How You Can Help!

Source:

1. Circulate the petition

The petition serves a double purpose. The principal purpose, of course, is to demonstrate to the recipients (your U.S. representative and senators) the growing    demand to Get US out! But you can also use the petition as a door-opener for introducing the subject to others and for finding out whether or not they are interested.

As soon as petitions are completed, they should be mailed to Washington, per the instructions on the petition itself. Please feel free to make as many copies of the    petition as you need.
Download Petition - Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.Another useful door-opener is the survey entitled    Six Shockers about the United Nations.
You do not have to be an "expert" on the UN in order to approach others. Encourage those who agree as well as those who disagree to read one of The United    Nations Wants pamphlets (see suggestion #3 below).

2. Contact your U.S. representative and senators

Congress has the power to end U.S. membership in the UN. But most representatives and senators will not oppose U.S. membership in the UN unless they are pressured    to do so by a sufficient number of informed Americans in their districts and states. To learn how you can add your own voice to this growing demand, see "How to Communicate With Your Congressmen," which appears in the centerfold of Restoration of America.

3. Use the campaign tools to involve others

The button and bumper sticker are excellent conversation starters. It will cause some to ask you about the UN, giving you a splendid opportunity to hand them one of    The United Nations Wants pamphlets and to introduce them to the campaign.

By displaying our message, you will be helping to demonstrate the growing popular support to Get US out! The more often Americans see this message, the more    receptive they will be to information explaining why so many want to Get US out! We therefore encourage you to place the enclosed bumper sticker on your car and to use the envelope    stickers to brighten your outgoing mail. These individual efforts will reinforce our overall publicity efforts, which include advertising in the print and electronic media, yard signs,    billboards, etc.

We designed The United Nations Wants pamphlet series to capture the attention of busy Americans, to alert them to the UN threat, and to encourage them to    learn more and become involved. These pamphlets are short, easy-to-read, and inexpensively priced for wide distribution.

Each pamphlet in the series focuses on a separate hot-button issue. The "Starter Kit" contains six copies each of three of these pamphlets -- so you can immediately    use them to involve others. One copy each of three other pamphlets in the series is also enclosed. To order pamphlets click here.

We recommend carrying copies of one or more of the pamphlets with you so they’ll be available whenever an opportunity arises to discuss the UN threat. One way    of generating opportunities is to wear the lapel button. Whenever possible, ask each person who accepts a pamphlet to read it. Shortly thereafter, follow up for a reaction. Depending on the    reaction, ask him or her to sign the petition, to learn more, and to become involved. Please encourage him or her to order the materials recommended on the back panel of the pamphlet. Better yet,    please use the website to order extra copies of these materials and have them available for sale.

Generally speaking, each pamphlet recommends the special "United Nations" issue of THE NEW AMERICAN magazine and the "Starter Kit." One exception: The United    Nations Wants to Take Your Gun! pamphlet recommends the pocket book Global Gun Grab by William Norman Grigg, in lieu of the magazine. Each pamphlet also directs readers to our website    (www.getusout.org) for more information.

4. Read The United Nations Exposed -- and encourage others to do the same

The better informed you are, the more effective and motivated you will be. Ditto for the people you are enlisting in the campaign. The most comprehensive exposé available on the UN is The United Nations Exposed by William F. Jasper. Please take the time to read it. When others appear to be seriously concerned about UN threat -- concerned enough that they might be willing to read an in-depth study on the subject -- ask them to buy a copy of The United Nations Exposed. Also, you can use the information in this book as a basis for letters to the editor.

5. Subscribe to The New American Magazine

Second to none in its extensive coverage of the United Nations, The New American is the source for up-to-date and accurate reporting on the UN. Every issue has at least one news item about the moves of this organization and the threat it poses to American freedoms.

6. Write a letter to the editor

Your letter should be typed, double-spaced, and no longer than what the newspaper generally accepts. If your letter is published, you will reach an audience potentially as large as the newspaper’s circulation. Not bad for a forum requiring no expense!

7. Encourage groups to endorse the "sample resolution"

These groups can be large or small, governmental or private, local affiliates of a national organization or the national organization itself. Examples include: businessmen’s clubs, veterans’ groups, state legislatures, city councils, etc. The "sample resolution," like the petition, urges Congress to support legislation to Get US out!

8. Promote www.getusout.org

Our campaign website is designed not only to inform but to motivate and activate. Many good Americans who may not initially be interested in attending a meeting or reading or ordering materials might be interested in taking a cursory look at our website. That cursory look, of course, may well whet their appetite for more!

9. Work with others – join a local Get US out! Committee

By doing so, you will be able to increase your effectiveness. For example, you will be able to accomplish projects you probably could not do alone, such as erecting    a large commercial billboard or hosting a speaker. You will receive encouragement from the activity of others, just as others will receive sustained motivation from your activity. You will be    able to exchange ideas on what tactics are the most effective.

And most importantly, you will be able to help get more people involved, since the committees exist to provide leadership for an organized plan to reach out,    inform, and involve others.

To learn how to become involved in local committee action, please check with the person who told you about our campaign. You can also contact us through our website, or by calling (800) JBS-USA1, or by writing to: The John Birch Society, P.O. Box 8040, Appleton, WI    54912.
