Moylan Moderates CPAC Panel on Mobilizing Grassroots

National Taxpayers Union’s Director of Government Affairs spoke at a CPAC panel focused on helping the grassroots organizers how to organize and to connect with other groups and individuals for promoting greater freedoms. The Saving Freedom One Patriot at a Time panel had many prominent innovators of the freedom movement:

• Ginni Thomas, LibertyCentral.org
• Dana Loesch, St. Louis Tea Party
• John O’Hara, author of A New American Tea Party
• Jenny Beth Martin, Tea Party Patriots

The interesting discussion ranged in both scope and application of mobilizing local citizens for the cause of liberty and freedom. Dana Loesch said, “go to your neighborhood waterhole and take them over… don’t ever become predictable… [and] never let opposition define your boundaries.” Jenny Martin, who helped organize the 9-12 March on Washington, made the goal of doubling, if not tripling, the number of Tax Day Tea Parties, numbering over 850 last year. The underlying point of the panel was, get connected and get active in the movement to make the government for the people, not against the people.
