The RR Plan for Ohio
These people are positively emboldened!

I swear these Dominionists are nothing short of a cancer on our society. Unfortunately, I'm moving ever more quickly toward the 5th stage of grief over the death of my country. :cry:

http://ohiorestorationproject.com/plan.php


Our Plan
Ohio Restoration Project will organize and execute:

1 - Host seven Pastor Policy Briefings in the cities mentioned below from March through September.

Six weeks prior to the gathering, this will require a site inspection team of Pastor Russell and key leaders from the area. Marketing packets will be distributed through these meetings to ensure as many leaders as possible being in attendance at these Pastor Policy Briefings. All seven of these Policy Briefings will include informational packets on the Ohio for Jesus pastor's gathering in late October to early November in 2005.

2 - Pastor Policy Briefings in the targeted cities:

Cincinnati
Columbus
Cleveland
Canton/Akron
Dayton/Springfield
Steubenville/Youngstown
Toledo/Findlay
Martin's Ferry
These briefings will feature prominent, dynamic Christian leaders. We will identify and equip 2,000 Pastors to become Patriot Pastors. Dates and speakers are being finalized now, and will be available by May 1st.

3 - Encourage ministers across the state of Ohio to become Patriot Pastors. Patriot Pastors will be challenged to:

Preach and inform their congregations on issues relevant to the Christian Community. These ministers of the Gospel who are needed to encourage their church families to be engaged in the culture as a light set on a hill that refuses to be hid.

Help build a network of addresses and e-mails that will equip concerned Christians to become informed “Minutemen” of our day. Patriot Pastors will work towards adding 200 names to our statewide mailing and 100 e-mails. We presently have 60,000 names on our AFA Ohio mailing and 55,000 on other lists that have been made available. This does not include the 55,215 e-mailing addresses that we currently have. We would like to build that to a total of 300,000 on the mailing list and 100,000 e-mail addresses. In a single day, we could educate and mobilize hundreds of thousands who are able to pray at a moment's notice. A website could be developed helping thousands of families to have access to information that equips these folks to make a stand.

Host nonpartisan voter registration drives in their churches. Patriot Pastors will work toward registering 300 new voters by April 2006. These can be solicited in nonpartisan registration drives in a variety of ways. There are 88 counties with more than 7,000 churches. If we could see 00,000 new registered voters involved in the process, this would be a serious step towards the “Stewardship of our Citizenship.”

Include Voter Guides and inserts provided from Christian Coalition, American Family Association, and Center For Moral Clarity. Informed voters appreciate these tools in discovering where candidates stand on the issues. These Voter Guides are great tools to help engage their communities with conviction and confidence. These guides help clarify the positions of various candidates who, at times, would like to remain vague and noncommittal.

Mobilize voter participation through transportation for the elderly, childcare for young families, congregational prayer meetings for elections, praying for those candidates requesting prayer, being involved and engaged as “salt and light” within the culture.

Encourage their church families to participate in Pastor Policy Briefings and regional “God and Country Rallies” where the issues of the day are underscored and highlighted and the Judeo-Christian ethic is affirmed. Nationally known speakers Franklin Graham, Zell Miller, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, Bob McEwen, Pastor Lawrence White, Pastor Rod Parsley, Ambassador Alan Keyes, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, Chuck Colson, Pat Robertson and Tony Perkins will be asked to participate.


4 - When the 2005-2006 cycle has been completed, our goal will be to have accomplished:

2,000+ Ohio Pastors participating in seven key city Pastor Briefings (March – September)
Christian Minutemen mailing list enlarged to 300,000 and 100,000 e-mails.
2,000+ Ohio Ministers become Patriot Pastors and attend major gathering in fall of 2005
30,000+ Christians sharing in a OHIO for JESUS Rally in early 2006.
4 Million Voter Guides distributed in the fall of 2005 for first the May Primaries in 2006 and then for November 2006.
Video production and distribution of Patriot Pastors Briefing for 7,497 Ohio Pastors.

1. One of the strenghts of the RW is they are organized
We need new ideas and find ways to get in touch with middle America if we want to win.

2. Well they've been doing this for a long time
But they are particularly focused right now - obviously the 2006 elections will be, once again, a referendum on President Bush's presidency, we'll have to see if the nation wakes up or not.

4. "...issues relevant to the Christian Community."
Issues like tax cuts for the rich, denying gays the same rights as other Americans, trying to establish a State Religion.

In other words hate, bigotry, and racism, all the things that Nazi Christians need to be educated about.
