Trooprally,
I, and all freepers, appreciate your efforts, and all those freepers who are able to go to D.C. and have a presence there.
I attended the first GOE march in D.C. It cost me a lot of money to travel from Tennessee to D.C for this.
Most freepers are hard working (were anyway, before the jobs disappeared), average Americans. It costs a lot of money to travel great distances.
I know this has been discussed before, and many of us (including ME) didn’t act on it. We need local, grassroots efforts to organize and get our message out close to home, where our goal is attainable.
People scoff at the “community organizer” concept that swept Obama into power. But it apparently works.
Every one of those moneychangers in D.C. is elected in a district in some place in hometown USA.
We could probably smack ‘em harder here at home than in D.C.
Agreed - we need to hit the representatives early and when they are at home.
The FReep this week in D.C. was way too late and too small but all the faxes, emails and calls may have done some good since it appears the Rats are concerned about getting 60 votes today. We did what we could.
We need to get ahead of the 8 ball on gun control, the Fairness Doctrine, and others. The best way is to act now, and when your representative is at home. Get them committed to their constituents before they make back room deals in D.C. As JimRob’s thread says, we need a strong organization to work for and with us.
I’m just wondering if a strong organization already in place couldn’t start working immediately, while a FR PAC needs time to organize and build its self. FR is a good base, but as shown from the latest FReepaThon, cash strapped.

PS - GoE I was one of the greater protests against the anti-American groups that I’ve seen. It had the backing of Rolling Thunder and the mission, Protect the Wall, was dear to everyone’s heart. Thank You for making it.
