I’ve contacted my representatives through the NRA, although the topic is not on their selected list. My aim is to bring this subject to an effective organization.
Which brings me to another subject. However commendable, however stirring and fearless, however much struggle has been made by butterdezillon, Seizethecarp, 2nd DivisionVet, Nachum et.al., they have given to illuminate this dark corner of our national psyche. A new organizing principle may be more effective in mobilizing our efforts, consistent with our conservative values. These missteps will only be repeated if we are not creative in providing avenues to attack our adversaries. In fact, I believe our efforts can be organized in full daylight of debate and construct strategies for a battlefield of ideas, before we become pawns on a real battlefield. In the meantime let us do what ever we can to individually support our above mentioned friends.
Fantastic idea and thank you for doing that.
The point you make is fantastic. I am not a networker. I am not comfortable working with people and I don’t have the self-confidence to be a leader of people. I am a researcher. I can dig out content long after everybody else has tired, but I am not a people person and desperately need somebody else to do that end of things. We need a way to mobilize people with true facts. This is where Soros’ threats to the conservative media have really, really hurt us - as has the death of Andrew Breitbart. The people who have the megaphones for “conservatives” don’t have (or won’t disseminate) the true facts on the issue that is the Achilles’ heel for Obama. And as long as we rely on “professionals” to inform and mobilize the people, we will be vulnerable to whoever threatens those professionals into silence.
Big issues we need to deal with. But I truly believe that if we don’t stop Obama before January 20th, this country is over and it’ll be too late to organize. As always, I hope I’m wrong in my fears, but I guess we’ll see. In any event, the time between now and January 20th is super, super critical.
As I mentioned in my letter to Congress (which pretty much only Johanns and Adrian Smith got to see), the 20th Amendment says that even after somebody is President-elect (which is after the certification of the electoral vote), that person can STILL “fail to qualify” by Jan 20th, and even if the whole Congress ignores all of this, my understanding is that one member of Congress could still challenge Obama’s ability to “act as President” based on the 20th Amendment. There is still time in the next week or two to try to mobilize our efforts in order to find somebody who will do this. And that’s where the Tea Party, NRA, etc would be really good groups to be networked with. But I’m too isolated and too socially beaten down to be able to do it - and just plain too busy. We need the networkers and people persons to step up and shine in all their glory. I will be SO glad to hand it over to them and take a very, very back seat.
