[Anonymous]

Call the Chamber of Commerce line. There is an actual person answering the phone there

Here's a concrete action a friend of a friend proposed: Friends, let's seek a tactical victory this week. Let's try to stop the Bannon appointment. Presidents have had to back down before, for comparatively minor reasons. (Some of us are old enough to remember Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, Bill Clinton's two AG appointments, who had to withdraw for failing to pay Social Security taxes.) Let's not assume this is a done deal.
Let's do what we can to stop this. I have enclosed a list of actions below. Please feel free to add to this, especially those of you with organizing experience (some of whom I've tagged).

1) If you live in the US, call your Representatives and Senators and tell them this is unacceptable.
2) Paul Ryan is feigning ignorance again. Call his office at [phone] and let him know that this is not ok. Same with Majority Leader McConnell, [phone].
3) Call out the media when they report the Bannon appointment as a straight news story or refer to him as a "Breitbart executive" or a "provocateur," but don't call him what he is: a white supremacist, anti-semite, misogynist. Don't let them normalize.
4) Where protests are ongoing, make this the focus, with signs, chants, etc. Next week we can turn out attention to other things. But for now let's focus like a laser on this.
5) Let's get religious groups on board; maybe even mainstream business groups, like the Chamber of Commerce (202-659-6000).
6) Contact other people of influence--College presidents, high-profile coaches and anyone else who has a public megaphone.
We can do this. #stopbannon

Morning all!

Don't forget to call, and write. Don't let this story die or become hidden. Don't let the media off the hook either. Contact the media outlets as well local and national make sure they are telling this story and of his meeting with Farage.

Do not go quiet.

OP, please go back to work, school or washing your family's laundry -- whatever it is you do. Your moment in the sun is over.

They seek not to understand but to derail the purpose of the thread and distract people from taking action.

Take action all you want. But understand that you are making an ass out of yourself if you are protesting something that doesn't exist

The white nationalists are celebrating Bannon's appointment. Do you think you know white nationalism better than they do?
You've done far more than make an ass of yourself. You have turned a blind eye to betraying our country.

Wrong again! We aren't looking to you and your white nationalist friends for advice.

The chamber is the source of the nevertrump movement. They are persona non grata in this administration.

We're not giving "advice." We're merely pointing out that you are making a fool of yourself.

Ignore all the negative trolls and just keep doing what OP suggests. This is the type of momentum that will be needed right now. The trolls are with him, we are not!

Hahahahah.... omg.... No one cares what you think crazy libs. You lost. You know who is taking those calls and deleting those Vms and emails.... interns. No one cares. The more ridiculous your demands are, the stronger the wall becomes between you and your new government. Maybe you can hold a bake sale or something to raise money to send safety pins to Trump. Yeah, that'll show those darn republicans that you mean business.

[Anonymous]

No, no...let them keep doing it. All they are doing is increasing the resolve of the backbone of the country. No one of any consequence believes the media anymore, or the polls or actually thinks a petition from Change.org is going to accomplish anything other than giving the liberals a false sense of superiority. Let them keep at it, it is America after all. Let them keep spewing their intolerance for any view other than their own.

[Anonymous]

Yup. The Dems certainly did not listen to the American people when they told them they did not want the ACA. Three elections later, they are still telling the Dems they didn't want it.

[Anonymous]

What's the difference between a "white advocate" and a "black advocate"?

(I'm not sure where the "nationalist" thing comes from)

LOL. They are truly coming unglued. What's funny is that they actually think all of this facebook posting will make a difference.
