Don’t blame you for worrying about all this stuff. And you’re not alone.
I believe we can make a difference - make a list of ALL new representatives who are conservative or are a much better alternative than the current Rep - find out their campaign websites and send money like $10 for Tarkanian...He’s running against Harry Reid - we need to throw Harry out and money is key in a big race and in 2010 every race NEEDs to be a BIG race. I’m not for sending to the RNC because they tend to back RINOs, so make your lists, hopefully FreeRepublic will have a 2010 senate and house race list we can get updates on and MAKE A DIFFERENCE in 2010. Prayer is most effective though (James 5 - new testament)
IMO, the danger is very real. As Americans, we’ve never had to experience totalitarianism or such a real and substantive change to our system of governmen, and we don’t know how to respond. We’re accustomed to doing the writing campaign and thinking about a change in administration four years down the road. What if there’s no opportunity four years down the road? obama promised to fundamentally change our nation, and he told us how we would do it - and very few were listening. What to do? I’ve found that one of my senators is surprisingly receptive to hearing my opinion - but she’s not changing her position on anything. The other senator - petitioning him is like beating your head against a wall. He’s too entrenched in the system, and his family is too. Are town hall meeting the answer? They’ve been effective so far.
I get discouraged at times too, UNTIL I REALIZE
NOT ONE THING HAS PASSED YET!
