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 Tom Hackel on April 5, 2009 at 7:53pm: Its really great to see people trying to restore some sense of constitutional consistency, with all the large mountains we have to overcome. We really are going to have to sacrifice like our founding fathers did. Unfortunately, I think that most Americans have forgotten what sacrifice can actually mean. Thomas Jefferson once said "The tree of Liberty is fertilized with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants." What we really need is a true leader among the likes of George Washington, Davey Crockett, Stonewell Jackson and Robert E. Lee. I have only seen two true leaders in the modern age. Senator McCarthy and President Ronald Regan. With this all out Marxist assault on our liberties, may God send us a true leader and Patriot. God Bless America! Thank you, Lt. Tom Hackel Jr. Civil War Re-enactor.

Comment by TONY SALAZAR, SC DIST.#5 COORD; on March 30, 2009 at 10:04am: The other liberal, progressive side is a rabid, vicious movement dedicated on destroying our Christian values that have made the USA the envy of the world for many decades. It has taken them 40 years to almost accomplish their effort, little by little, while we have remained passive, just waiting in disbelief for their wishes to come true. Obama may be at the threshold of this accomplishment, except for the grassroots effort of The Patriotic Resistance. Just like the Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, and the Cloward-Piven Strategy (the bibles of the radical movement) we can retake our country from within. But first, we have to remove the existing RINOs, Democrats and naysayers that supposedly represent us and replace them with Conservative Republicans that are true to the US Constitution. And, not only changing political offices; also think about changing the structure of your local Board of Education and the Board of Public Libraries, in addition to targeting the universities and public colleges. We have target dates in 2010 and 2012, and in-between at local levels.

Comment by Carrie on March 26, 2009 at 1:55pm: All of the conservative groups need to unite....we need to stick together we must not give up, no matter how futile it may seem on some days....we must continue to be proactive in resisting this obamanation, we must educate those that are not informed, we must never back off from phoning, emailing and faxing our Reps....
We have too much to lose....Now is the time , we have been to complacent for too long...

Together we can make a difference....

Comment by Richard L Oliver SR on March 20, 2009 at 11:06pm: This maybe the ONLY way as AMERICANS that we can STOP congress from giving our CONSTITUTIONAL rights away , We as AMERICIANS the only group of people in the wrold that
have the RIGHTS, that the rest of the world wants, And belive in to the point that we send our own
SONS & DAUGHTERS All over the world to fight for other peoples Rights! But it seems that We as
AMERICAN CITIZENS MUST FIGHT OUR ON GOVERMENT TO KEEP OUR RIGHTS! The same RIGHTS our
FOREFATHERS /MOTHERS /SONS/DAUGHTERS Gave up thier lives for. WE MUST START SOMEWHERE!

Comment by Cheryl, MN 4th CD Coordinator on March 16, 2009 at 11:26am: It is time for us as individuals and as a nation to get back to living our values and priciples. An organized effort is being activated right at the kitchen tables across the nation. For more details go to www.the912project.com. We have the power if we just start standing up for our values and stop compromising.

Comment by Renee on March 16, 2009 at 11:02am: Our kids are enrolled in a private Christian school. We refuse to allow them to be indoctrinated by the Public School System. However, I've been hearing/reading that there are plans to force parents to enroll their children in public schools and to make homeschooling/private schools illegal. This scares the crap outta me.

Comment by BOB MCWILLIAMS on March 14, 2009 at 9:28am: I have written a Resolution that I beleive needs to be read before congress and voted on to protect the second amdndment. In short it states that all elected candidates must have taken and passed a firearms traing class before they can be elected and sworned into office. They would then be more likley to protect the constitution of the United States and /or their State.

Comment by Lisa on March 8, 2009 at 11:03pm: I am so glad to see a website that is actually a grassroots effort to help rebuild our country. WE are to blame for being the "silent majority". I think people now are realizing the "threat to freedom" and our country we are now in the midst of. I wish the American public were always this involved in the TRUTH about what is going on here. I can only hope that through God's help, prayer and the people standing up for "WE THE PEOPLE" that things will eventually get better. It will take some time though. We must NOT forget ! We must stay involved! WE must fight the good fight!
