You want to do something but what? Here’s a fun cost-free way to help

Here’s what you can do to help us win; it’s easy effective, fun and costs almost nothing.

I have worked in war rooms in New York and New Jersey and witnessed the value of organized sign waving at busy intersections.

It is a big winner every time it is used.

Here’s how it works:

Get a few friends – the more the better – and take over the busiest intersections in the district.

Come with handwritten signs on oak tag or corrugated styrene sheets you can buy at a Dollar store.

Using red or black markers, spell out brief messages – around 7 words and write DO YOU AGREE? at the bottom.

KEEP IT SHORT AND HONORABLE – NOTHING INSULTING OR COARSE Sample signs: “Illegal aliens vote Democrat for the freebies” DO U AGREE?

“Democrats will flood America with illegal aliens AGAIN” DO U AGREE?

Write a different message on the reverse side.

Get your group to intersections every day. 8AM to 10AM and 4PM to dark on weekdays.

Weekends at 9AM to dark.

Four person crews.

Rotate messages.

One person counts the number of vehicles reached and notes the response to each issue.

If you are coordinating with a campaign report the responses and number of vehicles reached. Use seniors for mornings and high school kids, Moms and others for afternoons. This system is the most honest and accurate way to “poll” its instant responses provide vital information about what issues work or don’t work.

It also pressures the Democrats to do something which they can’t do – get their own people out – it rattles them.

I have seen this build excitement on our side and depress the Democrats.

I have seen this work very well. It costs nothing to do; and it uses every volunteer that can’t/won’t make calls or knock on doors.

It gives local tv, radio, and print outlets something to cover in a positive way.

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

Fight back:

Do what YOU can with what YOU have.

Even easier: It has been shown that when most Americans see the American flag, they tend to feel more patriotic and support conservative ideas for as long as two weeks. It also inclines many people to vote Republican.

Democrats do not get this effect.

“Illegal aliens vote Democrat for the freebies”
“Democrats will flood America with illegal aliens AGAIN” DO U AGREE?

I suggest better slogans. Many unmotivated voters who need motivation know the illegal aliens at their church and workplace and nextdoor. The illegal aliens they know don’t vote. In fact many more legal non-citizens vote than illegals. And probably more vote harvesters vote on behalf of non-citizanes than non-citizens vote.

The message has to be true and believeable.

“Welfare fraud robs money from both the poor and the taxpayer” is a truthful slogan.

There are already very effective grass roots groups reaching voters.......Early Vote Action and Turning Point. Patriot Grass Roots is another. Better to efficiently and effectively target citizens who can actually swing elections.

A human yard sign does nothing.......nothing. We did something similar years ago for a church chicken dinner. Somebody had this great idea to dress as a chicken and stand with signs at the church. We kept tabs on how many folks came because of the chicken........none.

Don’t mimic the no kings losers.

What’s described is as “grass roots” as you can get. It’s also more likely to touch the hearts and stir the resolve of receptive people.

Be sure to have security and someone to watch your back. The democrats are a murderous violent bunch and they want blood.

"...corrugated styrene sheets you can buy at a Dollar store."

Your headline said it was cost free.

But he bought the diapers. Ja?

The phrase "OUR kids" or "OUR Children" annoys me greatly when spoken by the political types. You did not put in the work, you do not get to claim agency.

Some people believe that no work has value unless there is a paycheck attached.

So you paint your own house, not work.

Hire someone to do it, work.

Take care of your children, not work.

Hire a babysitter, work.

Yeah, it makes no sense.

You can use one of the Amazon boxes that everyone seems to have in abundance.

That would suggest I would have to buy something from Amazon, again, costing me money.

No, you ask your neighbor for one.

You do talk to your neighbors don't you?

Sometimes but never talked about boxes.
