Has: The Republican Study Committee "done" anything?

If so, where are they or their results? The point was not a "study committee," the name tells you what we are talking about, in essence. I am trying to find a way out of the fog, what is needed is an action committee.

My point was a concept, it may be a stupid idea, but the alternative for me at this point is: 1) Do not vote, 2) vote write-in, 3) vote third party =#1 do not vote.

For some, who have worked for years, (decades), to get where we are, post-Reagan, this is unacceptable.

Did you go to the link?

The reason they called it the "Republican Study Committee" was not because they just sit around and read books and trade clever bon mots, but as a direct response to the "Democratic Study Committee" which was the liberal caucus that brought so many of the liberal/socialists members of the Democrat party to prominence in the 70's.

The RSC has done a bunch of things. Many of its members and leaders have gone on to play bigger roles such as Tom Delay and Mike Pence.

So the RSC is exactly what you are aksing for, it has already been done, and it is doing some good.

However, congressmen are human beings who make friends with other congressmen no matter how far they differ on issues. They also have to get reelected and so they can't always afford to stand on principle all the time.

What we need is something we as regular party hacks can do and I believe I have a very good and workable idea that might have some effect on the election.
