GOTV: Um, we did that (November 8, 2016). When you’re done reading what I have to say, see tagline.
With that said, I have written several articles which of one reads between the lines, eludes to such strategies. In the past, I gave numerous talks on the subject. (See my profile links)
Due to the well-respected guidelines of this and other like-minded forums, one is limited (read: prohibited) from openly stated what could or should be done. Each action will depended on the circumstances you are in at the time. I will say that the *will* to developing these strategies and think on these lines will be come more common as each person realizes that the “war” they believe is coming is already here.
C’mon - you’re now REALLY waiting for CNN to confirm it, are you?
Preparations to enjoin this ongoing conflict go far beyond the usual called-for stockpiles of Bibles, Beans, Bandages and Bullets. As I have stated before: This forum, with all its good work, fails as a war-time, SITREP repository (we find it more entertaining post commentary over the latest outrage on CNNMSNBCNYTWP, etc). Other forums will be needed for that. But as you review just today’s comments from around this forum, I see a consensus from the audience that counter-actions are becoming necessary...
... hence the reason for this thread.

Recent events show they have no respect for the election process. This has been on full display since 11/9/2016.
While the clarion call of the Real American is “Keep your power dry”, I am not one for “waiting till we see the whites of their eyes”. As I stated in just my last comment on another forum, the time for counter-actions to their behavior is months ago. We should already be actively engaged.
This does not mean resorting to actions protected by the 2nd and 3rd Amendments, although a direct response/retaliation to the attempted assassination of Republican Congressmen on a baseball field would have been justified (yes, I said that).
As you see, American is becoming under siege by mob-rule. Start thinking out of the box. How do you suppress a mob?
Rhetorical question: What helps fuel a mob? ANS: Those with the megaphones. The agitators. This is a key tactic of law enforcement when it’s time to shut down the mob.
Next question: What did dad teach you about dealing with a group of bullies when confronted?
I could go on, but I think you’re starting to get the idea. Gotta run.
Toodles,

While I agree that the original purpose & intent of FR is somewhat obsolete - that is, comment/debate current events as presented by the MSM - it's not necessarily true that it cannot be re-positioned and/or re-purposed as an effective mechanism to report & log patriot efforts.
However, a key part of that will be to acknowledge that self-reporting bloggers will necessarily form the new basis for news. And the critical component of individual reports will take the form of the SITREP summaries you mentioned.
In any case, we collectively really need to move on past just reacting to intentional propaganda efforts. It serves no purpose whatsoever to allow the enemy to set the agenda, and then sit back and smirk as people fall over themselves trying to dispute the basic facts. I mean, talk about getting jerked around like a ridiculous puppet.
Then I shall offer you this quote from Claire Wolfe: “America is at that awkward stage; it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.” And it seems you are operating from an understanding TPTB will allow any communications means to operate in opposition, I offer a hearty “LOL!!” Roll the calendar back to the 18th Century and take notes on how those smart guys organized. Proceed accordingly because the percentages of those who truly care enough to become involved likely won’t change much with the passage of the years.
