Please contact us so that we can work together!

I don't live in NY so my opinion does not matter but I agree with you. Well, done and planned rallies can work effectively but J6 is right in that you need at least a month to plan it carefully. Let's not fool ourselves, no matter how nice, educated and american we are, there is going to be a share of the conservative and liberal groups that are going to demonize us and a good percentage that believe it is true that we are demons. We are in a conflict. We want something and they do not want to give it to us. they might say they want to give it to us but it is a lie. they would give it to us if it cost them nothing to do the exchange. As a result, they rather give us nothing. There is not smooth or easy or bland way to do this. Only a collusion because we are at war. Everthing we say they can manipulate until it serves their own agenda. We have to be ready for that too.
