The conservative movement in Missouri is quickly learning that when push comes to shove, ACTIVE is there. ACTIVE has been working closely with the Tea Party coalition and other groups to ensure a physical as well as video presence at local events. This was brought about by the SEIU beating of a conservative man in St. Louis on August 6th at Rep. Russ Carnahan’s town hall.
The White House has taken unprecedented steps to silence the American people and has told Democrats to “Punch back twice as hard†http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0809/25891.html . The SEIU representatives were told in a conference call the day after the beating to keep it up.
On August 7th we were contacted to see about making a presence known at the Anti-Violence protest to be held at the SEIU headquarters in St. Louis. In under 24 hours ACTIVE members answered the call and drove as far as 3 _ hours each way at their own expense. They arrived ready to stand against thuggery and violence instigated by the Union.
ACTIVE members, armed with their own cameras were asked to patrol sidewalks and keep an eye out for any trouble. They mingled with the crowd while monitoring for disturbances.
After the protest, ACTIVE members on their own initiative went and interviewed 3 boys that ACORN had dispatched as counter-protesters.
The videos can be seen here:
On August 10th, ACTIVE again answered the call to assist at a Senator McCaskill town hall to be held the next day. Members that attended were asked to provide a bit of security for a local person that has been receiving death threats for her vocal opposition against HR 3200. All members acted professional and were able to assist in video and photographic monitoring of the other side.
These two examples are why ACTIVE is gaining a trusted name around the state. The groups willingness to work with other organizations, be dependable and act professionally are keys to their success.
ACTIVE is engaged in many activities throughout Missouri. We look forward to assisting and guiding our fellow conservatives through the trying time ahead.
