ResistNet is a Web site, that says it is "the online community for patriotic citizens who are opposing the Obama-led socialist agenda with a patriotic, idea-based, conservative resistance." It's "About Us" page is not a valid URL (as of August 13, 2009). The site contains no contact information (phone, address, or email) for ResistNet but does provide a way to donate and the site sells "resistance gear" (tote bags, etc.). Its home page constantly refers to Congressmembers' recess town hall discussions about health care reform as "Obamacare town hall" meetings, and calls health care reform proposals "Obamacare."
The site is created by a group called Grassfire.org,[1], a conservative issues advocacy group set up by Shirley & Banister Public Affairs. The president of Shirley & Bannister Public Affairs is Craig Shirley, a long-time Republican PR operative
