Last night, after losing about an hour from the anticipated coordination difficulties of a new start up activity, our little group of grassroots media activists took our message to the street for a couple of hours and everything went splendidly. My stat estimates indicate that by the end of the evening we reached about 22,000 new people with our message(s),mostly for Newt. There was also some appropriate Santorum/Paul kicking and a little bit about the Arpaio investigation decision, in which probable cause of a criminal forgery has met the reasonable legal standard and Sheriff Arpaio - on behalf of the 4 million people he represents - is now investigating the identity of the Obama birth certificate forger to make an arrest in the criminal forgery as soon as possible. (22,000 - try that arguing with trolls on a FB message board that boasts 11,000 but in practical reality is actually more like 1,000 or less with only a manifest few dozen actual participants; the idea that those boards have more than a fraction of the people they boast to have is clearly absurd or they would be the most active places in the world, and they aren't)
I'd like to personally thank everyone in our group for a terrific job well-done; it was fun, engaging, sometimes outrageously hilarious and entirely successful. This will be a regular operation from now until the GOP Florida Convention. In that time, it is entirely reasonable to shoot for and expect that our message(s) will reach millions of people.
To those who have previously expressed an interest in being a part, all positions have been filled at this moment, but we will keep your name if we can expand the operation further.
EDIT: I found that by using the following comment as a response, it tends to shut down anti-birthers cold, and in at least in some instances otherwise, slow them down considerably and moderate their rhetoric:
***********************************
Obama supporters should stop saying that Obama's birth certificate is legit now that law enforcement has determined it to be a criminal fake, because by defending it as experts they are putting themselves into the chain of evidence, and could find themselves being arrested for willfully perpetuating a felony fraud for political purposes. No joke. Check the law. I understand prison is a pretty unpleasant place.
**********************************
I'll keep this comparatively short, but carry the thought around and express it whenever possible: you know that after 6 months and 2,200 man-hours with a large team of investigators of law enforcement people and lawyers, Sheriff Joe Arpaio - a man with 30 years federal law enforcement experience before downgrading his activities for simple personal reasons by becoming a sheriff - held a press conference in which he stated "probable cause' that forgery was committed. It is beginning to appear that many people don't know what this means. "Probable cause" does not mean "maybe" as suggested by the word "probable" - look it up. It means an alleged crime has been determined to have been definitely committed.
If you listen to Arpaio's full press conference, while he says he is unsure of where to take the larger issue, that isn't the end of this. Arpaio categorically says that the birth certificate is fake, a crime of forgery and fraud has been committed and they are now tracking down the forger so as to arrest that person, and since the 4 million people of his district have been defrauded, he has the authority to do it, too. Arpaio has 30 years federal experience with hundreds of lawyers as part of his volunteer resource, he knows what he's doing. He can do it - he can arrest the forger. He has the authority . And he says they have identified the computer on which the document was uploaded, so they intend to start with that person and work backward until they find the forger.
That isn't what you are hearing from the media. Please take a moment here and there to correct them:
ARPAIO IS GOING TO ARREST OBAMA'S FORGER. And he'll do it, too; he has the experience, the team, the knowledge and the authority. That's huge. Maybe the biggest this country has ever seen. And it's real and true and happening as you read this.
When the Obots online try to mock this down, remind them that public opinion does not matter and will not influence this situation, anymore, so their mockery is just wasting their own time: ARPAIO IS GOING TO ARREST OBAMA'S FORGER.
I have to say, with the larger Newt collection of supporters and other conservatives whom the media hates, with things so desperate for the country and time so short to get Newt the nomination/discredit Santorum (must be done, he's a pawn for the left now) and yes, advertise Arpaio's investigation conclusion that Obama's birth certificate is a criminal fraud (that's right, a criminal fraud, and Arpaio has a long federal enforcement history, he's not just some backwater Sheriff, this guy knows what he's talking about), that people would be anxious to immediately try anything for a short time.
It's frightening to think we may not be doing enough. But the fact is that as long as Santorum beats Newt and Obama beats Santorum in the polls, we are doing much of this very wrongly because the poll numbers are exactly the reverse of what they should be. If we don't act now to change things those numbers will be exactly what the election results will be in November. Now is the time to take more and stronger action.
