Grassfire.org has launched this “Join The Resistance” campaign to give grassroots conservatives a place to join together around the common goal of holding off as much of the Obama agenda as possible. Our goal is to bring together hundreds of thousands of resisters this year. When combined with similar efforts from the tea party movement, Glenn Beck's 9-12 effort and others, together we can mount a successful, patriotic, idea-based resistance.

Web-Based Resistance
The key will be providing web-based structures that truly equip conservatives to Resist. Step #1 is the Join the Resistance Petition. This platform is the foundation for everything else we will do. A million-strong email network provides us with the ability to respond immediately to each and every effort by the Obama administration to undermine our liberties. If you have not yet signed the petition, please do so now.

ResistNet adds to this foundation a platform for social networking that will connect Resisters to others in their communities. Our goal is to give concerned citizens both a forum for ideas and a practical way to get involved. Ideally, anyone who is willing to invest their time in advancing this patriotic, idea-based resistance to this new wave of socialism would be able to contribute through ResistNet in two key areas: providing solid, idea-based content and helping to organize locally through our State Groups.

We are also exploring ways to put the tools of the Resistance into your hands through mobile phone-based apps that allow you to Resist on the go. We will use fax, email, phone, and personal visit campaigns to press our case with leaders in Washington, D.C., who need to know that millions oppose Obama’s rush to the Left. Many have asked us to provide branded resources such as hats and t-shirts to help spread the “Join the Resistance” movement. We will add resources and tools based on need, practicality, feasibility and cost.

Resist, Rebuild, Restore
Resisting is just the first step. That is why we propose a three-phased recovery for conservatives: Resist, Rebuild, and Restore. We believe that resisting will create newfound unity among conservatives. Out of this, we must then Rebuild our structures. New, invigorating models must be developed that inform, equip and bring together conservatives and prepare us to return our ideas to political prominence. Again, the Internet will be a key battleground. The Left has moved far ahead in its embrace of and usage of new 2.0 technologies. The Rebuild process will leave Americans with a clear ideological and practical choice between the Left’s statist model and our model based on God-given individual liberties.

Having rebuilt, we can then Restore conservative ideals to leadership by winning elections. Ultimately, a movement’s ideas must result in electoral victories because that is the basis for legitimate authority and ultimately for implementing one’s ideas.

Resist. Rebuild. Restore. It’s not an easy path for grassroots conservatives, but it is a clear path. We know what we must do. And it begins with resisting rightly —respecting the new President but never backing away from the God-given ideals of freedom and liberty upon which this nation was founded.

How to Rightly Resist.

Sunflower State Patriot Comment by Sunflower State Patriot on October 15, 2009 at 2:00am
Yes, we need to more than double our numbers, but we cannot wait until 2010 to make a showing and a stand against the usurper and his adminstration. By then, there wont be anything of our country left and any march then would not be of the peaceful type.

We are at a crossroads and Obama is going to force a decision very soon. Unfortunately, I dont think that he's going to allow the constitution to stand. That way he does not have to recognize us as a peaceful resistance against his policies, aggressive spending, and failure to support our troops. It's patently obvious that he's trying to foment an uprising so that he can call for martial law and suspend all of our rights and freedoms. We can only hope that all of the "silent majority" who havent come out and been vocal against this takeover doesnt field a nut job who decides to take matters into his/her hands. That's all he's looking for. One incident.

Everyone, I was on a tele town hall conference call this evening with Tim Phillips from Americans for Prosperity and Rep Jon Shadegg - R, AZ and of course the topic was healthcare. However, there were several mutliple questions asked of Rep Shadegg and almost all of the people who asked mutiple questions/and or stated an opinion, the question/statement had to do with the constitutionality of what Obama is doing and how could a President of this country want to deliberately ruin it. I found Rep Shadegg's answer very telling. He very carefully phrased his answer but he did come right out and say that Obama's beliefs were that of a Socialist. Folks when members of Congress start telling you that, it's time to quit the partisan political stances and start talking to everyone you know about what is taking place in this country. It's time for each of us to recruit and to recruit heavily. Just doubling our numbers wont do anything to help us. We are going to have to multiply our numbers exponetially to gain the recognition that we need.

We should start building our numbers now. I was there 9/12 and will do my best to be there in 2010 with at least two other who did not go before. If we could double out numbers do you think they will still ignore us? Resolutions emanating from governance are usually in the catagory of feeding the problem and starving the solution, lately that seems to be a rule. shirley jean

Hopefully by now most have noticed this image on every page:


I created that post card initiative for those that "need to go re arrange the sock drawer" when confronted with ACTUALLY HAVING TO DO SOMETHING for our cause. It is also for those that, for one valid reason or another, are overwhelmed by life and need a simple convenient way to be heard and get into the fight.

In the vein of the reply to this post, I would encourage everyone to post the link:
http://www.resistnet.com/profiles/blogs/get-your-pink-slips-for
Everywhere you can think of, such as in REPLIES to all of the conservative articles being published on the web, and on Craigslist in your local political section as well.

We are only some 60,000, and many of that number may not be as active as we would hope.

We need to get OUTSIDE our BUBBLE in as many ways as we can and hopefully increase our membership.

