Let the Conservative Reformation begin! *vanity, sort of*

I'd like to promote a concensus of agenda to leverage the recent marvelous victories the conservative reformation has won.

I hope to encourage, on these issues and others you suggest, prioritizing, debate, refinement, strategy, sources of conservative thought pertaining to, representative-contacting campaigns -- in other words, a Plan to Get Things Done. Most of you are better at this sort of thing than I am so please join in a spirit of debate and constructive self-government!

Here are some of the issues that come to mind immediately:

repeal affirmative action quotas;
defeat homosexual legitimacy agenda;
restore honor for founders, founding documents, and God - the Founders' vision of America;
settle once and for all the specious debate about "separation of church and state" by education;
clarification and promotion of President Bush's vision of "ownership society";
defeat of abortion rights;
overhaul and accountability in public school curricula;
repeal of "hate crimes" legislation;
repeal of sexual orientation recognition and preference legislation;
recast the debate on pornography away from a first ammendment issue;
promote parenthood, familyhood, decency,protection of innocence and personal responsibility -- or at least, defeat legislative and propogandistic efforts to undermine them;

Join the discussion! Let's take this historic opportunity to excercise constructively the rights that The Founders secured for us, that our troops are fighting to affirm, and do them proud! We are the government, so lets give our representatives OUR mandate!

Maybe someone can adopt an issue and spearhead the debate on it with the goal to producing an actionable agenda.

Freedom is not the right to do what we want, but what we ought. Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us; to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

I think the wisdom of vision of the "Ownership Society" might be captured by this quote from Abraham Maslow (from 1964):

"The most valuable 100 people to bring into a deteriorating society ... would be not 100 chemists, or politicians, or professors, or engineers, but rather 100 entrepreneurs."

How about defeating the theocratic agenda?

GREAT QUOTE! Even if entrepreneur is a French word....

So--stifling entrepreneurship could lead to further deterioration of a society? Anybody want to chip in and form a Venture Capital Fund for Muslim Inventors? Nahhhhh.
