Anything even close to reforming or restructuring our government is not going to be an easy task. How many states are represented here at Free Republic? All of them and other countries to boot. At one time we had Chapter Leaders at I was one of them for Western New York. Thing I found out is we easily separate the wheat from the chaff. So many people are "Keyboard activists"....
During the whole creation of two key groups we created to take on Erie County government only a couple out of more that 50 got involved. We persevered and basically over threw the Republican establishment here and got a new Chairman who sought out Primary Challenge candidates for this years election and I am one of them.
We were successful in electing a reform Town Supervisor that has been shaking up the town of Amherst and a Democrat legislator that was a true independent voice and voted her convictions. We made a difference in the way Republicans are chosen and picked for office now.
How hard would it be to go National? I don't think it would be that hard, I am sure we still have the chapter leaders on a list. Two congressional candidates from even half or 3/4 of the states would shake the crap out of the Republican leadership. I think they would get the message. I am sure there are people out there that would step up to run against rinos like Specter in the senate too.... If I lived in PA I sure as hell would.
Get something going and see how and if it grows, I am sure Rush, Hannity, Beck would see what we are doing and jump on board. We need to at least give it a try, what do we have to loose except our country?
I’d rather focus on filling the RNC with hard nosed Conservatives and having the leadership discipline RINOs. This way there is accountability and top down maintenance of principles.
Time to bump this again. Further thoughts?
