$15,000 a Month Offered to 'A Teams' To Fight Trump Agenda

A group known for its successes fighting digital wars, notably net neutrality, is offering $15,000 to activists who quit their jobs and form "A-Teams" to jump into a war on President Trump's agenda.

Fight for the Future, started in 2011 as a digital activist group, on Monday issued the offer with this eye-catching opening: "Terrified about Trump? Quit your job, start an A-Team. We'll fund it."

"We're currently taking applications for an initial launch of the project, and will be providing a few select teams with funding, guidance, and support," said Evan Greer, campaign director for Fight for the Future.

"Our goal is to spawn a movement of small, dedicated, groups of people using the tactics that we've used effectively to defend Internet freedom to win major victories in other issue areas affecting our basic rights and freedoms, such as immigration, freedom of press, police brutality, drug reform, and government corruption," she added.

It is just the latest effort by activists to fund the anti-Trump movement.

Greer compared the groups to tactical special operations forces. He said the A-Teams, presumably styled like the famed TV team, are "an attempt to help incubate other 'special ops activist teams to tackle major issues, against the backdrop of unprecedented threats in the Trump era."

The online application and sales job includes a photo from the classic anti-Barry Goldwater ad from 1964 in which the world is nuked if he's elected.

It urges potential activists to quit their jobs and get working against Trump. A few of the initial A-Teams will receive a $15,000 check for their first month.

"We're still working out the details, but if you've got a strong 2-3 person A-Team and a target we'd give you $15,000 right now for the first month, just to see what you can do," said the promo. "If you make a big splash or measurable impact on your target in that time, we're pretty sure we can find you more," it added.

“Rules For Radicals” didn’t include what to do in case of fire (Trump).

[drewh]

this could be the greatest freep ever. just make the ‘story’ believable enough to get paid and then pull the rug right out from under their loony butts after it is published...

[GraceG]

Freep the crap out of it and re-funnel funds to Jim...

Drain the swamp by draining their resources.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

LOL...given the quality of character they are going to attract with their easy 15 grand offer, they are about to get ripped off coast to coast.

[drewh]

a liberal fool and their money are soon parted from each other...

[buffaloguy]

I can certainly understand why Melania and Barron aare staying in New York City.

Democrats are going to overplay their hands and really get hammered.

[areukiddingme1]

So I hope that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Undersecretary Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) Dave Glawe is adding groups like this to the “Leftwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment document,” you know, like the one that oblahblah had published against the right in April of 2009.

These groups clearly represent the fringe of our society and deserve to be looked into.

$15k will buy me a bunch of weed to End The Drug War

[hsmomx3]

I sure as heck could use this money! Instead of fighting everyone and everything, maybe they should help people who are truly in need. Nah, never happen with these goons.

I need 2 or 3 Freepers to make up my A Team. We'll split the cash and call it a day.

[conservative98]

$180k? Where do I sign up?

[GregNH]

I love it. They will end up with a bunch of pajama wearing basement dwellers that probably can't take the light of day and as soon as they start throwing mud it'll all come back on them.

[Magnum44]

I was going to say, the equivalent of $180K/yr salary to be a disruptor? I guess now we know where all that shovel ready stimulus money went.

[Slyfox]

Isn't that $15,000 for a 2 to 3 member team?

That would be $5,000 to $7,500 per person per month.

Might not be worth quitting yer day job over.

Specially, if ya had to work with a snot-nosed Hitlary-lover.

[rdl6989]

I pity the fools!

[Noumenon]

Infiltrate. Annihilate.

[Dogbert41]

The show Homeland was projecting this very thing in this week’s episode. What i mean by that is that they were making it the conservative right wing Limbaugh type doing this on an epic scale.

[Larry Lucido]

For that kind of money I bet I could come up with another “tax return.”

These used to be called communist front organizations, and their leaders and membership were harassed and worse by the FBI. Time to get back to basics. There is NO possible way Trump can succeed in MAGA if these groups are allowed to operate unmolested.

President Trump needs to focus on Obama's Organizing for America and the other socialist/communist front groups that are well funded from various sources and Soros. A lot of these groups get 'grants' for made up projects from the Federal government - your taxpayer dollars. Just another form of income redistribution.

I remember a few years ago, the left had a One Nation conference and I found a list of the participants. I only saved two of the list. Didn't know there were so many lefty groups. A few as follows:

As you can see, this list is by no means all inclusive. The list on the right is just down to C.

The country really is brainwashed and divided. We have a lot of work to do.

Education of Truth is the Key!

[Terry Mross]

I’d love for some Trump supporters to answer the ads and get inside then expose the rats.
