This needs to be hit hard!

Calls and Fax's to our representatives need to be made, but that is not enough.

This is an election year!
I strongly encourage everyone who wants to see this travesty fail to get involved with the formal party structure.

The party depends on it's grassroots organizations.
Most states will be having their county precinct meetings very soon.
If you attend you can submit and vote on items for the party platform.
Attendance may also make you eligible to attend the state party convention, where you get to vote on what stays in the platform.

You see where I am headed here?

The national platform is compiled from the state platforms.
If enough state platforms contain a strong plank against this "amnesty" by that or any other name, the national platform should do the same.
If we can get that plank passed conservatives in congress will have to take note of it, which should insure certain defeat for any amnesty bill.

We must become more active in the party structure in order to move it back toward honest conservatism. This amnesty is not honest, of conservative!

I am tired of being taken for granted, I feel like I am being given a choice between a broken arm and a broken leg, with the party telling me I have to support them no matter what they do in order to avoid two broken legs later!

And yes, I am attending my local republican party precinct meeting tonight.

Good.

And, if you have a GOP Congressman, call his/her office in a neutral tone, and ask what his position is on the President's immigration plan. If waffling or positive, give 'em the shaft, if opposed, tell them you will get EVERY ONE OF YOUR VOTING FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO RETURN THEM TO CAPITOL HILL ON ACCOUNT OF IT.

Not only political platforms (which mean nothing when it comes to policy) but also the reelection fortunes of the congresscritters. Key.

"And yes, I am attending my local republican party precinct meeting tonight."

I await a full report (honestly).

The timing is perfect - please let us know what the general consensus on this is.

Grass roots BUMP!
