As WND reported, the "Operation: Can You Hear Us Now?" webmaster, who has chosen to remain nameless, launched his website on Sept. 15. After only one week, he is experiencing an outpouring of support from citizens interested in hosting and attending rallies.
"People are really psyched up," he told WND today. "There are thousands of new visitors coming to the site daily."

The operation website states, "Imagine: There was a million-plus person march on Washington, and no one reported it. It did not happen."
It's not just Obama who's lying. It's his Minion Media, too!
The operation website asks citizens to rally outside "left-wing media outlets" on Oct. 17 and lists the following locations as suggestions:

Get ready for Oct. 17! Visit the one and only "tea party store" now.
The webmaster said citizens should connect through tea party groups, Facebook, Twitter, blogs and message boards to spread the word. He also said organizers must pick the best times and local media locations for the Oct. 17 events.
"Some people messaged me and asked why not a more symbolic day," he said. "I say, why shouldn't we be the ones to make it a symbolic day, a day in history the press will never forget?"
The operation is planning a coordinated e-mail, phone and fax campaign against four major media outlets with the simple message: "Can you hear us now?"

Attendees are encouraged to bring signs, banners, flags and voices to the events. Make no mistake, the webmaster said, there is no "Astroturf" springing from his website – it's just another grass-roots movement catching fire.
"I'm just one guy, not an activist," he told WND. "I have no sponsors, no bankroll, no agenda – except to help put a nail in the mainstream-media coffin."
Citizens interested in adding or coordinating an event may contact organizers.
