Resist, Rebuild, Restore (Strategy Overview)

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.

Comment by Lance M Hillier Sr on July 22, 2009 at 1:20pm: Have read and agree. Thanks.

Comment by Junior Bonner/CO state director on July 16, 2009 at 5:01am: Resistnet here in CO is playing "catch up" after taking a bit of a hit a few weeks ago, but expect to hear more from us on Resisnet in the not too distant future. We know that the adroitness and sense of immediacy by those who would defraud us of our liberties must be matched with equal determination and intensity on our part or it will likely bode ill both for us and our posterity.

Thx to you who have remained constant. You've been a real encouragement.

The forces marshaled against us are substantial and very real. Morale is not easy to maintain. However, not a day passes without noticing a clear and present danger to our liberties and that sure lifts it. Also, it is no exaggeration to say that the world is watching America's Tea Party movement. Our influence goes well beyond America's borders. We need to remember that.

When the time comes to act, CO will marshal her patriots and we'll be there... ;-)

Comment by Brenda P AL Dist 1 Coordinator on July 11, 2009 at 1:49am: This should be reposted monthly! New members join, and older members become discouraged. Everyone needs a reminder that this is going to be a long fight. I would also encourage everyone to obtain an email without real names and respond on democratic news and blog sites. Always be respectful, they will be really nasty. But, if we stick to principle and fact we will always win.

Comment by wm. rini on July 9, 2009 at 12:27am: from within this nation a new nation will rise

Comment by Isaac on July 5, 2009 at 3:13pm: The Army may be ready, but there are a lot of people who resist in the military as well.

Comment by Betsy Carraway on July 5, 2009 at 10:49am: The "Rifles, Rockets, and Revolvers " idea might sound good; but the Fed is really ready to respond. Police, national Guardsmen, and the Army itself, if need be...and with "spin" and the hidden messages embedded in all media, the sympathies of the populace will be on the Fed's side, not on ours. Certain early, unfortunate events in which law-enforcement officials, including a young father, get killed, willed be played up and arouse popular ire against us. So let's focus on the work at hand, which is the resistance. It HAS to work. Guns are NOT an option; as soon as we use them, they are legally banned, and the Fed gets to search every home...

Comment by Susan Haines on June 10, 2009 at 11:32pm: I am also working with the www.dallasteaparty.org group for not only the April 15th TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party protests, but we are trying to build a movement to not only fight the Obama administration, but restore our country's values and to get the right people elected office, who will agree to our conservative views. Join a TEA Party in your area! We are having the 4th of July celebration at Southfork Ranch in Dallas. Just a very patriotic day for food, fun and lots of other patriots!
