One By One

Laura, at Pursuing Holiness, is going on strike as of February 11th. Like so many of us, she has had enough. I learned of this idea from Michelle Malkin's March 4th article at Townhall.com with the typical catchy phrase, Malkin style, "wealth distributors vs wealth redistributors". Enough, indeed! Quinn and Rose at the War Room, hardhitting talk show hosts on XM Satellite Radio, channel 158, 6am to 10am EST, actually read the article one morning. This may seem like a last resort sort of idea but you know what, I'm not so sure we're not there. Keep it alive...toss it around, pass it around cause this merry-go-round ain't stoppin. Those arrogant operators in capital cities all over this country are showing no signs of letting us off.

BTW, March 27th is planned as a digital march on Washington with massive emails, phone and faxes to home and DC offices. Content? TEA PARTY! No More Spending. No Tax Increase. Send pictures of the Boston original Party or the tag off of a tea bag if you're going snail mail. It's time to bombard them. My only problem with this idea from The 912 Project is that it is only one day and more of the same. Patti Ann Browne brought up to Glenn Beck on his TV show, we don't think "they" read them. Even if they do, minds are rarely changed. Marches on the mall seem to have little effect. Thus, GOING GALT. Ah well, gotta start somewhere. Join us next Friday!

News Links on Going Galt

Meet Dr. Helen at Pajama Media. It's an interesting interview with three people who are Going John Galt in their own unique ways. Also, an October, 2008 article at same, shortly after the introduction of the idea by Dr. Helen. Interesting date, pre-Obamunism! Hat tip to the fast sinking Republican Party.

Looking to Go Galt

It's a movement...I hope. Coined by Dr. Helen, picked up by Michelle Malkin. Creatively, you stop contributing to the economic system which is upholding an oppressive government and incompetency in general. I hope to post links to what people are doing to pull back. Dr. Helen, for instance, plans to close the shutters on her business prior to entering the upcoming Obama increase tax bracket, you know, the one that keeps getting lowered. There might be little we can do to work the system but ve have vays of hurting it. Drastic? OH, YES.

Let us know what you hear about town. I'll try to post what we are doing, or not doing, to help.
