Nice, but it’s a 13 course meal, and people only have fast food drive-thru attention spans.

Reduce it down to two sentences, pithy, punchy, crystal clear, and compelling, and you’ll have something.

For example, my “conservative elevator speech” goes something like this:

“As a conservaitve, I believe in smaller government, lower taxes, fewer government regulations, and a strong national defense”.

Sure there’s more, but when I tell people this much, the initial reaction is eyes popping open and “Wow, can you say that again, that sounds pretty cool but I’m not sure I understood it!”.

It’s a drive-thru, remember...

Agree. Keep it simple and easy to “digest”, but reaches the core of the majority of Americans. Something that can be emailed, printed, distributed, etc. Not everyone “Facebooks” or “tweets”.

I was pretty clear that I didn’t say you toss all 13 at the same person. I said not all issues resonate with every person. You pick one or two that are relevant to a person. You can always bring up others along the way.

“As a conservaitve, I believe in smaller government, lower taxes, fewer government regulations, and a strong national defense”.

Remember to be prepared for the programmed response from the committed leftists, though. "So, you want to starve the poor, throw grandma into the streets, let the wealthy keep their ill-gotten gains, allow eeevil corporations to run roughshod over the consumer and poison the water and air, and start endless wars!"
