How can an influential grass roots movement toward conservative principles be allowed to germinate and win the hearts and minds of the electorate in a nation held captive by a leftist socialist controlled media and in a world that has embraced the leftist ideology as its creed? How can such a movement take hold if we are not allowed to openly express our dissent over policies that are inconsistent with the principles contained in our Constitution or even with the principles contained in conservative common sense?

The only hope we have to overcome these obstacles rests in the courage of those who dare to speak out against the direction this Country is being taken by their elected representatives. I strongly believe in the concept of government Constitution over party. I think people are perfectly capable of handling the duality of loyalty for the war effort without having to blindly accept leftist socialist dogma.

I think such a movement could germinate if we take our message directly to the people. If you look at the case of Bill Salier in Iowa, you had a farmer from a town of about 5,000 people (if that) getting 42% of the vote against a sitting congressman. Salier did it with virtually no money, no staff and no press. He just took his case to the people. Would a strategy like that work in a larger state? Probably not, but using it in the smaller states is a good start.
