Beck Will Host Conventions to Educate America

He's shifting toward political organizer, plans big DC rally

Share

(Newser) – Glenn Beck is fashioning himself into a political organizer. Beck unveiled his promised "big plan" today at a Florida rally, in a letter to supporters, and in an interview with the New York Times. He plans a series of educational "conventions" across the country to teach people "how to be a political force," along with voter-registration drives. These will culminate in August or September with a DC march that will coincide with—ta da—the release of a new Beck book on solutions called The Plan.

“We’ll be looking for ways to get people involved in politics,” he tells the Times. “I hear people saying, ‘OK, now what?’ They’re calling their representative, but it’s time to get more proactive.”

I have begun meeting with some of the best minds in the country that believe in limited government, maximum freedom and the values of our Founders. I am developing a 100-year plan.

Advice to progrssives. the points and comments you make might be worthy enough for someone to read but when you call conservatives nazis your credibility is gone. I have been to Dachau and have seen first hand the horror of the nazis on human beings. Make your points, practice freedom of speech, but leave nazis out of the conversation.
