3. Run for every open GOP seat and party position. There are some 300,000 FReepers. That’s more than enough to control the party apparatus in every state. Run, run and win.

Better still, primary EVERY GOP officeholder.

Harder to do. We need to develop a stronger bench. We need to learn to win elections and play the long game. The real action is going to happen in the marketplace and in local/county/state government.

Start here: http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/

If every FReeper agreed to set aside $25/year x 300,000 = $7.5 million. That’s a lot of money for outreach.

If just 350 conservatives in each county in a state agreed to donate a dollar a day toward political victory you’d have nearly $128,000 to run a campaign to win a seat or district.

That’s all doable. Dave Brat won with less than $100K IIRC. Start winning school board races, municipal races, county races, etc. One thoughtful person can move an entire state. It’s happened before.

American politics can turn on a dime. We have to play hard and smart. It’s a long game.
