I hear you, unfortunately recent history hasn’t been very favorable for 3rd parties. I think many of us have just finally reached our limit and want to do “something”. We have to carry a lot of weight for the Republican party; I think its time we get their attention. I know
We need to find a real issue and get help from divergent groups—Like the ones that defeated Gay Marriage out in California Land. We need something with the same power as Slavery had with the Republicans—How about Anti-Abortion? Rights for the Unborn? Adoption Freedom? Save the Babies?
This issue would cut across the religious boundaries—Its a moral issue and one that could unify many. Don’t Kill Your Baby! This has the same power in our day as Slavery had as an issue in the 1850s.
