The Groundswell, October 2011

The Carpe Diem Culture


This month I thought I'd take a detour from my usual writing on the political "military-industrial complex". I didn't feel like doing nuts-and-bolts campaign mechanics either. Something's been gnawing at the edges of my mind for a time, and I wanted to draw it out. So bear with me please.

Now, it's certainly no secret that most of us in America these days take for granted that social media is part of the very fabric of our life. Those of us in the conservative grassroots certainly realize and struggle to master the power of this relatively recent technology. The ability to amplify our voice, echo our message, to create our own personal "brand" and manage our image online has been a tremendous boon to the Tea Party movement among many others in the last few years. Not to mention what it's done for the ties of family or friendship, or even interpersonal relationships (think Match.com).

But do we really stop to think about the fundamental changes this new facet of communications has made to who we are at our core?

Looking to make a grassroots difference in this next election? Learn tips and techniques for getting your friends and neighbors on board with the message of the American Majority by visiting our resources page.

"Occupy Wall Street" might be trying to convince America that they belong to the "99%" but in this month's American Spectator, American Majority President Ned Ryun takes on the 80%: the majority of elected officials who just keep winning their seats, thus preserving the status quo. Has America created its own Ruling Class by tolerating the same leadership day in and day out? Is there any hope for a small band of rebels willing to think differently, to change the way business is done in DC, and to break the rules? Check out what we have to say!
