You guys don't get it. It's going to take much more than a couple hundred Patriots out in the cold at a few different cities to make a change with a SOCIALIST government in control of (2) of our branches of Fedgov.
They don't care..."they won". It is long past some corner demonstrations, which I also have been part of.
We NOW have to think outside the box. We have to pull ALL the conservative organizations together to build a massive coalition that is based in Constitutional principles and explicitly promote WHY those principles are the best for our nation and any society to the American populace. I'm talking advertising where ever we can afford it. We need to get the word out. We have failed so far.
We also need to contribute to Constitutional law firms who will find the "standing" and file suit against every anti-Constitutional legislation all the way up to the USSC.
Both of the above will take huge amounts of money.
Here's your choice: Either continue to send your contributions to the Republican Party and watch them piss away your money, OR, think about sending your dollars to support lawsuits that MAY or may not be successful, as well as, massive advertising!!!
I can guarantee if you continue to send your money to the RNC, it will be wasted. With socialism increasing by the day, how has your dollars worked so far?
Think a new strategy.
I totally agree that advertising is sorely needed and is effective. However, huge street demonstrations all over this nation would speak loudly as well. I remember reading Francis Shaeffer’s writings years ago in which he recommended street demonstrations as a way to safeguard our Judeo-Christian values which were just beginning to be bombarded by big media and big government. I believe we face a constitutional crisis in this nation which is bigger than any economic crisis and I do not believe for one second that all those Democrats in Congress agree with this madness. Those who do not need to stand against it for the sake of the very survival of this great nation.
I agree with that.
Great, more small gatherings that are not reported by the MSM and had zero impact, other than to make us feel good.
I disagree with this. Tea parties in and of themselves are not the answer. But they are part of it. We need action like you mentioned, but we also need people in the streets to show numbers. The MSM can't ignore it forever, and there are plenty of alternative outlets to get the message out.
This is not either/or.
I feel your pain that these little rallies are not enough, but you need to remember that their are first resorts and last resorts and you must go down the line, exhausting them all, until the last one is the only one. These rallies are the beginning, not a definition of the entirety of this movement. Everything must happen in order much like our founding fathers had done with the British. So yes, these rallies are of extreme importance, because I know I don’t want the last resort to come anytime soon. If you need to know what the last resort is that I am talking about, read some Thomas Jefferson quotes.
Thanks,

BUT
I was impressed with the last one. It's the largest gathering I've seen at Independence Hall, or center city for that matter, though not as large as the one in Valley Forge on behalf of the troops. And the organizers are putting together a local mailing list of people upon which to build. This is going on across the country. That's a good thing.
Someone posted a thread on FR about having a large protest in DC in the next few months. I'll find it and post a link.
