BURNIN' DOWN THE TENT!!!
Do we want action? Yes, we do!!!
Are we willing to take a giant step forward and create a central action site that allows us to see at a glance every single state’s candidates for national office, House and Senate, to separate the wheat from the chaff? That is our hope. We want to spend our money, our time, and our votes wisely. Our time is JUST as valuable as the money we spend.
The goal is to take back and take over the GOP, or move it out of the way, and elect conservatives to every office we can affect whether the RNC likes it or not.
To do this, we need a clearinghouse and a plan of action that encompasses all 50 states in ONE place. That place is Free Republic. THIS is where we nationalize the 2010 election cycle and choose where our money and our time is spent. The genius of Free Republic is that it already has the 50 state message boards. We don’t have to “google” our way through hundreds of candidates in individual states to find out who is who doing what. It’s already here, just not out in the public eye. This will change that.
I, and others, have repeatedly asked Freepers to present workable ideas with this goal in mind, and there have been many, but the two I am going to post here are comprehensive, have been well thought out over a long period of time, and the magic of it is that it has never been tried before...and THAT is precisely why it will work.
Freeper blueyon, (the originator of RINO FREE AMERICA PROJECT on FaceBook,) and I have worked on the idea to have each state message board create individual STATE BY STATE threads on the forum which presents information ONLY about their national congressional candidates.
We need their candidates’ names, pictures, platforms, voting records, (if applicable,) backgrounds, opinions, newslinks, statements, and whatever other information might be available including links to candidate’s’ websites if they exist.
The state message boards are full of much of this information and no one knows local politics like the locals. It’s time to make local politics national, and here is where we do it. Fifty states, fifty threads, ALL politics will be Free Republic Local politics.
Freepers have the best researchers in the business. We need that right here, right now if we are going to burn down the RINO tent and do it effectively. They will NOT be allowed to silence us again.
Those threads will be information only. Conservative candidates will be flagged and RINOs will be tagged. Anyone who wishes to debate or discuss individual candidates can start a separate thread for that here, AND/OR on the RINO FREE discussion board on FaceBook as well.
I expect these threads to become lengthy, so be sure to add the state and candidate's name as keywords.
The SECOND part of this plan is a NATIONAL strategy for accomplishing our goal once we have singled out the candidates we choose to support and gather THOSE candidates on to ONE thread. It is our intent to coordinate efforts with the National Tea Party Movement and have them link to our information as well as share whatever info they might have that we don’t...although I find that next to impossible knowing Freepers. There just might be tidbits of inside information we might not have access to, so contributions from outside Freeperdom will be researched by us FOR us and we will do well not to post rumor or inuendo if we have no proof.
The National Action plan is the sole hard work of a longtime Freeper who has asked to remain anonymous. It is his work and since he first sent it to me, he has updated it several times for the better. I neither take, nor deserve, any credit for it whatsover, and only on that basis did I accept the invitation to present it as I saw fit.
I have opted to make only the smallest changes to his ideas as they seem to me to be the stepstones of the future. However he did specifically ask that any constructive criticisms or additional ideas be sought and wants it known that this is a foundation we can build on. He has added reasons, including some from Scripture, for these ideas which are included in the body of information presented below. Many of you will find them relevant. Those who don’t will still find the ideas themselves worth your time. I am awed by the effort put forth here which is why I have left it pretty much in tact with minimal edits. I think you will be as well.
With that said, and without further adieu, continue on and see what ideas suit you best.
Yes.
Thankfully it is a bit away from us.
One hour travel time or so.. I think.
I will side with Marlowe on this one with some holdbacks.
First, we must not violate the free expression clause for one, because someone will find a reason to violate it against me. Once you’ve made and opening, you’ve made an opening.
Holdback #1 - This must not be connected to profiling terrorists. Profiling is a legitimate means of determining security risks for everything from airplane flights to top secret clearances. Just because Abdul gets to pray on his rug does not mean I am not allowed to investigate Abdul for Jihadist ties.
Holdback #2 - Free expression must not be connected to subversion of law due to any Islamic religious desire to institute Sharia law in local or regional communities, nor should it be connected to any subversion to replace our form of government with any type of caliphate or anything else.
Are you a man?
Islam is a form of government. They WILL take over from within.
The Founders would not recognize their creation anymore.
