This is exactly the bold, forceful but not abrasive kind of action that I hoped to see.
I’m in.
I thought it was going to be 12 September. 22 August might be too soon to get what we need accomplished done by then. We want to have a big turn out like Tax Day. 4 July was a failure and we don’t need two failures in a row. 12 September is perfect because people have been notified of this date for months. I appreciate your efforts but we need planning and 25 days is not enough IMHO. However, if you go for it, good luck.
“We know exactly what they’re trying to do, but liberal Democrats and their followers continue to push the legislation through.”
This is more than just “liberal Democrats” at stake. But those so-called Republican weak necks too.
And this is more than just health care. It’s about “We the People” being sold a bill of goods. Being forced into a fascist regime. Idiots in Congress who pass major economic destruction packages—such as the so called Emergency Stimulus Bill— (of which only 10% has even been spent—thank goodness—some emergency,eh? Haven’t even spent it) and a Crap and Trade Bill (which will send our economy to the dark ages—not to mention Congress never even took the time to read it.
This is more about a bunch of self serving traitors intentionally and willfully destroying the Republic and subsequent removal of their employment. And hopefully future trial.
PING!
“the next major national tea party”
Hopefully, it will be a great warmup to the March on Washington Sept. 12.
As important as the protests at individual congressional offices is getting the local press to cover it. Politicians only care about 2 things, money and votes. The national media (MSM) will trivilaize and denigrate you, but generally you’ll get a better shake from the local media and nothing scares a pol more than having negative video show up on the local 6pm news.
If you don’t have a good PR/Media system and training on the local level, these kind of events are a waste of time and money. They’ll make the participants feel good for a moment, believing they’ve “done something”, but that soon turns into depression when they realize their tree fell and it made no noise. It then makes it ten times as difficult to mount a future offensive when you really need it.
I don’t know what the Tea Party organizers are doing, but training their local activist leaders in the ways of PR/Media is the best return on the investment of time and energy.
YES!Count me in.
Stop wasting your time with these protests and use your time, energy and money to elect people to public office who will do the right thing. Get the candidates now and start campaigning now.
Aug 22 is a Saturday. Doubt my congressman’s office will be open. Will that get much coverage?
Mr. Robinson,if you can,please post this site http://recessrally.com somewhere on the main page,if only as a great resource for contact and background voting information.Try going to your state`s site and enter your rep or senator,it gives a lots of useful information.
