I'd like to offer an alternative solution. The GOP currently in office are taking their base for granted. They know that, in November, most of us will, despite our threats to the contrary, turn out to oppose the election of Democrats to office. Let's face it, staying home, voting third party, or voting Democrats in is a lose-lose proposition, both for Republicans AND for the US.

So, let's turn this into a win-win. Rather than be forced into a squeeze play by 'Pubbie pols who have forgotten how they got to Washington, let's replace them with a new class of conservatives who know what the Constitution says, who undersatnd what the legal system is for, who know the value and importance of American citizenship and understand the effort required to earn/save a dollar. Let's replace the current crop of arrogant, political elitists with conservatives who will enact restraints on the budget and let the President know that Americans don't want their borders opened to an invading army of illegals who disrespect our laws and our sovereignty.

Between now and November, let's find, fund, and elect a new group of conservative politicians who understand what the rule of law means, what a government of the people, by the people and for the people means, and whose vote can't be bought by any union, PAC, or organization.

In November, let's take our government AND our country back!!! But, we need to start today.

The problem with this is the well-oiled political machines on both the Dem/Rep sides. Anyone who tries to start a primary run is discouraged and they attempt to block them at every turn. People are more worried about pork and getting seniority so their senator can be on different committees, like my own Arlen Specter. You have virtually no chance of running against an incumbent from your own party in a primary and winning.

You're plan is a good one, but it's probably too late for this year's elections. Many of the primary filing dates are already past or approaching too quickly to mount a serious primary challenge.

I think a better approach would be to go after the Senate and House Reps who stand with the illegals. If they support amnesty let the voters know so they can vote against them. Focus on the traitors, regardless of party.

Start by making flyers saying these people support illegals over Americans and legal immigrants. Then list them. Also list their opponents' names. This could really get the pols attention.

And don't look for media coverage. Just take it upon yourself to pass out the flyers. Look to do a couple hundred a week. It's not that expensive. Add some pro-American website addresses for them to get more info. Do not coordinate with any candidate and stay within the stupid McCain-Feingold rules. If enough of us do this, it could kick out a number of the pro iilegal pols.
