FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin wants to jump start a series of local initiatives, to help Americans learn how to deal with and defend against Barack Obama’s socialist agenda for the United States.
November 19th Martin launches the first of a series of nationwide meetings to prod the Obama opposition into focusing on issues and priorities
(HONOLULU)(November 19, 2008) Aloha from Hawai’i.
Let’s be honest. We need to decide and determine how to deal with Barack Obama. Americans have just indulged in a collective tantrum. They punished the Republicans for the past, by punishing every American in the future, and imposed as retribution for Republican failures a nation now led temporarily by Barack Obama.
Tantrums in nations, like tantrums in children, can often have unforeseen and unpleasant consequences. Our great national nightmare is just beginning.
But it is not enough just to rail at Obama. We need to develop coherent approaches to dealing with the threat he poses to our democracy.
Wednesday evening I hope to jump start a series of informal meetings that will gradually expand into a national conversation on how we oppose Barack Obama’s agenda.
John McCain and many in the professional political class have completely capitulated. They are addicted to being part of the action. But sometimes the best policy is to stay back and step aside, to stand up for your policies and programs instead of standing down in favor of fake "national unity." The addicts tell us to “get behind” “our president.” What? Get behind someone who stands for everything we are against? Now we know why McCain lost. He was willing to surrender on election eve. No “opposition” for him. Well, yes, he was against spending money to study the DNA of bears. (A complete column on McCain’s failure as a candidate is in progress.)
No thanks, but I completely reject McCain’s nonsense. We have every right to continue in opposition. In Great Britain, for example and by comparison, an “opposition” party is an ingrained part of the national consciousness. No one asks or expects Conservatives to get behind the Socialists in Britain. Why should we pursue a self-defeating policy in the United States?
Those of us who stood for something, and stood against Obama on the basis of something, not “nothing,” have every right to continue in opposition as Obama tries to create “ACORN nation,” a United States run by affirmative action retreads such as Eric Holder and controlled by ACORN-style kleptocracies at the local and state level.
Still, being “against” is only a starting point, not an end in itself. How do we do “against?” This inquiry is not necessarily a partisan one. A lot of Democrats are going to be desperate in the days ahead. They drank Obama’s Kool-Aid thinking they were going to benefit. The first to feel the sting will probably be the United Auto Workers and the Big three auto manufacturers. I could be wrong, but I doubt any bailout will pass. We could have a bleak Christmas in prospect. The UAW will be howling. Let’s open a new dialog with labor.
Let’s talk. Most of all, let’s learn to work with our opponents again, instead of segregating conservatism with “antis” and negatives.
What are the priorities? Do we try to root out the anti-Obama snake-oil salesman posing as Obama opponents first? Do we look at issues, presidential appointees, right-wing, left-wing? Just what does “opposition” mean? How do we react when William Ayers walks into the White House?
What are our hopes, fears and expectations until the next national election in two years? (In Illinois we file for the 2010 election in just twelve months!) How do we take down the “Obama Dynasty?”
Want to vent about McCain? Vent.
What I envision is a “national conversation,” but one created locally and driven by the initiative of persons in various parts of the country. I’ll be there to help, suggest, try to keep us on track. But mostly this is going to be about you, and how you feel, not about someone trying to impose a top-down order on your views.
Lastly, we are Internet-empowered. The Internet probably saved John McCain from utter humiliation. The aggressive work of Obama opponents on the Internet kept him off guard, and kept McCain's support strong even though he was an increasingly weak candidate. Obama, of course, spins exactly the opposite claim, that Internet opposition strengthened him. Don't you believe it.
But for the economic collapse, the Internet and Governor Palin could have powered McCain into the White House.
Obama was a new kind of candidate who showed us a new kind of politics, based on vapors and visions, not substance and experience. We have two years to learn how to defend against Obama-style politics. If we fail, America fails. Let’s start, let’s try and let’s do our best. The national journey begins in Honolulu, November 19th.
Republicans, Democrats and independents can continue to make common cause against Obama. Republicans also need to become a national party again. A nation that is splintered by warring geographic regions is a splintered nation. Let’s do what we can to provide a viable alternative to Obamaism. There is no other choice.

We as Americans will face something we have only had a taste of with the Clinton and Bush II White Houses......attack dogs more vicious than could be imagined.
Joe the Plummer never invisioned what would happen to him after asking a simple question.
The Republican party was frozen with the attacks on Gov Palin...but at least the pitbull (with lipstick) did fight back but only to the horror of the Republican Party.
Then we need to figure out how to turn the MSM back into true journolists instead of groupies with puppy love -- it wasn't until the last couple weeks that Reagan overcame the love they had for the Carter White House that put our whole country (and world) in jeapardy!
And we didn't have 'Gore's Internet' or talk radio back then -- but BO or BS's (either initials he uses he still stinks) attack dogs know how to manipulate the 'www' and the MSM like none before.
Maybe a true 'grassroots' effort like http://goooh.com (Get Out Of Our House) along with you Mr. Martin....we can truly stop the distruction of our great country.
However, Mahalo Nui Loa for everything you have done and will continue to do.
Michael
The hearing was a sham, just like so many that I have been to. Look it's obvious they want Obama in there, wheather he's qualified or not. The Constitution just does'nt matter anymore to these people. They have been trampling it for years. As far as the court hearing, what a complete joke. And by the way, I have never seen the word hearing in the constitution, have you? The Court System is evil in itself and is run by the Illuminati. Mr. Martin, I think u know this, so who are u trying to kid?
It is not a 'democracy' (i.e. mob rule) but it is allegedly a Republic. One place you might want to look is the Campaign For Liberty
We are all waiting to hear more on Hawai’i court ruling on Barack Obama’s typewritten, 1961 birth certificate....why are you taking so long???
Well Andy....what are you going to do now that your case was tossed out?? I read the ruling online. We were all pulling for you.
Hopefully you will assist some of the others and not throw them to the wolves. It doesn't matter who's case gets it done...It just needs to get done!!
Sounds like he's Appealing to the Hawaii Supreme Court, and then onward, can you say three cases before the US Supremem Court!?
fcuking traitor and bigot is what Andy's all about.
You forgot to call Mr. Martin a racist 'lazy drone'....but then again your name fits you very well and is why you voted to end our country with BO with his BS 'hope and change'.