I spent some time around Southport, NC. There's an old church ruin near there at Old Brunswick town. It was built originally around 300 years ago. Now, it is just a monument to some of those who left religious persecution, to come to a better place. My antecedents were Episcopalians, but I worship God now, myself. They've fallen off into homosexuality and open sin.
There were Roman Catholics that came here to one place, and Calvinists and Puritans that landed elsewhere, to escape the trouble brewing in their homelands. They all worshipped God as they saw fit. The original colonies were models of religious enclave. I doubt you would have gotten much agreement on the same matter from them. Many of them were ATHEISTS.
ALL men are created equal. It's not mine to define "men". God did that before we were a spark in our parents mind! Do you wish to promote tyranny and anarchy> I prefer to hang onto what we're got and defend it.
The First Amendment reads:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
From Proud Atheists site, I copied these thoughts. I am a Chrisian, but I was looking for words better than my own...:
The Second Amendment affords us the “right to bear arms”, but in no way does it require any type of firearms ownership…nor is gun ownership a requirement to run for public office.
Our Constitution was written and tailored to afford us personal freedoms, not requirements to submit under peer pressure to conform to religious views and laws.
I'll take it a step further. Attempt to exclude Islam and the bill will die immediately and be replaced with one that restricts Christianity.
But Islam does not recognize our laws at all.
None.
Any muslim who does not follow sharia is a bl;asphemer and ‘worse than an infidel’.
That is what their beliefs are.
You don’t get it.
ISLAM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE CONSTITUTION OR LAWS OUTSIDE OF THEIR OWN.
How hard is that to understand?
Really, how hard is that?
and PTN near our military?! major red flags, please post at TM, we will follow it with our crack sleuths
I said, “Send them back. Simple.”
P-Marlowe said, “Back where? I believe that most American Muslims were born here. If there is no country to send them back to, what would you suggest? Rounding them up and putting them in camps?”
Send them back, send them anywhere.
The fact that you ask a question like that, when you have yet to answer the 21 questions listed in http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2423796/posts?page=517#517 means you argue in bad faith.
Like Muslims.
Bad Faith = P-Marlowe.
P-Marlowe asks questions while answering none, scorns and never offers solutions that think past one level, mimics CAIR, puts words in mouths, makes red-herrings, handwaver, evader, avoider, accuser.
P-Marlowe said, “I can’t believe I am reading some of this stuff on FREE REPUBLIC!”
I say, “We need licenses to drive cars, fly planes, and conceal and carry guns. Why should there not be any earthly qualification other than age and a pulse to vote? Do you let your kids drive? Do you let them drink? Do you let them stay out till 3am? You don’t? You anti-freedom, anti-constitutional fascist!!! I can’t believe you belong to a forum called FREE REPUBLIC! FReepmail me your address so I can sign you up for the newsletter from “Tyrant’s Weekly”.”
And it burns, burns, burns, this ring of fire....
As the flames rise higher!
Holdback #2 - Free expression must not be connected to subversion of law due to any Islamic religious desire to institute Sharia law in local or regional communities, nor should it be connected to any subversion to replace our form of government with any type of caliphate or anything else.
No disagreement at all.
Let's remember that there are Americans of European ancestry who openly profess to be satanic. Some believe that satanism allows for human sacrifice. They can BELIEVE that all they want, but when they do it they are breaking the law.
Our objection is to a theocracy getting a foothold in this country. Muslims don't blend. Radicals build their own cities.
You don’t get it.
Islam does not recognize the constitution or laws outside of their own, PERIOD.
WHY is this so hard to understand?
No, I get your intent. I disagree with you vehemently. You wish to take away the rights of ALL Islamists in America, because some wish to pervert our way of life. How exactly do you propose to do that within the framework of the Constitution?
If you stand a Roman Catholic in front of a firing squad, do you think a good Roman Catholic would say of course St. Peter isn't holding the keys? To a Christian, our first allegiance is to God, then man. If that is what you learned as a baby, how can you divest it on a whim? Ask a Catholic to explain that, if you don't understand.
FRiend, you wish to change the Constitution. I don't. It's just got to be restored to it's proper place, then Virginia can send them packing to Missouri, and they can all be shipped to Nome. All it takes is one state to say welcome to all, and to all a good night! That's what the Tenth is all about!
MOST Excellent points!!!
