On the Whole Foods “Buycott” in St. Louis

2nd September 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

via thedanashow.wordpress.com
As some of you may know, liberals are boycotting Whole Foods because the CEO and co-founder came out against a government-takeover of health care. Conservatives are leading “buycotts” to support the store for taking an unpopular position. The video here, posted by Dana Loesch, is raw footage from one such buycott.

Skeptic Joins the Town Hall Train: Providing a Backbone for the Good Guys

12th August 2009 by Catherine Favazza 1 Comment

Protests and the conservative message are an unnatural pair. As I heard someone joke at a conference years ago: What do we want? Gradual change! When do we want it? In due course! In fact, that’s a great case against the idea that the momentum at town hall meetings, where folks who want limited government [...]

Who’s Manufacturing the Angry Mob Now?

10th August 2009 by Catherine Favazza 5 Comments

On Friday, I created a video about the so-called angry mob of protesters who are against a government-takeover of the health care industry. I mentioned in that post and would like to reiterate that violence did not start happening at these town hall events until organized members of union groups started showing up and bullying [...]

VIDEO: Are You The Mob? Update: The Left Responds to Anger with Violence

7th August 2009 by Catherine Favazza 6 Comments

Writing off average citizens with legitimate concerns as members of an “angry mob” is offensive to those who are just living their lives and worried about the future for their family and business, as Dana Loesch pointed out last night on Greta Van Susteren. It’s been said over and over again, but these people are [...]

A great (and often untapped) resource available to conservatives is local free market think tanks. The State Policy Network has a full list of conservative think tanks in every state, each with loads of research that’s ripe for the picking for activists, bloggers and otherwise concerned voters. Use their map to identify your state’s think [...]

Why I’m a Smart Girl and You Should Be, Too

17th April 2009 by Catherine Favazza Comments Off

Maybe you went to a tea party on tax day earlier this week. Maybe–like me–it’s not really your thing to protest, but you are still worried about the country’s growing and unsustainable debt. You’re wondering what you can do to get involved.
Sure, the growing number of people getting online to receive and share information is [...]

Catholic U. College Republicans Take Tea Party Movement Door-to-Door

16th April 2009 by Megan Herring 1 Comment

What some might find an oddity was a true reality on a college campus this year’s Tax Day: a group of conservative students standing up against an increasingly powerful government and its out-of-control spending. With tea parties going on all over the country yesterday, Catholic University of America’s (CUA) chapter of College Republicans decided to [...]

Over 200 years later and we still have the same thing to say…

14th April 2009 by Kirsten Wright 4 Comments

As I sit at my desk and think about tomorrow, I can’t help but remember back to elementary school. I recall reading about the original Boston Tea Party, thinking how amazing it was that those men and women stood up for what they believed in. Now, just 24 hours before the 2nd national tea party, [...]
