So what now? (Vanity)

Posted on 4/16/2009, 1:37:29 PM by gun_supporter

Great job freepers on the tea parties all across the country. I just want to ask the question, what do we do now? Certainly this was not the end.

Personally I think it should be done every day until the government gets the idea we aren’t going to take it anymore.

But, I know there are time restraints in peoples lives and not everyone can make the time to do it, but if the idea is allowed to ‘fade away’ then it will have to be started all over again from the beginning. (well, almost)

In my small little community, 250 showed up which was amazing and we all committed to finding, supporting and helping candidates who will defend the Constitution. It was quite moving. We signed a list and I expect the organizer (who was a fabulous speaker) to follow up an get us going!

We get in the faces of our "representatives" and we stay there. We make them feel so freaking uncomfortable that they are afraid to come home. We remind them continuously that we are keeping track of their actions, their words, their associations, and their votes. We keep reminding them that next year is an election year.

We also write volumes to our local papers and national publications. We swamp their mailrooms and servers. We highlight the actions of these individuals continuously.

We put them on notice that everything they do is being scrutinized, and we play it back for them and the country to see, continuously.

We proudly wear our branding of the fascist government as opposers to its regime.

Letter writing campaigns to Representatives and Senators. Flood your local newspapers with Letters to the Editor and OpEd's. Actively participate in local government meetings, call for fiscal responsibility at the grass roots level.

I am sorely disappointed at my Senators and they will receive more letters from me.

I tried to pass out small pieces of paper with the Freep Internet address on to a few people last night at the Ft. Worth Tea Party and got a few takers, but I was surprised that many people hadn’t heard of it.

I think there’s a big pool of future Freepers out there that have never visited the site.

Here you go: http://pushbackuntil.com. It might take us five or ten years, but how much do we love our country? How much time, money, and effort do we want to put into saving it? Are you - yes, you - willing to make the sacrifices? I, for one, am. We went to the TEA party in Olympia, WA yesterday. There were several thousand people there, speakers, and so forth. Great signs. But no real solutions to the situation. I listen to a lot of talk radio. A lot of complaints, but no real solutions. The solutions and how we get them are very clearly expressed at http://pushbackuntil.com. It will take guts, courage, and tenacity. This is the only solution - to take the battle to the belly of the beast - Washington, D.C. Let your Senators and Representative know about it. Email the link to family and friends. Because we literally need multiple visits to Washington D.C. over the next year. And if that does not work, we will increase their frequency. We have no choice. If we, the people, do not take this action, an irresponsible Congress will continue to destroy our country. They have been doing just that for the last 60 years.

These tea parties should be held when working people (you know, the ones paying taxes) can make it. If anyone noticed the crowds for the post 5:00pm meetings were exponentially larger than the ones held at noon. Saturdays are preferable.

We do something for Pro-Military Memorial Day and then a big Support the Constitution party on the 4th of July.

We need to keep reminding Washington and state officials that we are here, we are watching and we angry.

By being "out there and vocal" we wake up a lot of sheeple who are still asleep.

We educate the uneducated.

We march and protest until we take back our country.

We need to organize T.E.A. parties:

1. Every time Congress passes a pork laden spending bill

2. Every time 0bama proposes more spending without proposing balancing cuts elsewhere.

3. Every time a Congressman returns home who has voted for a pork laden bill to speak about how he is bringing home the pork and we need to ask very politely why he is wasting our tax dollars.

Our goal should be to keep these thieves and fatherless spawn in the spotlight from now until the next time they stand for re-election so people will know who they are and what they do to us not for us. This is at least a 5 year and 7 month effort people.

Now you get everyone to vote NO on every local tax issue on the ballots!

Send the bastards a message they can't ignore. No more taxes for anything, just cut the budget!

School millage? Tough $hit! Cut the budget!

Police/Fire millage? Tough $hit! Cut the budget!