It's too frustrating to look, right now, but I must assume large numbers of people on Facebook are simply allowing themselves to be drawn in by the leftist trolls - who are being paid - to argue endlessly instead of doing what we must do to win: sticking to a couple of solid, repeated messages there and elsewhere. While we chatter like monkeys on Facebook and message boards, other arms of the opposition's operation are hitting the larger population - and all the while we are not. It happens this way every election cycle; the opposition scurry on the ground fast and nimble and coordinated with the media covering for them and most on our side sit like pompous asses on message boards spouting like forth-rate Limbaughs waiting for Hannity to save us and the conclusion is almost always the same: we lose and wind up listening to people bitch about how terrible the mainstream media is, when those same people should be pointing the finger at themselves. The mainstream media has no duty to let us win - we have to earn those victories for ourselves, and doing the same thing over and over and losing is the classic and overused definition of insanity.
If we had half the determination we need to get off our collective asses and work outside our comfort zone, as ourselves or under internet aliases, as the opposition does, Obama would never have been approved to tour the White House, let alone live in it.
I say the following every 2 years - WE MUST CHANGE OUR HABITS - and watch as every 2 years the same thing happens: we creep closer to losing our status as a truly free nation. But like a hopeless gambling addict I will keep trying; maybe THIS time.... WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR HABITS. THIS MEANS YOU.
Thank God for the Tea Party and the fact that some people did get up and moving - but it took the threat of a literal slow death by governmental intrusion and neglect in the form of Obamacare to make it happen, and now that people have some hope that it will be defeated, eventually, they are falling back into casual old habits that cause us to lose. Hannity, Rush and their guests like Palin are actually terrible for our side; they give us a false sense of security when the reality is that they can do nothing - we have to do what need to be done.
The Tea Party saved us - literally in many ways - in 2010. But the poll numbers show Obama, with his horrible and disastrous record, is still doing well. That means we're failing, again - with his record he should be shown as being hopeless - that shows how poor we are at getting our messages out to the larger population, instead allowing ourselves to be suckered by manipulating leftists who successfully waste our time by saying outrageous things and draw us into meaningless arguments while others among their ranks get the the larger job done without opposition or competition. We need to be those 'others" for our side and get the job done, because arguing on Facebook is not enough. It never is.
The problem is, of course, the painful feeling that if you are not "holding down the fort" on FB 24/7, things will get worse there. My own feeling is that if the situation gets bad there, there are enough people there to fill in for you on those hours or days when you are doing something else. And we need to do something else because we are failing and that is not opinion, that is statistical fact.
WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR HABITS. We have to learn how to win. Taking a cue from the leftists is a good start. They win, and the reason is that they work hard at it. Get truly active in ways not currently being used - out-maneuver the opposition, put them in checkmate - God knows with Obama's record that should be easy enough if we only but put in the effort. There are enough talk show hosts. We need people getting the message out to the larger population. Out-maneuvering the opposition is what this board is about. If you subscribe (free) and qualify yourself (real name or alias, doesn't matter) as a long-time Newt supporter on Facebook, we can do it on a private board linked to this one where the opposition cannot see what we are doing and cannot counter our efforts at influence. But time is short, action here is slow and we need more people. Hurry. We're running out of time.
So I will say it again: when it comes to fighting our political battles WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR HABITS TO WIN. Is anyone else here confident enough in this reality to say it with me? Or do we just start believing in magic: if we do the same things that cause us to lose, only do them with little more effort, we will win, instead? The decision is up to you.
There is a thread already that touches on this subject on this board, HERE. But this takes the fight in an additional. important counter-attack direction.
Here's what's happening so far: as you know, the left is using Santorum as a pawn and voting for him in the republican primaries in so the weirdest and weakest candidate is the one that goes up against Obama.
I predicted that if this was a real movement taking hold and using Santorum, many of the Paul supporters would abandon Paul - it's the same blue democrat activists - and concentrate on Santorum, instead. This prediction would be proved if it turned out that Santorum's previous numbers went up and and Paul's numbers went down, as the liberal Blue Democrats shifted their manipulative strategy from Paul to Santorum. Unhappily, that is exactly what happened: Paul got a barely-registering 4+% this time around, much further down from his previous 9% - 12%. Santorum this time around went up almost exactly conversely to Paul. The causation is clear. Worse, according to Dick Morris, who knows his way around as President Bill Clinton's former chief political adviser and bestselling author, this is probably being organized by the Obama White House as only they would have the power to order union leaders to send out their rank and file for Santorum, which suggests they have the worst of the worst kind of October surprises waiting for Santorum, or they would not be this confident.
