Let Us Organize & Resist President Trump Part #3 or #4
Does the right to assemble give individuals or groups the right to disrupt? When groups disrupt do they disrespect the rights of others to partake or to listen and ask questions? Does the right to disagree give individuals or groups the right to destroy private property? Was the Tea Party created through organized efforts or did it just happen because of frustration? Is there an organized effort to oppose President Trump? If yes, who organized this movement? What do we do if we suspect the reporting of the media?
ACTION: One of the first areas addressed is safety. QUOTE: Do not ask someone to take on a role that calls for semi-confrontational behavior. Think about this statement. The implications are that they know and plan to have people capable and willing to be confrontational. As a reminder there are four parts to this chapter so we will restate them here and look at each one at a time. #4 is the heavy action chapter. #A is all about town halls, #B how to act at public events, #C Describes what to do at a district office visits and #D is coordinated calls.
TOWN HALL/LISTENING SESSIONS: Do your homework and prepare 5 to 10 questions. Meet in the parking lot or a nearby location to organize and hand out the prepared questions. Get in line early but do not sit together spread out in the seating area but towards the front half of the room. WHY SPREAD OUT? When/if TV cameras (cell phones) are present everyone gets up and yells and chants which will give the appearance of broad support. When a member of the group asks a question everyone should stand and yell or applaud again to give the appearance of broad support. NOTE: this is a planned show of force to weaken the elected officials resolve because they want to get reelected. After the town hall the group should seek out TV cameras and crowd to the camera to make a statement that reinforces the impression of broad consensus. Someone should always record every event. Share everything on social media.
LOCAL EVENTS: This might be a dedication of a building or a school or a bridge etc. You must be visible at these events. Purchase (T) shirts with a message and carry signs. Be prepared to interrupt the event and if they refuse to listen to you be prepared with rehearsed chants of your message. Locate reporters and try to be interviewed. Always be polite and friendly but stick to your message speaking reelection language, “We want to remind congress XXX that their constituents etc. etc.” Often time’s local organizations host the events but they will shrink from controversy. Reach out to them and protest with letters to the editor or in front of their organizational headquarters. Actions like this will reduce the chances of these organizations ever hosting another event for the representative.
DISTRICT OFFICE: Alert the media that a group is heading to the District office. Have prepared questions and be prepared to host a sit-in if they refuse to address your questions. REMEMBER: Advertise what you are doing to the local media. Record your event and post on social media.
COORDINATED CALLS: This chapter deals with the importance of written letters, phone calls and e-mail. They stress the importance that if you get to talk to someone take down their name and keep notes of the conversation or record the conversation if you can. Direct quotes are great and anything they tell you is public information. REPORT: Report to the media and to your group.
THE REALITY: Remember these people are activists. Being an activist is not bad except these people do not believe in America and certainly believe America is bad. Therefore they do not believe in America’s election process. Have you noticed the number that still deny that President Trump is the president and bring up that he does not have a mandate? Trump has a mandate when you look at the results of the Electoral College vote Trump 306 & Clinton 232. But groups like INDIVISIBLE and OFA believe that the Electoral College is an instrument of the rich or as they like to say it “The Haves vs. The Have-nots”. For these people the desired end is to create a one world order or a new world and the end justifies the means.
END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS: Let me give you an example. Remember during the 2012 elections and Senator Harry Reid accused Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney of having not paid any taxes over the past decade. Remember, Reid did this from the floor of the senate. This was proved to be a lie and that was pointed out to Reid. Now here is when the end justifies the means. Harry Reid responded, “Romney didn’t win, did he?”
The 4th post will be on Wednesday which will address the following – WATCH THE NEWS = FIND THE TRUTH = DANGEROUS TIMES = WHAT TO DO = CONCLUSION
