Trusting in Christ.

An endeavor to trend #ProLife and #Ireland on Google+, as well as on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, all day on 1 July 2013.

Ireland is the only English speaking country that does not allow abortion, and the government is threatening to legalize it this July, despite the people. They lied outright, promising they would not do this very thing, to get themselves elected.

It is, again, the only English speaking country that does not allow abortion, and they are being pushed to legalize it right now; it is of worldwide importance for anyone who is Pro-life, and speaks English.

There will be an all Ireland rally in Dublin against abortion on July 6th; the trend will be on the Monday before it.

To participate you only need to post any number of public posts with the hashtags #Prolife and #Ireland on Google+, Twitter, or Facebook, on the first of July 2013.

(Remember, the event itself will be going by Ireland time. So just post on 1 July whenever that is for you. If you are not living near Ireland, the event may say it is not started yet when it is 1 July already for you. Or the event may say it has already started when it is not 1 July yet where you are. If the event says it is 1 July when it is not 1 July where you are, you can go ahead and post then too, if you want.)

Each post can have a link to this page you are reading now, so that people who see our posts and want to participate in the trend can find out about it very easily.

If you can, I think the best time to post would be between 11:00am - 3:00pm Eastern time, which is the same as 1:00pm - 8:00pm Universal / Greenwich time (the time zone Ireland is in).

Remember that they need to be public posts, or they will not appear on the trend.

Here are the hashtags and link to quickly copy and paste into your posts:

#ProLife #Ireland

Will you help?

For those who can, we have a special project for that day too.

As I gather, the basic idea of trending something is to post many posts at once. If you write out the posts in documents during the weeks before the trend, and the day before the trend prepare them for posting on separate tabs, a single person could post ten posts in seven seconds at any time during the day of the trend. This way a few people could easily trend something for a short while, and the rest of the day they could help organize people, or prepare even more posts for the “rush.”

We can check how many new posts per second the highest trending topic has, and could make teams, each one large enough to post fast enough to trend, and when one team runs out of prepared posts you can switch to the next team that is waiting, and this would keep it trending longer.

This way we can put hard work to good use. We can make hundreds of quality posts, and find quality posts to repost (there are plenty from the previous trend endeavors). And we can organize teams and gather resources, quotes, pictures, and ideas for us all to use. All this we can begin doing right now. We have about one week.

For Pinterest I was going to pin the event’s picture with a link to the trend’s posts on Google+, and send the pin to whoever will agree to repin it, so that, depending on how many people can help, the pin will get repinned in scores of places on one day. I will pin it at 2:00pm Eastern time (which would be 7:00 Universal / Greenwich time).

For this special project we need people who will, each for himself, create and collect hundreds of posts, ready for them to post on the day we choose for the trend.

They can be short, like this one:

“The risk of suicidality is a better justification for killing the patient’s doctor than for killing the patient’s child.”

Or they can be as long as a blog post (or they can be a link to a blog post or article).

It would be easy enough to include a picture, at least a picture of an unborn baby, which should be easy enough to find. I am certain that adding a picture is worth the time. Though it would be better to do without a picture than to put the same picture on two different posts: people will not read the text if they think they already read it.

It is also better to do without a picture rather use a picture of a half clothed woman. I beg of you to avoid this: it does not speak anything good about this cause, not in the eyes of God, who is the only reason we are doing this.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians 6:9

Ireland is probably our only chance to help keep abortion out of a nation before it is allowed.

Thank you for what you have done before!

God be with us, and God defend the helpless.

Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
Proverbs 31:8

How did the rally go, Patrick?
