I have an idea, but we need some folks in Connecticut to help. Connecticut, are you out there? Can you hear us
Your comment about Nancy Pelosi struck a chord. I had the exact same conversation----with a 30 year old. Let's face it, as much as we don't want to admit it, this election was as much about "Rock Star Image" as anything else. Many young people voted for him because he was young, energetic, cool, etc. Those same young people had no idea about the issues, (or in our case) who Nancy Pelosi is. It just didn't matter----they wanted the cool guy, and not the "old white-haired dude." I quote Paris Hilton. That's why I say we need to get the young people involved, They will find out what will happen to them in the coming years, and they will be educated along the way. They will also learn principles, but we have to reach out to them on their level---technology----or we come across as being just more "old dudes."
Reach out to the other WST groups in your area, move on to your county or parrish, move to state level, and so on. We can do this. Use the technology. We must have hundreds of tech-savvy people who can link us together. Data bases, Twitter, You Tube----whatever it takes. You know, "grass roots" with teeth. AND, ( and I can't emphasize this enough), we MUST get the young people involved.
For heaven's sake, what are we waiting for
Well, everyone, WE HAVE THE MECHANISM in place to start our own "ACORN" type group. WE HAVE "WE SURROUND THEM" FOLKS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY! We just need to link together, get organized, and get out there spreading the word---peacefully but with strength and respect. We can be in shopping malls and public places, ballgames, and neighborhoods. We have the right to peacefully assemble. If we need permits for these venues, or to go door to door, surely there are those among us who know the ordinances, and the correct and lawful way to do things. I cannot and will not believe that there is more brain power in ACORN than in the rest of us.
If we have two or three hours a week to blog, then we take those two or three hours to talk to our neighbors and community. Continued below.........
