I received this in my
e-mail. The American Majority organization has stolen documents that our
progressive groups have planned to use to defend our positions. This group
is notorious for trying to cheat on elections and using unethical means of
undermining us. Such cheating is typical of this group and the Republican
Party. We need to get all their documents and learn how to counter their destructive
bag of dirty tricks. -SJ Otto
From American Majority:
The Progressive left is at it again. President-Elect Trump
hasn’t even been sworn in and they’ve already committed to undercutting him at
any turn. On January 2nd, three former congressional staff published
a piece of free advertising column in the New York Times promoting
their effort to copy Tea Party strategies to attack conservative policies. They
explain:
The Tea Party’s success was a disaster for President Obama’s
agenda and for our country, but that success should give us hope today. It
proved the power that local, defensive organizing can have.
With this in mind, we
coordinated a group of former congressional staffers and advocates to develop
“Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda.” It takes a few
pages from the Tea Party playbook, focusing on its strategic choices and
tactics, while dispensing with its viciousness. It’s the Tea Party inverted:
locally driven advocacy built on inclusion, fairness and respect. It’s playing
defense, not to obstruct, but to protect.
Once you get past the leftists talking points, slander, trigger
warnings, calls for diversity, and reminders to check your
gender/race/class/wealth privileges, the document is a well composed,
insightful guide to influencing your representatives. I suggest you download the pdf and
read the entire thing, but here are the 5 best insights from their guide and
how you can undermine their strategies to promote conservative solutions
to our country’s problems.
1. Understand the incentives of your representatives
MoCs want their
constituents to think well of them and they want good, local press. They hate
surprises, wasted time, and most of all, bad press that makes them look weak,
unlikable, and vulnerable.
Throughout the
Indivisible Guide, the authors constantly remind you to focus on the incentives
and priorities or your representatives. As they state Members of Congress
(MoCs) “functionally speaking, MoCs are always either running for office or
getting ready for their next election” no matter if they’re up for election or
not. Everything they do is viewed through the lens of how this will affect them
when campaign season comes around. They run their office and host events to
ensure constituents think their “MoC cares about me, shares my values, and is
working hard for me”. Breaking that facade will drive your MoC towards actions
you want.
What we’re reading
Here are the top stories we are following
this week:
A recent New York Times story that slams the free market
approach to education policy is rife with inaccuracies. Amazingly, the author
of the piece misrepresents the very data she is using to build her erroneous
case against school choice.
"Free Market for Education? Economists Generally Don't Buy
It," claims Susan Dynarski, a professor of education, public policy, and
economics at the University of Michigan, in The Times. This is a betrayal of
expectations, according to Dynarski, because economists generally understand
that free markets produce better outcomes than central planners (much to the
chagrin of education professors). Economists are usually the ones calling for
less regulation and more unrestricted capitalism; if they're super conflicted
about markets in education, that would be a serious indictment of the school
choice approach. Dynarski writes:
As the clock continues to wind down on the Obama presidency — 17
days, 13 hours and 42 minutes as of this post, but who's counting — his
closest of close advisers, Valerie Jarrett, told CNN's Fareed Zakaria in an
interview which aired Sunday that the administration has been
scandal-free.
Jarrett also said
Obama hasn't done anything to embarrass himself.
Expansion of Right-to-Work laws: Great news
for millennials
The 2016 election was a big win for young conservatives. The GOP
retained Senate control, and Donald Trump is now heading to the White House
with a pro-growth agenda.
While the national
implications of Election Day are important, so are the victories local
Republicans scored. Republican gains in state legislatures across the country
will mean more right-to-work laws (RTW) are coming – and this is great for
young workers.
