Large marches do much (annoy you-know-who; energize folks; find one another—yeay). But they're no longer as scary to pols as they're easier.

I believe phone calls are headed that way. They no longer convey the same level of underlying capacity phone calls did 10-20 years ago.

How can "Resistance" display strength? Do harder things. Fundraiser targets weak R's who vote yes, gets 100 million in one day. Might do it.

This is not an argument against marching or calling. You probably have to do those things just as baseline (their absence signals weakness).

Unfortunately, this discussion brings out a lot of defensiveness—as if one is belittling movements. Defensiveness is not a path to strength.

My 2¢: You want to spook the R's voting yes today? Put up a single fundraising page targeting them, raise many millions before the vote.

I wrote up on FB what might stop the repeal of Obamacare, even at this last minute. A single, loud fundraising page. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1826519680695429&set=a.108673669146714.15995.100000122456753&type=3&permPage=1 …pic.twitter.com/yuAjLYdgCd
