Green Team – Fundraising
Allen West needs our support
Well…things are really heating up in Washington between Debbie Wasserman Schultz (aka DWS) and Allen West. The Democrats are screaming for Col West to apologize for calling DWS the most “vile” member of Congress and saying that she is “not a lady” (nothing wrong with that….he speaks the truth). The female congressional democrats are especially hot under the menopausal collar (of course). So far…..Mr. West has not apologized.
Good! Please don’t apologize Mr. West!
DWS is using this event to do some major fundraising. A “please give me money to show your support”. Well, Col. West has also asked his supporters to give $25 to show their support for him. I searched the Internet and can’t find the site for his exact request or site where you can give but…I want to give.
I’d like to call for an “Allen West Money Bomb” today so here’s his campaign website link.
If anyone can find another specific site to give to support him in his fight against DWS…please post it in the comments below.
This is a Green Team Action Item.
Allen West is just the kind of person we need in Congress (and the White House).
He’s doesn’t fall for the Washington PC game and he speaks the truth.
Let’s show our support for him and what he stands for.
Go Allen Go!
ACTION ITEMS: What the new HillBuzz site was built around and how they will change politics as we know it in America
On Tuesday, Justin and I went to an advance screening of Jodie Foster’s new movie, “The Beaver”, here in Chicago.
Jodie was there, and held a Q&A after the movie where she answered questions from the audience.
Since I used to be an event planner, and I spent the majority of 2008 organizing candidate events for first the Clinton campaign and then Democrats for McCain efforts, I know how things like this work…so I got us seats right in front of where I knew Jodie would be seated as she did the Q&A (hint: if it’s a movie screening, and you want to meet whomever is going to speak afterwards, sit in the front row dead center if you can…because that is where the person will stand with a microphone to address the crowd, and there is no way that person can avoid meeting you if you are right in front of her like that…since most people fight over sitting in the actual middle of the theater and balk at being in the front row, if you don’t mind craning your neck during the movie you will get your desired facetime with Clarice Starling/Nell/the lady from the Panic Room if you want it).

Green Team Action Items: Working to defund Planned Parenthood, PBS, and others
The Cocktail Party GOP establishment is too wimpy to do this on its own, but when the country is broke, why are tax dollars going to Planned Parenthood, PBS, and other very partisan entities?
Why not defund them all?
Let Democrat donors prop all this up…and thus leave less for these donors to give to Democrat candidates?
Thid could be a great way to defund the DNC…by creating a scenario where Dem donors must choose between giving to the party and making up the shortfall for organizations like Planned Parenthood and PBS once they lose tax dollars.

ACTION TEAMS:
Today is the last day of January 2011.
Time flies.
Fast.
Before we know it, it’s going to be January 2012, and by this time next year both the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries will be over (Republicans don’t have a Caucus, like Democrats do). We will never get 2011 back again, and in 2012, we are all going to wish we worked just a little harder in these days to lay the groundwork for the defeat of the Left in November 2012.
I don’t know how your New Year’s Resolutions are working out, but I want to invite you to share in mine. The one thing I really want to accomplish in 2011 is to get the HB Action Teams up and running in a solid way that will give people coast to coast ideas for things they can each do, every day, that cost very little to nothing and all sum together to drive the Left nuts on an ongoing basis.
This is the role HB is going to focus on, because there are certainly enough political sites out there…there are plenty of news sites…but there’s no one out there giving people ideas for things they can do in real time, every day, that will do what the Cocktail Party GOP establishment has never wanted to do (or been capable of doing): take down the Left and metaphorically burn the Leftist-controlled Democrat Party to the ground, largely using their own tricks and tools against them.
