It is a mistake to entirely depend on the election of a few virtuous people to solve our troubles. It is favored because it is an easy way out. We have fallen into the trap of thinking national elections alone can possibly reverse our course.

Consider how increasing numbers of Americans look at presidential elections. If a Leftist wins, we are to do as we are told, as if our purpose was to condone the appointment of a dictator. “Elections have consequences,” had become code for submitting to one man’s will.

By all means we should support conservatives to national office, but we must turn a portion of our attention to our state legislatures if we to possibly restore our freedoms.

I'm glad you expanded on your thoughts - I believe well rounded conservatives have always known this is a ground-up fight but view the big picture too.
