All great resistance movements are driven by individual action united by a common goal.
The common goal – to turn all that was once red BLUE.
Our goal – to unite YOU to do it.
SO HERE, FOR YOU, WE OFFER:
GROUPS - If you have, are part of, or want to join a blue/progressive group out there or on-line, JOIN us and POST about it and upcoming meetings, especially if it's in or for Blues in red states.
EVENTS - If you know of, want to announce or start, or seek events, meetings, or gatherings for Blues in your area, especially in red states, post here to get involved or to just show up and meet others like you.
INSPIRATION - Stories – A Poppy is a pissed-off passionate progressive, someone who has somehow found their own way to help Fight for the Blue. If you have a story of some such thing you started – a movement, project, business, etc., and want to share, to publicize, and to inspire others, post.
HOOKUPS – MEET – Looking for Others Like You in Your Area, join, check out other members, chat.
COMMENTARY – Comment on or point out facts, news stories, thoughtful points, etc., that we can use to change minds and votes. Bulletins will carry occasional commentary from TheRedStateResistance.Com – The Blog.
ADVICE - As Poppies ourselves who wanted to help the cause, had no money then found a way to fight by first creating a website, then a webstore, then a webmovement, we hope to share our own how-to story in future blogs and bulletins with other progressive entrepreneurs who want to be Passionate, Progressive, Politically Active, and Perhaps even Profitable.
THE HOTTEST BLUE POLITICAL ACTION WEAR AND GEAR – Well of course we’ve got that for you too at www.RedStateResistance.Com.
In the early days of the Resistance our watchwords to win were:
PRESENCE, PERSUASION, PRIDE, PARTICIPATION, and PROPAGATION!
In short,
SHOW YOURSELF, FIND OTHERS, and SPREAD THE WORD!
In very short,
LIVE BLUE!
TO POST hit up the COMMENTS. That way you’ll meet a lot of good Blue folks and they'll get to meet you too!
Have PICTURES wearing our gear? Awesome! Send and we'll post under PICS the hottest and best of the bunch!
Have a great or hysterical political CLIP or VIDEO? Let us know and we'll add it. Or subscribe to our new Blue Movies by RedStateResistance.com at YouTube.

For more info on our mission check out our newly forming blog at www.theredstateresistance.com or the original movement website at www.redstateresistance.org.
Green Day to Disturbed to Tupac to CCR and beyond. Music is universal, belongs to everyone, and is the ultimate in freedom of expression... well at least it should be, unless of course the right wing gets giddy with power, runs amok, and burns your CDs. (Keep Right On Not Making Nice Dixie Chicks!)
If YOU have blue/progressive music you’d like to share with your fellow Rez join and tell us about your band or video. Or you can just recommend bands you like.

Thanks for adding me. ¶ People hear only what they want, so facts alone won't wake them; they need inspiration too. ¶ This world's evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, & murderers — whether in school, home, government, or elsewhere — believe we're all separate, motivated only by self-interest, by greed & fear. They want us to share that belief; they use it to justify themselves, to manipulate us, to shape the world's political & economic systems, perpetuating war & poverty. ¶ But you & I have found something better inside ourselves & our friends. It's in everyone, if we can just wake them; we're all one flesh & blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor & temporary. ¶ The outcome of the ideological struggle is not yet determined, so no one can afford to be just a spectator. Join the movement, if you haven't already: get involved in whatever way feels right for you. Question authority. Keep fighting, loving, hoping, singing. Hand in hand, we may still be able to heal this world. ¶ I'm impressed with ideas of Lakoff & Waldman about *how* to spread the vision, so I'm trying to promote their ideas via comments like this one and the essay on my MySpace page. It's free (I'm not selling anything). ¶ The real war is between classes, not nations. So I'll celebrate July 14, not July 4. CLOSE GITMO BY BASTILLE DAY; PASS IT ON. ¶ Love, Eric

What do you think of these newly discovered crime scene photos (viewed at Abu-Jamal-News.com)?
I have been personally contacting every media outlet I could find and still the mainstream media has completely ignored the story. Many independent media outlets have covered it, but the only independent outlet that has actually published one of the photos is the national Black newspaper, The SF Bay View (click here).
This is just the latest episode in a long history of corporate media bias (and arguably racism) towards Mumia and other political prisoners.
Please add us to your top friends, and help alert others to the dangers of nuclear power and weaponry, and help educate on more sustainable, renewable energy alternatives.
"Switching from coal to nukes, is like giving up smoking and taking up crack." ~ Dan Becker, director of the Sierra Club's global warming program
Please go to my page and listen to some of my songs...Many of them highlight the ideas of our movement, especially "(Peace) In America." If you like them, please pass the songs along to your friends!