So, my New Year’s Resolution was to redesign HB and take it to the next level, with the ACTION TEAMS focus at its core. It’s a lot of work getting into the rhythm of queuing up a new ACTION ITEM every day in the various categories we want to hit, so until I am in that groove, some of these might be repeated for a few days in a row, but some of them might need to be repeated (like a letter writing campaign or a research project that builds upon what’s found from day to day). As long as you keep chiming in with good ideas, we can keep improving things together, until we become a well-oiled little machine whose focus is directed at driving the Left and Cocktail Party GOP establishment crazy.
Moving forward, our motto is “Political Analysis, Action, and Adventure” around here. I will keep churning out as much content a day as possible and will try to be as funny and entertaining as I can be, every day, to hold people’s interests and make them smile…but the big goal here is to get people to start picking up phones, start writing letters to the editor and their elected officials, start finding ways to spread information in their communities, and to get off the couch, put down the Pepsi, and really rattle the Left and the Cocktail Party GOP establishment like never before. None of these people have ever come up against conservatives who are engaged, active, and using creative methods to ridicule the establishment and call the Left out on its hypocrisy and Alinksy tactics.
I think if we do this, and if the Action Teams become the force to be reckoned with I know they can be, together we can become that little variable that will help Governor Pali’s presidential campaign in ways her official organization will never be able to do. She can totally disavow our efforts if she needs to, and she can take the best ideas we have and run with them as her own. Whatever will help Governor Palin become our next President, so she can fulfill the mission I think she’s been sent on, to save our country.
Today is the first attempt at incorporating the Action Teams into the day’s content on an ongoing, regular basis. Each of these ideas is there for you to participate in, as much as you like. If you don’t like writing letters, then you don’t need to participate in the Red Team’s efforts. If you don’t like Research, then you don’t have to chime in on Blue Team threads. If you want, you can help with every one of these little projects…and suggest new ones of your own in the appropriate slots. There is no pressure to do anything at all, however. You can be a bystander and just a reader if you want, too, though I hope you will share these ideas and opportunities for action with people you know who will in fact participate and put energy into them.
I just want to make sure there is something to do every day for people who want to be active and not let a single day between now and 2012 go to waste. I want to give people the chance to help this country no matter what sort of talent that person has. I’ve met so many people in the almost three years of running HB that say “I just don’t know what I can do, I am just one person”.
Well, there’s a rainbow of options for things you can do every day here on HB. Take a look at one of them and try an Action Team on for size and see how it fits. Make use of the awesome abilities God has given you, and put them to use for our country, as the backup reinforcements that support the good people in elected office like Governor Palin, Congressman Allen West, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Governor Jan Brewer, and other HB favorites who talk the talk while walking the walk.
This is going to be a lot of work, but I am going to put my heart and soul into making it as much fun as possible. I have successfully roped every talented person I know in life into this effort. This is our watch, our stand against the Left, and we are going all-in with it. Every day.
So, get used to seeing the ACTION ITEMS colorful graphics sprinkled throughout regular posts. The new site will have a very convenient and easy way to check up on the latest items for each of the colors, so until that new site launches, we’re going to have to keep making do the way we always have. The new site is going to be a dramatic evolutionary step for us here…like taking something we cobbled together without knowing what we were doing, at a grade school level, and having it remastered into something sleek and professional and world-class. I want to hit the ground running the instant the tech team gets the new HillBuzz site online, so pardon the dust in the meantime and start thinking about the things you want to do each day that are a step up from just reading about the news…the step you can take to IMPACTING politics through activism that is tailor made for what you like to do and what gifts God has given you.
Let’s not waste a single day or cede a solitary moment to the Left, because we all know ACORN, the Union thugs, and the rest of Obama’s outfit are working hard behind the scenes to re-elect him, while the Cocktail Party GOP establishment dithers as usual and the lamestream media works overtime to do Obama’s bidding. I hope our efforts here inspire (or shame, as need be) other, bigger, more important conservative sites to step up their own efforts, too, and stop pontificating and back-patting enough to find ways to get more active as well.
Maybe if a little political analysis site in Boystown steps it up, others will be forced to as well, whether they particularly want to or not.
