Apathy Kills Freedom

The Civil Right movement didn't destroy America,it strengthened it. Likewise the Tea Party movement. However, the time for watching is over. It's time to act in a positive, non-violent way - similar to the Civil Rights demonstrations of the past.

Remember that Progressives always want to ignore the REAL issues because they cannot support their side of the arguments. They can't rely on the truth. However, we should not confuse the truth with hatred. It's all right to disagree and to demonstrate against this administration - as long as it is peaceful.

Time to Act
But demonstrations can only do so much. We need to act by stepping things up a notch. Now it's time to stand up for what you believe in. Do SOMETHING and try to make a difference. Don't just respond - initiate!

If you're not happy with the direction that America is going, listen up. If you're not a member of your local Tea Party or 912 Project, you're helping the enemy! That's right, apathy kills freedom. Don't contribute to the enemy any longer.

The Pledge
If you've never been politically active, this is going to be a real challenge. You need to take a citizen's pledge to become an active citizen by doing 5 things, as follows:

1. Educate yourself on the issues that YOU care about. This could be government spending, gun rights, deficits, healthcare, expansion of government power - anything! Just begin to learn for yourself what's going on. Make it your personal responsibility to read and study and become as informed as you possibly can.

2. Personally ask the candidates who are asking for YOUR vote where they stand on YOUR issues. Call them, go to them, interact with them. Don't rely on TV or the media to get your answers.

3. Register to vote. AND, remember to vote. One out of every registered voters will NOT vote. If you want to change things in Washington, you need to vote. Note: We are not telling you how to vote - just VOTE!

4. Agree and commit to get two other people to join you with signing this pledge to become an active citizen. Seriously, just two other people.

5. Follow-up on those two people to ensure that they keep their pledge to register, vote and get two other people to make the same pledge.

That's it. It's simple and not too painful. It's all up to YOU! How about it? Will you take the pledge? We need your votes in November. As many as we can muster.
