporting themselves their families and the forty percent that are not paying their share of the load.

Thats why the country has slipped away from us in the last 20 years because people like us are at work while the leftist take to the streets and the offices of lawmakers and get what they want. Look at the environmentalist, they are probably %2 of the population yet they control so much power .We need to ORGANIZE folks and take to the streets .

PING about the tea party and ping for heavenly assistance.

4TheFlag was a South Dakota Freeper who has passed on but the name is still on the active files as I believe all deceased freepers are. Just a little trivia reminder, and note that they are still with us in principle if not physically.

4TheFlag hosted the first meeting of freepers in the State of SD way back in 1999 if I remember correctly.

BKO and BCM were both casualties of 9-11. BKO in the Pentagon aircraft, and BCM in the second tower hit.

DeMint is the best we have in SC. I have not heard anything from Lindsey Graham on this. In the past, in SC, we have one senator voting one way and the other voting the other way and the vote is split.
DeMint is a genuine guy. I have listened to him for the past few years and he is not a media hog, he is looking to do what is right for this country. I can only hope that he and our Governor Sanford stick to their principles on this and do what is right, the majority of the state is with them.
In my own little world, I would like to see the state of SC relive it's history of being the first state to secede from the union!

This is a really good idea. How does one ping Rush? This idea needs to get immediate media play.

OUtstanding ideas......
I have always thought protests should involve statehouses, in every state where our cause has support, but it’s more symbolic than anything else......it’s interesting when you consider that nearly ALL state capitols are outside the most highly populated areas, though now that I think of it, the majority populations in those areas are probably not on our sides anyway. There is enough support in ALL states to allow large numbers to go to statehouses, whether or not the respective Governors are in the bag for Obama’s “plan”.There is nothing to prevent smaller , more localized groups to descend on their own City Halls to show their support for the overall struggle. We have NO chance of mounting this protest
in an “ideal” form soon enough to ensure that it’ll have maximum impact, but we DO have voices on FOX and a wide range of radio outlets who would be thrilled to become the regional CICs of this effort over the next several months.
We all know something is brewing.But the fix is already in, and we are already partially smothered in so many ways
by the juggernaut of this current Administration and its
Enforcer Media.

If "conservatives" are too busy to dedicate some of their time and effort to preserving their Freedom than they are not patriots and the liberals have already won. I hope the material things they gain from all of their "hard work" will make the chains rest easier on them and their families.

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world only to lose his freedom and dignity.

I concur. I love talk radio and where would we be without it? Yet there are built in problems that go along with it. Talk radio gives the illusion we are doing something, when in fact all we do is listen and vent and feel better, awaiting tomorrow's dose of our pre-thought thoughts. Secondly, talk radio is always after the fact. We are too used to playing in the back-field, responding to things that have already happened instead of looking forward and trying to change things to come.

“Well, lets all call and write to Talk Radio host and tell them we need their help. I feel we are in desperate times here and we all better pitch in and MOVE.”

Do you also think someone like Michelle Malkin might give it some blog legs? It would be great to get a blog movement going too. Today, we could start emailing whatever hosts come to mind. I wonder if Beck would be a good guy to start it. He has his show on Fox News now as well and might challenge others to jump on.

Keeping the message simple and getting the word out quickly are key. Also, making this about the Taxpayer and keeping it about the Taxpayer so that everyone owns the idea. That way it isn't dismissed any one personality's idea.

(It might even begin to wake up the non-educated Dems who are not aware of all the damage that has being done by this administration so quickly as well.)

" The Republicans need to stop all open primaries. "

What you said. That's what got us McCain, which in turn got us -1.
