Indivisible Guide - Resisting Pres. Trump
Indivisible Guide ^ | December 2016 | Various

Posted on 02/11/2017 2:40:03 PM PST by Dragonfly

When we put the Indivisible Guide online as a poorly formatted, typo-filled Google Doc, we never imagined how far and fast it would spread. Since December, the guide has been downloaded over a million times. More than 4,500 local groups have signed up to resist the Trump agenda in nearly every congressional district in the country. What’s more, you all are putting the guide into action—showing up en masse to congressional district offices and events, and flooding the congressional phone lines. You’re resisting—and it’s working.

We are absolutely floored. It may have started as a tweeted Google Doc, but now (and sorry if this sounds corny) we feel an extraordinary sense of responsibility to help this movement as best we can. To do this, the Indivisible Guide team is starting a (nonprofit) organization, and we want to tell you why.

Bottom line, we want to do two big things better:

Demystify congressional advocacy. We get hundreds of questions every day about what Congress is doing, how to organize locally (see the toolkit!), and how to advocate in different situations. We’re going to start sending out timely updates and resources on what’s going on in Congress and how you can best organize, make your voice heard, and influence your members of Congress.

Support the community of local groups putting the Indivisible Guide into action. We want to provide shared tools to help groups organize events, communicate with each other, and share best practices and resources. This also means spotlighting local successes and supporting a sense of a shared purpose. You can see that shared purpose already forming—just look at this beautiful movement on Rachel Maddow.

Someone recently sent me a link to this site. I don't know if Freepers are aware of it, but I think we should be.

Elections have consequences and the left lost.

Keep it up lefties and 2018 will be a total rout for you.

It’s a blog and you posted it as news.
Clearly you support such garbage as you have
just knowingly advertised it.

Perhaps you might just go die in a ditch.

"But, if you're opposed to something, isn't that the definition of being divisive?"

It may be a good idea to be aware of this guide, but the bottom line (or should I say ‘at the end of the day’!) is that these are just a bunch of SoreLosermen.

Trump is going to steamroll these kinds of opposition so fast and easily he won’t even notice it.

The real opposition resides as much in the Republican party as it does in the entrenched bureaucracy.

Exactly. But don’t expect logic from those people.

Send it to Sessions and let him raid/arrest all of these people.

Too bad that sedition isn't taken seriously anymore.

I hope you’re right. Some of my friends are still whining about the election and how they want to leave. Just like the person who sent me this link. All they do is watch the MSM and then get upset.

“They will be mine, says the Lord Almighty, in the day when I make up my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him.

...And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.” Malachi 3:17 - 18 (NIV)

Yikes! That's a bit harsh, even by my standards.

Thanks for posting this.

Knowing some of the sources and tactics for this sedition that is occurring is important to know.

I predict they will become ever more shrill and violent in order to keep the MSM’s interest over time.

If you look at the Find a Group link, in my area there are about 30 different groups. 4 or 5 groups in Easton PA, which is a town of about 30,000. 6 or 7 in Stroudsburg, PA. Now, who knows how active these groups will be, and who knows how long they will keep up there interest, but it's something to watch.

They are telling them to go to Town Halls, go to events where their reps and senators are cutting ribbons and kissing babies etc., meet with legislators in their offices, and a fourth action that I forget. So it is a lot of effort. Some of the "progressives" will do it, but most won't. I doubt their youth supporters are going to do all this legislative outreach.

Indivisible Guide

From the marxist rabble trying to effect precisely that.
