"The time to fight is the primaries. We need to wipe these RINOS off the map."
I've been involved in Republican politics since 1988. I can tell you that here in East Texas, the RINOs are making their move. Two weeks ago, I went to our county convention and was saddened to see just a handful of delegates.
Years ago, we had each delegate seat and each alternate seat filled. Hundreds of people attended. We had some very fiery debates, especially about pro-life issues. Now, the RINOs are taking over the party and are pushing for moderation.
For me this immigration issue is the straw that broke the camel's back. I will call and continue to all my representative and Senators until I'm on a first-name basis with their switchboard operators.
Today, Rush Limbaugh mentioned that the Hispanic population is only 6% of the total US population. It's time that the "silent majority" is silent no more.

Not sure where Rush got the 6% Hispanic figure. We were recently told that the Hispanics now outnumber African_Americans in the USA, and African-Americans account for 15%. It's possible that the 6% refers to illegal Hispanics.

I'm a fairly new conservative, and I haven't been involved in the primaries before. I have no excuse not to be now. I think we're all fighting mad. It's simply a matter of channeling that anger in productive ways.
I've given up on writing and e-mailing. I'm with you: call them until you know them. Seems to be the best way of making your voice heard.
