The Midweek Update - What Will We Do With This Moment? - November 6, 2024
The Promethean spirit of America triumphed yesterday, as Donald Trump and the American people conquered all that has been thrown against them over the last 8 years.
We have a special report for you: highlights of our Ground Game activities since President Trump announced his candidacy, and what we've done to build a movement around his ideas. We also cover Trump rallies in MI and in CA, a meeting in Houston, and Mindy Pechenuk's campaign in Oakland, CA.
Promethean PAC endorsed Trump for President shortly after his announcement in 2022 and our volunteers have worked tirelessly to get out the vote for Trump. On the policy side, Promethean Action has been working to set forth the American System policies for a future Trump administration, which will make America a manufacturing, scientific, and industrial superpower. This photo report highlights some of this activity.
Promethean PAC participated in weekly rallies of Auto Workers for Trump, in the Detroit, MI area. Even though the UAW bureaucrats endorsed Kamala, the rank and file union members and workers at the plants support Trump.
Promethean Action organizers attended a Rescue the Republic rally on Sunday, September 29, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The list of speakers included RFK, Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, who are now both working with President Trump and his transition team.
Mindy Pechenuk's campaign for Oakland City Council at large has a message, Make Oakland Great Again. To do that, she is getting out the word about Trump and his policies in California, and receiving lots of support.
Ron Kokinda's campaign for State Representative in Michigan's House District 2 is organizing to bring manufacturing back to the Detroit area. He is engaging in dialogue with the Arab American community, including Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib, who endorsed Trump for President.
Our volunteers were elected as Trump delegates to the GOP National Convention in Milwaukee in July. Susan Kokinda, a leader in Michigan, participated in and reported on the daily events.
In Houston, TX, volunteers participated in many rallies, and the MAGA Fest. Houston is located in "blue" Harris County, and we intend to change the name to Trump County!
Promethean PAC was at the Trump rally in Butler, PA on October 5. The mood of the rally was characterized by the spirit of American culture and optimism, from the "Ave Maria" performance, to Elon Musk, and Trump's message to "fight, fight, fight!"
In Virginia, we participated in weekly Trump rallies, like this one at a grocery store to "Make Groceries Affordable Again."
We organized in "blue" California, and met many Trump supporters. Sometimes we had to ward off a few crazy liberals, but overall people were open to Trump.
All over the country, we found support from Black Americans for Trump. In Houston, TX, we got a good response organizing in "the 'hood."
Promethean PAC attended the Trump rally in Warren, MI on November 1, setting up a display of our literature, intersecting the crowd, and engaging in conversations.
In addition to our usual display of beautiful, polemical signs, especially "Donald Can't Do It Alone" and "Trump is the Only Anti-War Candidate," at this rally we displayed one which said "Trump: Best Democrat Since Kennedy," with side-by-side photos of JFK and Trump. There was absolutely no negative response to this sign and many people said that they agreed with the slogan.
Our set-up also featured the first public debut of our new polemical artistic masterpiece, which might be characterized as "Kackling Kamala and Her Hydrogen Bomb." The giant full-color image features a standard photo of Kamala, cackling, in front of a giant H-bomb mushroom cloud, just behind New York City. We displayed this at the top of one of our giant A-frames, with the slogan, "BRING BACK TRUMP." A group of high-school students from the Grosse Pointe neighborhood, just north of Detroit asked, "How much does it cost? How much will you take for it?"
We distributed 650 of the new Promethean Action flyer, "Election Rigging? Trump Assassination Plots? Free Trade? It’s the British!" The response was generally very good, including to the first line about, "It is not Russia, but Britain..." A few people took extras to distribute.
In addition to the usual American "Blue Collar Republicans" at the event, there were several foreign contingents there as well. People from Finland and Britain were interested in what we had to say.
Texas Promethean PAC held its online meeting on October 31 on the topic: Once Trump Wins, What Is Our Next Responsibility?
Evelyn Lantz gave introductory remarks on our strategy to turn out a landslide victory for Trump, to be prepared for whatever the enemies throw at us on November 6, and what we're going to do with the new administration. She talked about Trump's magnificent rally at Madison Square Garden and its theme, "Dream Big Again!" She played a clip of Tulsi Gabbard's reading of the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence.
Then, Lantz played part of Melania Trump's speech, highlighting the spirit of New York City, and contrasted that to Kamala's desperate rant at the Washington Ellipse. She talked about the new leaflet, "Election Rigging? Trump Assassination Plots? Free Trade? It’s the British!" and the new pamphlet, What President Trump Can Do With The American System 2.0.
