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.
One other point:
We need people to turn out for any action. A lot of people. Right now, we can't even get 10% of the people who voted to turn out for a local, Saturday afternoon rally where no one goes to jail.
If 1 of every 10 Trump voters turned out in DC on January 5th and 6th, we'd have over 7 million people actively engaged. A gathering of that size has never happened. If Congress refused to listen, you will have over 7 million very pissed off people going to airports and bus stations on January 6th and 7th.
We have to get people active and engaged first.
Very true. My take is that it's hard for most people to get across the country. For most of us, DC is over 500 miles away. For millions, it's a couple thousand.
But most of us live within a couple hours of a major airport.
I agree.
That said, what is harder? Engaging in an action that will absolutely result in being arrested and jailed, but it's local and convenient to get to- OR- go meet up with 7 million other people where it's inconvenient, don't go to jail, and leave with 7 million new friends that are willing to do inconvenient things?
I don't see how anyone who bought a plane ticket can be arrested for being caught up in a traffic jam at the airport. =)
And I'm just afraid that no matter how many people show up to protest in DC, they just... won't care. They haven't cared up till now.
Hahaha. If everyone just gets a parking ticket, we really didn't accomplish much or get a message out, huh?
I agree. Theres a better than even chance that no one in DC will care or, if they do, will only care about keeping their fraudulently obtained career. They are not the primary audience. The primary audience is the people who turn out, start doing inconvenient things, and engaging and coordinating with others.
More optimistically, we have moved the needle with pressure on legislators. There have never been hearings like we've had before and there are some subpoenas going out. It's not nearly enough but that happened because a relative handful of people sent emails and made a call.
We need to build the numbers of engaged people and get them doing less easy things.
