ALIPAC's Guide to Activism

An article you should find interesting if you'd like activism pointers! h/t www.alipac.us
Friends,
ALIPAC's online activism has been proven effective and at times quite legendary on the web. Prior to the recent malaise affecting some of our team members, we were known for getting the job done on the web and breaking new ground in the field of web activism. Please keep in mind that the illegal alien supporters have been studying ALIPAC closely for several years now because we helped hand them stunning defeats of their AMNESTY bills in 2006 and 2007.

Since that time they have invested millions and hired top minds in the fields of activism and web marketing. They have deployed their counter measures based off of their research and study of what many of you, or your predecessors, here at ALIPAC have done.
PLEASE REVIEW THIS TRAINING MATERIAL AND POST BELOW THAT YOU HAVE READ IT OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU RESPOND AND TAKE THIS INFORMATION TO HEART BECAUSE ONCE COMPILED HERE IN THE OPEN THE ENEMY HAS IT. THIS MEANS IF YOU DO NOT RESPOND WELL, WE HAVE JUST MADE A STRATEGIC MISTAKE BY COUNTING ON YOU TO RESPOND. Here are some basics:
For New ALIPAC Activists LEVEL 1 Goals: ALIPAC's primary goals are to educate the public and combine American activism and funds into focused efforts that achieve the goals of our platform.
Step 1: All ALIPAC Activists should begin by making sure they are on our e-mail alert list. While hundreds of activists participate here in the discussion groups where many of our best activists congregate, our real power is in the alert lists. Our alert lists can keep you be informed, familiarize you with our operations, and give you a chance to participate in our heavy hitting "focus campaigns." Please read each e-mail alert carefully and please respond to as many of the requests you receive as possible. Help is always here for you during email alert focus campaigns. WHILE THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF ACTIVISM GOING ON HERE IN THE DISCUSS GROUPS, AN EMAIL ALERT BLAST SHOULD BECOME YOUR TOP PRIORITY.

Step 2 Prioritize: ALIPAC wants our activist to be constantly involved in their own activism online and in their local communities. The battle against illegal immigration is far too complex and vast for our central organization to handle alone. An ALIPAC activist should seek a good blend between personal activism pursuits and ALIPAC's planned focus campaigns. However, please realize that when a call for help is posted in Announcements and/or goes out by e-mail, everyone is expected to orient on those goals. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT EVERYONE FOCUSES ON THE ALERTS WHEN CALLED AND THAT PROGRESS REPORTS, QUESTIONS, FEEDBACK, AND ENCOURAGEMENTS ARE POSTED IN THE WORKING THREADS.

Step 3 Walk vs. Talk, and getting the work done. As in most things in life, when the tough work comes around there are certain people that will be scarce. We have seen it a million times here at ALIPAC. Some people are all about talk, instead of the walk. ALIPAC is for the work horses, not the show horses. Power goes to those who show up. Influence goes to those who get the work done. It's not like ALIPAC asks people to get up and lift weights, carry boxes, or run around the block. Most of our requests involve a few dollars or a few minutes of time and short conversations and pushes of buttons. Is this really to much to ask of anyone to save our nation from what illegal immigration is doing to us? When the alerts are called, we need you to fall into formation, learn and know what to do, make posts in the open to show you and others you are responding to our requests. If you fail to muster behind our email alerts or just cherry pick the ones you really get excited about then our team is going to get clobbered and our win record is going to fall into complete disarray. It is fine to have everyone running around doing their own thing, but when the alerts are called we must fly in formation or the Open Borders Lobby is going to plow us under. Our opposition has vast amounts of money and influence. We have the numbers and favor of the public. Should our responsive numbers fall, we are lost and will lose terribly. The outcome depends on how many of you focus when called.

Step 4: Checking In We need more of our supporters to use, read, know, and utilize the information and resources they find here at ALIPAC. ALIPAC.us maintains the largest archive of information in existence. At a bare minimum, we want our supporters to check and read the homepage articles every few days, if not daily. We want people to discuss, forward, circulate, and post links into the materials we post on the homepage. If you have a little more time, please review the Discussion Groups announcements and polls section or the news section for more involvement. If you have the time and motivation, please explore our Discussion Groups area and consider becoming a core online activist who interacts with the ALIPAC website on a strong and regular basis.
These are our Level 1 "The Basics" activism suggestions for ALIPACers. Many of these will seem remedial to some of you, but please read and sign in here and we will proceed to Level 2 soon.
