Part II: How To Win The Cause

Commentary by Xelan Bonn, MBA (What follows are my personal opinions and not the official position of the PUA). Feedback: xelanbonn@patriotunion.org

( Part I - Part II - Part III)

In Part I we discussed where the immigration, open border cause was and why and what we are up against as patriots fighting for America. Here, I will offer some of my insight and expertise as to what is needed to win and how to proceed.

Before I begin (you might want to read my personal qualifications first), allow me to say there are plenty of very savvy people out there who could certainly show me many things in the grass roots change industry. However, I remain sickened by the realization that those who have been in these industries for much longer than I have and who are leaders of major organs fighting felony immigration and terrorist friendly border causes are clearly very shallow in their knowledge and understanding of grass roots change systems, or what is needed to win or how to fashion effective plans and strategies, or how to execute them. 

Not one leader of any of the major groups or coalitions has demonstrated more than an estimated 40% competency level across the spectrum of total competencies needed to succeed and ensure a final victory. This is extremely troublesome given the fact that in poll after poll across the US by qualified pollsters, roughly 75% of the entire US population stands with our cause--and yet these so called major organ leaders have never tapped into this valuable resource and have never ensured a permanent victory--even after 5 years or more of being in operations when just 6-12 months was enough--why?

The answers can only fall into these categories. The leaders of the top organs are either:

1. Incompetent or unqualified completely to be leaders of grass roots change organs, lacking the proper knowledge or education or both required to manage organs of effective grass roots change systems. 
2. Partially competent with some of the tool sets and execution of  grass roots change systems (i.e. mounting online Faxing campaigns, lobbying, etc.) but wholly unknowledgeable or incompetent or uneducated to vast remaining pool of tool sets available and needed to ensure success. And if knowledgeable, they unable to effectively execute such systems.
3. Unwilling to work for the cause but quietly preferring to work for self-gain and enterprise - they are not genuinely interested in the political outcome but in other gains, such as monetary rewards.
4. Or are agent provocateurs, set-up to gather then channel large numbers of voter-supporters and their collective grass roots energy and donations and keep it away from true grass change organs - to fragment and weaken the cause while secretly aiding the opposition's camp.

It is my opinion, within the framework of all the major groups fighting for this cause (supposedly), we probably have at least one major group in each of these categories listed. I'll let the voter-supporters figure out which ones for themselves. What is important to recognize is that it is time for change and new leadership if this cause is to succeed.

Today, I stand terrified and that the coming America will be appalling to most US citizens in a very short time. We are standing on the eve of a bitter unconstitutional amnesty defeat (as I showed in Part I), which will greatly progress the forming of the North American Union and dismantling of the United States and our democracy. My  research on these issues convinces me that we, as nation of concerned citizens, must come together now if we want even a small chance at stopping the fall of America.

Toward stopping it, I thought I would offer up what little bit of insight and wisdom I have gained and give it to others, that they might go out and do the right thing and champion our cause and help America. I am hopeful, but not overly enthused, for our chances of success. 

However, if we can stop amnesty and secure the borders, we will have placed a major dent in the North American Union advance, and we still have time to win that larger war but we must act now - and in unison.

Moving Forward

Allow me to say the are many paths to success, and when one path doesn't offer fruit, change your tactics until you find the fruit.

We will never move forward by using the same leadership and supporting the same major groups that we have in the past. What is needed is a brand new coalition, professionally managed, with qualified leadership able to move smaller groups and voter-supporters into a larger, cohesive team with lockstep precision using professional standards. And it needs to be constituted within a few months, not years.

Remember, all the major groups leading this cause have been around at least 4 years or more and not one is moving at 1/4 steam ahead - not even close - amateur hour is the word for the leadership in all of them (and I am very unhappy to have to report that, believe me). If not, then how come within their first year of operations, or the second year at the most, they have not accomplished or fulfill all operational competencies for creating and implementing effective grass roots change systems? (see Part I for a list of questions)

New Coalition

What is needed now is to quickly form a fresh, new, major organization that is operated by people with professional level skills and experience in the proper job slots, from the leadership down to the supervisors, that know how to get the most out of scarce resources, volunteers and supporters. A new coalition that carries no old political baggage and can build and protect its own reputation of integrity while progressing the cause with a strong offensive - a group that can be admired and respected by the public, press, and Congress.

Funding

With a professional organization set-up and proper planning or other groundwork in place, the road to collecting major funding quickly opens up. Funding is the lifeblood of grass roots change systems and virtually every current leader has proven themselves exceptionally terrible at laying down proper foundations  so necessary to achieving local to national fund raising success. Grass roots change requires both volunteers and funding to be successful. 

There may be a variety of reasons why donations for many groups are down, from the economy to gas and so on, but the bottom line is that current organ leaders are largely incompetent with fund raising planning and execution using traditional, proven systems. There is no reason why $10 million or much more in funding can not be raised for this cause within just a few short months if the coalition uses a well planned and coordinated effort.

