The strategy is two fold. (1) Promote patriotism by attending and/or hosting
patriotic events in the local communities where we live and (2) bring the maximum pressure to
bear on those that are unpatriotic, disrespect the American Flag, engage in destructive behavior (rioting & looting)
and promote a social ideology that is counter to the US Constitution and Bill-of-Rights.
For the “unPatriotic” ... this can be Individuals, Companies,
Sports Teams, Politicians, Schools/Universities and Political/Social Organizations.
The public exposure that goes with peaceful BroomsMen demonstrations and the
associated reporting by News Media can create a “consequence” to those
that seek to disrespect America and the values upon which it was founded.
If we do this right, we can create “good press” for the BroomsMen by attending
Patriotic Events and create “bad press” and a Social Media backlash against
organizations that are NOT patriotic or engage in destructive behavior.
We will use these actions to achieve our objectives.
A well planned peaceful protest can get media exposure that will bring attention to the issue.
A publicly announced boycott can force companies to change behavior. Hit them in the wallet.
Media exposure of pickets at Company Offices can encourage companies to change behavior.
Demonstration of support for historical monuments can stop radicals from attempting removal.
Vote them out. Conduct protest events against select Politicians. Expose unpatriotic politicians. Be relentless.
Show up and lend support to local groups that assist Veterans, Police Officers, Volunteer Fire Departments and other organizations that benefit the community.
Work to ensure that School Boards and the Education System does not indoctrinate our children with anti-American and unPatriotic concepts.
Promote “Made in America” manufacturers and products. The objective is to encourage US based manufacturing to the benefit of the American worker.
Promote “Free & Fair” verifiable election laws. Get involved as Precinct Workers, Poll Watchers and Election Officials to ensure fair elections.
The following examples are just SOME of the actions that we should challenge. If we stand by and do nothing, it is the same as saying it is “Ok”. Additional examples may be found HERE.
We have gone too far when we are renaming schools, changing the names of Mascots, changing the names of food products and more. There are even proposals to change gender designation of products ... such as male/female electrical plugs (I kid you not).
US Companies have closed/moved hundreds of plants to foreign countries and laid off thousands of US Workers. In most cases, these companies have moved manufacturing to China, Mexico and other countries instead of investing in the USA. We should call out these companies and promote the “Made in America” brand.
There is a time/place for protests and political agendas. But disrespecting the American Flag is NOT the appropriate way to do it. We should consider Picketing the corporate offices of Sports Teams, boycotting games, boycotting “television sponsors” that advertise when games are broadcast and more. In addition, we should find out what companies have purchased the “Sky Boxes” at the stadiums and picket them for supporting “unpatriotic” players and Teams. Hitting these offenders in the wallet will get their attention.
History is history. Some may not like it, but that
does not mean we pretend it didn't happen. In the course of the last 50,000
years humans have engaged in wars of conquest and slavery. Slavery ended
only 150 years ago. So, for most of human history, slavery was accepted.
Slavery was not confined to Africa, it was worldwide, across all societies.
Most people today, if you could trace your past back far enough you
would likely find that at some point, your descendants were either
slaves or slave owners (or both).
Perhaps they were Roman Slaves or Egyption Slaves or Greek Slaves or Viking
Slaves or Chinese Slaves and so on. African Tribes had slaves from other
African tribes that they defeated in battle. If your descendants were
ever on the losing side of a war ... then they may have been slaves at some
point because the winners either killed the losers, took them as
slaves or sold them as slaves. That is just how it was.
We
have current Politicians that want to remove all statues of anyone associated
with slavery in America. There are proposals made by
some radical politicians to remove statues of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln
and others. We need to stop this.
Over 150 years ago, America went through a Civil War. There are elements of our society that want to pretend it never happened and to remove traces of our past. Although it may have been a "dark chapter" in American History, we should not destroy our historical past, it is part of who we are as a nation.
Look at any History Book being used in our current schools. Most portray America in a “bad light” and/or teach a biased world view. We should challenge school districts (and local politicians) to teach a fair and non-biased curriculum.
Several cities/states have initiatives to restrict the rights of citizens to gun ownership. Whether it is firearm registration, “Red Flag Laws”, magazine/clip size restrictions, ammunition purchases or Gun Show sales ... all of these actions seek to slowly erode the 2nd Amendment Rights of citizens. If we don't push back on these initiatives, one day we will find that we have lost our Rights.
When possible we should take actions to protect property, business and historical monuments from damage by rioting and looting. In some areas the Police are overwhelmed or instructed to “stand down” when rioting and looting is taking place. We should attempt to assist local business owners in protecting their property and livelihood.
Part of the responsibility of a BroomsMen is to identify groups, politicians and individuals that seek to destroy the fabric of the nation and challenge them at every turn.
