The Conversation Continues…

A voice comes to me from beyond the veil late nights like this.  It comes when I work.  Always working to provide better vehicles for our Conservative grassroots and lifting up those that stand shoulder to shoulder with me against Socialist Squirrels.

Most artists, men and women of deep thought know this voice.  To some it is their muse, others it is something of deep faith.  For myself it has never shared with me it’s name.  It only puts words lyrically in my mind and hyper focuses me on the task at hand.  It’s voice is strong and clear.  Very lyrical and poetic.  Much more informed then I think of my own words, yet I am graced with being it’s scribe.

Tonight, it has helped me put into words what I am struggling to comprehend.  Always a lifelong Republican, today, I have realized that the beloved Republican party is like in my great grandfather’s day, ran by Socialist Squirrels.  I like many Americans feel powerless to return it back to its foundation.  Free Soil, Free Labor, Freedom is what this party was founded upon.  Freedom to become what God has anointed this nation to be, the shining city set upon the hill as Ronald Reagan tried so desperately to turn us toward.

So I sat home during the Minnesota GOP caucuses.  Already been there, done that, and got the T-shirt.  I surveyed the lay of the political landscape in my backyard and I found tyranny and corruption.  I found a party infested with union workers paid to attend and hold offices in the caucus leadership.  I watched travesty of vote counting and bloody local politics happen before my eyes.  Yet, I was a good Republican and never brought the crime out in the light of day.  It would not serve our party well to do so.  I consoled and rationalized that when in power I could clean up the tyranny and corruption.  Yet, how do you defeat a paid infestation with our own tax dollars?

Tomorrow I was invited to a Constitutional event right here in my backyard.  By all accounts I really should attend.  I can always learn more about this beloved document as anyone can.  I can always recruit more local activists to my cause here in the Grizzly Groundswell.  Yet, I am not going.  This voice has other plans for me.  You see this voice and I are digesting the landscape and the mood of the activists online and off.

I am dealing with a myriad of  change in my own efforts, trying to get my taxes completed with gritted teeth and something is stirring deep within me.  A new strategy.  I have told you about moving from the bridegroom that supplies all the wine and bread for one and all to consume until they vomit at my expense to a strategy of pay to play.  Monday I will reveal more about this strategy and the direction, look and feel that this will bring to this effort.  It is a bold move but that is what leaders do, paint with bold colors.  I am already feeling the cold shoulder so I know I am on the right track! LOL!  Funny but it is true.

Why you ask, do I make such bold moves at the expense of loosing all I have worked so hard to gain?  I can only answer that with it is what needs to be done.  No more, no less, either you throw your shoulder into this effort with me, or you try to do it alone without enjoying the benefit of being on our winning team.  You see leading often leads one to feel all alone, and out on a limb.  It does not bother me to loose it all and pioneer because like my great grandfather, and so many visionaries and leaders, we have lost it all before and know we will loose it all again.  If we do not do what we know is right and prudent, then we are not leaders but stagnant gusts of wind.

Now, am I suggesting that you should not get #Grizzly right in your very own backyard?  Hell no!  We need you to step up to the plate.  Finally, we are seeing what we have been preaching since July 27, 2007 take shape before our eyes.  Keep getting active and give it hell!

However, join me in this conversation because the political landscape is crumbling beneath our feet.  What was the right thing to do in 2007, 2008 and even in 2009 is not necessarily what is needed in 2010.  Everything has changed and I am trying to get a hold of it all as many Americans are today.

You see, we do not need to build a foundation for election 2010.  The candidates are already chosen for us.  The right and the left are positioning their horses at the starting line.  They have bore these candidates, brought them up to run the way they want and need them to run and govern and now this election they are ready to carry out the race the way they have been trained and prepared.  Their jockeys are the same jockeys that brought us McCain and Obama.  Let’s be perfectly clear here brother and sisters.  Our opposition owns every horse in this race!

What I am setting out to do in 2010 is continue to lay the foundation of this online media empire.  It will serve us well for generations to come.  it alone is enough for one man to grasp and grow and be proud of it’s accomplishments.  Yet, there are so many other things we need to be doing as well.

In past posts I lay at your feet two huge responsibilities.  The first is Monetization of the effort.  I am hoping that the media empire or my Theodore Media once realized will assist in this but we need individuals to step forward and learn the complexities and nuances of political action committees.  We need others to learn election law.  Yet others to form watchdog entities that will expose the corruption and tyranny that is infesting all majors parties today.  And even more people to step forward in every backyard that can unite a disparate electorate around our Conservative grassroots ideals and values.

