There are so many facets that cause people to become frustrated and angry. If we are going to get anything accomplished we need to get away from the rhetoric that divides and unite in action.
There are those who will work to get 0 out of office...only alternative as of now is unfortunately wmr.
BUT for those who do NOT want to activily support him there are Senate seats and congressional districts that need help.
Can proudly say we got rid of Rino Lugar and nominated a more conservative senatorial delegate here in IN. Replaced a D for an R, Todd Young for our congressional representative. Both should win easily here as well as Mik Pence for GOvernor.
OTOH for many it is too late, primaries have already determined the candidates, BUT we can support the least liberal in our own districts and/or assist candidates in neighboring districts and/or States.
We simply need to get organized and help FRiends see their options.
Am sure JR would see this as activism and help establish a place on the sidebar to promote our efforts.
You are absolutely right. I was at my Kiwanis breakfast meeting yesterday when this decision came down. A member simply interrupted our guest speaker’s presentation by saying (he was looking at his smartphone) that the SC upheld ObamaCare. Period, paragraph. You should have heard the consternation, some of us having to get up and leave the room in frustration. And there were over 40 of us in the room (though a few are more liberal...).
Ironically, our guest speaker was our state representative from Springfield (IL); a good conservative and one known to us for many years. What he came to talk about yesterday was the frustration he feels daily in the workings of the legislature, yet an upbeat assessment on how the Republicans are working cohesively to change things. And they have been successful in some areas. Sure, we have a lot to overcome here in Illinois, not to mention Washington, but it’s up to us to get the job done. We have to have the motivation, the will, and the excitement to take this fight to the next level.
As I’ve indicated in a few posts on this subject this a.m., there are some areas that we can focus on in taking this fight forward. We have to present a cohesive message to our representatives and those who are running for office, we have to make voting Obama out of office a mandate; both for Romney and Congress as a whole. And we have to hold their feet to the fire. We can do it. Our one major obstacle, IMO, is the absence of support or coverage from the MSM. But I think we can overcome that if Congress, and Romney, gets the message out about this being an election based on the largest tax increase in America’s history, and the fact that Americans, for the first time, will be taxed on their inaction.
Let’s get it done!
