The RedState Army

We haven’t talked a lot about the RedState Army in a good while. The Cap and Trade vote made me realize how useful it is. We aggressively called Congress and were able to push a few people back from the yes category. Same with the Supplemental Appropriations Act, where we were able to keep all the GOP in the “no” camp until it reached 218 votes.

Sure, both measures went on to pass, but we were able to make it difficult for the Democrats. And it is more and more important that we grow the ranks of the RedState Army as the healthcare fight picks up.

Below the fold, I’ve got the updated numbers by state. We have a total file of 15,554. We have enough information on 7,319 to target them by state. We’ve only added 1,000 people in the past few months without me aggressively pushing this.

Let’s get on the ball and see what we can do to increase the numbers.

We should be able to get up to 200 in Colorado. 300 should be easily doable in Illinois. Texas can get to 600.

Will you help? Get your friends to sign up here. Or you can use the form below.

Likewise, below the fold, I’ve got the state by state numbers. See how many people in your state are members and see if you can increase that number. We need your help.

as much as I would love to join, I have to keep my name and address in the very private domain. I can not risk my name and address being made public, anyway to do this anonymously?

Yes

That’s an army phrase to call the company together to be ready for anything.

The talking heads are right when they call the big rush of policy by Obama a change in the US forever.

Obama knows that if he doesn’t get cap and trade and healthcare by 2010 elections, the pushback by the people may stop him forever.

But if he does get cap and trade and healthcare done, the chances of the US ever pulling out are slim and the US that has been for 200 years will not be again.

Now is the time to join in and hold the line until 2010 reinforcements arrive !

Do it for your family, children, friends or the vets that may have just changed the middle east forever with little help from anyone except the soldiers on their right and left.

Eat ‘em up Houston Cougars !

I'll see you in Atlanta

but I’m already on the list, I donated to Paul, so I figure what the hell. I am not ashamed of my convictions and am not hateful or violent. I love my Country.

I also have taught my children to FACE THE FEAR. As long as fear has you by the balls you can’t move forward.

I was going to quote FDR but I’m not in that mood, yet.
