Get involved. Become a precinct chair. Find candidates worthy of your support and help them. If they don’t win the first time, try again. We have not just turned a majority of state legislatures Republican, we have also retooled the Republican party. The job is not finished, but we have made great progress.
There is no magic wand to clean up this mess, only you and I working with vigilance and determination. We allowed this mess to coagulate with our negligence and failure of civic duty.
Complaining isn’t enough. Do your job as an American citizen and never stop. Evil never does; neither can you or I.

This third force movement was beyond the control of the Democrat Party machine and President John F. Kennedy.
It forced Kennedy to back away from the segregationists in his party.
Conservatives and Patriots need to galvanize into a third force movement to change things, to truly reduce government spending and regulations, not tinker with them like McConnell and Ryan do right now.
We are 20 trillion in the hole and it needs to stop.
The big banks and corporations want a welfare state and big government paid for by taxes on the little people.
Their control over the GOP must be broken, too.
Donald Trump is so good at ginning up the excitement with his tweets that the GOP politicos have to play catch up their fake show.
