I am in no way advocating for the No Labels “movement” that hatched recently. I perused their website the other day (hat tip to a freeper posting their link) and checked out their “about” or “policy” pages. I found a number of ideas that made sense, or that I could agree with. Of course, whether any policy would survive the FR crucible remains to be seen. Having said that, some kind of tangible white paper(s) giving each of us a model to use when communicating with Congress in our own words might have legs. Of course we can start with Jim's commandments from off of the website’s home page. Lock and load.

I think that the most good would come from direct action individually and collectively here at FR; put another way- less talking and more doing. It's easier to sit at the commands and controls in a keyboard commo. center, than it is to attend town hall meetings, visit reps. when they are in their home districts, or visit statehouses or the District of Columbia. The rats have this strategy down to a science.

I realize I'm stating the obvious, and speaking about two very different steps or actions. One physical, and one mental. It takes both.

There are a number of recurring threads here at FR; some generating thousands of posts.

Anywho, if nothing else comes from this, I've given myself some ideas/guidelines/template to use.
