Now, some might say: But! What about being involved in primaries? Writing your congressman? Donating to good conservative causes?

All of these are political activism, not cultural activism.

Politics is downstream from culture. - Andrew Breitbart

Culture is the correct thing to prioritize, politics when you/I can.

LibriVox? Never heard of LibriVox. Is that a conservative or libertarian echo chamber?

Be generous with your friends and neighbors and with charity work. Be of good cheer and spread it. Stop thinking politics is going to do anything good except by accident, that’s not its purpose. Its purpose is to use YOU to enrich and empower politicians, their family members and friends in high places because they can return favors with riches. Not even Trump can do much about the state of affairs. To change the world, change yourself.

For a short list of recent audio books:

History of the Rise, Progress and Termination of the American Revolution, by Mercy Otis Warren (in 3 volumes) https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4176756/posts

Children’s book of patriotic stories: The spirit of ‘76 by Dickinson and Dickinson https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4135466/posts

Memoir, Correspondence and Miscellanies, Volume I, from the papers of Thomas Jefferson https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4078147/posts

The Life and Times of Joseph Warren https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4189418/posts

Books almost complete: Patrick Henry, Benjamin Rush, “The Lives of the Signers”(Declaration; Short biographies), several others.

I would like to do more with regard to other Founders as well, for those who might find such a thing interesting.

Withdraw consent from this culture, in any way you can. Not a dime to Hollywood. Not a dime to professional sports. Not a dime to big music labels. Don’t patronize any business which has stated explicitly collectivist views. Explain your position - politely - to anyone who asks. Never argue with the uninformed, it doesn’t work. Just state what you believe and why. Those who have ears to hear will listen, and understand.

Are you anywhere near Hillsdale, either its main location in Michigan or its DC grad school? Maybe you could approach them and find an individual willing to talk to you. You could explain how much research you have done, and ask if they have any suggestions for you, or if they have any writing projects they want done.

Same with Heritage Foundation, ACLJ, American Enterprise Foundation,, Mark Levin, or Regnery Publishing.

Teach children and young people.

I don't mean have children or become a public school teacher, I mean teach Sunday School or Children's Church or start a small craft class aimed at kids or young adults.

I teach a six week "practical kitchen skills" class twice a year. Most of my student in the summer are high school students who are going off to start their lives as adults but my winter class gets a lot of young people who are already out on their own.

Do I talk politics?

No.

Do I teach people how to be independent and think for themselves?

Yes.

Teach basic home maintenance. Car maintenance. How to win friends and influence people. Read stories at the local libraries. Not just to kids. Adults like to have stories read to them as well. (Which fits in with your audio books).

Interact with your community. Local. Because global is way downstream from local. And if bad things happen, local is who you will have to depend on for help.
