Well,I am heading to the State GOP Platform Convention
right now...if you are not involved at the local level do NOT complain.

Also...when your congresscritters do NOT hold legit Townhalls...organize them yourselves...put a pic of them in chair and then let ppl take to the mic and ask ??? Or make 1 min stmts...record it and send it to their office

Yes, don’t complain if you don’t get involved.

The oppressive Democratic party is in it for the long haul, we have to be in it to win it (sorry for the cliché).

"...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.
