This forum is insanity. It is almost impossible to track conversations so far as I can tell.

Could be that I'm not all that bright and am missing the obvious, but the forum operation does not seem very smooth.

It is an existing book list, seems to me as busy as he and his crew are with this, the radio, the TV, that using existing material where ever possible is a smart, time saving idea.

Those of us who are on Intense Debate should be following each other btw.
If we are in agreement, like minded persons that is, then we need a way to stay connected, share ideas and discuss.

I couldn't agree more.
Lot's of energy here, but no focus.

The first step is to make sure we ourselves are informed, then our families, the the guy next door and so on down the line. We share and dispense this information, we use tools like the 5000 year leap to keep ourselves sharp and to sharpen others.

As I've said in other postings here, we fight to win hearts and minds.

This isn't just about winning the next election. That is the easy part.

It's about achieving something that will last for generations to come.

If we do not win hearts and minds we can win the next five elections, but the nation will drift off course again sooner or later. We have to instill these principles and values in our children and they in their children. We have to share and exhibit these principles and values in our communities.

We need to work at winning elections, but not just at winning elections.

If we all run off half cocked with half cocked ideas then we will accomplish nothing and the project will fail.

Bashing him does not achieve anything, exposing him does.

Weblicated,
I think that is exactly the idea, "It must start in our own communities".

It starts within our own homes, to our schools, our churches, etc...
It can easily spread across the nation like wild fire in this way.

Dick,
#tcot (top conservatives on twitter), #sgp (smart gilr politics) and others who organized the majority of tea parties last time have another round organized for 4.15.09. There is one planned for Mass currently, though perhaps not in your area.

Currently they are planned for Boston and Worcester.

I mention this not to promote #tcot or anything, but because I assisted in organizing the last and the upcoming tea party in Denver. There were several small groups trying to organize tea parties around the metro area, but I believe by coming together we had a much more successful event than had we all held our own little events.

Another will be held nation wide on July 4th.

I believe these tea parties are great, I am glad to be a part of them, but we also have to join each other in more personal settings. Discuss ideas, discover solutions, etc...

We are not going to change government by protest only.
5000 year leap study groups, things of that nature and then taking the information and knowledge that we learn from each other, the ideas we get from each other and dispensing it among family and friends. Win hearts and minds.

The more individuals we win over, then the more people we have to put pressure on our government to return to the ideals of our founders.

A postal worker just posted here saying it is very unlikely a tea bag in an envelope would survive the machinery. I would suggest printing an image of a tea bag. You could find one via Google images.

Let's use the crayon provided us by the founders.
It is not being used as intended and that is the problem.

Almost all of of are able to print an image of a tea bag however. While it might be a bad idea to send a physical tea bag, a printed image produces the same result. As well you can write on that image a short (appropriate) message.

Disgruntled... I'm scared given your screen name and your occupation. :)
