Yesterday was huge for us. A core group of Tea Party “leaders” (and I use that term VERY loosely) launched Grassroots Pledge, a new project of the upcoming Liberty First PAC.
In just one day, we raised $7,500 and gained $52,000 in pledges. And more than 1,200 took the pledge to oppose big government incumbents. This is a big start and one heck of a statement, but there is much work to be done.
The following is a list of steps you might consider taking today.
1) Grassroots Pledge
If you haven’t already taken the pledge, please do so now. Our goal is to hit 10,000 by the end of the week.
2) Invite others to take the Pledge
The only way we’re going to be able to make this go viral is if all of us get our networks plugged in. Please invite at least 5 people to take the pledge today. They don’t have to pledge any money, but they should at least pledge to oppose the incumbents we’ll be challenging.
3) Tweet about it
If you’re on Twitter, please click this link and tell your followers about us. This can only go viral if we all pitch in and help make it so.
4) Join GOOOH
Part of what we’re doing requires that we identify new citizen candidates who can run for office. It’s our belief that GOOOH (Get out of our house) provides one of the best models out there for doing this. We highly recommend you visit their website, find out what they’re up to and join their effort.
We like the GOOOH model and we’ll be supporting their efforts through 2010 and beyond.
5) Blog, blog and blog some more
Do you have a blog? If not, you should. One of the most important parts of a war is information. He who controls the information, controls the outcome.
We as a movement need to be unified and we need to be a part of the narrative. We’ve partnered with Blogivists.com, a free-market, free wordpress blog hosting service. You can set up your own blog within minutes, and instantly be plugged in to a network of bloggers who think the way you do.
We have a lot more in the works, so please stay tuned and be ready to take action.
For Liberty,
