I was walking today in the U of MN Student Union.  I love being surrounded by young students with everything in life at their feet.  It was rejuvenating talking with students and workers in the union and on the campus.  I am a person that believes that education is lifelong.  I love the energy found on campus.  I also love the diversity found there. 

There was a man giving away English Quran’s (It is funny my spell check is not helping with the Quran spelling.  I guess the Islamic Fascists can just try to take my head if it is spelled incorrectly.)

I also found the local Socialist Squirrels are trying to recruit even more nuts.  This is what was on the flyer:

“Socialist Minnesota”

Hey, this is still America and it is amusing to see the diversity and refreshing to watch each of these entities spend capital at winning hearts and minds. 

The sign that really put a smile on my face was actually written in chalk on the sidewalk.  Next week…Drum roll!…Is Conservative Week on Campus!  Hooray!

Get Grizzly out there!

Well, nothing ever works as planned and instead of having a good month to fine craft this transition, it will be a work in progress.  Nothing new, just not ideal.  So you can watch as the changes go into place. 

Being an artist, I love the design of WordPress blog themes.  I enjoy the visual aspects keeping them fresh and relevant.  One thing you will not see on my sites is an insecure draping of my sites in patriotism or Americana.  Hey, I am as patriotic and American as the rest of my Conservative bloggers, but don’t you notice that those sites and efforts that drip red, white and blue usually have another agenda in mind?  There is nothing easier then wrapping yourself with the flag to deceive the casual patriot that you fit into the Conservative thought, voice and image.  However, it is hard to dress up content.  Hell, it is hard to produce content. 

I thought by having the radio, blogs and magazines up until the 29th without changing anything about them, I would have time to come up with a truly concise and retooled Grizzly Groundswell Reformation.  Well, our radio hosting company really bunged up our royalty license and threatened with the fact that if our station went on air without royalty license because of a muck-up, I would be in the muck having to pay royalty or fines to those great artists.  So I to be safe I deleted our content and shut it down early because of the liability. 

So the radio is down, and the blog sites are now set so that I am the lone author.  This was the hardest step in this Grizzly Groundswell Reformation.  The radio decision was a simple business decision It was hard and painful, but it was black and white.  It was a leap of faith that I decided to become the lone author of my online effort.  I have always since July 27, 2007 lifted up everyone else.  This is not only a strategy change, but it is a personal evolution I am striving for as well.  The pastor needs to become a better business man. 

So why in the hell would I turn away the best authors across this country that were providing me free and brilliant content to drive my sites to the success they are today?  Why would I simply throw away something so brilliant?  Well, it was painful, but the political landscape has changed. 

How has it changed? 

Well, in July 27th, of 2007 there was a need to unite the Conservative thought, voice and image.  Today, we have a Socialist Squirrel Administration that has done that for us!  So today what is needed are clear attainable goals, and a voice and message that you own and shout proudly with your message to win hearts and minds!  It is time for ideas, values and yes…hopefully your Agenda’s will prevail!  Although, know that I pray that my message, wins the day.   

The only problem with uniting the Conservative thought, voice and image like I have since July 27th, 2007 is that I end up holding a lot of hands and dealing with chicken coop pecking order crap that takes me away from my life long calling.  I am not saying that I will never try to unite Conservatives.  In fact, I hope to unite them behind my vision!  But, in politics and in life, I can’t wait to slug it out with other great Conservative minds, but I am not naive enough to think that my ideas alone will win the day.  It is our diversity of thought, values and ideals that truly make us American and not pathetic Socialist Squirrel nuts!  But lets not to be hard on these nuts, they do give us a good laugh with their silly world view. 

I am looking forward to actually getting to know my fellow bloggers and not just uniting them.  The chicken pecking order that these operatives try to overtake movements like the Grizzly Groundswell are tiring and it occured to me about a month ago, that I am wasting too much time and effort on operatives and not getting my message out.  So, a Grizzly Groundswell Reformation is here.  It is simply a time management and selfish out of necessity shift in my online effort. 

So I hope you join me.  Comments are always open so get Grizzly.  If your a Socialist Squirrel operative bring it!  It is always fun and great for traffic to have a few flame threads, but don’t think I am going to let you waste my time.  Honestly, there is too much to do my fellow Americans!

If you want to make my day, call yourself Grizzly and work hard with me to live up to that old nickname of E. W. Everson.  I know first hand it is not easy.  It takes Temerity, and a lot of Grizzly to move these mountains we have before us.

Temerity Stories:  I am going to try to get out a Temerity Magazine on time here on May 29th.  If you have a story, or any submissions send them to GrizzlyGroundswell at Yahoo dot com

Coming April 29th, 2010. 

The Grizzly Groundswell Reformation

153 years since the birth of E. W. Everson, this Grizzly Groundswell, takes on a total reformation!

Ever Since, July 27th, 2007 I have worked day and night for the Grizzly Groundswell membership.  My family and business capital along with my sacred honor were pledged to this movement.  Well, the party has ran out of wine and the only cheese has been stolen by our elected officials to trade for more of our liberties and freedoms.  With no hope of seeing membership or this Conservative movement take itself seriously online today and monetize and support this effort, I have had to make the gut wrenching decision to shut this old Grizzly down April 29th, 2010.

My wonderful authors that have done such a great job on all my sites and online magazines will be relieved of their duty on all the sites, www.grizzlygroundswell.com, www.wggrn.com, and www.socialistsquirrel.com as of April 29th, High Noon.  Temerity Magazine and the WGGRN quarterly magazine will be shut down as well.

The talented Radio Hosts will go silent April 29th at High Noon as the 24/7 station is shut down. 

It is time for this Conservative movement to monetize itself and support itself as only honorable movements must grow into.  I only regret that it did not monetize itself fast enough for me and my household. 

April 29th, Everything that was Theodore Media, and the Grizzly Groundswell goes black.  I will emerge May 1st a Grizzly Army of one. 

Responsible for only my own effort.

The Grizzly Groundswell will become one brand, one message, one effort. 

I want to thank all my dear friends, members and fellow grizzly!  It has been a wonderful ride and I thank you for all you have done for this movement.  I hope I taught you well, because it is now up to you to host your fellow patriots, and unite their thought, voice and image.  I hope you stay in touch and tune in to read, listen and see what is growling Grizzly and take advantage of any new opportunities that should be coming soon.

I have united the Conservative thought, voice and Image across this nation since July 27th, 2007.  Now it is time to share my vision, my message, and grow this Grizzly Groundswell in a totally new way as you grow your effort for all our future.

Remember the only constant in this world is change.

Email me at GrizzlyGroundswell at yahoo dot com if you have monetization solutions.

My dear friends, I pray the best for you and your efforts, I will always cheer you on.  I hope you do the same for me as I enter into this new chapter.