Now, on the one hand, we can show the world the videos of Santorum bashing protestants and telling the world that this catholic protestant-basher is simply theologically shackled to the point where he cannot win a general election - regardless of unpleasant Obama surprises waiting for Santorum, that's clear. And we need to keep doing that while pushing Newt.
However, they might just steal newt's otherwise conservative victory; polls showed newt winning handily among GOP voters but losing yesterday in actual votes. So what can we do? Many things, but IMO the most important is to see to it that regardless of who how candidate happens to be - and Newt could well lose this now to Santorum, let's not be cute about it - that they simply do not go against Obama because Obama is not in contention. How can we do that legally? Hold on to your hat: the so-called "birther issue", because the crime is no longer theoretical. Keep reading.
When Sheriff Joe Arpaio released his investigation report, as shown in the CBS news report, shown below, everything changed silently in a media vacuum; there is now a properly mounted and conducted criminal investigation done in accordance with all law and procedure that has decided that criminal activity was committed in the form of releasing a forgery, which in this case, is also a felony - and people accused by law enforcement of being felons cannot run for president.This strongly implies Obama. It's more than exposing a fraud for political purposes; public outrage is what drives politicians to do uncomfortable things - like work - and could take Obama off his game as the candidate. if that happens don;t worry about our guy beating theirs - it would totally demoralize the left base, the moderates, particularly add the independents would abandon the democrats almost entirely. It would decimate the democrats for a decade.
For years the fake birth certificate was in the theoretical world legally, but Arpaio's press conference changed all that. The only thing lacking is media coverage that results in public awareness and outcry. You can use THIS WEBSITE to hep get the word out, or just learn the information on it and spread it around.
Okay, then, here's how it is: if the liberals want to ruin our nomination process and try to keep us on the defense, then we'll legally ruin their nomination process and keep them on the defensive. If that's how they want to play, we'll play it. It's just that simple. Let everyone know that the liberals are using Santorum as a pawn and then please get the word out and press until it gives that you are responding with Arpaio's press conference, seen here: it's official: LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS FOUND EVIDENCE OF CRIMINAL WRONGDOING IN A WAY THAT DIRECTLY IMPACTS OBAMA AND HAS VAST IMPLICATIONS AS TO HIS PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT. It is, after all, his birth certificate we're talking about.. Criminal wrongdoing. This is their Watergate. Let's do it.

WITH SANTORUM'S BAGGAGE HE NEVER SHOULD HAVE WON KANSAS. WE NEED TO STEP UP THE GAME to keep this lunatic at bay. he cannot be our nominee. period.
His own words condemn him, so much so that this is what flips out the liberals trying to split the vote and/or get santorum - the worst candidate by their correct estimation - up against Obama. You can use these as copy and paste posts or as simple links. The liberals will post like mad to drive your post down into oblivion, so be prepared to bump your own posts and/or coordinate with friends so they can keep a conversation going and keep your post at the top. It's what the liberals do - you've seen it - and all other things being equal, we win if we do what they do strategically, because Santorum is a nut and the facts favor us and Newt. This can help us win and we want to win (don;t attach my name to these unless you want the FB liberals to try to destroy you, because they hate me for stuff like this) :
RICK SANTORUM CANNOT WIN AGAINST OBAMA; SANTORUM INSULTED THE PROTESTANT CHURCH AND 15% OF ALL AMERICANS. He said protestants were "out of the world of Christianity". That is the context. Let no one tell you there is a larger context. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq_YBQR_v94
There are 21 mainline protestant denominations in the US and santorum insulted ever one of them in the most horrific possible way by inferring that they are all going to hell. Santorum is a disaster who cannot win. Pick another candidate - right away - fast. Santorum will get killed by Obama and the mainstream media.
BESIDES SAYING THAT WOMEN SHOULD BE IN THE KITCHEN BAREFOOT AND PREGNANT, SANTORUM INSULTS 15% OF ALL AMERICANS IN ANOTHER WAY.
He said protestants were "out of the world of Christianity". That is the context. Let no one tell you there is a larger context. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq_YBQR_v94

Santorum is a disaster who cannot win. Pick another candidate - right away - fast. Santorum will get killed by Obama and the mainstream media.
