Most of us here at TownHall are aware of the facts regarding the mood of the People, the election results, what the prospects of an Obama administration hold for us, and what the future of our nation could be because of these things. We have been able to determine the reasons for these things, and, for the most part, the remedies necessary to prevent the destruction of America as we have known it. The thing that frustrates us and causes the sense of urgency and impending doom we all feel is the immense and overwhelming, almost impossible task of getting those in Congress to listen to us and then get to work doing what needs to be done.

Just getting the sincere attention of our elected officials is daunting. But the thing that stops our efforts dead is our inability to convince them that we know, better than they, what needs to be done, that there is more to gain from our plan than from the road they’re on, and that business as usual is no longer acceptible. Their arrogance of authority and the everyday opportunities to line their pockets influence their thinking and actions billions of times more than our annoying letters and phone calls do.

There is only one way that we can demand their attention and make them listen and hear what we have to say, and that is to increase our annoyance factor so much that it is impossible for them to ignore. We need to increase the number of those annoying letters and calls to the point that pink message slips cover their and their secretary’s desks, and bags and bags of letters fill the hallway outside their office. There should be so many mail trucks lined up and waiting outside that they can’t even park their Mercedes. That kind of annoyance would get anyone’s attention. That kind of a show of power will strike fear into their hearts.

Our job is to convince everyone we know and everyone we come in contact with to send those letters and make those calls, and to not quit with just one or two. To really demand their attention, to make them truly fear We, People, we need to flood them with dozens and dozens of letters, and the same amount of phone calls, every day, week after week, until that congressman buckles under the weight and makes the evening news with a press conference promising to heed our message and do the right things.

This sounds like the same ole’ same ole’, straight-out-of-the-box advice we always hear when people try to tell us what we can do about government. Well, it is the same, with one exception. I am not pretending that your call or letter is going to make any difference. What I AM telling you is that time after time, person after famous person insists that the strategery [sic] of massive amounts of letters and line jamming numbers of phone calls DO get their attention. And there is no need to be overly polite about our demands, although anger and insult won’t work either. A stearn, insistent tact without all the sugary "with all respects" and "wish to requests" will have more of an impact. And when they all demand they do what they promised when campaigning, and when they all threaten to vote for someone else next time sending them home unemployed, they DO have an influence on their actions in office. The public outcry against the McCain immigration and amnesty bill in 2007, is a perfect example of what I’m saying.

If We, the People, can have that kind of influence over a single bill with a few thousand calls and letters, just imagine what power we can generate when we ramp that up by a factor of 100x or 1000x to a larger number of officials. If we were to drown every congressman in a sea of paper and make it impossible to even dial 9-1-1, we could either drive them insane, or over to our way of thinking.

And what’s more, we need to decide, very early on, which members of Congress we can have the most influence over, and which ones will just ignore us no matter what we do. Princess Pelosi and her lover, Dingy Harry Reid, are perfect candidates for being tossed into the toilet and forgotten as they will never bend to our influence. But there ARE those elected officials who have tried to do right in their jobs, or have just given up trying, and those are worth the effort to influence until they prove that they, too, just need to be replaced by the Voter’s Revolt next election cycle.

This may be more work and take more time and effort than we are used to having to do. I mean this will require unprecedented numbers of people willing to pay higher long distance bills and buy more postage stamps to really do the job. We will need millions of folks to make calls to relatives back east or out in Californication. We need to contact those we haven’t spoken to in years or decades. It will require a dedication to this effort that some won’t be willing to make. But just look at the alternatives if we DON’T do something effective. Our very way of life, the liberties fought and died for by so many heroes, the very existence of America the Beautiful are the stakes in this battle folks. And if that isn’t worth every minute of time and ounce of effort you can possibly invest, then what do you have to say to all those in Arlington Cemetary, or in Fallujah, or to their parents, wives, and children? What would you tell old Honest Abe if he were to meet you at the pearly gates? How much more, oh, so much, much more, have so many given in protecting and insuring the survival of truth, justice, and the American way? Can we ever claim semper fidelis? Will we be forever faithful? Will we earn and deserve the title "American"? I believe we all have that in us, or we wouldn’t be here now.

So…. Let’s get to it and just DO it! JUST DO IT !! Our very lives depend on it.
