Why come out for a Rally at the Capitol?
Since we have been forced into a primary (not a convention), we are again faced with challenging the "well-known establishment candidate". It is the weapon the Ruling Class has successfully used to remain in power for years. Challengers to the establishment have the problem of getting themselves known to the general voting public that do not keep abreast of politics until just before elections – a fact that is both real and troubling.
How do we activists shake up the status quo and change the dynamics? By using the media (both friendly and unfriendly) to get an alternative message out to those who would normally not be paying attention. The Media Establishment knows this. That is why they have decided 6 months prior to the actual vote to restrict their debate to their establishment candidates. Make no mistake! They know what they are doing!! So we must use their tactics to fight back.
Our goal must be to make the every-day Joe and Joette take note and listen now before the die is cast by the Establishment. George Allen and the Media Establishment have both given us that opportunity. Let's capitalize on it. Blog, write news releases, pump up your groups with real facts and then join us in Richmond to show we are paying attention and that the establishment is not driving the bus.
We will make sure the Media will be covering our rally. How could they not? This sort of contention is just what they are looking for so we need a strong showing to let them know we mean business.
We have three issues to rally for:
1. The AP deciding our candidates – both Republican and Democrat – let's let them know how we feel about that
2. George Allen claiming he has Tea Party Patriot support with a misleading news release
3. Assist the Richmond Tea Party in their struggle for "equal justice under the law" as they shine the light on the decision by Richmond Mayor D. C. Jones to audit them
If not now, when? If not us, who? Let's show the establishment that business as usual is no longer business as usual. You can make a difference.

I hope to see many of you there on Pearl Harbor Day. Let's make this a day the establishment remembers for a long time.
