First rule of messaging is "stay on offense."  When Mark Brewer and Diane Byrum and Gaffney and the Big Labor leaders and Jon Stryker and all of the other liberal extremists start rattling off the "honey" it's vital that everyone in ear shot be able to counter by pointing out the arsenic.

2) In the end, I'm convinced, an effective defense of the constitution will require a quick hitting, consistent and easily summarized attack on the enemy focusing specifically on one or two complaints re: the RMGN takeover attempt.

Brewer / Stryker et al will be running around screaming "PUNISH THE BUMS IN LANSING." In the time it would take the good guys to respond with a doctoral level thesis covering thirty-six bullet points they'll have screamed "PUNISH THE BUMS IN LANSING" thirty-five more times.  What's unemployed Joe Six Pack in Macomb County going to remember when he goes to the polls on election day, as he passes gas stations with $4.00 a gallon gasoline?

Now, don't ask me what our counter-strike needs to look / sound like.  I don't know just yet, though I'm bound to become painfully opinionated about it at some point soon.  

That's why diaries like this one are so critically important.  Going back to my initial point... we need to understand this thing and the potential messaging, paragraph by paragraph.