Brian Lantz, author of the upcoming book, Rebuild the USA: The Trump Presidency and Beyond, spoke of the initiatives that Trump can take. One section of the book deals with the energy crisis: under our Constitutional system, the President has powers to declare an economic emergency and clear the way for building power plants. He can pull together leaders in business, enterprises, and research, and work with state governors to solve the crisis. We can build back this country with a new credit mechanism and other measures. We need a new labor force, out of the services and gig economies, and into the productive workforce.
During the Q and A, people discussed what they're doing to educate the citizenry on these ideas. One lady is posting Promethean articles on all social media, and sending them to Trump, Elon Musk, and Dan Bongino. Another guy has distributed over 1,000 of the "20 Promises" leaflet around Houston and on the campuses. Another lady is concerned about what we can do for the veterans.
Evelyn Lantz ended the meeting by quoting from Trump's new ad,: "You can’t LEAD America if you don’t LOVE Americans."
The campaigns for Trump for President and Pechenuk for Oakland City Council at large have visited several neighborhoods in Oakland over the final weekend of this historic election. On Friday, a campaign rally at a Mosque found near unanimous support for Trump and prayer attendees very happy to meet Pechenuk and learn that someone is fighting to reverse the destruction of the city and the country. Outrage at the current state of affairs was expressed by numerous individuals, some stating that they had lived in Oakland all their life and never saw it so bad with the crime and violence. The outrage was directed both at the Biden/Harris administration as well as Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and District Attorney Pamela Price, both of whom are up for recall on Tuesday's ballot.
On Saturday, the campaign returned to Oakland Chinatown and held a rally
on a busy corner, distributing literature and engaging in discussions in
English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
After Chinatown, the organizers proceeded to the Fruitvale Mexican-American neighborhood, where again there were many positive responses. Three different people, expressing support for Trump, asked for help in determining where to vote. Literature in English and Spanish was distributed, and there were many honks and thumbs up at the banners and signs.
Later, at a pizza parlor, the proprietor, an Algerian, said she had given up on voting, that she came from a country where elections were rigged and expected it to be better in America, but was now disillusioned. She was happy to learn that Pechenuk was running and that someone was fighting the insanity of the Democratic Party. She declared that, in no case, would she vote for Harris; her nephew had to be taken out of school because of the gender shenanigans. In the end, she said, "I wish you friend luck."
Mindy Pechenuk, candidate for Oakland City Council At Large, released the following statement on Election Eve, November 4, 2024:
"In their most recent podcast of Steve Tavares and the 'East Bay Insiders,' they referred to me, Mindy Pechenuk, a number of times including the following; 'Our girl is Mindy Pechenuk, our Republican. She's been, they've been to every one of our events. She's been everywhere. She's at all the board meetings. She's very tenacious at trying to become the next council member for the city of Oakland.' I want to thank Steve Tavares and the 'East Bay Insiders' for this shout out and recognition of my unique campaign. I want to add that I was the ONLY candidate publicly and repeatedly campaigning for the Recall of BOTH Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao AND Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price. I was ALSO THE ONLY candidate publicly and repeatedly supporting the candidacy of Donald J. Trump for President in this November election. It is time to "Make America Great Again" and "Make Oakland Safe and Productive Again."
In the home stretch before the November election, Promethean PAC organizers deployed to the California Central Valley and a November 2 Trump Truck Rally in the East Bay Tri-Valley area, including Livermore. There was lively enthusiasm for a Trump victory, although some trepidation about potential fraud and about what may happen after the election. Organizers stressed with people that while we can’t be sure what will happen, the prospects for a Trump victory are good and we have to keep preparing to lead the country out of the dark age it has been in for decades. This means learning history and real economics so we can tell our elected officials what to do, and to run for office ourselves. Several people were very intrigued about the role of the British in the assassinations of past U.S. presidents, and some were clearly upset at the cover-up of what happened in Butler, PA. One woman, who formerly worked in the operating room at UCLA medical center was very serious and wanted to read practically everything on our table. She went away with almost that, including Bob Ingraham’s biography of George Washington.
The team in the Central Valley was joined for a few hours by a supporter, a small businessman who had made a lot of Trump T-shirts and sold a bunch of them at our table. The next day, he came “over the hill” to join the Trump Truck rally in Pleasanton/Livermore, both to sell more shirts and to be a part of the rally. We met more good people and even appeared in a spot on a local CBS news broadcast about the election, with a picture of our table and signs at the assembly point for the rally and a short interview with one organizer.
