Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen.

[rhett o rick]

2. That sounds very good, but we need a more specific strategy.

Then we can work on tactics to meet the strategy.

Here's what I propose:

Strategy to take control of our government
1. Get the truth out to the American people.
a. Support independent media
b. Establish networks to promulgate the truth
Via internet
Independent of the internet
c. Work to affect the corporate media.
2. Become a force in local politics.
a. Be active in local Democratic party organizations.
b. Be active in other civic organizations like school boards, parent/teacher organizations.
3. Effect national policies by participating in national political organizations like moveon.org, Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), Democracy for America (DFA), PCCC, etc.
4. Establish a coordinated program to monitor elections to insure them to be free and fair.
5. Lobby reform.
