LaRouche PAC Detroit and LaRouche EIR Ottawa Meetings Are Key Points in a Continental ‘Mass Effect’ of Organizing
December 12, 2007 (LPAC)--In the past few weeks, Lyndon LaRouche's principle of the mass effect has been acted upon by LaRouchePAC organizers. The mass effect is a universal physical principle, like Kepler's principle of universal gravitation, but the mass effect governs human social relations, and the way in which ideas are communicated to create revolutionary political change. This dynamic principle, when acted upon by people, stirs up society, especially in times of crisis, and frees people to think more clearly about what must be done.
Look at the last few days of LaRouchePAC organizing, especially continent-wide political events yesterday, with this intention in mind.
The LaRouche EIR Ottawa Conference December 11, 2007, (1) on the prospects of world infrastructure projects, (adequately reported elsewhere on this site), had embassies of nine countries represented, including China, and a total of over 70 guests. As this conference was occurring, over 50 people gathered in Detroit, Michigan for a town hall meeting, timed, of course, with intent, to coincide with the historic Canadian gathering.
Of the 50 or more attendees in Detroit, well over 30 were youth, some of them members of the LYM, but most of them college students organized to attend by LYM members. Those who attended, left ready to organize--taking 84 bundles of the LPAC pamphlet "Is the Devil in Your Laptop" (about 3,200 copies) with them.
Speakers included former state representative Lamar Lemmons III, and Pontiac City Councilman Everett Seay, whose city council was the first in the country to pass the HBPA.
The two of these political revolutionaries stole the show with their presentations, as they organized the audience around LaRouche, "the idea man,” and the importance of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration. Seay said, “We are producers, not paper pushers,” launching into attacks on Nancy Pelosi. He described fight to save the auto sector which he had participated in with LaRouchePAC two years ago.
The Pontiac City Council had also passed a resolution in 2005 for retooling the auto/machine tools industry, and Councilman Seay reported how the once-industry-proud Pontiac had had five GM plants with 50,000 workers, now has dwindled down to one GM plant with only 8,000 workers.
He emphasized the importance of the LYM, and told the youth, that the failed policy-makers have "robbed you of your Pursuit of Happiness.... you have to get it back!” Lemmons III, who is the policy director for his father, Lemar Lemmons, Jr., the current House Representative, the leading sponsor of the HBPA (H.R. 190), and the resolution to support retooling of the auto industry told people to ``burn the phone lines” in order to get the bill passed; mobilize their neighbors, fellow churchgoers, co-workers, the "ordinary people" who scare the Congress into action.
Rep. Lemmons said that we need an FDR because we are faced with "an FDR sized crisis," and there is no presidential candidate of that stature. So, like Seay, he said, the candidates have to be made--through the people's mobilization--to adopt the HBPA policy.
Members of the LaRouche movement then organized further around LaRouche's latest economic concepts, including a presentation on his latest paper, ``Let There Be a Time for Thanksgiving,” and LYM presentations on changing the biosphere through the PLINHO project in Mexico, and the Bering Strait project for the world rail link, and the development of Arctic trade routes. A final presentation attacking the MySpace/Facebook internet culture of today's youth, concluded with the LYM singing these lyrics, set to the tune of Felix Mendelssohn's beautiful "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”

Roast Congress on an Open Fire
Now look to other coordinated actions around the country. In California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Texas, and other states, organizers have been relentlessly pursuing elected officials and community organizers to pass the HBPA, and intervening into a new development: mass meetings of victims of the foreclosure crisis, popping up around the country. Last week, in the Bay Area of California alone, six city council meetings were presented with LaRouche's HBPA, and this week, so far, another five have been visited. Other reports on this site today, give some of the results.
Adding to this growing fire, over 100,000 “Is the Devil in Your Laptop?” pamphlets have already been distributed nationwide on and around college campuses, most of them in the last week; this is only the beginning of a 500,000-pamphlet mobilization. This pamphlet may serve as a crucial element to saving our United States, for were today's 16-25 year olds to free themselves from the soul-sucking confines of Bill Gates' and Rupert Murdoch's computer game fantasy world, they would be freed to think; hence, many would, naturally, join the LYM in applying that essential, and youthful boot, to the Congress' behind, rather than shooting each other this Christmas.
