Good plan.
a Constitutional colonoscopy
I like that.
Bigg Red: Thanks, and you’re right that we need to attract others to our side. Washington keeps growing relentlessly, at the expense of our labor and our freedom. I think a lot of people are sick and tired of big government and would be sympathetic to a movement to cut it down to size.
The timing is good for an event like this; the wind is at our backs. We’ve seen scandal after scandal and a string of abuses by an out-of-control administration over the past five years. Polls now clearly show that most people believe the country is going in the wrong direction. So we potentially have a lot of public sentiment leaning our way.
Whatever theme is ultimately chosen for this event it needs to convey action to achieve a certain outcome. Its not just going to be a feel good event.
No offense meant. But demands are what terrorists make.
You are committed to making these things happen.
Who are you demanding these things from?
Bookmarked...
Put me on whatever American Spring 2014 ping list that exists...
This could be just what is needed to take this country back and put Amerika 2.0 back on the path to becoming America again...
You’re right on the money with all of this and I have a feeling you were just getting started.
I would add:
The NEA and the schools have to quit trying to turn our kids into communistic America haters or there’s gonna be big trouble for them.
Kristinn is a long time, well respected member of Free Republic who's done more than pretty much damn' near anyone else on this forum to defend our freedoms and liberties -- including you, mr. keyboard cowboy who's biggest claim to fame on here happens to be Mr. Blogpimp Cop.
Shut yer pie hole right now before you embarass yourself further.
Not to be argumentative with you, just asking you to look at this from a different viewpoint: were our founding fathers "terrorists?"
What would you call their demands? What would you call the Declaration of Independence? At the time, some thought of it as a declaration of war.
I like Downsize DC... anyone have any good ideas for a logo and a bumper sticker that can go viral?
Nah.
I’m pretty much sure he ain’t anyone’s boss.
Which is what I said.
Sounds like something our fellow American's need to hear as they wake up from their slumber .....
STAY AWAY FROM HARRY RILEY!!!
Your comment exemplifies what I absolutely love about Texas. I’ve been to your state many times (Houston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Austin to name a few spots) and fell in love with your state and the people living there. Always felt welcome, bar none the best, nicest down-home salt of the earth folks. I hope to retire there in a few short years.
Just an idea...
People in the military (and even new citizens) take an oath similar to:
“I, _____, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; So help me God.”
Those of us patriots who have never served have never taken this oath, even though we may feel it deep in our hearts...
It could make a powerful statement at the American Spring 2014, national or local events if the attendees at some point all took this oath together in unison.
Because even though we aren’t all in the armed forces, we are all citizens and need to be on guard for the Constitution.
Maybe taking the oath would make that point clear to all Americans- we are the sentries not someone else.
None that I can describe or put a graphic up on a family friendly forum ... ;-)
I am just a marketing guy. I know how the general public reacts to words.
I am not arguing with your premise. Really. I am pointing out that the words would turn off many in your target audience.
I will give this some thought and pm you later.
I understand where you’re coming from. Look forward to hearing from you later.
Actually, you should warn him to stay away from ME!
I'm DANGEROUS. I puff up to 5 times my normal size, to reveal poisoned quills all over my body.
Heard the founder of this site on the radio a few days ago; don’t recall exactly where.
