RE: Acting ‘Locally’
I like the advice to act locally. We should be involved at the city and county levels. — SukieTawdry
Interesting that you should mention that.
Last ‘Tax Day’, 15 April 2009, I participated in the local TEA Party event.
During the course of the speeches being made on the county courthouse steps, someone showed up carrying a sign about “Racism” and paraded through the assembled participants shouting words to the effect that they were all ‘racists’.
We were ‘prepared’ for this possibility and executed a ‘counter-plan’. People who recognized the ‘Hey RUBE!’ call, gathered around this interloper and began shouting back at them, “No More Taxes!”. And everywhere this person went, they followed him and shouted, “No More Taxes!”.
Eventually, the interloper decided to walk to the periphery of the TEA Partyers and shout and wave his sign projecting his ‘racism’ from the side-lines. I suspect that the arrival of two of the local police helped him in identifying where the border was between HIS freedom of expression and the rest of the 500+ TEA Partyers.
What’s my point?
You HAVE to ‘act locally’. Especially when the opposition is acting locally.
