I Don’t See Any Blackberries At This Meeting, But I Do See Motivated Citizens
These are the people who out-hustled conservatives this election season. Look and weep as you watch a room full of whinging leftists and dried-up 60s leftovers plan where to take the country now that they’ve won.
And here we conservatives sit, yakking about technology and Sarah Palin’s IQ. How many of these meetings have been taking place in conservative living rooms since Election Day? I’ll bet the answer is “almost none” with the plus/minus set at “almost”. You don’t need fancy tech for this sort of organization. You just need people looking to get together and push their elected leaders.

This is quite interesting. I will bet you are right that there have been very very few, if any, meetings of this type on the conservative side. It takes someone like, well.. me and you to do it. I neighbor of mine ran for congress against Emanuel Cleaver for the second time and of course lost again. He could NO airtime on the local TV stations or talk radio shows. No mention in the Kansas City (Falling) Star. This is nearly impossible odds to overcome if you can't even get any press coverage. So, I think, it starts with us DEMANDING these TV stations and radio stations start by showing BOTH side of the story when it comes to local and national elections. Boycott them, boycott the companies that buy advertising on those stations. Be committed and stick to your guns. I refuse to buy any GE product because of their continued business with Iran even after it was proven Iran was supplying weapons to the terrorists in Iraq. It may become inconvenient at times, but enough people boycotting and speaking out will make a difference. It starts with us.
jewells, I know a couple local newspaper reporters. They would be willing to come out and cover a group of local people that organized themselves and met and talked strategy and such. That's a good local-interest story that drives more ambitious coverage of the candidate's campaign as well.
