Unite or Perish: How To Become A Force Multiplier 2.0

I want to tell you, Socialists, that I have studied your philosophy; read your works upon economics, and
not the meanest of them; studied your standard works, both in English and Germanhave not only read, but studied them. I know, too, what you have up your sleeve. And I want to say that I am entirely at variance with your philosophy. I declare to you, I am not only at variance with your doctrines, but with your philosophy. Economically, you are unsound; socially, you are wrong; industrially, you are an impossibility.

A force multiplier is a military term referring to a factor that dramatically increases (hence, "multiplies") the combat-effectiveness of a given military force. Sometimes this factor may apply more or less under different circumstances.

The Greek Phalanx

Sometime in the middle of the 7th century bc, a new style of warfare appeared in ancient Greece, requiring a foot soldier to forsake acts of individual valor in favor of standing shoulder-toshoulder with his comrades in a battle square. This square, called a phalanx, distinguished itself from other heavy infantry formations in the Near East in that it would evolve into a wellarticulated tactical system capable of decisive offensive tactical mobility.

In the past, we geared up in an election year and then the year after, dismantled. Now, were trying to get AFL-CIO on a continuous campaign fervor.
Richard Trumka AFL-CIO President Nov. 12, 2009
President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong.
James P. Hoffa Teamsters President Sept. 4, 2011
If The Archangel Michael Were On The Ballot, Beelzebub Would Still Have Won
The Swing State Strategy:

We did deliver those states, said Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, the federation of labor unions. Without organized labor, none of those would have been in the presidents column.
A sampling of what unions did

The SEIU put 100,000 volunteers on the ground in swing states. AFSCME put 65,000 members into action The National Education Association claimed to have 175,000 working the campaign
Ohio alone, which is increasingly likely to determine the outcome of the presidential race, has nearly 3,500 educator volunteers in 87 of the states 88 counties.

The Circular Firing Squad
Ryan blames Republican election loss on poor communication, turnout

Reuters - Ending a self-imposed silence about the November election, 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan said on Wednesday that he and presidential running mate Mitt Romney lost not because of ideas, but due to ineffective communication. Ryan said Democratic President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden also prevailed because they did a better job with "technology and (voter) turnout."
"We have to learn that," said Ryan, chairman of the House of Representatives Budget Committee. "We have to fix that."

Most of todays union members went to work for employers that had already been unionized before the employee hired on. The majority of union members live in states that give unions the ability to negotiate contracts requiring payments to the union as a condition of employment. If the employee refuses to pay, the union can order the employee to be fired.

#5: Unions are the Boots & Purse Strings for the Left
Modernizing the nations labor law is critical to expanding union membershipwhich in turn, will ensure conservatives become a permanent minority, as newly-empowered workers actively engage in political action and demand a new way of doing the nations business, like creating an economy that rewards Main Street and not just Wall Street. The freedom to form unions and bargain is critical to the progressive movementwhen workers have the tools they need to build a better life, they have the power to improve their communities and the solidarity to make progressive political change throughout the nation.

The Democracy Initiative

A month after President Barack Obama won reelection, top brass from three dozen of the most powerful groups in liberal politics met at the headquarters of the National Education Association (NEA), a few blocks north of the White House. Brought together by the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Communication Workers of America (CWA), and the NAACP, the meeting was invite-only and off-the-record. Despite all the Democratic wins in November, a sense of outrage filled the room as labor officials, environmentalists, civil rights activists, immigration reformers, and a panoply of other progressive leaders discussed the challenges facing the left and what to do to beat back the deep-pocketed conservative movement.

OFA 2.0: Organizing for Action

Barack Obamas campaign organization, Obama for America, will relaunch this
Sunday into a nonprofit organization that will work to mobilize support for his policies. The new group, Organizing for Action, will relaunch in its new form just as the president begins his second term. Obama wrote. Organizing for Action will be a permanent commitment to this mission. He highlighted immigration reform, climate change, gun violence, and the Affordable Care Acts implementation as key issues, along with growing the economy from the middle out and pursuing balanced deficit reduction. The president has the most exciting campaign apparatus ever built. Its time to turn that loose, Gibbs said. Its time to turn that loose for something more than just an election. If the NRAs got a list, then Obama for America has a bigger list. Source: MSNBC, 1/18/2013

Alinskys Power Tactics

1. "Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have." 2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people. When an action or tactic is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear and retreat.... [and] the collapse of communication. 3. "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.) 4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity." 5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage." 6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
Alinskys Power Tactics

7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time...." 8. "Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose." 9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself." 10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign." 11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside... every positive has its negative." 12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative." 13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Dont be afraid to go into enemy territory Expose the Left for who they arein their own words Be open about your secrets Dont let the Complex use its PC lexicon to characterize you and shape the narrative Control your own storyDont let the Complex do it Engage in the social arena Dont pretend to know more than you do Dont let them pretend to know more than they do Ridicule is mans most potent weapon Truth isnt mean.

Precinct committeemen are the card-carrying members of a

Over half of the precinct committeemen slots are vacant in both of If conservatives fill up all of the precinct committeemen slots in
