2.Point out to all the local municipalies how much money is sitting in untaxed church real estate...there is a movement starting to get these local taxing authorities to start taxing these palaces.. how? by showing them that other localities are doing it and showing them how to start..money for roads, child care, latch key programs.. all sitting there waiting to be used for good "CHRISTIAN VALUES" projects.. .. if you start taxing the beast, they will have to fight back at a grass roots level, depleting their strenght. 527's running commericals of children who need day care, or housing, and showing the church sitting on untapped municipal revuenues. Bad press for the churches. Wouldn't Jesus support taxes on the churches to pay for social programs?
3. Encourage all Democracts in Congress to push for a balanced budget amendment. If it passes with the help of fiscally conservative Republicans, once again we will be starving the beast as they will have to cut some of their programs. This has to be done no matter what, so let it happen on their watch. The Dems can tout they are the fiscal conservatives in the 2006 midterms..The current administration will have to take the blame for actually balancing it. If they vote against a Balanced budget amentment, we have ammo in 2006..
4.The Red states are the " have not" states... meaning the blue states give
more into the treausry then take, and the red states take.... farm subsidies, tobacco subsidies... get bills in Congress to cut all these subsidies. The states should have to fund them.. ( mostly red states) When
their tax bills go up at the local levels, they will want change.
5. Encourage more states rights initiatives.... California just passed a
stem cell bill. Why cant California, NY and others adopt the Kyoto principles through propostitions?...
6. We just have to think differently. Come in the back door. When they try
to pass the same Sex mariage amendment, besides fighing it head on, we should add things to the bill to make it more restrictive... so restrictive it wouldnt pass in state legislatures... for example.... since they are
defining Marriage as a man and woman, because thats how God wanted it, then
also put in the bill that" tradional" marriage forbids divorce. So all divorces will not be allowed. . How many people would support that in the US?If we are going to have "moral laws
acording to God," then lets go all the way. (alienating more and more people) if they arent willing to add it, then they are hypocites and need to be exposed as such.
7. Everyone should register as a church. You are a minister now, tending to your flock. That means you are tax exempt. We all need to become churches. Relgion and values are the key words... let's use the umbrella of thosewords to forward our agendas..
These are all just thoughts right now, but everyone needs to not be down and adjust to thjis new paradigm for a bit, and we need to help quesition, stall and pasive resist it any way we can. The Europeans have seen what has happened as well as the Canadians. Letter writing campaigns to encourage them to drag
their feet with the US woud probably help. Canada had mad cow disease last year. We have mad Cowboy disease.
Turn off the TV... you are getting upset from being saturated wtih news that
makes your blood boil. If you need news, go to Yahoo or some other internet
site. Its the same news, but you dont have to listen to the talking heads hour after hour. The media is shocked, as we are. You can see it in the way they are talking about the election. They have as much to loose as we do. If
their shows get censored, 50 % of the populace wont watch, and advertisers
will back out. SInclair Broadcasting taught us the power of the internet and selected boycotts.
We also need to get very vocal that " morals" are religious concepts, and they should not be legislated as such. The problem we face now is the church and government are now one. If you attack the government, we are terrorists.
So we must attack the churches at their vulnerable points. Molestation and the church is the best way to hit the theocrats. They are vulnerable on this issue. We really need to insist that any church that had a priest or pastor caught diddling the kids should loose their tax exempt status. The church should have screened their pastors first, and must pay punitive damages. Why should our society give tax breaks to child molesting instituitons? That is not Christian Values. This will create chaos amongst their ranks..... tax breaks associated with child sex...it would make great press dont you think? Can you imagine the clerics trying to argue they SHOULDNT loose their tax breaks for diddling the kids? Once we crack open the belief that Tax exempt Churches are a God Given right, and show localities how much untaxed revenue is sitting on top of those crosses, the waters behind the dam will flow forth.
Everyone needs to read the Scarlet Letter. This is some insight into what we
will be up against. Know thine enemy!
Hang in there, stay tuned, this has just started. If we surrender we condone
it.
Welcome to Jesusland.