Professional Spokespersons

Once the coalition has a reasonable amount of foundational work established as well as some funds, the coalition needs a variety of specialists to act as professional spokespersons under a well planned public relations campaign. They must be marshaled regularly, with a consistent message designed to press public opinion making and massage the national news media as well as law makers.

Grass Root Change Lifeblood - Public Demonstrations

With all such systems in place, the coalition then needs to plan and promote major public demonstrations. It needs to recruit millions of new voter-supporters to its ranks and get a fair percentage of them mobilized and into the streets marching in peaceful, well organized demonstrations. 

Demonstrations are the lifeblood of grass roots change systems, for they display the public's upset with lawmakers, and most importantly, attract the mainstream news media, which in turn attracts more voter support for the cause - and in turn increases pressure on lawmakers to comply with demands.

Grass roots change works best when large numbers of people take their message to the streets in public display consistently until they pressure the news media and lawmakers to act. Those groups that do it well generally win, and those that do not, usually lose. 

Given the fact the opposition has millions of followers willing to march, and has conducted several large scale marches while commanding the national news media from day one, our side has been outclassed and outdone. This needs to change.

Written List Of Demands - Preferably A Bill Proposal

There is no sense marching and complaining if no end result has been articulated strongly and in writing for all to see and clearly understand. The coalition must know what it is fighting for and the end results desired. For example, if the laws are not being enforced, then a new bill is needed to make is a severe penalty to those in law enforcement or sanctuary cities, etc. to not enforce the law ( i.e. the removal of all their federal funding, the arrest and prosecution or key personnel for failing to comply, etc.).

Only concrete, written demands can be translated into the desired political change being sought - or preventing harmful actions by law makers in the future. 

Such demands might also include bills that prevent new laws from being enacted. For example, amnesty for 12-20 million felony immigrants would not only be unconstitutional and harmful to US citizens, but it can still be enacted into law anyway and only a new bill designed to prevent that from occurring can stop it from occurring.

The bottom line is all grass roots movement need a goal and the objectives to reach that goal. This movement in particular needs a goal that will secure a comprehensive victory and quit allowing the issues to linger and be manipulated by anti-Americans.

Professional Management And Operations

With a professionally managed and lead coalition operated by a true, professional leader and mangers that understand grass roots change systems and how to implement them effectively, a full and permanent victory is achievable and within reach in a relative short amount of time. We know that over 75% of all Americans want strong enforcement of our immigration laws, our borders secure, and the end to efforts to build a North American Union or end to close ties to Mexico. All that must be done is to effectively tap into this voter resource - something all our current leaders have dramatically failed to do.

Challenge

I challenge every patriotic American to rethink the past and then drop it toward standing up for the future. 

Regardless of your individual stance and beliefs, the only way a major victory of any kind can be lodged at this late date, with such forces and odds stacked dramatically against us, is if those currently in the cause drop their own petty differences toward aiding the greater good - we must come together - for nothing will taste so bitter as defeat if we continue to stand alone.

The Cause

This is a magnificently worthy cause - for the consequences of failure will be dramatic. It is a tremendous undertaking, yet it remains not a cause about individuals, but a cause much larger than ourselves. It is a cause to save America, our standard of living, our democracy and rule-of-law, and most of all our respect and sovereignty - and every patriot Americans owes this cause its unconditional aid and assistance - it is a modern day call to arms (figuratively speaking)!

Please Research And Learn The Facts Before You Deny The Cause

Take the time to really examine the big picture with cold eyes and see that victory is not a given. Use the Internet to gather your intelligence and create profiles of both camps - the opposition's and ours and see for yourself these things I speak about. 

Examine the big political picture not by listening to others or dwelling on past success (which, by the way, are no assurances of future successes), but by conducting your own research and making your own big picture profile of the political landscapes. You, too, will quickly realize that the mother of all battles is nearly upon us and that the opposition's strength is vastly superior in numbers, professionalism, volunteers, marchers, funding, and even political clout and aid from Congress - and much more!

Contrast that hard reality with our collective resources and battle strengths. See how weak we really are and how much sense it makes to overcome that weakness by rethinking our past and moving toward a different future. We must reconstitute our forces and leverage our resources to ensure our own victory by working together instead of apart.

If my assessment is right, then by the time most supporters and group leaders realize I am right, it will be far too late to do anything to stop the defeat. However, if we acknowledge there is at least a remote possibility I am correct in my assessments, and we act with prudent steps to team up, then whether the mother of all attacks comes or not, we will be ready and we will stand a fighting chance. And if we were well prepared for nothing, then so be it!

And remember this... once the amnesty wins, there will be no reason for your group to exist - it is going to be dismantled win or lose in this fight, which should be over very soon. The choice is, will you leave the battlefield as victor or a loser - continue to stand alone and your fate is already sealed.

Or stand together and renew hope for all and enjoy yourself taking the battle to the enemy's court for a change - for nothing will ever taste as sweet as victory!

Stand together - win together! Save America! For our kids!
