There is a small group of Freepers who agreed to help post and sheppard the articles or threads that describe the various parts of the plan, why each part is necessary and how it will be implemented. Until you see and understand each of the parts, it will not be possible to see the beauty or the power of the whole plan itself. The whole is substantially greater than the sum of the parts, but each part is an essential piece in its own right. A hard drive is one hell of a device. So is a motherboard, a processor, or all the peripherals that go with a computer. Even with all the pieces, it still takes an operating system and an operator or network of operators to turn it all into a wonder to behold. And when we have enough networked operators focusing their attention on a common task, we could end up with a FreeRepublic super computer capable of restoring the Constitution. Until now, no one has been able to assemble an entity (group, organization, call it a machine for lack of a better word) capable of tackling this task. We think we have the plan for such a device and now we are attempting to bring together and assemble the various pieces needed to make it happen.
Our plan is going to need a train-load of indians to make it work. We already have somebody in mind to be Chief. Getting the Chief onboard is actually part of the plan and one of the tasks that the indians will have to complete if this plan is ever going to get on track.
Man doesn't invent anything that is perfect. By definition, the things created by man are flawed. We need indians to look for the things that will be needed that we have overlooked or omitted and we need indians to look at each piece of the plan from the perspective of what can each indian do to improve the design or function of that piece. Our electronic forum looks like the best drawing board around.
The majority of FReepers seem content with posting to threads, excepting those who do Street FReeps. Other than that, I don't see a lot of action coming out of FR. Not sure if that's a bad thing, frankly. We all have jobs and lives, etc. Having a place to come blow off steam, associate with a few other like-minded people, and have a little fun on the internet serves a purpose, I guess. But it would be nice to see more meaningful, well-coordinated conservative action come out of this forum.
So, again, good luck with your effort!
Sounds like a "Been there; done that" comment. I too, have participated in several unsuccessful efforts to organize a meaningful effort on FreeRepublic to take our country back. We are not alone; history has a habit of repeating. Here are some relevant quotes:
"I'll read them all over this coming weekend." Post #54
Stick to your decision to read the series over the weekend. It takes roughly an hour to read straight through, a little more if you like to think through the various ramifications of each feature of the plan.
There are very few people, whether conservative or not, that do not have some appreciation for the greatness of Ronald Reagan. The Founders and Ronald Reagan shared a belief in God and prayed for Divine Providence. Even the agnostics will admit that the United States has been "blessed" with an extraordinary history. When the chips are down or when the need is greatest, countless American heroes and patriots have risen to the occasion. I don't know what it will take to reawaken this sleeping giant, but people would do well to reread all of the quotes above again and then read or listen to a "Time for Choosing" with a lot of reflection on President Reagan's motivation to come forward with that speech. President Reagan single handedly won the Cold War and very likely ended the threat of nuclear extinction, but the message of a Time for Choosing relates to our domestic problems, not foreign threats.
When Gorbachev rose to power, President Reagan saw the chance to end the insane policy of MAD. He considered his options and made the deliberate choice to take advantage of the opening with the Soviet Union and plainly left the job of finishing his domestic agenda to successors. Republicans, and conservatives including Freepers, have not risen to the occasion in spite of the fact that we are running out of time.
The plan we are putting forward can finish President Reagan's unfinished agenda. As you will see, we do not have to convince millions of Americans overnight. We only have to convince the man that Ronald Reagan chose to lead such an effort after his successor dropped the ball. We don't have to convince even a majority of FreeRepublic to succeed. We only need to get enough Freepers to send enough emails or make enough phone calls to contact President Reagan's designated choice who hasn't gotten the message yet. If Divine Providence still guides the United States, he will get the message. If he doesn't, then God help us all.
The link below will make the series easier to follow. Rather than starting with the summary, I suggest starting with the Another Reagan? article and following the links at the bottom of each page. Save the summary until last. Anybody who starts with the summary first runs the risk of not understanding or not appreciating the incredible political power that this plan quickly generates.
Nobody has to take to the streets or carry banners. This is the Information Age and the Reagan Renaissance is only a few mouse clicks away.
I'm on it NOW . . .
Thanks for all your hard work and thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I am with you, I think your analysis is on the mark, and I pray it bears fruit.

