From Eric Odom: The New 50 State DontGo Movement Network

The New 50 State DontGo Movement Network

To members of #dontgo Movement


Today at 5:31pm


While some in the media are trying to belittle the Tea Party events that happened today, they seemed to have missed the part where we only spent a week in planning, and only 3 days ago many of us were wondering if anyone would even show up!

But much to our pleasure and surprise, the Tea Party Rallies were a HUGE success! In fact, we here in Chicago had around 400, reports suggest Nashville had 500 or so, and some reports are suggesting that St Louis may have broke 1,000. In total, there were Tea Party protets in more than 40 cities across the country today.

As if this isn't good enough news... the fact that this is just the beginning of a new revolution makes it even better. Indeed, we're just getting started and there is much that needs to be done.

The DontGo Movement is excited to have played a role in the organizing efforts of the national Chicago Tea Party rallies, and we're ready to come out swinging. As many of you know, we're gearing up to launch an independent, grassroots minded news site in each of the 50 states at NewsPlatoon.com. We're also currently organizing state DontGo Movement Coalitions in all 50 states, and we're getting ready to launch a couple large scale eActivism efforts taylored to help continue the movement and help us maintain the level of online energy we currently see with the Tea Party events.

Our new network of 50 state coalitions goes live on Monday, but we decided to go ahead and send you an early invite. Please CLICK HERE to join the new network. Once logged in, make sure you join your state and get plugged in to your local network.

Building a "Citizen Intelligence Network" @ #dontgo

Fellow #dontgo Followers,

My name is Eric and I am the "director" of the #dontgo Movement at www.dontgomovement.com. I'm writing you to let you know about a pretty cool new network we're developing that we believe will help us find and expose corruption at all levels of Government.

And we need YOUR help getting it started. Please read on...

The Media Machine CANNOT Be Trusted, But We Can Trust Ourselves…..

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
WHAT IS REALLY GOING IN?

The #dontgo movement is taking Washington by storm. Inside sources tell us that even politicians who are pro free market and pro limited government, who want accountability and transparency, see this movement as highly effective but do not understand a bunch of people who are not INSIDE, and who do not answer to any of the “power players” could do what we have done.

What have we done?

We have played a key role, both online and, especially, on internet radio, in the dissemination of the information on the “guerilla congress” and the who, energy issue. We have EXPOSED the link between Pelosi and “Big Wind”, and we have galvanized thousands of people who are demanding answers from their political leaders!

Did you know that Nancy Pelosi has a VESTED INTEREST in NOT seeing an “all of the above” energy plan because she is an investor in the T. Boone Pickens Plan??

Did you know that the “GANG OF TEN” is seeking to push through an energy plan that is based on the global warming myth and that is being presented as something it is not (as being comprehensive when it is in fact limited)?

The truth is out there, but our politicians too often, especially if they are against limited government and free markets, can count on a media that mischaracterizes pro-free market and pro-limited government activists while blacking out any news that would wake people up to the truth.

We have a simple solution that you can participate in right now, a solution that will enable you to play a key role in helping to do an “end run” around the media machine that denies the people their right to have the truth presented to them, that does not hold ALL politicians accountable, and that is not a means of creating transparency in government.

We are creating an information network that will gather information, analyze and compare it in an intelligent manner from the perspective of the individual’s rights and interests, and that will present the truth LOCALLY to the general public through the internet and, as we proceed, other means.

When the media turns its guns on pro-free market and pro-limited government leaders and politicians or candidates we intend on turning our big guns on them, tracking their associations and words and those of their cronies in both parties. When the media ignores news that will show how foolish and harmful big government or even unfair business practices are for the rights and welfare of the People we will be able to expose that and get the truth out to the people.

This is not “irreducibly complex”, this is something you can do RIGHT NOW!!

Below you will see a description of our Information Network. Simply go to www.dontgomovement.com/forum and JOIN and then read our section ABOUT the information network and post in the INTRODUCTION board with your information and what you can do. You will be contacted via email by the person who oversees the area you wish to participate in and they will personally help you get started.

We are recruiting State Information Coordinators as well as State Information Committees to assist the Coordinators in keeping track of state delegations (House members and Senators) and Regional Information Coordinators.