I was talking with a member tonight.  I tried to explain the place I am in today.  I feel like I have to return to the wilderness and raise an army to take back our party.  This is what I am planning on doing.  The direction my business, Theodore Media, this effort is moving will lend itself very well to bringing those brave souls who have already begun this really hard work.  We will first look for those that understand the value of working interdependent upon one another.  I am not worried about all your platform planks, after the War is one we can have fun keeping our fighting form battling one another over the spoils of the war.  But today, we have an opponent that occupies both major parties today.  Let’s defeat these Socialist Squirrels then sharpen our metal on each other.

2010 we have no hope of defeating the goliath’s from inside.  But we can affect the election from without and within if we find patriots still there.  We can lay the foundation for 2012 I pray.  It may take us longer as this is not an overnight task to accomplish by no means.  This is a marathon and not a sprint.

Even though all hell is breaking loose and we needed to be war ready back in 2007, we just did not wake up early enough.  We must not sprint to anything but incrementally stack up our modest victories.  We must build upon a good foundation of victory bricks and then build upon them layer after layer.  If you are not wise enough to see that in our knee jerk reactions we must not be anxious if our victories do not pile up quick enough.  If you get too anxious you make stupid decisions and even though we are doing what is right, it just will not succeed.

We are the Conservative grassroots and we must realize the limitations of our membership.  We are the minute men, the civil militia that still has to tuck our children in bed at night and bring in the harvest when it is ready to be taken.  We are the underdogs in this fight.  But I honestly would not have it any other way.  We have them right where we want them.

However, we must realize the candidates of 2010 were bred not of our mares and stallions.  These are not our horses and to bet on them for hope and change is folly.  Yet, we still are left with the lesser of two evils and must try to get their attention as they go through this pantomime of an election.

We must work hard today to lay the foundation and breed our own candidates and get them ready to run as soon as we can.  However, we can not send them out there without training and a jockey.  Just like every race there is a cost to be paid.  We must be able to raise money from our membership and grow our membership while always ferreting out the infestation that will be paid to soon follow.

So how do we go about doing this?  I know that the foundation is already being laid in backyard across America.  It is time now to bring these great Americans together.  We must give them our support and our shoulder.  We must also lift up our leaders in our backyard to our effort and present them as such.  “Chad, this is Mr. so and so, I have watched him for a year now bring together patriots right in my backyard.  He is worthy of your assistance and to be brought into our Grizzly Groundswell.”  “Hey, this is Mrs. so and so, and she is on fire, uniting our citizens in some exciting ways right in our backyard!  We need to have her insight in our Grizzly Groundswell effort!”

You see this is my strategy that I am laying out on Monday.  I have built the mechanism’s, the vehicles and the strategy to assure success if they are utilized.  I am going to soon have them available on a pay to play basis on www.theodoremedia.com.  It is taking me some time to pull this all together, but in the next two weeks it will take form.  Then, I intend to let those Conservative grassroots leaders in your backyard do what they do best…Lead!  That is right.

The Grizzly Groundswell effort has always been a free market.  If you pay the dues and utilize the system, you prosper like no one else.  It is funny, you would think that everyone would realize it by now.  If you give your good shoulder to this effort, nothing but success comes to you.  Sure we are all tried and tempted by Satan as he tries to deceive us from attaining God’s goal here, but God has always had His hand on our effort and lifted up and graced those that have not let go or taken their eye off the goal.  Even when we walk through the fires of hell, we come out unscathed, not a hair upon our head are singed.  Yet, it is so hard to find members like ours that have unshakable faith that moves mountains like those we have moved since July 27, 2007.

You see, I am that child at the grown up table.  I see what you do not, but learn so much from my members.  If you have the faith and are gracious enough to put that faith in the direction or effort I am suggesting, I have not known one that has ever been dissatisfied.  Sure, many have loved to hate me and they are enthralled and titillated to mock and jeer, but who laughs last?  Even though I am humored, they do not take my eye of the ball or the goal.  I am just reminded that not all are chosen or up to the task at hand.

Hey, life happens to us all.  It is no secret.  God does not just call us all to one task but interweaves our lives and efforts as we go about our journey.  I am blessed by the presence of   even the most destructive that God calls into our effort.  I learn from each of our members and it is these challenges and opportunities that give us the victory bricks we build upon layer after layer.

So gird up your loins and join into this conversation.  It will continue as we strive and struggle to bring about a new day for this shining city set apart upon the hill.

Remember, never, ever, ever, let the bloody bastards bring you down and in turn, do not be surprised when they come out of the wood work to attempt it!

Get #Grizzly!
