10. They never blocked traffic, never engaged in civil disobediance.
Edited on Wed Oct-12-11 06:40 AM by Countdown_3_2_1
But look what they did in Nov. 2010. They ran and won majorities in 20+ statehouses.

What are they doing? Voter ID. Union Busting. Changing Presidential Electoral laws to give the GOP an advantage.

MY POINT: never, ever underestimate your enemy. The Baggers may not have gotten arrested, but they accomplished their goal. Taking the US House stopped the Obama agenda and set in motion the 2012 push.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY. They didn't just stand in parks with signs. They were joining and working with local govt to affect change...They ran for office.

---Learn from this. They never stopped at the picket line. Getting arrested was NEVER their goal. They were recruiting. Their real protest is happening now in State houses across the US.

The real task is to find out what worked for them, and to do the same.
