I don’t disagree with much at all in your “guiding principles”, that’s not my point.
You’re never going to get your preferred candidates elected until you change the hearts and minds of the voters who will elect them. (I’m assuming you’re going to go after districts that don’t normally elect politicians of your leanings, as all the opposite will do is shuffle the deck chairs). You thinkjust because you put up a candidate that signs your oath that the voters will elect them. Why? What keeps them from electing the tax and spend, big government, welfare mentality politicians (who are going to promise them a whole lot more goodies than your candidates) for the last 40 years?
If we’re going to change this country it can only be done by changing the mindset of the voters and that means first reforming the propaganda machine (schools, media, hollywood, etc.) that has put the opposing mindset in place.
Without that you may see limited success but by and large your candidates just won’t be elected because the voters won’t be inclind to vote for them.
Otherwise you’re just pushing a boulder up a hill only to see it roll back down on you.
I don’t want to make it look like I’m piling on your efforts. i’ve just seen to much of these kind of efforts start and then stall because they’re attacking symptoms and not the root causes of our problems.
But good luck. You’re a fine person and a patriot. I won’t post anymore on these threads about this org.
I believe we will elect candidates who support these principles as we build enough citizens in each district who do likewise.
I believe the people who are singing up in each district are the key to that...to educating and attracting more within their own spheres of influence.
So, in answer to your question, Do I believe that we will elect these candidates simply because they take the oath? The answer is no. We will elect them because we build a large enough voting block behind them who also support those principles.
That is the entire thrust of the effort, to get the citizens themselves focused on these principles first and foremost in their voting...and what the mission statement indicates from the get go.
