How To Fight

HOW WE FIGHT THE ONSLAUGHT FROM WASHINGTON LEGISLATORS

First of all remember that this is a fight of numbers:

A few hundred of us attending a rally or calling our legislators to express our opposition to bad legislation is not enough. We need thousands and tens of thousands of us from every state and area participating in phone and fax blitzes. Here are the suggested steps that each one of us needs to take.

SUPPORT GROUPS LIKE THE TEA PARTY AND PARTICIPATE IN EVENTS

SUBSCRIBE TO OTHER GROUPS LIKE THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION AND AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY TO LEARN ABOUT THE ISSUES
BEST WAY: CALL OR FAX YOUR RESPRESENTATIVES TO EXPRESS YOUR VIEWS, AND OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE, IF ONE IS AVAILABLE, LIKE HR 2300 AGAINST THE CAP AND TRADE .

CALL OR FAX THE BLUE DOG COALITION MEMBERS. THEY ARE THE MORE MODERATE DEMOCRATS WHO MIGHT VOTE AGAINST A BAD BILL. WE HAVE POSTED A LIST OF THE BLUE DOGS HERE. THE LIST CAN BE PRINTED FOR CONVENIENCE IN CALLING. THE GA AND AL BLUE DOGS ARE ANNOTATED.

WRITE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, WRITE TO LOCAL NEWSPAPER COLUMNISTS. TALK TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY. EMAIL EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST. HELP US SPREAD THE WORD TO OTHERS WHO DON’T REALIZE WHAT IS HAPPENING.

It is easy to put things off. Family obligations, work, activities, and other commitments use up our time. Sometimes we are reluctant to speak out. Generally, the people who really value their freedoms are busy doing the right thing, being responsible for themselves and their families. However, we can no longer ignore the problems. Each one of us needs to join the fight – to stand up for Constitutional principles and freedoms. If we don’t join the fight, our country as we have known it will be over. We can’t sit on the sidelines and let our military be the patriots; each one of us must become a patriot too.
