Community organizing, such as that of ACORN, has gotten a lot of publicity since it spawned Barack Obama in Chicago. While discrediting ACORN for what it has done with that organizing, now its techniques are being used to train the 10 million radio and TV listeners of Glenn Beck to become a community of what he has titled "Constitutional Watch Dogs" to create a grassroots movement.
First on the list of actions will be for community members to identify the issues and then takes stands on them.
They include:
- Health care reform. The intention is expose what is being included in the Obamacare bill so that Americans understand the truth about it.
- Cap and Trade. The increase in taxes on utilities as well as finished products that would effect every American household and how it will be done.
- Card Check. A backdoor effort to take away free choice from workers coupled by binding arbitration.

Beck is telling his listeners that as Constitutional Watch Dogs:
I'd like you to fiercely guard and defend the U.S. Constitution. Whenever you see anyone attacking it, get between them and it.
Watchdogs will send Twips...tips on twitter... to Beck by e-mail or can call his show. After it is investigated, it will be broadcast to the other ten million Americans who listen to Beck's shows.

Every American should be holding our representatives feet to the fire and make sure what they are proposing fits within the boundries of the Constitution. This is a much needed action that we all can take. It's time to get over party politics and unite around what draws us together. What better thing to unite us than the Constitution?

Acorn is waiting for the code word (1968)if needed Obama's biggest fear is a Tiananmen Square because obama cant send out the tanks to kill americans.
