I was at the seminar held by Mr. Edward Griffin who wrote The Creature of Jekyll Island. I was impressed and exhilarated to meet Mr. Griffin the first time.
What his advice was to go back to the party and to make change internally.
Get involved.
We have been protesting for over a year now. We just had the largest protest against fiscal irresponsibility in Washington DC. That rally, the 9/12 March on Washington DC, had over a million people in attendance. What did the media reported? Tens of thousands of people showed up. That is very misleading report. I was there marching and volunteering at the march. It really doesn’t matter if you are Republican, Democrat, Independent or Libertarian, but if you believe in liberty and pursuit of freedom, then we are all united in common ground.
We’ve been yelling for a long time and we have been protesting outside the Federal Reserve, the Capitol Hill, the state capital , outside the office of Nancy Pelosi, and still the media is just ignoring us.
But it’s time to change strategic course and get back to the basic.
Protesting is easy and effective in short term. We get a permits, make a few signs, build a viral marketing base and you’ll get a few thousand people mad as listening to people hoot and holler.
It is effective at galvanizing people, building communication, networking and creating momentum. But protesting is useless if the momentum is not captured and put to effective use in a proactive manner.
This is the right time to start organizing, creating awareness and educating about the Cap and Trade Bill, Copenhagen Treaty and Obamacare Bill. We have to start connecting the dots and look at the bigger picture.
I don’t know about you but if I ask my neighbor and ask them what a Tea Party is or what is Cap and Trade Bill or Copenhagen Treaty or Obamacare bill, they wouldn’t know. Why? Because we are so busy going from Point A to Point B and as long as we are in our comfort zone, we don’t care.
Despite our protests and rallies having tens of thousands in attendance, people outside the Tea Party circles are still uninformed about wasted tax dollars and will continue to be wasted unless we have some real change in all elected offices.
What are we going to do? We will set up a grassroots infrastructure with neighborhood coordinators, and district leaders.
We will hand out fliers, inviting people to homes for lunch and dinner events, hold public meetings, having a night out at local bars and businesses, and creating awareness of what is going on in our government.
We will be working towards creating awareness for fiscally responsible candidates for 2010.
It is hard work. Protesting is easy but if we want change, we are going to work hard at it.
It’s time to stop yelling at people who aren’t listening, who are going to keep ignoring us and it’s time to start listening to, talking with and educating our neighbors and family in one-on-one basis.
It’s time to take our energy, our momentum and our common sense to every single person in every state. So create your informational fliers, organize a community discussions, invite people over dinner and educate.
Lose the anger. I’m also angry, but it will not get me anywhere.
We don’t need people yelling, we need informed voters for the 2010 elections.
Let’s hit the streets, be positive and educate.
The time for change is November 2010, the time to prepare for hope and change.




It is indeed hard not to be angry; depressed too. We need on the ground action, i.e. handing out flyers, etc.
