Help beta test our new "Conservative Roundup" application!
We're launching a new online game/application for Facebook to make it easy for conservatives to help identify and "roundup" other fellow conservatives. It's called "Conservative Roundup" - and we need your help to test it out!
Just CLICK HERE and it will take you straight to the app. Click the login button and give permission to Facebook and you're in! Then help us kick the tires.
As I mentioned, it's a "beta test" for version 1.0. Our design team is making improvements to it each evening, and will continue to do so as you help us identify any needed fixes, or any good suggestions you may have for useful improvements that could be made.
We'll update you on the progress as we go, but in the meantime...
New OccupyTruth.net site makes it easy to get out the truth on the occupy crowd
For the past several months, liberal mobs have been on a glorified camping trip, "occupying" various public spaces and raging against, well, they're really not sure about "what", but pretty much anything that looks like America.
Throughout the media's coverage of these "protests", (versus their coverage of the Tea Party), there hasn't been very much real information about these people, what they're about and what they're up to.
That's why we set up a site dedicated to the facts: OccupyTruth.net
You can help spread the truth about the Occupy "movement" by posting any of the dozens of messages on Twitter or Facebook. We also will maintain links to places with even more information to make sure people have easy access to the facts.

Video: Occuply LA speaker says violence may be needed to acheive their goals
While it shouldn't surprise anyone that liberals feel this way, it is sometimes a little bit surprising to have any of them screw up and validate what conservatives have said all along about their goals.
This video of a speaker at an Occupy LA rally says it all:
Surprise: even fake Russian drug dealers can get Medicaid!
latest O'Keefe investigation
Conservative investigative journalist James O'Keefe is out with his latest undercover expose of a liberal sacred cow - in this case, Medicaid. What he uncovers should shock everyone...but probably won't.
Via Project Veritas:
The first investigation released focuses on four Medicaid offices in Ohio. The undercover reporters intimate that they are drug dealers, drive expensive cars, and possess incredible wealth. At no time did the case workers ask the reporters to leave. Even though the reporters admit to making their living through drug dealing or facilitating child prostitution, the case workers never called the police, Child Protective Services or the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In fact, the case workers appear eager to assist the reporters in filling out the necessary Medicaid paperwork.
Sounds about right.
His first video is below. And, if his past practice is any indication, it's sure to be followed by several more...just after liberals or government bureaucrats claim this was an "isolated incident".
Enjoy. And pass it on!
Outpost 2012 GOP presidential survey results - round one
About a month ago we promoted the first round of what will be an ongoing effort to survey grassroots conservatives on the 2012 GOP nomination contest...and the first results are in!
The survey asked the following questions:
- Who is your FIRST choice for President in 2012?
- Who is your SECOND choice?
- Who are you LEAST ENTHUSIASTIC about?
- Do you support or consider yourself part of the Tea Party movement?
- How do you categorize yourself? (what type of conservative)
Given how many names were in the mix (and sort of still are), it's not surprise that things were spread out a good bit. And given that our survey is being promoted to over 200,000 grassroots conservative activists, (over 3,000 of which have participated so far), it's no surprise that it skews in a very conservative direction.
With that, on to the results!

As you can see, Herman Cain did very well, no doubt due to his showing in the earlier debates, and Palin does really well for someone who's not yet in the race. Of course Mitt does well due to name ID and being pretty much the "runner up" from 2008...along with Ron Paul and his hard core support among the psudo-libertarians among us. The other thing to note is that support is pretty well scattered among several of the different "more conservative" candidates (or potential candidates in some cases).
Also note that "someone else" beat out Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Jon Huntsman. read more »
The Recovery Summer is one year old (are you better off?)
Up in smoke...
It's been a year now since the Obama administration proclaimed the "Recovery Summer" (or, the Summer of Love for what "The One" is doing for the economy).
So how'd all that work out? Well, unless you're a government employee, not too good.
American Job Creators has a great video out which pretty well get's the point across. Enjoy - and feel free to share...

Time for a balanced budget amendment
Fellow conservatives,
Members of Congress are currently debating whether or not to allow our country to legally go deeper in debt - and they need to hear from you.
Soon the federal government will reach its current legal debt limit of 14.3 trillion dollars, and the only way it can stay open is if Congress raises that limit.
Currently, many conservative members of Congress, such as Senators Jim DeMint, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Mike Lee, are demanding that Congress approve a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution before any extension of the debt limit.
They need our support!
In order to pass a Constitutional Amendment, it must pass BOTH houses of Congress by a 2/3's vote before it is sent on to the states for ratification.
There is little doubt that the states would approve such an amendment - but it has to get past Congress first! read more »
Grassroots 101: 5 grassroots tools to use for local precinct organization
As we all know, there's a lot out there to complain about. But if you plan to "do" something about it, rather than just complain, be sure to go about it in such a way as to have the greatest impact.
Here’s a handy list of the most basic tools you should have at your disposal if you’re going to try and build an organization at the precinct/local level that can truly have an impact on the things you care about.
A list of all registered voters in your precinct.
It’s hard to identify and organize if you don’t know who the registered voters are, (or aren’t). You can get this from your local election (or voter registration) board.
Blank voter registration forms.
For all those new people you’re going to register. Because if people aren’t registered, they can’t vote…and don’t count.
A map of the precinct.
Having a map makes it easier to get an idea of who is where and how to get to them. You should be able to get this from your local planning commission or voter registration office, (or they will know where). Try to get one with street lines and names overlaid on it.
A political events calendar.
Keep track of dates of party primaries, general elections, special elections, school board, local council and local political party meetings that you should keep people informed about.
Copies of church directories.
Having membership lists from conservative churches will allow you to cross-reference them with voter registration lists. That way, you know which registered voters go to conservative churches…and which members aren’t yet registered to vote, (so you can get them registered). read more »
