A call for Conservatives to get Organized and Activated!

As long as the rabid left has hundreds of billions of dollars in our tax money to f--- up the country, we have no way to stop them. What we REALLY need are pro bono conservative lawyers to beat them in court again and again and again, plus a way to get our messages out through the obscuring spray of vomit spewed by the NYT, etc. Libs have hundreds of thousands of professional trouble-makers and rent-a-crowd people to gather in 24 hours notice to hold professionally-made signs and wear professionally-made t-shirts, all paid for with your tax money, through hundreds of vile groups like Planned Parenthood and The New Black Panthers and AWARE and so on.

We are far better off, IMO, by contributing to and supporting conservative politicians, especially at the local level. And confronting Lib pols whenever possible. Tip O'Neil once said, "All politics is local." He was only half-right. All politics is personal.

"...if you are not involved at the local level do NOT complain."

I've been involved for years and years and get to "complain".
I was the central coordinator for the first Free Republic sponsored event called, "March For Justice".
I have been on streets with a bullhorn in my hand for other causes (local and fed);
I have been to other Free Republic activities for both local and Fedgov;
I have contributed to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) as far back as 1987, when no one realized the growing problem;
I was a Minuteman for the Southwest and went to Tombstone to patrol the border;
I helped the co-founder (Jim Gilchrist) to help build his database.
I've done more local stuff, but I won't go on.

I've done my part, but no longer believe that local politics is the answer. People who aspire to politics are those who want control whatever their ideology, even if in THEIR minds they believe they are doing good. They always think that change will be for the good. In their need for betterment or relevancy they never look at the untended consequences down the road.

You ask what's my solution? Here it is:

MULTI-STATE NULLIFICATION.

That would not only wake up DC, but would have a big impact from there down to the local city council. Those States who did such, could possibly change the system.

I have many other ideas, but won't go into them again as I have for years on this board. However, I will continue to "complain" about the state of our Nation, and the state of my State (CA), and the state of our local City Council and Planning Commission.

Although most politicians take an Oath to support and defend the United States Constitution, it is just words so they can bring about their misguided CHANGE. That word is not an Obambi concept; he just took it further than others.

We needed little CHANGE to our system as was put in place in 1787.

"So what will Conservatives advocate once they get rid of Obamacare? and immigrants? Sounds kind of empty."

I could write an essay to reply, but instead will refer you to "President Ronald Reagan" and his words about a shining city on the hill. If just ONE Republican candidate mirrored President Reagan in the next general election, we might have a chance to turn things around.

But no: the Doles, McCains, Rommneys have forgotten why Reagan beat Carter so badly. We were in a "malaise", as we are NOW. Reagan gave us genuine hope.

Yes, we had a large "gimme" class even then, but some voted for Reagan because they knew he would take us back to our greatness. Who doesn't love a great coach? Remember Reagan Democrats? Many are still there. It's just a matter of sincerity and oration (the style or manner in which such a speech is given.), which Obambi has lots of to fool the ill-informed. If we are to reclaim our Republic, we need such an orator. If not...

MULTI-STATE NULLIFICATION OF FEDGOV LAWS!

“1). Hold gatherings on weekends or holidays. Saturdays are the most preferable; simply choosing this day of the week will swell our numbers considerably
2). Give plenty of notice of the event – so there is enough time for people to hear of the event and plan to attend”

Really?
Those are your ideas on how to plan conservative protests and events?

That has never worked in the past, and will not work in the future.
What does work are old fashioned FReeper counter-protests, and supportive designated “action days”, such as the Chik FiL A buy-cott.

Since many conservatives work for a living, I think a national “income tax boycott” might be very effective.

Say, starting September 30, everyone who has a job, submits a revised W-9 to their employer, and everyone claims 17 exemptions.
(In honor of the dead SEALs of mission Extortion 17 )
On October 31, we can all go back under the complete controll of the IRS...if we want, after we all determine we made an accounting error.... Tell me, what do you think of that idea?

"If we are to reclaim our Republic, we need such an orator. If not... MULTI-STATE NULLIFICATION OF FEDGOV LAWS! "

I agree with you that the GOP needs a Reagan but don't agree that we should turn into a banana republic if the GOP can't find one. Reagan won with the support of Reagan Democrats, as you mentioned. Republican since then just keep voting to export the jobs of the Reagan Democrats. Apparently a good Wall Street is more valuable than winning elections.

No, those are some basic parameters to maximize our numbers.

There is almost no point in having a little publicized event on a weekday that few can attend – in fact it can be counterproductive in that the Leftists will seize on a small turnout.

The Leftists have the media than can spin 10 people showing up as one hundred, we can’t.
