"Let nobody fool you, all the loud noises we hear today are nothing but the death groans of a dying system. The old order is passing away, the new order is coming into being. But whenever there is anything new there are new responsibilities. As we think of this coming new world we must think of the challenge that we confront and the new responsibilites before us."
Martin Luther King, Jr. August 11th, 1956
We are those new leaders in a new day.
Now what is our organizing principle? What is the goal that you are I are willing to sacrifice all, yes even our lives, for?
I say the organizing principle is Democracy... it is to rescue this Republic from the Fascists who now control it. But you need to cut this into bytes that can be used and explained. If you say democracy people will look at you... weird... after all we have a democracy... didn't you get the memo?
Moreover, you are to use history as a guide, we have been here before. Yet our present condition is different from the condition that faced MLK. We are now living in a police state.
So first things first, do not loose HOPE. If you hope, then they win.
Here are the things that all of you must do locally.
1.- Create Action Committes. Each committte must have an organizing priciple voted in by the organization. Yes we want a democracy back, you need to do this democratically.
Remember:
The only true responsible consensus will emerge from the grassroots
Every alliance must be considered on its own merits (Yes look for the support of TRUE conservatives and Libertarians)
True alliances are based on self interest for both groups, and some common elements (Liberatarians and US want to protect civil rights, true conservatives and us believe in budgetary discipline)
When one person stands up, he will be run out of town, when a thousand stand up... the situation is wholy altered.
Laws only declare rights, they do not deliver them. Yes you will have to fight for them and stand for them.
