5 People

We all know people who are absolutely, positively not educated in the political arena.  Most of these people are apathetic or worse yet, know just enough about a subject to be dangerous.

Here is what I have experienced with most people when it comes to a historical and individual understanding of government:

1. They typically rely on a snapshot of the three major media outlets for their entire political understanding.
2. They typically have no idea what the United States Constitution really says or means.
3. They typically have no idea how the founding fathers created this free nation much less why!
4. They typically make decisions based entirely on emotions and the thought of “doing good for the whole.”
5. Often, they carry some type of injustice / resentment toward an establishment or toward people who are more successful than themselves.

When you consider the five ideas above, consider these videos:

Chris Matthews on ANAYLIS – only a CHILL – ZERO FACTS – ONLY FEELINGS!!!

Obama to pay Peggy’s mortgage because she is going to help him.

Obama to get Julio more just because he has worked at McDonalds a few year and THINKS he needs more.

None of this is constitutionally based thought or mindset, it is all EMOTIONS!

Be aware --- there are really people that think like this!

Again – our founders would be vomiting blood if they heard this!!

So… to start an effective change process at the grassroots level, you must meet these people where they are… lost.

My challenge to each of you is very simple – identify 5 – only 5 people that need a more in-depth understanding history and the government.  Target people who:

1. Are likely to vote.
2. Are likely to read.
3. Are willing to accept a challenge to their belief structures.
4. Are willing to become educated on a topic.

I have identified my 5, and I encourage you to identify yours.

More on what to with them later….

Until we meet again, may God bless you and may God bless the United States of America.
