I Found a smaller number of people who were willing to talk on camera before the Twin City Tea party, yet a few stalwarts were willing to speak their piece. Theresa Coache was the first:
And Bill Parsons was the second:
Many of the people who attended the March 16th morning and evening protests as well.
…on what to do to fight big government if you live in an uncompetitive district. My two favorites:
“Campaign against your local Congress critter regardless. Donate to his opponents. Even if he wins in spite of your efforts the strength of the opposition may worry him and affect his votes. And you might beat him. Who expected us to win Kennedy’s seat (sic) in Mass.?”
I like that suggestion a lot, it was lonely holding that McCain/Palin sign but it made people know someone else was there.
Another reader emails: “I live within 100 miles of a Dem congressman’s district in my state. He voted against the bill. BUT…before the vote I called his office and informed them I will contribute to his opponent if the Democrats pass this. AND I told them I will drive the 1 1/2 hours to help his opponent knock on doors, stuff envelopes, answer phones, get out the vote….whatever it takes to defeat him. As a clincher, I told them I am unemployed thanks to his party’s policies. I’ll have plenty of time to devote to his opponent.”
…if I had any more to add I would suggest some publicity perhaps hiring a fellow with a fedora to cover your candidate for a week.
I’ve been saying this for a bit so it is a real ego boost (via glenn) to see a person of Hanson’s stature say the same:
Do Democrats realize that we really have crossed the Rubicon? In the future when the Republicans gain majorities (and they will), the liberal modus operandi will be the model—bare 51% majorities, reconciliation, the nuclear option, talk of deem and pass, not a single Democrat vote—all ends justifying the means in order to radically restructure vast swaths of American economic and social life. Is someone unhinged at the DNC? They just blew up any shred of bipartisan consensus when their President polls below 50%, the Democratically-controlled Congress below 20%, and health care reform less than 50%. Usually unpopular leaders and their unpopular ideas seek the shelter of minority rights and prerogatives. What will they do when they are in the minority—since they’ve entered the arena, boasted “let the games begin” and shouted “by any means necessary”?
Oh and I guess I owe Christiana Bellantoni a gift card, if she would like to contact me I’ll get it purchased.
