There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil for every one striking at the root – Henry David Thoreau
Will you be the one in a thousand? According to the polls 85 per cent are OPPOSED to the President and the Democratic Senate’s agenda. Even if one in a thousand takes action, we will have a massive impact.
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. — Leo Tolstoy
PUT AMERICA FIRST! Stop being a good Democrat. Stop being a good Republican. Start being a good American.
Sometimes we tend to make things a lot more complicated than they really are.
DON’T SHOP — ‘TIL THEY DROP!
How about a few phone calls that you can easily make that will force the HANDLERS of puppet Senators to his/her knees?
You’ll have more impact that way than you can possibly have otherwise.
FAX and PHONE and VISIT the Public Relations and Media CONTACTS for key firms.
Follow the money. Find the source. Shut it off. That means change your spending and shopping habits. To do otherwise is fantasy, wishful thinking. But be prepared to make a few changes. I’m doing it. Many will.
Money talks. Whining walks.
The ‘designer cynicism’ of Antonio Gramsci can be defeated.
You get what you inspect, not what you expect.
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
Floodlights in all the corners, folks.
It’s about criminal justice, not just criminal employment of criminal foreign entrants.
It’s about health safety and the well-being of your family.
Politics is local. Fix the local ‘broken window’ and you start the chilling effect on crime at the grassroots. And this grassroots seed will yield a nationwide harvest.
Everybody, together now.
If you want what you don’t have, you have to do what you haven’t yet done.
Definition of Insanity: Keep shopping and consuming and vacationing the same ways and complaining the same ways and expect different results! No, that would end up someday not as just insanity but also futility. Victimhood. Slavery. National Suicide. Good thing we’ve come to our senses.
Contact the biggest five or ten or twenty firms you can find a contact in. The higher up the better of course–but any level will do. Identify yourself and tell them how much you have spent in the recent past at their place of business.
Tell them you are dropping off a sign at their place of business and you will shop there IF and ONLY IF the sign is prominently displayed in the entry area. Tell them you will also be soon stopping by their location and providing them a Personal Affidavit for the Manager On Duty to sign, with preagreed mitigatory damages.
Start thinking like this. Start making your supply chain accountable for the full range of consequences.
If they refuse, walk away and create a competing ecosystem.
The Pardon Bill has been exhumed once again, minus any pretense about Border Security.
We don’t need to distract Congress, we need to de-fund Congress’ shadow funds sources and we can start with the many that are not shadowy at all.
Grassroots, grassroots, grassroots!
Local entrepreneurism and local investigative reporting are going to be a key to taking local control back from the state and especially the federal/multinationalist usurpers of citizen and national sovereignty.
Kill the clichés
Nope, not an attorney but I can imagine something like this:
So, you’re the owner?
Sign here and I’ll shop here gladly. If you refuse, I’m going to consider that you’ve got something to hide and proceed accordingly.
AFFIDAVIT
UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, THE UNDERSIGNED ASSERTS THE FOLLOWING:
“I ____Petronski____ hereby warrant and affirm that all employees employed at Petronski Village Manufacturing are verified, legally employed personnel.
“I agree to mitigatory damages of (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) for any person illegally in my employ, whether directly or through an agency, with any such damages to be paid in cash on demand to BEARER of this original document.
Signed, ____________________________________
Date: _______________________________________
Present that to your local super market managers and you'll be doing a lot of bartering, because I expect they'll kick you out on your ear....if they can stop laughing long enough to do it.
Guess you aren't aware of the new union bill that Harry Reid and the dems are trying to shove down our throats, huh??
Yeah, I know. This is coloring outside the lines and all that.
But do you remember the song Alice’s Restaurant? How about if fifty people walked into every store every day with such a form?
I’m sure that many grocery stores and agribusiness firms are NOT offenders. Figure out who is and stand up about it. Confront those who do hire illegals. Boycott them. Picket them.
Don’t just think grocery stores. Think landscape, etc. Ask your neighbors if they’ve verified legality of their services.
It needs to be done. Appeal to conscience. Take a stand.
Find some constructive ways to bring positive change.
If you help turn the tide, the powers that be have fewer dollars to spend.
And without those slushy shadow dollars, elected representatives have to sit up and take notice when we demand they honor their oaths.
I know you’ll make us proud.
Cheers.
"Stop being a good Republican."
I think not.
yitbos
no yitbos
Nope. But I thought we were talking about now.
ping FYI
I tend to agree with what’s said. However, I don’t think the American public has the will to effectively boycott products and/or services over the long term. Furthermore, I don’t think enough pressure will be applied over the long term to change the existing Presidential/Congress aristocratic system (or maybe Cabal is a better definition).
I’d say start a “boycott the vote in 2008” campaign and demand representation based on the will of the people. It’s much easier to tap into the 85% of disenfranchised Americans with one theme requiring only a commitment to that theme. With this leverage, the masses can demand change.
I don't mean give up the right to vote or not to vote in 2008. I mean boycott the potential vote for the RNC/DNC candidate and use that leverage to entice 3rd party candidates. This gives the masses leverage, to VOTE for the best candidate. It simply puts more horses in the starting gate which makes them all run faster.
Excellent post.
Love:
If you want what you don’t have, you have to do what you haven’t yet done.
A few challenging aspects here and there . . . but 1776 was challenging, too.
Much agree.
Though I’m sure the puppet masters will dry up alternate sources even if they have to murder the principles to do it.
Would still likley hinder them at least a while. And hindering is a lot better than rolling over and playing dead.
Clearly ONE size does NOT fit ALL.
I’m sure there are other threads more suited to your sensibilities.
The phone calls strictly to Congress have not been enough to stop the attempts to injure America.
Don’t curse the darkness, light a candle.
If local entrepreneuers work together, they don’t need to buy much from outside the local ecosystem. That’s the way it used to work and can work again.

I fiercely agree.
And, am actually, in the process of doing some of what you suggest . . . without realizing it until now.
INDEED.
