Ok, we marched, Now what?

Posted by Jackpine Savage on Thursday, September 24, 2009 5:15:04 PM
 
 

  The glow of being part of the history making march on Washington september 12 is slowly dimming, and I've talked to friends who are afraid they made the sacrifice of time and money for little return.

 We gathered together that day to show our "Leaders" that we were no longer following their endless march to the left.
We accomplished a big goal, we got their attention.

 The full court press from the state run media to downplay the event, and lie about the true numbers proves we have their attention.


        Although one question hangs in the air, What now?


Yes, we have their attention, the question is, what are we going to do with it?

 For many, unfortunately, the march will be a "one-off" event, and they will simply go back to their comfortable sofa, and back to watching Tom Delay  dancing with the stars, meanwhile Obama is still dancing with his czars.

  The answer to What's next, is Get Involved.

 If there is a local election around you this year, research the candidates, find out who speaks for you, then Support them.
Remember, all Politics is Local.
Don't support the parties, the parties are what got us into the current mess. Support the individual candidate that best voices your opinion of how things should work, regardless of party.
 
 Although I consider myself somewhere to the right of Atilla the hun, I have occasionally supported democrat candidates locally, because they understood the issues better than their republican counterpart and best supported my views.
 Had I just donated to the faceless party, I wouldn't have been supporting the best candidate.
If no one in your area is representing the correct views, consider running for that seat yourself, or find someone who will.
 
Get Involved.

   Organize a local grass roots group of like-minded people.
 You'd be surprised how many people in your area hold the same views you do. (many you wouldn't expect)
You'll never know until you meet them, so Go out and Meet them.
Take a couple hours a week, and form a local group where you can bounce ideas off each other and learn how best to get the message out there for your candidates, or positions.
 
Get Involved.
 
  Write letters to the editor of your local paper, get the message out to folks who may not know better.
You'll be amazed at how many people you can reach with a simple letter to the editorial page of the paper.
 
Get Involved.
  If you were at the march, chances are you took pictures or videos of the event.
Share Them! Don't worry if your friends may be annoyed, Share them, Prove to your friends and neighbors that the state run media Lied about those of us there. To counter the lies, you need the truth, those pics and vids are Proof of the truth.
Get Involved.

Organize a local tea party in your area if there isn't one already, if there is, volunteer to help for the next event. Most local tea parties are organized by a few overworked, underappreciated volunteers siting around a kitchen table, Join them.


There are other things we can do, but like conservatism itself, it's an Individual choice. One choice we can't afford to make though is to go back to the sidelines.

Get Involved.

If you Marched on 9-12, attended a tea party that day, or just sat glued to your TV, cheering on those who Were marching, you are a Great American Patriot.

Don't let it be for naught.


Stay off the sidelines and Get Involved.

Marching on Washington - The 9-12 Meet up

Posted by Jackpine Savage on Thursday, September 10, 2009 12:13:36 AM
Since the boy and i will be hitting the road fairly early in the morning, I wanted to make sure I got this posted.
 
Here's the Meet up info for saturday morning.
 
 
 
I made a simple map of the Washington Monument plaza (very simple)
 
Just think of the plaza like a clock, as you walk out the entrance door of the monument, you are facing Noon.
 
We'll be waiting at 3 o'clock :o)
 
The march starts at 11:30, so I figure it's safe to wait up till 10 am for everyone to get there.
Then we gotta hustle to the staging area :o)
 
 
 
 
I'll be holding this sign, at least someone will :o)
 
 
 
 
 
and I'll be wearing a shirt with this design
 
 
 
 
We should be pretty easy to spot. :o)
 
There's supposed to be a good sized group meeting up.
Anyone reading this that's coming to DC, we'd love to see ya.
 
That includes you Lurkers too. :o)
 
I hope to do a blog post on saturday night, but pics will have to wait till i get back home.
 
If you can't make it, be sure to watch the fox news coverage, and put their ratings through the Roof. :o)
 
The Silent Majority will Speak on saturday.
And they won't be able to ignore us.
 
Be there, or always wish you had. :oD

Marching on Washington

Posted by Jackpine Savage on Thursday, August 27, 2009 7:43:03 PM
 

   As every thinking person at Townhall knows (that excludes liberals) America is facing a crisis the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Woodrow Wilson administration.

 Americans all over this country are waking up to realize that this is NOT the "Change" they voted for.


 Thousands of your fellow American patriots are converging on Washington DC on september 12 to let the pretender in chief that we're hip to his plans to transform our country and we want it stopped.


 Democrats all over are sending busses loaded with SEIU "purple People" and other union/big labor thugs to shout us down and "shut us up".

 This should be a Call To Arms (figuratively of course) for all true American patriots to change their vacation plans, take time off work, or simply drop what they are doing and make sure thier voices get heard.

 We've all typed the old sentence on typwriters to test the letters, but now more than any time previously, these words scream out.

 Now is the time for all good men(and women) to come to the aid of their country!!!


 I understand that many of you have family reunions, vacations, and so-on planned right now, but I want you to ask yourself one question.


 If Obama pushes through all his dream legislation and competely takes over the country without a whimper from the American people,  Ask yourself what you will tell your children and grandchildren, when they ask you why Obama was able to do it with no resistance.

 Will you say, "I wanted to go, but we went on Vacation instead"?


 I understand it's not easy to scrape up the cash, and hard to take time off, the dog needs to be fed, and yada yada yada.

  Let me put it this way,

 I'm a Cripple, I walk with a cane.
I'm not a Rich Man, in fact I'm putting off some bills to pay for the trip.

 I already know that when I get back home from DC, I'll be laid up for at least a week and will be in constant pain for about a month, BUT, I  won't let this socialist turn My country into something I don't recognize.


How about you?


 A bunch of us from here at Townhall are planning to meet up in DC on the 12th  
(I plan to be either at the pentagon or shanksville PA on the 11th)

 We are coordinating the trip at my chat room  which you can find here http://www.fundmental.com/thchat.php

 I don't make any money from people going there, In fact it costs me money every month. I'm not in this for personal gain, or self aggrandizement, I'm here because I LOVE my country and refuse to sit idly by while it's stolen from us.


 I see the future of our republic important enough to change my plans.

 My 23 year old son is worried enough that he risked his career to take time off to come to DC.

 People from all over this country are changing their plans because they want their voices to be heard over the white-noise coming from the state run media.


 Is America important enough for you to join us?


 If So, then I'd love to see you join us.

 

 

 One more thing,
since some folks expressed interest in my T-shirt idea, I came up with some designs, posted below.

I make a whole dollar off each shirt, I basically just want to recoup my expenses.  I just want to get the word out to America.

If you click the picture for a design it will take you to the coresponding cafepress page to order one :)

If anyone has any good Ideas for shirts I'm open to suggestions too ;)
