It's All About People

No People Equals No Movement, Two People Equals A Landslide

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, this movement is all about PEOPLE. Without people, all the great ideas, all the great theories, all the great articles, books, web sites, publicity, planning, intentions, and all the money in the world mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! In short, NO PEOPLE, NO MOVEMENT. By the same token, if every who claims to have fire in their belly over this red hot idea goes out the door and ignites ONLY two more flames (no more than two are allowed), then we’ll have a LANDSLIDE on our hands come November of 2008.

Here are the kinds of questions we all need to be asking ourselves. Who else in my small, but immediate sphere of influence do I know who feels like the American political system is TOTALLY BROKE AND BANKRUPT? Who else feels as if they’ve been expected to go the voting booth and choose between the lesser of two corporately sponsored evils, instead of between candidates who truly represent the American people? And most importantly, who else agrees that if this nation does not pick up the remote, switch off the boob tube, get up out of the Lazy Boy, and go out and do something about it, the fiascos of 2000 and 2004 are destined to repeat themselves all over again in 2008?

Three Basic Obligations Of An American Revolutionary Party Member
Now, once you identify these people, and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know at least a couple of people who feel this way, you have three basic obligations if you’re going to cross the dividing line and become a fully activated member of the solution instead of just another hand wringing part of the problem. And mark my words. You are destined to be one or the other. It all depends on what YOU do.

Obligation Number One
Obligation number one is to RECRUIT YOURSELF. What do I mean by that? I mean, if you suspect what I think you suspect, namely that this idea really is the big idea that the world has been waiting for, the real McCoy around which genuine government of, by, and for the people can finally be built, then you owe it to yourself to dig into it further. Ask questions until you’re blue in the face. Check out related books, web sites, Google the internet, and wrestle with the issues until you have finally taken a position one way or the other. Either you’re in favor of this unique and new free market paradigm for the twenty first century, or you’re against it. And you know why in either case.

Now how can you tell when you’ve come to a decision? You’ll be able to tell when you suddenly say to yourself, “My God, why in the world have our leaders failed to implement this blatantly obvious solution? Why didn’t my teachers tell me about it back in school? You’ll know when the understanding you’ve developed turns into a level of excitement and enthusiasm that makes you glow in the dark, renders you contagious, and bubbles over naturally in the middle of normal conversations over cups of coffee, and causes you to tell other people about what’s going on in your life because they can see the excitement in your face and they can hear the enthusiasm in your voice.

Obligation Number Two
This phenomenon leads us right into obligation number two, which is RECRUIT TWO OTHER PEOPLE. But I don’t want you to see this as recruiting in any normal sense of the word. In other words, I don’t want you to feel like you’re selling anything to anybody. If you’ve really covered the bases of obligation number one, all you have to do is be around people, listen closely when they talk, and it’ll be easy to recognize those people who are aware of what’s going on politically. And when you do this, it’ll happen naturally, with absolutely no effort on your part whatsoever. Your understanding, enthusiasm, and excitement will begin to bubble up and boil over in the conversation, and before you know it you’ll have people wondering OUT LOUD just what in the world you are so incredibly excited about?
You see, genuine excitement over anything (let alone something as large and far reaching as this) is a rare these days. And when people see it bubbling out in you, they’ll start asking you questions without your prompting. Then all you have to do is fill in the answers... naturally, tell them what you’ve discovered, and before you know it they’ll be asking you how you got involved, and effectively, how they can become involved too?

Obligation Number Three
Once you’re contagious the real problem becomes the fact that you are allowed to recruit NO MORE than two people. That’s it. So your second basic obligation is to ignite two new fires, and your third basic obligation is to make sure that these new fires continue to grow brighter and brighter every day, every week, every month until they are as contagious as you are, and they naturally, without trying, ignite two more fires.

Two Quick Questions For You
At this point I want to ask YOU two questions. First, have you ignited two other fires and brought them to a meeting? Next, have you have you poured gasoline all over these two fires, rendering them white hot, and contagious enough to become fire lighters themselves? If not, the real question becomes, have you really recruited yourself? Have you cultivated your own fire to the point that you’re contagious? If your answer is “yes I have,” then lighting other fires will happen quite naturally.

It’s All About People
A genuine revolution (even a peaceful one like this) is always all about PEOPLE, and ACTIONS that will attract PEOPLE? If we can get to people to understand this revolutionary ideal, the American Revolutionary Party is destined to become a force to be reckoned with over the next 48 months. We must avoid laboring in the fields of ideals and theory. We must bring the revolution to the street, which is the only place where genuine fires can be ignited and grown into movements that will eventually demand the attention of those who are in power, because WE’LL BE ELECTING THEM!

No People Means No Movement
None of this is to say the other things we do are important. But in the end, when push comes to shove, No people, means NO MOVEMENT. And No movement means NO CHANGE. But TWO people, duplicating themselves over and over again over a 48 month period will develop into a LANDSLIDE that’s destined to change politics and life in these United States, and the world…forever and ever.
