Absolutely correct ... the time to PLAN is “now” ... for the next event (6-9 months away) ...

The opponents had the 28 votes to force a second vote at one point, so I can’t see how his reelection was a done deal. One of Boehner’s aides said a second vote would have been a disaster.

Yes, I do understand that...but it still needs leadership however that might be .

Convincing them of that is a problem.

RE :”
It will be a war, nothing less.I wonder if enough people have the stomach for it. That is the big question. You cant do it with money, we dont have enough of it” GOPe has plenty of money to spare from the CofC and the banks.
That's why I'm sending my resume to Mitch, but I am still with you in spirit :)

Yep. I think they think it's too difficult/impossible.
They don't see how little money it takes to organize and activate a small group.
And the idea is to start a "movement", which also does not take a lot of money.
And there are a lot of disgruntled people who have some money to donate/spend who might love to be a backer of a movement.
They'd be like little nano-soros people, who could help in a big way with know-how and resources as well.
The idea is the movement has to look like a few percent or more of the population is ageeing with and joining the movement, even though the core group is tiny. Like in the 60's, when so many young people seemed to be hippies and on drugs - they had no clue about the startup/organization of the hippie movement, but it seemed cool so they adopted the lifestyle.
That's what all the "movements" of the left are, empty shells, fronts.
You need some some smart strategists to pick a limited scope of the movement, then some PR people who know how to pull stunts, put pressure, create a stir, inspire the masses, draw the masses, make simple, sensible arguments for "change", etc. They've got to have a real bottom-line simple moral urgency. Think of the "movements" of the 60s.
Now if there a certain few of these different movements all working within their scope - but actually all coordinated at the top - they'd turn the world upside down, just like the 60's movements did. They were professionally designed by the elites, often using the CIA, which just got the ball rolling and the movements then took on a life of their own. Of course, the elites' media covered them according to the design, so the "revolution" of the 60's seem "real" to the public, like it was spontaneous.
"Organizing for good" instead of "organizing for elites".

"Tolerance" can you "ping" this post to your list ?
==============================================
They don't see how little money it takes to organize and activate a small group. And the idea is to start a "movement", which also does not take a lot of money. And there are a lot of disgruntled people who have some money to donate/spend who might love to be a backer of a movement. ==============================================
The 2015-01-03 rallies cost a total of "zero" dollars to set-up and organize and promote (with the exception of internet provider service and the monthly electric bill)
In less than FOUR weeks ... over 150 Facebook Conservative groups were invited, 2,000+ e-mails were sent out around America ... the organizer (a Facebook "newbie") attracted over 3,250 "new" Facebook "Friends" in less than three (3) weeks.
==============================================
Not being "snarky" here, just illustrative ... however, "naysayers" are invited to leave the DAMNED discussion at this point ...
Just go somewhere else if all you want to do is "bitch" ...
==============================================
Just imagine what could have accomplished if a "team" of fifteen (15) individuals worked together for eight (8) weeks (instead of the five weeks before the 2015-01-03 rallies) ?
That is "clearly" the approach for the next "event".
And ... if Free Republic were the "key" organizer ...
what if each of the ten (10) Free Republic coordinators were in touch with "five" Free Republic state chapters each ...
coordinating locations, logistics, etc ...
and items such as "follow-on" tasks (calling congress, etc) were clearly explained to everyone ...
with the necessary "information infrastructure internet links" set-up at Free Republic.
The necessary event "Operational Security" would be assisted if the ten (10) Free Republic coordinators had a special access code for the "Event Public Planning" links.
Free Republic "Coordinators Number Eleven and Twelve" would focus on "radio" contacts (Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Levin, savage, Josh Bernstein, etc) and "news" contacts (including Fox, Drudge, Blaze, RedState, WND, etc) ... respectively ...
Free Republic "Coordinator Numbers 13 and 14" would focus on inviting "high profile" guests to the "rally events" across the nation, including local conservative talk show hosts, congressmen, etc. ... east and west of the Mississippi ...
Free Republic "Coordinator 15" would liason with Freedom Works, Heritage Foundation, Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, Louis Gohmert etc.
Weekly status meetings could easily be done with "Go-To-Meeting"
Now ... how's that for a "back of the napkin engineering sketch" ?
All Free Republic needs to do this is 15-20 "trusted" and "vetted" persons ... and Jim Robinson's approval ...

Ill take this choice.Steve, you chose #2. So would I and probably every other swinging Tom, Dick, and Harry on FREEP. Buut, but, but, what about "the others?" You know, the 53% that elected that gay guy from Kenya, whatsisname, Barry Somebody, wasn't it?
That's the question the testicularly challenged dweebs who represent us in the House are asking themselves about 12 times an hour. All they want to do is win; to keep their seats; to keep the money, power, and privilege that Drunken John Boehner and the aforementioned poofta from Africa somehow control, in league with the bureaucracy that runs the country and wealthy donors.
Saving the Republic is going to be like some strange 12-step program. But the Republic hasn't hit bottom yet ... not quite yet, anyway. So as a nation, maybe we are not willing to commit to Constitutional Rehab, yet?

Besides the great story its shows the how male human life was considered so little value by the French government and military in WWI, cheap fodder.
That they would sacrifice so many of their citizens (draftees) lives for nothing, over and over again,
We can assume the same with the Germans.
