The courts have failed. The legislatures have failed.
We have one last chance to seek a peaceful resolution to the flagrant lawlessness of the 2020 election. We need every voter who was disenfranchised due to our governments repeated failures to follow and enforce the law to come out and stand together in Washington DC on January 6th.
How to organize:
- Make your travel plans
- Contact your local groups and ask for help in organizing. The objective is to consolidate membership lists and resources to build head count and travel resources. HELP BUILD THE LIST OF GROUPS AND RESOURCES IN THE COMMENTS
- Contact your state and federal reps and demand their support. They have massive contact lists and resource pools that they tap for elections, fundraising, etc. Further, many of them made all sorts of claims about fighting and not resting. It's time for them to put action behind their words. If they don't go all in to help and commit to showing up personally, we need to start recall petitions.
- Once you have a reasonable sized, local group, start a crowdsourcing effort to raise additional resources. Don't just make a million random pages of this sort. That will just confuse potential contributors and raise doubts about the legitimacy of the fundraising.
- Attending in person is Objective #1. Stay focused on that. Use the tools above to help make going in person possible for as many people as possible. Then get everyone to send letters, emails, make calls, etc. to help put pressure on all of the above.
We need to show everyone in DC that we are not going to stand aside and allow lawlessness to stand. Those on the fence need to see that our numbers are much larger and much more determined than the violent left and they will either gain our support or they will face our wrath.
It is time for the citizens of the United States to stand, take our power back, and hold our representatives accountable.
I think we agree on a lot more than we disagree.
No matter what happens and what anyone does, this fight will not be one in a single, sweeping action. This mess has been generations in the making. It will not be unmade quickly.
I also think that it is an error to leave tools unused. Yes, without question, government is broken, top to bottom, and has much more incentive to "move on" from all of this rather than deal with it. Yes, it will all need to be rebuilt and replaced. That said, I think it is wise to use whatever we can for whatever it's worth for as long as it's useful.
If you are tearing down a house, you don't go inside and start knocking out supports while the roof is still overhead. Sure, it would be fast and effective if you did this, but it also means that you are not available to rebuild the house.
We need as many people in the fight as we can get for as long as possible.
I am probably as disillusioned as you with traditional means of redress. Possibly even more so. That said, these means have moved the needle. When in history have numerous legislatures held hearing about an election prior to the Electoral College vote? It's never happened before. Some are even now issuing subpoenas. No, it is not nearly enough. But it is the result of a relative handful of people making their voices heard through traditional means.
Absolutely we must plan now and put all options and resources on the table. Let's not, however, crash the roof in on ourselves.
