Grassroots Game Plan

Public Group

Description

What can you do to help restore our nation?

This group is intended to provide a forum for sharing specific, practical, effective actions that normal Americans can take to accomplish change we really CAN believe in — a return to the principles of our founding documents.

News

First off, I’m very interested to know which members of the U.S. House and Senate are responding favorably to our concerns. Which are already with us, and which are open? Sometimes it seems like we have no representation in Washington. We need to know who our friends are, and what they are trying to do.

  • PROJECT X HAS LAUNCHED!!!

    I’ve been working on this project with a fellow patriot for some 10 months on and off. At any rate, we have formed a new division of Darkstar Incorporated (home of the Congressional Hammer) called the American Center for Constitutional Government. We formed this division for the express purpose of showcasing constitutional/conservative candidates for the upcoming 2010 Congressional Elections. Here is the link to our Candidate Video Showcase: http://www.acfcg.com. Please note that we are still developing, but the site is live.

    On the Video Showcase page (http://www.acfcg.com/?pid=36), please be sure to play the Bill Parson video to see how the videos are displayed. This is our way of helping to level the playing field so grassroots candidates can compete. Many of them do not have lots of funds in their coffers and they don’t have big party backing or backing from special interests (which is a good thing).

    The CMS (Content Management System) running on the back end is in BETA and scheduled for version release in June. Again, please note the site is now live, much to the chagrin of my developer! There Typically, a website is developed, tested in a controlled environment, and then launched. We are doing it live because we know that primaries for some states are held very early (TX is already over). When it is finally done in a few months, it will knock your socks off as there is nothing out there like it. Technology is cutting edge, and we have many plans that I will share with you later. These plans could quite possibly revolutionize the election process. The main thrust of the American Center for Constitutional Government is to educate the voter in every way possible…that is the ONLY way we will get our Republic back and then be able to maintain it. You can’t have a government by the people for the people if the people aren’t involved and educated on the candidates and the legislation being proposed. ACFCG aims to change that!

    We are marketing to a target audience…conservative groups, tea party groups, tea party PACS, conservative PACS, etc. ACFCG will have a presence on social networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, Ning, and LinkedIn. Darkstar already has over 4,450 subscribers and they are growing every day. I’ve grown our subscribers by 450 in just 4 short weeks (that’s an average of 100 subscribers each week). We are also utilizing the most effective methods of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to move higher up in rankings.

    Videos are housed on our own secure servers and are not taken down unless you tell us to. Yes, you can put videos up on YouTube for free, but they aren’t as secure as on our servers. Try a search for ”conservative candidates” or ”grassroots” candidates on YouTube and get tons videos in return…no rhyme or reason. Our site will be searchable by state as we add more candidates. We will also link to the candidate’s website with a reciprocal link to ours…which gives both our sites more hits and moves us up higher in the search engines.

    Like many of the tea party activists, my partners and I all have day jobs. Like you, we are burning the candle at both ends to get this out there, and we are developing it live because we just couldn’t wait until the full version release if we are going to help grassroots candidates get the exposure they deserve.

    My email address is fleighton.acfcg@gmail.com. I know we can make a difference and get the word out on these grassroots candidates.

    And please read my blog, The Federalist Pages. I have an article out there on GOOOH…Tim Cox is on to something…we have a reset button…the Founders were brilliant!

  • Attention TEA Party Republican Loyalists:

    Last Weekend, I asked a Republican State Senator via email to ask the Republican Leadership if I could meet with them to discuss the principles, values and issues of the TEA Party. I told them I was going to write an article expressing my opinion as to whether the Conservatives in the TEA Party Movement should join the Republican Party, try to take over the Republican Party or start a third party.
    You can find a list of the tea party issues I feel are important and non-negotiable in this article: http://twurl.cc/23fy (Please let me know if you think any of the principles, values and issues I identified are not consistent with our common beliefs. Also advise me of any I may have omitted.)

    When I called Tuesday, I was told by this Republican Senator’s Staff that she would be too busy to meet with me probably until after the end of the Month. As of 930a today, I have not heard back from either the Senator nor the Republican Party of Minnesota.

    Caucuses are in Minnesota are February 2nd.

    Do you understand what you are facing now? Do you understand the Republican Leadership will look at you with the same smiling expression on their faces as John Edwards did in denying his affair and fatherhood of his illegitimate child and tell you, ”Of Course we will adopt your principles and stick the shim in your back when elections are over when they no longer need your vote?

    Those were my thoughts.

    Respectfully Submitted,

  • Dominick….

    I would assert that your position is that of a Republican Loyalists. I am a Country and Constitution Loyalist. I place those loyalties above those of parties. Why haven’t the Republicans courted the TEA Party instead of discrediting and demonizing them if they share our values? Please go to some of my blogs and read some of my writings. It would take too long to bring you up to speed.
    The Repubicans are as Responsible as the Democrats for the mess we are in. WE HAVE GOVERNMENT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
    I don’t think it is too much to ask them to walk the walk, instead of just talking the talk.
    I dont want to start a third party either, but I think you have boughten into the contrived framing of elections that both parties engage in.
    They have us voters arguing over relatively petty matters while they steal us blind.
    But you dont believe that or believe they will change.
    So lets stop this passive/aggressive stuff and get to the heart of the matter.
    Before the end of the month, why cant the tea party leaders in each state meet with the Republican Leaders and make our demands for REAL CHANGE back to the constitution, fiscal responsibility, limited government, term limits, no more plutocracy and personal high standards of moral, ethics and integrity.
    Make them put in in writing and I will stop supporting consideration of the 3rd party option.
    I think you are naive to think they will just give up power.
    I just think you have to experience what their real attitude is toward the tea party movement and I dont have to do anything else.
    I think you will hand you your ass and you will have your proof.
    And I hope I am wrong.
    But why cant we get this confrontation over with before it is too late to do anything but vote for the lesser of 2 evils?
    Enough of this pansy ass, non confrontation confrontation.
    Republicans, put your loyalty to the principals of the TEA Party now or let it be known that you are still for the same old corrupt Status Quo that got us into this mess.

    Repubican Loyalists are either part of the problem or persons who have bought into the Propaganda.

    I am trying to prevent you from going like sheep to the slaughter.

    Be direct with the Republican Leadership and make them commit to the tea party in writing.

    The sooner you do, the sooner you will no whether you should start a 3rd party or not.

    Those were my thoughts

  • Don we don’t need a third party what we must do is support teue conservatives for the RNC primaries getting them voted in at he primaries will guarantee us hat we will accomplish two things, first we will have true ronservative representatives and secondly we will get rid of the RINOs. Name calling is usually the tactis hat the left use beause they cnnot present a clear argument for their ideology, and calling some an idiot reassures me that it’s the idiot that makes that statement.
