An answer to the question "What can I be doing to help get you in the House?"
That is not a simple question for the fact is there is much to be done, and with enough volunteers we can break into specialty sub teams to provide greater focus on the many areas needing coverage. There is an incredible amount of work to be taken on if we have the personnel.
A small subset of the work includes:
- local awareness outbound (helping get people aware of Liberty Candidates, including signs, petitions, people walking neighborhoods / beach front / etc to raise awareness)
- local awareness inbound (working to make sure the team is connected with every liberty minded group (both online and offline) in the District, then out to the state, and then nationally
- fund raising (again, local, state, national - online and off line - money bombs) -- a large war chest allows the campaign the freedom to have full time people shepherding / leading / training / etc...
- event planning individual (scheduling Liberty candidates to be out meeting with constituents, speaking, etc)
- event planning groups (bringing the supporters all together, rallies, cookouts, etc)
- event participation / planning (getting Liberty Candidates together at local, state, and national events, etc)
- training of volunteers (in how to fruitfully actively participate...)
- training of candidate (polishing presentation, speaking skills, speech practice, etc)
- training of candidate in congressional procedure, tradition, etc (to make the Liberty Candidates well versed and ready to actively participate in Congress / reduce / remove learning curve)
- media management (online presence (a whole sub team), print media, radio, tv, cable, phone, t-shirts, signs, billboards, etc)
- online presence (group attendance, networking, synergies with other Liberty Candidates, etc, )
- future congressional staff (identifying positions, personnel, scoring, training, etc to have a rock solid staff to hit the ground running day one in Congress...)
The above is an incomplete list off the top of my head and it deserves a thorough going over to add in detail and missing pieces. We also most likely should get a top notch Campaign Manager, someone who is seasoned, vetted, trustworthy, and likes a good fight... Time is actually short in that we are, similar to the Founding Fathers and patriots, fighting the establishment and thus will face many, many hurdles / barriers / etc placed before us by the establishment. There is much work to be done locally, now to build up the foundation required to put a Liberty Candidate into Congress in 2010.
One final note: SEAL training deeply ingrained within me the lesson that "there is no such thing as a fair fight". The way to win is to train harder, faster, and with more discipline, vigor, and resolve than the enemy is ever willing to muster. Being highly trained and ready brings the advantage to our side and erodes the enemy's position. Be not deceived, both sides of the Congress have it in their best interest to keep Liberty Candidates out of the House. As such, as soon as we begin to attain success at the local level, please expect to witness national level heat brought to bear against us. This is indeed a fight and we must not be caught unaware, unwilling, or tire of the conflict.
In Liberty,
