Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Chris and Brenda
I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has signed onto this project: THANK YOU!
And say that I hope that you and yours are doing ok.
I want to thank our publisher OpEdNews. And we want to thank you the votestriker, you've wrote articles, passed out flyers, made videos, edited my articles, sent in great strike ideas, went on strike, posted the strike in forums and on blogs, webs, even on EBAY, and Craigslist, etc.
When I started VoteStrike.com it was just to help Brenda with her issues (you can read about here http://votestrike.com/about_us )
Everyone who wrote into the site told me that my idea for a vote strike was a stupid idea and that what we needed was a general strike. Something that I was actually against at first. But then I researched it and published my research here- http://votestrike.com/a_history_of_strikes and here- http://www.votestrike.com/strikes_an_american_tradition as well as several articles on the Solidarity movement in Poland published at OpEdNews. Our research also uncovered something we haven't published- several groups and individuals had also tried to call for a massive general strike in the US during Bush's second term, the most successful and widely published was the 9/11/07 general strike which also failed miserably.
I've since published our latest research and discovery of a blueprint left by the founding fathers and Ghandi on how to dismantle corrupt governments here-

While our physical strikes have been unnoticed our bank boycott has had a tremendous effect. And again I need to thank a vote striker for sending it in -as soon as we published it other groups and individuals emailed us telling us how they'd copy and pass it around and what a great idea it was (published here-

Currently, I'm following the blueprint through publishing and boycotts. Brenda was confused by my strategy so I wanted to take a moment to explain myself...I'm not an issue whore but I believe that all of the problems that we face as a nation stem from one problem and there is but one solution. Let me explain, Ive heard it called the NWO (New World Order), the one world government, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderburgs, I've also spoken about 'career politicians' and lobbyist but it's all the same to me- wether your problem is with the school system, our drug laws, our border problems, the bailouts, FISA, rigged elections, warcrimes, whatever- the solution- is to return to the Constitution for all of those problems. How? Eliminate 1. career politicians and 2. lobbyist. Politicians were to be servants of the people true but were suppose to come from the people do the peoples business for no personal gain and then return to their profession. Simply put- the government would return to doing the business of the people as opposed to the business of the corporations as it is now. Forget about 'Term Limits' because no one is re-elected because no-one can run again.
LIBERTY MEANS WE ARE FREE. That means that abortion can't be legal one day and illegal the next, go fast go slow, one says taxes are good the other says no no their bad, that's not freedom!
Let me get off of my soap box and just explain that all problems are connected and created by a few greedy individuals who start wars, recessions, plagues and depressions just for money. They know damn well what their products cause but they don't care AS LONG AS YOUR STILL BUYIN'.
Back to you. There is another anti war rally coming to DC March 19th 2009, I'd like to get protest going in every city on the same day ARE YOU GUYS UP TO WRITING TO YOUR GROUPS and asking them about holding a rally or march in their area (March 13-19 2009) and I'll promote it and send vote strikers who live in that area-
We are planning rallies across the country/globe, but as I said- we are not ready. We are creating a system something like 'the letters of correspondence' used by Adams published at http://www.votestrike.org BUT I NEVER INTENDED to create and run a global organization. I have recently stopped promoting the main site votestrike.com because many people do already and it is at the top of every search engine, and I'd like to start promoting http://votestrike.ning.com and http://votestrike.sosblog.com because we have the ability on those sites to communicate with each other and I can post daily and so can you as well as messages, comments, forums, etc. BUT SO FAR NEITHER SITE HAS TAKEN OFF
We are also working on two new websites, still under construction. Send us any ideas, suggestions, thoughts, etc.
Any thoughts on how we can organize the largest demonstration ever??????
How many of you are on Twitter? Facebook? Digg?
YOUR STRIKE IDEA HAS CAUGHT ON LIKE A VIRUS AND THERE'S NO STOPPING IT.
Thanks again everybody and merry merry xmas.