IT'S TRUE - LIBERALS ARE USING SANTORUM TO GET THE GOP NOMINATION AND GET OBAMA RE-ELECTED! the story from CNN, and proud they are of it, too. Only Newt Gingrich can save us, now.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEEBCb89bgQ
WE NEED TO GET THIS MESSAGE OUT. the video attached of Santorum bashing protestants only has 1,600 hits. No one knows about this. It's up to you to tell them on Facebook. Only Newt can win against Obama, now. Let people know.
( This is not, incidentally, the larger, coordinated strategy being put together. This is simply something you can do daily to help Newt.)
At this point, with almost 7,000 hits on my channel, and collectively including the youtube bootlegs over 20,000 hits totaled together, we can assume the regulars on the different political discussion boards on FB who want to watch it have watched it. However, there is still a very large audience that needs it and has not seen it - the 290,000-plus Facebook Newt supporters; his wall activity moves quickly and the video is easily lost in the shuffle, few people open the drop-down to see more than the few proceeding posts.
Some have tried to post original threads with the video and unfortunately, while well-intentioned, posting the link on an original thread shows only the internet address - not the thumbnail image and bold-lettered description which is the enticing part. The thumbnail image and video description only show up in responses to other posts, not in the main post themselves.
One of the great things you can do - and this is not meant to sound self-serving (the video was made as a tool to help Newt, not my abstract internet FB identity which helps me not at all in the "real" world except that I will live under the next president, also) is to spread this video. Why does that help? Because it reminds Newt's supporters how good he is - how many people have lauded him with glowing kudos - and how he will perform in a debate against Obama. This has proved to be by far the best tool I have managed to come up with to help Newt, for whatever that may mean. But the Facebook trolls removed me from FB - my sacrifice - but they won't dare do it to you, too; established Newt fans are not the same as the troublemaker who actually created a troublesome-for-opposition video.
So I am asking you to re-post the video link a couple of times a day, every day - a 2-minute operation that requires nothing more than the self-discipline to do it. Newt people continually find and compliment the video. 99% of the people who need it - the ones on Newt's wall - have not seen it.Please give them something that will help keep them active and energized.
DIRECTIONS (submitted to you as a request):
1. Go to Newt's Facebook wall
2. Find newt's own most recent post at the top of the page.
3. in the comment section, post a link to the video with something that will induce people to watch.
In this way, the thumbnail and Youtube description get included with your post, and when people see that, they won't be afraid to click on it - a mere link could be anything, including a site with viruses. This way, with the Youtube image, they know it's clean and safe to click on.
If you can do this 3 times a day, you will really keep morale up, and keep our side on the offensive. If you post on slower threads with few comments, it will be visable longer. Right now, the media is trying to freeze us out and keep Newt's supporters on the defense. This one simple action will help enormously. After over 20 years of successful professional media experience in NYC leading teams and creating material, I know what I'd doing on this. Other epople can talk about telephone banks and getting recruits to go door-to-door - that;' what they know as experts. This is what I know as an expert.
It's a simple thing to do. please do.
Here is the link in address for to highlight, copy and paste:
This is not meant to replace your other efforts, but since it only takes a minute, to supplement them. Never assume that a fast-moving board with 290,000 people have ever all seen the video. You can post 50 times, but still most will have missed it. I'm pushing this one because it is successful in it's purpose - to energize the Newt base. Keep posting. there is no such thing as doing too much for your country, and right now, that means for NEWT.
Two new polls out today show that Newt’s message of $2.50 gasoline is resonating and voters are responding to his bold leadership that has put President Obama on the defensive over his failed policies. In Alabama, Rasmussen shows Newt with the slight edge for first place with 30%. Gingrich – 30%
Romney – 29%
Santorum – 28% And in Mississippi, American Research Group has Newt in first place with 35%. Among Tea Party supporters, Newt holds a commanding lead with 49% to Romney’s 24%. Here are the overall results: Gingrich – 35%
Romney – 31%
Santorum – 20%
It should be noted that Rasmussen has personally never liked Newt and his prejudice against Newt is well-known in the media. This suggests that Newt may be doing much better in Alabama, because Rasmussen, unsurprisingly, has always had Newt the lowest among most polling firms.cautious prediction: other polls will show Newt doing slightly better in Alabama, possibly outside the margin of error.