I wish the answer was a simple "no". Unfortunately, it is worse than that. I came very close to contacting Rush twice, once through his brother and once through his chief of staff. Both ended not only in failure, but also in alienating his chief of staff and his brother, the very people upon whom he depends the most. I realized that if another opportunity ever presented itself, it would take a compelling argument to overcome the barriers that I have already created. The Reagan Renaissance was the result of trying to find the answer to that need for a compelling argument.
Given a couple of hours eyeball to eyeball with Rush and my laptop, I can answer any questions he might have about the Reagan Renaissance and convince him of its merits. He doesn't need Excellence in Golf or me to make the Reagan Renaissance a reality. It will stand on its own merits and his inherent political instincts. EIG adds considerably to his capacity to fund the Reagan Renaissance. It should be one of those feathers he can add to his "having more fun that a human being should be allowed to have" cap. No guess work would be involved. The testing program will provide the proof; balls struck with EIG clubs will finish closer to the hole than any other golf clubs, or they won't. If it works, the risk/reward ratio of $150,000 to more than a billion and the odds at nine to one that it will work are simply beyond extraordinary.
I'm the goat or the fly in the ointment. Finding the means to get Rush to spend an hour on my website and then grant me the couple of hours needed to answer any unanswered questions or address his remaining concerns, have the potential to allow Rush to finish what Ronald Reagan started. Not figuratively speaking, but literally, the Reagan Renaissance puts the wherewithal needed to restore the Constitution squarely into Rush hands. Rush can resolve Franklin's concern in the affirmative. We the people can restore our republic and then We can keep it for another century. Rush is simply the catalyst who can provide the leadership that gets government off the backs of the people. Unchain the American people and over the next century it is the American people who will produce a renaissance that will prove to be the greatest period of peace and prosperity in the history of the world.
Ronald Reagan knew we were on the wrong course and he generally knew which direction we needed to steer, but he did not know the precise compass heading nor did he know the most direct means of how to find it. The Reagan Renaissance plan provides the answers. Our best years can still be ahead of us; Rush only needs to do is listen to Ronald Reagan.. "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness."
I have had a lot of time to think about the question of whether Rush is the only Captain that can put our ship back on course. Far be it from me to be so presumptuous as to say that no one else can do it. But I am convinced that no one else can do it as easily, as quickly or with more certainty of success. Regardless of whether you believe its the Divine Hand of Providence or Adam Smith's Invisible Hand, or both, that guided the Founders and the first five or six generations of Americans that followed, the Reagan Renaissance and Excellence in Golf fit Rush Limbaugh like tailor made gloves.
Having been on the receiving end of some of my Conservative, FR brothers' utter contempt for anyone who even "appears" to slightly disagrees with them; I must say I agree with this article and the premise laid out by yourself.
Thanks for the post and for your comments.
no dems
thanks.
My thanks to no dems too for your comment...Signed TPT's real Sis!
My sister, PurpleMountainsMaj, added a link to her profile page to an old "Newcomers Welcome Center and Information Desk" thread where I had linked to the "Coalition Op Center" thread, where, once upon a time, RJayneJ and I tried to organize a coalition of FReepers to expose election fraud here at FR (referenced in post #64, this thread). I intended to provide a link in post #64 but couldn't find it in the archives!
Here's a link to the original thread: [FReeper Coalition to Expose Election Rigging]
and here's one to the Op Center thread: [Coalition Op Center]
Hmmmmmm . . .:o)
"Amazing coincidence:"
Amazing yes tis! coincidence...I wouldn't use those two words together...But I know what you mean! Wow!
Glad it was a timely help. Amazing indeed!
LY,TPT!
Thanks for the ping!
Way to go, Purple Mountains Maj! And thank you for the memories and encouragements, dear TPartyType.
I was having the best time looking back at the old "Newcomers Welcome Center" threads! That was such a nice and fun way to greet newbies . . ..
I haven't had any time to spend at FR recently nor do I expect to be able to devote any time for it until maybe the middle of next week. But I have a couple of ideas kicking around in the back of mind. I will try to get them down on paper and posted to my website as quickly as I can. I will send you a link as soon as there has been enough fleshed out to discuss.
Indeed it was!
