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.

“I’m 100% sure I can pull off “snowflake” just enough to get my foot in the door.”
A righteous mission, but hazardous to life and limb.
“”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.”” SHE?
“”Greer compared the groups to tactical special operations forces. He said the A-Teams, presumably styled like the famed TV team,”” HE?
These people are so screwed up they don’t know if they are “a he” or “a she”. No wonder the country doesn’t know which end is up anymore.
I guess money can even topple a government if enough of it is shoveled out to the masses...and there appears to be no shortage of it here..
They can’t even come up with their own team names.
I suggest a pile of freepers sign up and use the income to work for trump.
Yes of course
Robert Mercer or 100 other people could easily fund a similar effort on our side.
From a recent post on the Friday Silliness Thread:
“using the tactics that we’ve used effectively to defend Internet freedom”
They mean “net neutrality” and it never won any majority in the U.S. Congress and had not popular mandate to get Congress to pass it as law. Obama had to get his FCC dictators to dictate “net neutrality” under Constitutionally suspect reasoning.
So much the outfits “popular movement” record.
The Left pretends that people are dumb, that even once they are educated with facts and not mere Leftist opinion that they will still be their sheeple. It hasn’t been working for them lately.
“”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”
Wow! quit your job and we MIGHT give your team of 2-3 people $15,000. whata buncha cheapskates! Typical case of “progressive” minimum wage for thee but not for we ...
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XeNw9YTBnQ “Sudbury to Mumbai: Connecting the Dots” Video Description - Quote: apeacet March 17, 2010
This video focuses on the October arrest of Tarek Mehanna, a Sudbury, Massachusetts resident whom the FBI charged with planning to machine gun shoppers in a New England mall. The video offers a glimpse into a loosely-coordinated web of radical Islamic individuals and organizations based in New England with ties to Islamic terrorist groups overseas. This web is responsible for the radicalization of the next generation of American Muslims.
The video demonstrates the disheartening phenomenon (given the historical moderation and success of Boston Muslims) of the current groundswell of support for Tarek within a segment of the Boston Muslim community and its virulent response to his arrest. The video shows how Islamic radicals have been using the Internet to organize thousands of supporters and raise money for Tarek a man who the FBI alleges had enjoyed gloating over propaganda videos of Al Qaeda terrorists disemboweling and burning the bodies of American GIs in Iraq. (Tarek and his friends mockingly called these mutilations Texas BBQs.)

So what’s their plan, to flood internet news comment sections with pro-leftist and anti-Trump propaganda....very similar to what they accuse the Russians of doing?
