There are still a few very good Conservatives in Congress, but they're a dying breed on the verge of extinction. We need to organize a grass-roots movement to support our good men and women in enemy territory.
We need to send them cards and letters, call their offices, offer encouragement and support and send them pizzas during filibusters.
Please, is there a reliable, organized FReeper who can organize an "Adopt a Cute Pubbie" program?
This FReeper needs to research and locate the true conservatives and the RINOS. They need to develop a list of of email addresses, phone numbers and addresses of loyal Conservatives. They need to run a daily thread directing efforts to support filibusters and provide encouragement to our loyal Conservatives still in Congress.
If there isn't a good Conservative in your district, then you can "adopt" a one from another district. They're going to need ALL of our support.
Is there anyone out there up to the task?
Do you have to use the “pubbie” word?
Since this is your idea, how about you do it?
No, you need to adopt a truly conservative politician instead of adopting just a Republican.
Pubbie is a pejorative........
swim?
I want to adopt Piper Palin!
You need to see how the remaining Republicans handle Obama. See if they cave to him and support the ones that stand up to the Democrats. This ain’t no bake sale or PTA meeting we’re talking about.
Ummmm..., can you put this in the “vanity column”?
I think there is a “vast-vanity-wing” conspiracy going on — on Free Republic. I’ve started counting the vanities that pop up on the new threads being posted. It appears to be like a “viral organism” — it keeps growing and growing and growing.... yikes!!
I addressed that point.
Fine. No “pubbie”. The gist of the request is the same.
I do have to say that I'm flatly disappointed with my fellow FReepers right now. People are whining that they want something positive to to to help the situation, yet when a positive suggestion is made, it's met with scorn and derision.
I've never seen FReepers behave this way. This was presented in the same spirit as an "Adopt a Soldier" campaign and shot down within minutes.
you are right, definately needed
Thank you, volslover.
Sorry about the typo.
My 15 year old son has mono...
SARAH PALIN!!!
(need I say more?)
Since my congresscritter is Dave Obey, I support a Wisconsin conservative: Paul Ryan.
Up here, northern Wisconsin, during the election all the yard signs said “Obey Obama.” I sort of thought that was going to be the new marching orders.
I’m sorry about your troubles right now, truthfully, your husband in Iraq and your son’s illness.
Regarding your idea, I think it might be too soon. I think people are also exhausted from the election (I think a lot of us might have volunteered) or are disheartened, or frankly, just don’t care right now. I’d give it some time. I for one was very excited about a weekend with mindless nothings.
About your son - that’s what I actually care about more, and I dont know you, or him! My daughter has horrible chronic urticaria caused by some unknown autoimmune disorder. I understand how it is to have a child with an illness that the doctors don’t know how to handle. Please take this in the spirit its meant to be given: Don’t worry about conservative vs liberal right now...you have quite enough on your plate. Right now, worry about you and your family. With a husband in Iraq, you deserve a break.
