From Saul ALINSKI'S TACTICS TO ALL AMERICAN CANDIDATES, VOTERS FOR ANY LEVEL OF OFFICE

"From:  Wikipedia's "Rules for Radicals, a Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals (1971, Random House):

Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here You Want to CAUSE CONFUSION, FEAR, And RETREAT.

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”


Rule 9: The THREAT Is More TERRIFYING Than The THING ITSELF.

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

MEANS LOOK AT YOUR CANDIDATES:
1. Are they Name-Calling More Often Than They Are Addressing The Issues? If the answer is 'yes' then look for Union supporting the Candidate which translates into Progressive socialism - especially the Socialist part of the belief of this current in office government.

2. Have They or Do They Refuse To Address the Issues With Specific Plans beyond 'all the people'? 

3. Do They Give Expensive PRIVATE CAMPAIGN Time to the Other Candidate With Inaccurate, Flat-Out False Statements, or like the Media----only One Side of 5W's and How which Agree With Their Opinion?

4. Do They Address the words 'Constitution', but never address Our Supreme Law of The Land with Current Events? Examples: Why 26 States are going to the Supreme Court against the "Patient Protection and Affordability Act" or Why calling the Arizona Illegal ALIEN Law Enforcement or the Illegal Alien Sections of the FEDERAL CODE OF THE UNITED STATES have "potential" (see inaccurate above + confusion to the Elected Representatives of the Sovereign State of Arizona) for Civil Rights abuses? Never mind this government's common practice of ignoring Civil Rights aka: Health Act, Financial Act in House.

              This "potential" is one of the Code Words that Progressive Socialist's must utilize to justify actions which are not justifiable under the 324 yrs. (minus a side road of  'No Universal Truth'): "Promote then as an object of primary importance, Institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened. And The name of America, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discrimination's." These quotes are from The First Glorious and World Renowned Leader of the Founders -- you should be able to identify.  If you can't and you graduated from a public school system in the USA within the last 46 yrs., then you have learned, sometimes, the words  "Today's society relies mainly on lower tiers of information for truth" commonly utilized by revisionist historians (A Guide for learning and teaching The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the US using... by Joseph Andrews; 2001; p.10).
           
          Another example is relating to the Gulf Spill as "Old Spill is Worst in US History" without even considering BP's work or the Not Determined cause of the spill in the first place!  Totally forgetting the remoteness of Prince William Sound, that the coating oil from freezing and the ecology of Alaska continues the 1300 miles of shoreline damage and 11,000 Sq. miles of Ocean.  "However, one of the most stunning revelations of Trustee Council-funded monitoring over the last ten years is that Exxon Valdez oil persists in the environment and in places, is nearly as toxic as it was the first few weeks after the spill.
          This was not expected at the time of the spill or even ten years later. In 1999, beaches in the sound appeared clean on the surface. Some subsurface oil had been reported in a few places, but it was expected to decrease over time and most importantly, to have lost its toxicity due to weathering. A few species were not recovering at the expected rate in some areas, but continuing exposure to oil was not suspected as the primary cause. (Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council)."  This Leads to Alinski Tactic #11 last is best for these blind and deaf, one-sided thinkers:
 
5.   In the requirements of the position a candidate is running to fulfill, and of  those trying to decide who to vote for, Ask yourself: What part of the position is involved? Is the position even mentioned in the campaign? Does the personalization add information to either candidate's ability to meet the, in CA's case, the extreme danger & pressure our State has been placed under by 1" fish  v.  water for agriculture and people all over the not only this State, but also the Globe? And as a result of  Union's cost on every level of government in the 58 Counties of this State with abandonment of  CA Constitution: "Article I: Declaration of Rights: 7:1 b) A citizen or class of citizens may not be granted privileges or immunities not granted on the same terms to all citizens. Privileges or immunities granted by the Legislature may be altered or revoked.", does the candidate, proposition, taxpayer gain or who gets the most money at what cost? 
 
Here are some of the ethics of  'means':  In a separate chapter he suggests that the perennial question, "Does the end justify the means?" is meaningless as it stands: the real and only question regarding the ethics of means and ends is, and always has been, "Does this particular end justify this particular means?" = both examples above.
Alinski continues by stating several rules of the ethics of means and ends:
--Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.
--The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.
--Generally, success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.

Alinski takes government by utilizing Using the People's ignorance against them.

A positive way to judge candidates and your vote is read the "Voter's Pamphlet" especially the way the Law Shall Actively Read - in the back.  "..This exercise should provide the students with knowledge for deciding on candidates whom they believe are in tune with the true meaning of the Constitution.  This is only proper since they (Shall) have to take an oath to support it, if elected. Interrogating candidates from a Constitutional viewpoint will accomplish one of two goals: it will either provide constitutionally minded candidates with an opportunity to elaborate on it, or it will encourage those who don't know to learn more about it. It may embarrass some at first (I often wonder how many have ever read it), but it will gradually send a message that may encourage them to understand it and follow it. (p.20; A Guide for Learning...stated above)."

This does make the contrast which is responsible for the huge chasm between the continuum between Constitutional, Conservative Right______________to Progressive-Socialist Left.  There is much more involved which each can accomplish by: Research -- Reason -- Relate -- Report or Classical Learning Methods long abandon in public schools; not in charter or home schooling; and not by adults who are self-learners.