We are being countered with some deep pocket funding, however we can overwhelm that with each of us contributing by using the power of spreading our message, and the knowledge of our existence to the HUGE untapped majority of like minded Americans.

Just look at the numbers of viewers of the Fox news shows such as Mr. O, Hannity, and Glenn Beck. We need to let them know we are here, and empower them with our support and resources.

GO GET THEM and bring them HERE!!

you know if you have to resist this much,there MUST be something wrong!
I think we have to be smart as well as fearless to beat these jokers at thier own mischief!
And I think most people are living lazy..and I hate to say that ,speaking to myself as well..we have lived so long ,being catered too,and entertained..that we have become complacent and not done the things we should have been doing for ourselves..and let the government do it! And now they want to do it all..big government ..and more taxes..with our money doing with it what we should be doing with it ourselves!!

I had a conversation the other day with a very good friend..and in the proces discovered she is a socialist :0) I never knew that! She thinks the garbage man should make as much money as a doctor.
So I told her a little story.."a man goes to his neighbors house ,and takes his lawn mower..Guy comes out and says hey man what are you doing? He says well your not using it ..so I'm taking it! same principle forced sharing..is socialism..and it's wrong!!but she says why not let the guy have it ,especially if he has 2 .well..Sharing because you want is okay...sharing because you have to ,is stealing no way ,around it !! Doctors go to school many years and study hard to do what they do..to have the risk and the responsibility .and make no more money than the guy who hangs off the back of a garbage truck ..well it's not right..and not that he shouldn't make good!all work is honorable..but not equal ..anyways I'll get off my soapbox!!
James H Lawson Comment by James H Lawson on July 29, 2009 at 8:53am
Is the USA going in the toilet or is it just me? I have made a decision. I’m no longer going to worry about some of my friend’s feelings more than my country. I’m going to say what I want, when I want and where I want and if it makes some people mad, let it happen. I can no longer stand by and see this country of mine go down the drain without a fight. I no longer consider myself a Democrat or Republican. By discarding that label I now can be very interested in everyone’s opinion and hope they would be interested in mine. Together, we the people (starting with my friends and me) will work together to fix the system that has been broken for a very long time. We have arrived at a point in time that if it is going to get done it will because we the citizens of this country take action and make it happen.

The two things I mostly stand for right now are Term Limits and that all Election Promotion Money must come from within the State that is holding the election (too much outside money influencing local elections which makes the person elected feel committed to the party more than the people in their area). I’m done with this crap of our elected officials are somehow better than me, having their own retirement system, medical system (you don’t think they will be on the same one they are proposing for us do you?) and other advantages that are not available to the rest of us citizens.

I’m tired of them not being held accountable for their actions where we can not even get a audit of the federal reserve because Congress can block the request from ever coming up on the floor of the House. I’m tired of the Madoffs going to jail and people losing their life savings and the government oversight officials getting away with saying they will try and do a better job next time of oversight and then just walking away. I’m tired of bills coming up for vote and not even being read and extra pages being put in during the middle of the night to be voted on first thing the next day. I’m tired of calling my elected officials and getting the same old run around of “thank you for your call” and that is all. I’m tired of all the corruption, corruption, corruption. I’m tired of standing by and not doing anything.

I may be tired in the future but it will be because I’m working to get my country back on the track that our forefathers blessed us with when this country came into being.

Respecting the President? Just a minute. Why should we respect this person that is a racist and Marxist and has NO respect for our law enforcement officers? Sitting back and taking all this crap is NOT going to help now. If we can't stop this administration by December all will be lost.
Respect the President? What sort of a whimpy attitude is that? Obama hates our Republic and is rapidly bringing it down. We need strong action - NOW! Respect be damned
Sheena Brown Comment by Sheena Brown on July 23, 2009 at 12:02pm
RESPECT??? If I have to respect this person, to belong to this group then color me gone. Gun's no way no how? So you think a lot of emails that don't even get read by the people they are to go too is going to get the job done? Sitting at a computer and complaining about whats happening is getting the job done. By the time everyone gets done typeing the US as we know it will be gone. It is time to act not sit on your back sides and watch the grass grow and the cars rust.

Get email addresses and use aliases okay I have a 19 year old grandson that within two hours could take that phony email address and tell me where you live.

No this group is not for me. I'm a kick a$$ and ask questions later type person. We have a muslim terrorist sypathizer holding the highest office in this country, oh and did I mention he's not even American!!! Bye I'm going back to a group that is ready to act and not just sit around talking like they want too act.

From a Partner Organization:

The BLACK RIBBON Offensive starts now…

OPERATION CAN YOU HEAR US NOW is proud to announce our next battle in the war against media-bias in the "main stream – fringe stream – state run" media.

Spread the word to everyone you know! It matters not whether you are a Tea Party person, a 9/12er, an activist, or just an everyday citizen and patriot – this is an event for all!

You’ve all seen the yellow ribbons tied around trees, on car antennas, and the ribbon magnets on the rear of vehicles supporting our troops. And, you’ve probably all seen pink ribbons worn or displayed in support of breast cancer research. Well, to put a new twist (and color) on an old idea we have created "The BLACK RIBBON Offensive".
