You’re invited!: Townhall Meetup, Chicago, Wednesday, November, 2009 (Second WEDNESDAY)
Topic: Alinsky for Dummies
Speaker: Joseph A. Morris
Please read Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky
Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals by Saul Alinsky is on many peoples’ minds these days. Examples include: ACORN, SEIU, Czars, the government’s demonization of opponents (both individual Americans and private enterprises), actors conducting illegitimate press conferences to forward the big and bigger government (less freedom) agenda, government officials illegally accessing private information of US citizens, voter intimidation, voter registration fraud, etc. Could all of this be an outgrowth of Saul Alinsky’s ideas? Come find out. Before you come, visit: www.nea.org/tools/17231.htm

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." - George Washington (1732 - 1799)
“How can limited government and fiscal restraint be equated with lack of compassion for the poor? How can a tax break that puts a little more money in the weekly paychecks of working people be seen as an attack on the needy? Since when do we in America believe that our society is made up of two diametrically opposed classes – one rich, one poor – both in a permanent state of conflict and neither side able to get ahead except at the expense of the other? Since when do we in America accept this alien and discredited theory of social and class warfare? Since when do we in America endorse the politics of envy and division.” – Ronald Reagan 1982 (pg. 197 in Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin - over 7 months on the New York Times Bestseller List, sshhhh, don’t tell anybody in the ostrich media)

We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name – liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names – liberty and tyranny.” – Abraham Lincoln 1864
Is there anyone less liberal than a “liberal” (aka statist) facing opposing opinion??? - anonymous

“ Joe Morris is an incredibly gifted speaker. Moreover, his insightful analysis of Saul Alinky's strategy, ethics, and tactics were penetrating and spot on. We got a rare opportunity to understand the person, their values and motivations. Joe was amazingly brilliant. ”
“ Joe Morris did an excellent job of outlining and discussing the key points in Alinksy's book and through reference, showing how what has and is happening with the Barack Obama team and administration is almost verbatim following Alinksy's attitude, approach, strategies and tactics. Joe's discussion provided significant insight about Alinksy's attitudes and tactics, thereby providing a resounding wake-up call to all meeting partcipants to study the opposition's methodologies and to give serious thought on how to prepare to counter their advances in any situation. A very well organized and and enlightening meeting! ”
